This is a HeadGum Original.
What do you want? Give me a name!
Give me a name!
You here to take me in, O'Connor?
Y'all know.
She's my friend, too.
I'm going with you.
I ain't coming back.
This is where my jurisdiction ends.
And this is where mine begins.
Let's just stop someone from telling them you're a cop.
The same thing that's keeping me from telling them why you're really here.
A lot has changed.
You're right.
Dom?
Dom! Thank you. Wow! Welcome to another episode of Newcomers.
Lauren Lapkus is out for the season because she's got an eight pound thing that came into her life that she has to take care of. And you can guess what that is.
It's smarter than a cat,
but dumber than a dog.
Right now. It's going to end up being
smarter than everything.
This is the fourth season
of the fourth, no, the fourth episode of the
fourth season. We're watching the Fast and the
Furious franchise. And well, baby,
it's going to be ten episodes. We're going to
cover nine movies and
Hobbs and Shaw. And we're talking
about the fourth film in the franchise.
Fast and
Furious. And if you Google it,
it's hard to find any
information on the movie because it brings you
to the franchise because they named
these movies in the wildest
way.
It only gets more fun, too. This one people call Ampersand because they remove the articles
and it's just Fast Ampersand Furious.
Griffin Newman told me that some people refer to this as Ampersand
because it's hard to say Fast and Furious.
Which one?
Well, Fast and Furious.
The Fast and Furious.
Not the Fast and the Furious
the one with Braga
the most memorable bad guy
of a film ever
Phoenix
is any of this
ringing a bell?
so Ampersand
is available on DVD
it's free on Peacock
and you can watch it
for a fee on Amazon
Apple TV
Google Play
and Vudu guess what we're gonna fucking spoil it because we're talking about the movie so Gabrus it's free on peacock and you can watch it for a fee on amazon apple tv google play and voodoo
guess what we're gonna fucking spoil it because we're talking about the movie um so gabrus you
saw this in theaters i of course i've seen all i've seen all nine and hobs and shaw in the theaters
this one was one that i was let down by but the ending and not just the final moment but the whole
ending sequence was so fun for me
uh at the time that i dug i dug in and enjoyed the rest of this see you said you were like this
is one of the the worst ones yeah i liked this one this one returned to the gritty uh kind of
indie vibe of the first well what you liked about it is that it got that fucking toretto and well the last movie
didn't have toretto or brian in it it's definitely they're definitely a major factor in what we like
about these movies yes i like that people were back um gotta say they fucking kill michelle
rodriguez but i know she's in later movies okay so're going to unpack a lot of this because she's one of the several resurrections that happens in this series.
Let's introduce our guests.
Yes, let's do that.
We have some friends of the HeadGum family here.
You recognize him as a dumbass, and you recognize both of them from the Review Review podcast.
We got Jeffrey James and Riley Anspaugh.
We're recording at 10 a.m. Pacific on a sunday which is why we're on the episode no one real could would say yes well you heard us this is
the worst episode of the series uh the movies uh so oh my god you guys this film took 12 years off
of my life it really it, it really did. I,
when it was like,
I'm like,
okay, I got 30 minutes left.
And then I looked again.
I'm like,
how do I still have 20 fucking minutes left?
But your right gave us the last like 10,
15.
That was worth it.
But everything else beforehand,
I mean,
my God,
I guess I'm,
I guess I'm the minority here. No, I guess guess I'm I'm the minority
I guess you are
I'm a minority
I'm a minority
I guess I'm a minority is a very funny
title of a memoir
I guess I'm a minority by Nicole Byer
but I liked it
I genuinely loved it I thought it was so
fucking fun
I want to talk about
this because I always remember this one
as the worst one, but after watching
them in order again,
the flavor shift from Tokyo
Drift to this is delightful.
I miss Han because I love Han.
Well, we get a little bit of Han.
You get a touch of Han and that's all you need.
I fucking loved when Han was like,
eh, make it to Tokyo.
And I was like, wait, may I go to Tokyo?
And I was like, wait, what?
And spoiler alert, but five ends with,
where do you want to go next?
How about Tokyo?
And he goes, not just yet.
Like, wait, let's do one more movie before I die.
And do they ever go back?
What?
They do go back and he does die again.
Not just yet.
But then he's also resurrected from that.
We will get to it.
He's the other resurrection.
There's a few.
Gabriel, my mind is blown.
There can't be more than one resurrection. Because I thought I knew these movies and there's so much I don't know.
Dude, I'm not exaggerating.
This is the movie of the series I've seen the least,
and it is still four or five times.
And I am confused by the fucking movies.
I conflate them all in my head,
because it's like, which is the one with the cars
and the sort of steel drum Caribbean music?
And it's like, that's all nine, bro.
Is there a scene in all of these?
But I feel like it's the most prominent in two.
Sorry.
No, I'm sorry. I feel like every movie, most prominent in two. Sorry. No, I'm sorry.
I feel like every movie,
this is the only one I've ever seen in this franchise.
But there's gotta be.
Same here.
We got newcomers, finally.
True newcomers.
Old comers and newcomers uniting.
Does every movie have a scene on the beach
where there's like tons of bonfires happening
and people convenient to just kind of stare at cars?
And a lot of corona.
Yeah.
We talk about that a lot on newcomers
because it's the PG-13 sexiness of this movie.
Yes, totally.
This one was the sexiest so far.
It was the most triple kissing of women for sure.
There's way too many lesbian kisses.
There was so much triple kissing.
And you had a lot of butt shots.
And then you had Letty and fucking Dom
in all white on a cliff
where she's like fucking dry humping him.
I was like, you better get it.
Wearing a shirt from Diesel Jeans.
His dad's company.
Days before this,
so I live in an area
that was close
to like an F9 poster.
And like a week ago,
my boyfriend was like,
do you think you'll ever
watch a Fast and Furious movie?
I'm like, in my life,
I don't think so.
I can't see myself doing that.
Three days later,
I get a text from Jeff
being like,
want to be on Newcomers?
We got to watch Fast and Furious.
Let's fucking go.
Life comes at you fast, Riley.
Come true.
Come at you fast.
So why have you guys never seen a Fast and the Furious movie?
Like you just didn't feel compelled?
Because they're on their phones, these fucking Gen Zers.
They're always on their phones.
These kids nowadays.
Because I got Snapchat on the brain.
No, I...
I'm sending nudes to my BFF.
I'm streaking on our streak.
We've gone 106 days.
I don't know.
I think it's just like I was never...
I listened to the first episode of the season.
I know, Nicole, you were saying like you are into cars.
So that was a draw for you.
I am not into cars.
I am not like there wasn't anything.
I also think I was too young when the first one came out to be like, oh, this is a new thing that's coming out for me.
And then since then, it just it was something that none of it caught my interest in any way.
Not even a big, thick, sweet potato-headed...
Well, I did see the pacifier.
See, I got my Vin Diesel fix in the pacifier.
I'm like, he's great.
Wait, how old are you that you saw
the pacifier but not Fast and Furious?
I'm 25.
That's there.
Alright, that's...
I just hit
the cusp of being able to see the best environment
talking to a 25 year old makes me realize that the pandemic was like eight percent of your life
that's brutal i'm so sorry at least you have more shit on the other end i'm coming down the
home stretch i've only got a few more pandemics. Gabriel and I are going to die as soon as the pandemic's over.
I'm not even going to get to hit my 401k, which I don't have either.
I was just going to say, you have a 401k?
I don't.
I don't.
Jeff, what about you?
Do you have a 401k, Jeff?
I know Fast and Furious from the arcade game at the Solon Cinemas arcade in Solon, Ohio.
What?
What's that?
Where is Solon, Ohio?
It's where Kid Cudi grew up in Cleveland.
Oh.
And is it also where you grew up?
It's adjacent to where I grew up in Sheridan Falls.
Okay.
I went there because Kid Cudi grew up there.
That's what it sounded like.
I went there because they had the Tokyo Drift stand-up driving machine.
Oh, heck yeah.
I would play that.
That sounds like fun.
Be careful, Nicole.
I picture you being like, the Tokyo Drift machine arrived at my house today.
Anything we bring up, you're like Googling how to buy it immediately.
Yeah, I did buy the
what is it
Sabian
Sabian
the Sibian
oh my god
congratulations
it's not good
no
that's what I was gonna say
I really didn't like
I don't like it
it's so hard
would you say
you have buyer's remorse
boo
Ferris kick him off
boo
thanks so much for having me
take the reins
I guess I do have buyer's remorse well I appreciate Kick him off. Thanks so much for having me. Take the reins.
I guess I do have buyer's remorse.
Well, I appreciate you re-gifting it to me.
I'm going to get a lot of use out of it. Well, I was like, can I donate it to somebody?
Like a woman in need?
Leave it on someone's porch?
Like, you need this, honey.
Bring it to the new HeadGum studio
and put it next to the NBA jam machine.
And we should say Gabrus is in his childhood bedroom in Long Island.
I am.
I am.
It's changed hands like 11 times because I'm the oldest.
So my brother lived here and then it was a guest room.
Now it's, I guess it's back to a guest room since I'm technically a guest.
There's a sun fade on the wall-to-wall carpeting of where an elliptical used to be.
Yeah.
There's a dried patch of jizz just offside the bed from when that brief period of time
before Gabrus discovered paper towels or socks.
My God.
I also love that there's two fans to cool off my big boy.
And my mom's central air.
And my mom's heavyset, too.
So the house is like 44 degrees.
It rules.
Oh, what a dream it's like
walking around a meat locker i got out of the pool got in the house and i started freezing like t1000
i was like the water you started freezing like the opening scene where she like sprays whatever
that is and then freezes off the oil truck spray it i don't have my hammer. Spray it anyway.
There has to be a better way to do it than freezing it off. Before we get into the movie, we got to do the Toretto Gazetto.
Of course.
Everyone's favorite part.
So F9 star Helen Mirren and Vin Diesel agree Michael Caine would make a great addition to the family.
No way. and Vin Diesel agree Michael Caine would make a great addition to the family. While discussing the mysterious backstory of her character,
Magdalene Queenie Shaw, Oscar winner Helen Mirren,
is it Mirren?
Yep.
Backed Diesel's proposal to bring Caine into the cast.
She even suggested he could play her ex-husband.
Mirren said, I don't know if I'm allowed to say,
she's English, but apparently, is she?
Is she English? Yeah.
No nuts. And you're doing an actually
perfect impression of her. Vin had the idea
of Michael Caine. I mean, wouldn't
that be fantastic? That'd be so
cool and absolutely perfect.
So we'll see. So her character, Queenie,
is an all-powerful criminal introduced in
Fate of the Furious. She's the mother of
Dominic Toretetto's former enemies
owen and deckard played by evans and uh jason statham respectively shaw of shaw she's mrs
shaw yes she is yes shaw's mother which i don't think i tracked man you know, I truly, I just like accepted things as I watched these movies.
Being like, yes, sure.
That's a thing.
Uh-huh.
I remember that.
Shoot.
The interpersonal relationships in this movie are just, they never, they make less and less sense as the movie went on.
Oh, yeah.
And they keep building.
This is a quicksand foundation that they build all of the friendship dynamics on.
Also, can we just pop back to the Torettoetto for a second yeah how is that news they're they're making the biggest franchise in the world like it would be cool if this famous actor joined everyone's
like you guys are crazy it's like michael cain is gonna be in fast 10 now like there's never like
why would he turn it down michael cain does bullshit movies all the time but he's also so
old he might be getting picky and he's like in my late stage of life I'll only do what I want to do
yeah some people just want to watch the world burn Mr. Pareto

And we're back.
So Fast and the Furious was written by Chris Morgan,
directed by Justin Lin.
Hell yeah.
Who has a hold on the franchise.
He has directed so many.
He is also lined up to direct 10 and 11.
He directed nine.
He directed three, four, and five.
Wait, nine wasn't the last one?
I thought with all the posters around,
with all the family, the big hoopla,
I thought it was like,
and this is the end of the franchise.
No, this franchise will never end.
They're making one more two-part
movie yes but also also making a lady spin-off yes that i really want to be in you gotta oh my
god you gotta you need to be right like i could be the tyrese Gibson, you know, comic relief part. Or let me be ludicrous.
It would be fun to have a female car expert.
Like a female mechanic head.
And you would be great at that.
Wouldn't that be amazing?
Watching you just yell at fucking Paul Walker's brother in a mocap suit.
No, I'm just kidding.
That's offensive.
I also believe after watching Fast 9 and we'll talk about this in the 9th or 10th
episode of this podcast but
I believe they're trying to set up Young Toretto
as well
Who do you think would play Young Toretto?
The guy who's in Fast 9
playing Young Toretto
He's an absolute fucking
stud
Oh my god Gabers's an absolute fucking stud. Yeah, he's a better actor
than Vin Diesel.
Oh my God.
Gabers, I'm so horny
for this information.
You're going to like,
you're going to really like
this ethnically ambiguous
buff badass
that young Toretto is.
And I've been trying to do
like my due diligence
and not spoil anything
for myself.
So like,
I'm not going to look him up.
Oh boy,
but I'm very excited oh boy so this
movie was released april 3rd 2009 and let's like okay so the beginning of this it's is wild
immediately into what should be the climax of the movie
okay let's talk jeff let's talk about. You just said what makes the Fast and the Furious franchise work for me so well.
Is that they don't give you like half fucking bullshit and then fucking get you the biggest one at the end.
Although the end of this movie does fucking slap.
Yeah, it's fucking sick.
They open hot.
It's bookended.
That's such a fun way to start a movie.
And almost all of them start with some elaborate car race plan like that.
So this to me really felt like a second beat of the first movie.
It felt like they were erasing two and three and four is the actual sequel, which I guess it is because Tokyo happens at some point after like, yeah, this happens down.
This movie takes place before Tokyo drift,
which is the third movie.
Yeah.
And then,
but also it takes place after two.
Okay.
But,
and before,
and right before five and then,
but also five and six take place before three.
Wow.
Why do they call it Fast and Furious?
That's what I was thinking about for half of it.
I just ripped my AirPods out laughing at that.
That's genius.
They're calling it Ampersand on the fucking subreddit.
Yeah, I would just go four Fast, four Furious.
The thing fucking was.
Four Fast, four Furious.
Six Fast, six Furious.
It works.
I would have just kept doing that. The opening fucking works. Four Furious. Six Fast, Six Furious. It works. I would have just kept doing that.
The opening was cool.
For never having seen any of them,
I was hooked by the opening.
Like, that was an awesome sequence.
It was super fun.
It was like,
like, I caught myself being like,
oh, shit,
like a bunch of times.
It was fucking dope.
They make Vin Diesel,
they make Dominic Toretto
like a Marvel superhero,
like, with his physical capabilities.
Yeah.
Totally.
But what I like about this movie is they spread the wealth.
They let like,
let it get on the fucking gas car.
Like they let like the women and the minor characters do like so much fun shit in this movie.
Like everyone is equally capable.
As a matter of fact,
that's another hallmark of these movies.
I hate to keep calling out patterns.
Everyone has superhuman strength every no every movie everyone has
gained like seven levels inexplicably where it's like ludicrous isn't in this movie but in the next
one he's like the master hacker and roman is like a cat burglar and han is like a weapons expert
and giselle bunchin is in the uh she got not giselle bunchunchen is in the... Gal Gadot.
Gal Gadot was in this.
Gal Gadot's in this. Oh, that was Gal Gadot.
I was like, she looks slightly
familiar to me, but I don't know and I won't
look it up.
I gotta record the podcast
in five minutes. I don't have time to look it up.
Ludacris took a certificate CS
program at UCLA Extension and then
returned to the crew. Yeah, he came back knowing way more about C++.
So, okay, they're hijacking fuel tankers.
Again, this trucker pretty like, I gotta get to where I'm going.
They're stealing loose oil.
Unlike the truckers in the first one, he bails.
He's like, I'm not going down with my truck.
With his iguana.
I'm jumping out.
Also, is gas
that hot of a company?
Go to the fucking 76.
They say in this, they're like, it's gold
here, baby.
What? Why?
Also, how the fuck are you supposed to sell that on the
black market? That's so traceable.
You just bring it in jugs
and it needs gas.
They know a shit ton of car guys. they could probably pawn the gas off on someone but this was like a western right this was like a train robbery yeah and it was very fun horses it's all
cowboy shit and it's just and it's a real fun way to open the movie and then they fucking just kill
michelle rodriguez off camera. So quickly.
Like, so quickly.
So they're, like, making out on that fucking cliff.
I fucking love it.
And then she's in bed sleeping in a way I've never slept.
And Dom's, like, staring at her, like, all moody.
And I'm like, if they don't fuck, I'm going to be so mad.
And then I had to get mad.
I want to see penetration.
Yes, I want to see penetration.
Show Trish, please.
But then he leaves her and goes to Panama City to like work on cars.
And it's very clear he doesn't know the language.
Oh, again, just a recurring pattern is him speaking like half-assed Spanish
to like Spanish native speakers and seeming like el jefe.
He's always likefe mi amigo and they're like yes Dom you know a word
but honestly I can't talk enough about
when Han says I guess
let's see what's going down in Tokyo I can't remember
what exactly he said
he says to Dom I hear they're doing some crazy
shit in Tokyo
I hear they're doing some crazy shit in Tokyo. Yes.
That's what it was.
It crushed me.
I laughed so hard.
It made me,
I was just like,
this is so funny.
It really feels like
they edited out the line
where it's like,
yeah, they're drifting.
Oh, yeah, Dom.
I think that is
what they're doing.
On the beach,
the beach scene
where they're just
kind of all like,
oh, we're partying around
cars midriff over there and
then like butt cheeks clean
yeah cars on the beach and
then it's a nice cars in the
sand their crew is there
they're all having a good
time and then Han just like
looks over at Vin Diesel he's
like and then he's like all
right and then everybody knows
to disperse so they can have a
private conversation like what is this like level of nonverbal communication?
It's perfect.
Oh, wait.
Also, in the first chase, they're driving American cars.
And I was like, in the first movie, they drove foreign cars.
Yeah.
And I was like, are they making a switch to American cars?
Because Vin's, his dad's car is like a, I think it's like a Chevy something.
Yeah. Or a Dodge something. Yeah. cars because vin's his dad's car is like a i think it's like a chevy something yeah or dodge
something yeah and uh i think dom loves the old american muscle yeah brian loves the fast imports
the little like jet yeah which is funny because in the first one he drove a mazda r rs rx7 yeah
but he had his dad's he had his dad's muscle car on ice.
On ice!
I'll drive this import for now, and then I'm gonna drive daddy's
fucking American muscle.
For a guy who likes
American muscle cars, he smashes
three a movie for nine movies.
Truly!
I love him. I owe a million
dollars to my dealership in revenge
also that one character
he's just like muscle beats import
every time
just to keep you
just so you know the two types of cars they're talking about
muscle or
imports so Mia calls
Dom at a
payphone how do you get
the number to a payphone how do you know Dom's gonna be
how do you know that at that moment she'll be like can I talk to Dom and they're like
and then that little kid's like of course I know where Dom is also who's answering pay phones
yeah rings nearby oh I should probably check if this is for me. It doesn't make any sense. So we find out Letty has been murdered.
And I'm like, Lord, my fucking jaw dropped.
Because I was like, she's in later movies.
So he goes to her funeral and watches from like 10 miles away.
And then goes to the crash site and finds nitromethane.
He's like fucking Sherlock Holmes smelling the methane
and then recreating the crash in his head.
And I was like, what?
Like watching her, like watching him,
even though he wasn't there.
But he's like, I know exactly how it happened.
It was a That's So Raven flashback.
Truly.
It was.
Yes, it was very that.
Wait, can we go back to the first chase I'm so
sorry at one
point so this fucking truck is going
off the cliff and then
Letty and Dom are in the car
and there's a truck barreling towards
them and Letty's like Dom
no Dom no
and he's like no
and then figures out like
with the velocity of this thing coming at them, to, like, wait
to gun it.
And then it tumbles over them.
And I was like, no!
Dom.
It was so wild.
Dom!
I like, they establish that Dom can get his car to pop a wheelie.
So that becomes, like, an integral plot point at the end of the movie, which I kind of like.
It's like Chekhov's muscle car wheelie.
Establish it in the first act and it definitely gets fired by the last.
Yeah, they do sprinkle treats throughout the movie that pay off in the end.
They're very good at that.
Also, when he's having his little detective psychic episode.
Sherlock.
Like replaying it all in his head.
When he goes to see,
is it Mia, his sister?
Yeah.
He's like,
there were burn marks on the ground
that could only be a result of natural meth,
which is like a shortening for methane gas,
which I did not know.
And I was like,
I turned to my friend,
I was like, drugs?
And then why does he go into an auto body shop
that I guess this guy sells meth.
He goes to talk to Walter White.
Yes, you were watching, you were expecting a very different film.
I mean, that could be in the movie.
Like there could be a meth dealer who owns an auto body shop.
I appreciate this sequence where they show,
where they do the recreation where he goes full mind palace like Sherlock.
I like it because I was mad that they didn't give Letty her like outro.
Like she's dead and you're like what on phone?
It was so fast.
And then it's kind of cool the way they do it.
And this is one of the first times you see it,
but it starts getting sprinkled in the movies more and more
until Fast 9 features a full on like abstract art sequence.
But it's like, truly,
there's a minute-long tone poem in the middle of Fast 9,
and I can't wait till we get there.
But this is the first one where it's like,
this is sort of like meta-physical and satisfying.
And it's like, what is this movie?
Isn't it for car meatheads?
And it's like, now it's a guy visualizing
his lover's car hitting him, and he's like, now it's a guy visualizing his lover's car hitting him.
And he's like, I left her.
I couldn't stop visualizing the script.
I think Chris Morgan deserves to go to jail.
This is also skimming forward because we touched on the funeral where he watched from like 10 miles away.
Him and Paul Walker both on opposite ends equidistant
from the funeral like kind of looking at each other like they can't see each other but somehow
again it's like they have a feeling that yeah like a football field away the other is standing there
but it's like and mia's just in the middle like what the fuck like neither of them are here oh that was
so good you say Chris Morgan needs to go to jail I say Chris Morgan pulls off a fucking circus trick
in getting Brian O'Connor and Dominic Toretto's characters to somehow be friends by the end of
this movie despite their history including the part which the part, which I have not completely, I never remembered until I saw it this time,
that he blames her.
He blames Brian for Letty's death.
It's like,
why are they best friends by the end of this movie?
Yeah,
it is wild.
It's like,
so he infiltrated his group to try to bring them down,
ended up kind of bringing them down and then like,
let him go free.
And then he blames her for letting
yeah like they shouldn't be friends like shouldn't be friends at all yeah but he's got to do he's got
to muscle them into a relationship because it's got it's going to be the foundation of the next
because they gotta be two family three films yeah so uh we find out that the this grant this uh
1972 ford grand torino sport is owned by this man named David Park.
David Park is the one using the nitromethane gas.
So Brian is trying to track down him
and this drug lord, Arturo Braga.
Braga, the man himself.
He like, so oh, then Toretto tries to kill David,
but then Brian saves him and makes him an informant.
And then David and Brian get into a street race
to help the investigation, which is, like, confusing to me.
But then I was like, oh.
It's the second one we've seen.
It's an audition street race.
We saw it in Too Fast.
Too Fast, Too Furious.
Because I thought they were like,
whoever wins gets to drive for Braga.
And so then Dom won, but then Brian also got the map.
And so then they were both driving for Braga.
And I'm like, wait, but Dom won.
Well, it's because Dom won.
Dom cheated and he won.
But then Brian arrested the very effeminate man who was sucking on toes.
So he could take his spot.
That's why that scene was in there.
Yeah, that's why they arrest was in there yeah that's why
they arrest that guy
and he's like
oh so he took
his spot
yeah
that's how he got
to get in there
that makes a lot more sense
because the whole time
I've just been thinking
like what a weird
loophole that
and now we both
drive through
that no one talked about
and if it was the logic
that Dom cheated
people died
yeah
they fucking died
so ornithically
murdering people
in this race
that's the role
I would have wanted to play
is like the crazy guy
who is you know
hosting all these women
at his apartment
he's like
I didn't do anything
speaks in the third person
yeah
and he's like
but all he was doing
was sucking on toes
it was
it was a choice
yeah it was a choice.
Yeah, I mean, that's the level of sexy this movie can be,
is a triple kissing and toes.
Can't show any boobs.
It's so choogly.
But I just thought it was so funny that they picked
the most effeminate-seeming man to be the ladies' man.
I know.
Yeah, why are they at his place?
It was such a fun choice for me.
Oh, also, I have to address,
a lot of people have tweeted at me
that the bad guy in Too Fast, Too Furious
could be white because there are white Venezuelans.
There are Argentinians because a lot of Nazis
left Germany and hid in Argentina and Brazil and stuff.
And then had some babies and shit.
So, you know, sorry
about it.
With the Nazi diaspora. We're sorry,
but if that's what people
really had to lean into and let us
know. Yeah, they're like, I'm a Nazi!
Trust me, a lot of us
white people ended up in Argentina.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
My family had to escape Germany for not the sad reasons.
Oh, okay.
So, okay.
My family had to escape Germany and you go, were they Jewish?
And they go, no.
You go, oh.
Oh, no.
Right.
No, we didn't have to escape Germany until after the war.
It's like, oh.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
I understand. Sorry, could you pull your mask up please
interviewing to be a diversity inclusion consultant at deloitte
okay so then dom confronts phoenix and learns that he's responsible for letty's death
a standoff ensues and dom has somehow i guess I missed the part where he made it so this car could blow up.
Okay, yeah, I caught this.
He pops the NOS, the hose off the NOS, so the car starts filling with NOS.
And then he pushes in the car lighter, which will eventually pop out hot.
Don't know if that's enough to cause a full-blown explosion.
Domino effect.
The domino effect.
Dominico Toretto.
The Dominico Toretto effect.
Well, it fucking blows up like six fucking cars.
Well, first we establish the tunnels, too, which is a very fun part of the movie.
Does that exist?
The tunnel driving?
Yeah, I'm sure, dude.
The tunnel driving is wild.
Holy shit.
Because I'm like, how do they know where they're going?
Later on in the movie when Brian O'Connor's guessing where the false wall is,
it's like, why wouldn't you just slow down a little bit at that moment?
He's like, this might hurt.
And I was like, just slow down.
Don't slam into this.
It all looks exactly the same.
He dives into another car and just kills a guy.
But when Dom gets shot and then the bullet wound in his shoulder changes him.
He like is a changed man.
He's like superhuman.
He like turns around and is like, I'm going to fucking kill this man.
And he's like, doof, doof, doof. He's like fucking hitting him. And then he's like i'm gonna fucking kill this man and he's like doof doof doof
he's like fucking hitting him and then get in the car get in the fucking car stop hitting him get in
the car it's like this is wild it makes no sense why dom doesn't just kill that guy right there
it would be probably better for them in the long run if that dude just dies there yeah
but i do like they do a good job
of somehow establishing in this there's 25 guys with guns two good guys and a bunch of fbi agents
about to enter one good guy can use brian o'connor good guys and you know gray guys brian o'connor
grabs a machine gun and somehow vin diesel's squared away with just five guys that don't have weapons
so you know what I mean it's like wait oh yeah there's 25 armed guys we're the five without
weapons hanging out closest to you Dom and it's like all right he gets to do his like uh his
fighting style is like street brawler meets like it's like a video game fighting style where he
does like suplexes onto cars and shit and it's like just the moment you get to see like oh now you're all
in big trouble they like established dom like he's a dad and he's just beating these five kids
i mean it's like when you see him there there's a moment earlier which like felt like superhuman
strength to me and it was really early on when he goes to the really back drag you but like when he
goes to that shop to like talk to the guy like you're dealing the the whatever the nitrometh or whatever.
And then he's like, I don't know, man, get your hands off me.
Don't touch me again.
And then he pulls him onto a car.
He almost lets the engine drop on his head.
And at the last second, just stops it with his hand and grabs the chain.
I loved it.
I loved it. I loved it.
And I loved when he was like, just don't let this engine drop on my face.
I was like, what's this?
If he let go at that point, it'd be fine.
Like that plus then the bullet.
Like, I'm just like, this man is, he can do anything.
He can do anything.
Yeah.
do anything this he can do anything yeah i was it was like when when the bullet hit his back it at first i wasn't sure it was a bullet because of how little damage it did how little it affected
him i thought someone like threw a rock and it like turned like and then i'm like oh no he was
shot and he's just like yeah what the fuck was that it was like the bullet gave him
strength it was just like strength juice that was shot into him and i fucking loved it yeah
that happens with this movie a bit with these movies is that dom has like emotional powers
like if you upset him he's extra strong if you hurt him if you hurt his family like if you upset him, he's extra strong. If you hurt him, if you hurt his family, like he can't handle.
And it's like, well, that would give Dom superpowers.
It's always like the mom who lifts the car off the baby is Dominic's full vibe.
And he took that personally.
The Dom who lifts the car off the baby.
the dom who lifts the car off the baby so they get into
a hummer with 60 million dollars
worth of heroin in it
and I feel like this is the first movie
where it's like the stakes
of the bad guys is high
like heroin's like a heavy
fucking thing the first movie
we're stealing DVD players
second movie we don't really know what the bad
guys are doing the third movie there's just a mafia and we have no idea what they're doing
just vague mafia yeah but now we've named it it is drugs uh so they drive it to the impound
and then brian's like you owe me a 10 second car and then
which is a callback to other movies
to the first movie because Dom's like
you owe me a 10 second car
so Dom knocks in the window
of a car in a way that I was like
I don't know if you can really do that
which is a callback to the second movie
when Tyrese does it
and I guarantee
Vindy's a watch too fast too furious.
Saw that Tyrese got to smash
a window and was like, when I come back
and I'm the producer, I'm smashing a window
without the shirt on my hand.
Yes, I'm serious.
And I'm doing bad because
Dom is tougher than fucking Roman.
Oh my god.
It really feels like
that feels like, you know,
when kids play make believe, but they always want to one up each other.
It's like, well, what you don't know is like, I,
I actually don't need the glove on my hand.
Cause I don't bleed when I hit glass.
And what you don't know is that I can bullets.
Give me, I'm actually, I'm actually bulletproof.
I'm at my guys.
The heightening of each movie is like, well,
what you don't know is I actually have a force field around my body.
Yeah, it truly feels like that.
It really does.
It fully fucking does.
I love that.
And the car meetups is just show and tell.
So it's Subaru Impreza that he gets, a WRX hatch hatchback so they drive back to Dom's house where they reunite
with Mia and then Dom
finds out that Brian is indeed
the last person to be in contact with
Letty so then they get into a huge
fucking fight and then we
find out that Letty was working undercover
as an informant in exchange for
clearing Dominic's record because she wanted
Dom to come home from Panama.
He also yells it at him.
She wanted me to come home.
I'm sorry, Dom.
I'm sorry.
It's so nuts.
So many grown men take full-on fucking ham fists to the face in this movie and are in the next scene.
Not a scratch.
Just absolutely fine.
Whether it's Phoenix, Brian.
If I was a sound designer, I would want to work on these movies because it's like, all right, these punches really got to sound intense.
He's angry.
But it's not not gonna actually hurt anybody
yeah he doesn't
he doesn't bleed
but then later in the movie
when he shoves the other
like annoying FBI guy
into the wall
it's the most blood
in the movie
oh yeah
when he
he gets so bloody
Shea Whigham
gets his ass
it's like smashing
a fucking honeydew melon
wait what is his name
Shea Whigham
the actor's name
is Shea Whigham
I forget what his character's name
is, but I like that dude a lot.
He's a good actor. You hear his
nose shatter. Stajic is his name
in the movie. Stajic? The way
he shoves his face into concrete might
kill a person. Yes!
I thought he was dead. I'm like, well, that
man, he's passed away.
But I also love, after it happened,
nobody really reacted other than they were like,
clean yourself up.
And I was like, no, you're not going to say you're okay.
You're bleeding on my floor.
You okay?
It felt really like my dad and me and my two brothers
where he would come in and be like,
what are you all crying about in here?
And it's like, he punched me in the face, I punched him.
He's like, just everyone knock it off and walks out.
Like no real punishment of like, just everyone stop being an asshole it feels like
the fbi guy's like all right kids just everyone go to your rooms yeah what while we're jumping
around talking about characters can i just pop in on campos who ends up also being braga that guy
john ortiz who ends up this is one of his early roles. He's in a shit ton of movies. But he's fucking good.
He's good.
Yeah, I like him.
He sells you as the sycophant right-hand man for the whole movie.
And then when it's revealed that he's Braga,
you're like, he changes his demeanor and becomes the boss.
He does.
It fucking works.
No, he was great.
Yeah.
He's also fucking hot.
Mm-hmm.
He does it for me. I will will say what they do is they fill this movies to the brim with just like the sexiest hottest men
and i fucking thank them for it thank you justin
and very few white men these movies i know i'm the white i'm the white guy talking about this
all the time but they fucking cast the fuck like the phoenix uh laz alonso who plays like
i thought he was hotter than the main guy right the guy who kills letty that guy's an
absolutely gorgeous man yeah yes laz alizano he's very sexy, he can like fucking, ooh, I want him to just hurt
me, you know?
Just like push me off the bed.
I want Letty to break
my arm in a fucking jujitsu
arm bar so bad. Yeah, I would watch
everybody cast in this movie like
just have an orgy. Now I'm just looking at
pictures of this man. He is oof.
Now I'm just jerking off.
Patty.
I'm using Nicole's uh discarded sibian talking about everyone in this movie so hot and then plus like the coloring that they do to this
movie it kind of makes everyone is like a little bit dirty and a little bit sweaty it's like they've
all been working on cars in every scene so what's the fact they're already all baseline hot and then it looks like you've just met up with them outside of a garage yeah
they're like sun kissed yes a little dewy with some sweat a little bit of grime i know i know
laz alonzo from he's on the boys oh yeah he's mother's's great on The Boys. The Boys is a great movie. Not movie.
A fucking TV show.
Hell, yeah.
You watch The Boys?
Yeah, I read the comic The Boys.
Nobody watches The Boys, and I've been dying to talk about it with somebody.
Buyer, I'll text you.
No way this is Newcomer Season 5.
Yeah, let's do it.
It depends if Lapkus has another big hobby that takes nine months to solve.
Big hobby.
Big hobby.
I've got a big hobby in my tummy.
What's season five?
Twilight?
Harry Potter?
No, it's the boys.
You know, Lazo Lazo.
I mean, I fucking love the boys.
I love the boys.
Juicy, hot people.
Everyone's sexy in that show,
and it's like they exploit them on purpose.
They really do.
And then, like, the wildest shit happens
that I never see coming, and I really... to this so okay braga uh uh brian tells his superiors he's gonna
lure braga into a trap in exchange for dominic's pardon i don't know why this recaps is dominic he
is dom dom toretto so okay at the drop site brian plans to expose braga but then it's revealed that it's
a decoy and the real braga escaped to mexico and then brian is removed from active duty which is
is that something that's going to happen in every movie like he's he's going to be an fbi agent and
then they're going to be like sorry man you keep fucking up i got news for you if we want the
spoiler eventually they all are just working for like some sort of CIA
organization.
They're eventually all working for the American government in some capacity, you know, shadow
organization.
It rules.
Honestly, they should tell improv students to watch these movies.
They heighten.
Yeah.
They just heighten.
So so like incrementally.
So like it works.
It ends up becoming like an ensemble Bond.
They're like ensemble James Bond movies
because they get so heightened
and it's like stop nuclear fallout
from happening to Earth.
It's like let's send these eight street racers.
My God.
I found out right before we recorded
that the first one is them stealing DVD players.
That's unbelievably funny.
And the way that they can
incrementally heighten to
that and justify it is
phenomenal. Trying to figure out
who's stealing the VCR
players is a big case
in the first movie.
Oh my god. Oh wait.
I meant to make this joke earlier. How
2007 is this movie
That GPS
Is so like
Cool
It's obviously so new
And when Brian's like shut up
Rerouting
Make a U-turn
You gotta be fucking kidding me
It's like the first GPS
It's so obviously like there's this new tech that people use when
they drive it's like yeah they show the map so much exactly oh my god after after dom wins they
were like when the gps calls you answer and i was like that's not how they work
it's not a phone and gal is the one like giving out the GPSs. And there was a moment later that I'm just remembering
and thinking of wanting to see some Vin Diesel action,
wanting to see Dom fucking fuck someone.
And Gal's on the car, and she keeps asking every scene,
she's like, why aren't you into me?
What kind of woman do you like?
I love it.
And when he said he's like, 80% devil, 20% angel.
And he's like someone who's not afraid to get car grease under her fingernails.
And she goes, that doesn't sound like me.
And he's like, it ain't.
It ain't.
And what?
I know.
It's perfect.
He loves Leti so much.
He loves Leti.
Yeah.
He does. It is. Oh, my God. it's perfect he loves Letty so much he loves Letty yeah he does it is
oh my god
but honestly
I wish more men
were honest like that
like I wish
when I hit on dudes
they were like
80%
20%
you know
whatever
and I like a girl
who's not
fucking fat
and I'm like
okay
I got it
thank you so much
I understand
goodbye
if I said that on a first date she would get a call from her roommate who's in trouble I'm fucking fat. And I'm like, okay, I got it. Thank you so much. I understand. Goodbye.
If I said that on a first date,
she would get a call from her roommate who's in trouble.
She would take a 45-minute dump
and you'd be like,
she's been in the bathroom for a really long time.
She would take her purse to the bathroom.
Let's just say that.
I also love that Gal was honest, too.
She's like, that is not me.
Yes, more people need to be.
Honestly, the Fast and the Furious franchise can teach so much.
They should show that clip in like sixth or seventh grade
and be like, you know, if the person's not who you want them to be,
it's okay to tell them.
And then you have to understand that you're not the person they want.
And then it would just make everything so much easier.
They've shown this in a sex ed class.
They just show the girls triple kissing in the background.
Yeah.
And this is hot.
What?
Thank you, Tina.
They have to establish how much Dom loves Letty.
And this is a little bit of a spoiler.
So that in six, when she comes back with amnesia and is working for the bad guys. He has to try hard to win her back.
No!
She comes back and has amnesia
and is working for the bad guys.
Gabrus, the best part is
you tell me these things
and then I go, okay.
But then when I see them in action,
I scream.
When I saw Han, I screamed.
And then when he said the tokyo thing i screamed
i knew it was happening you told me and i couldn't handle it there's something fun about dropping
these little connections to people who don't fully know about them because it yeah when you
really start articulating the movie like if fast nine started with previously on the fast and the
furious franchise you would be like, this is insane.
If they tried to catch you up to how they got to nine,
like with voiceover.
And then of course they started working for Mr. Nobody,
a shadow organization.
And Deckard Shaw joins their crew after he kills Han.
I don't think so.
I don't fucking think so.
Oh my God.
I have never been more excited
to like get through movies.
I had so much fun watching
all of them. I hated Tokyo
Drift but the last five
seconds of it I was like
it made up for the whole movie.
This one I loved.
Can you please tell Riley and Jeff
why the last five seconds of Tokyo Drift
Okay so Vin Diesel and fucking Paul Walker are not in the movie.
Instead, this weird man with a weird southern accent has to move to Tokyo.
You better believe Lil Bow Wow is fucking in it.
They have to learn how to drift.
There's this weird woman from Australia, and it's literally insane.
It makes no sense.
At the end, the main character who has a southern accent is doing like
a race and then we see fucking dom torretto in the car next to him and then he's like i knew han
back in the day what does he say fuck he's like i i did some jobs with han. Yes. And then that's it. But you're like, yes,
that's $800,000 for that.
I want to make.
And also not only that,
but a promise to be in four in the lead in four.
And then I think he becomes a producer in five.
Yeah.
Also,
there are parts of the movie where Dom is talking and it is not
indiscernible English.
I mean,
it's just,
I mean,
I had wine reads or I had to turn the subtitles
on for this film.
Five minutes in, I'm like, I cannot understand
a word anyone's saying and I had to
turn the captions on because
he doesn't move his mouth when he talks.
I think it's called Grumblecore.
Nice!
Absolute
insanity. It was really
wild. I'm like I
like I would
I would turn
I was turning the volume
I was blasting the volume
on the TV
every sound effect
was so loud
and then as soon as
it would cut to him
he'd be like
I'm like well fuck me
I'm like blowing my ears out
with the sound of the engine
that's the beauty
because
because Don Toretto
understands peaks and valleys
of what you're watching
yeah
you know the action's the height that you bring down.
And you ground it a little bit.
It's the numbers.
And you know, you feel.
Anyway, we gotta get through this.
You feel.
Okay.
So they're traveling down to Mexico.
And Giselle gives them directions to track down Braga.
And then they're going through these tunnels, which is fully fucking insane.
And then what happens?
Oh, so then like there's a crash.
This racing through the tunnels was truly insane.
It was really fun.
It's easier to shoot and keep it scary, I feel like,
because the POV works so much better.
You don't have to see a lot of wide shots. So you can kind of like use editing to your advantage way more and
i had a lot of fun in the tunnel the geography of like what when you're making these big action
sequences is very hard to be like who's where and why yeah they do it it's an okay job and once
you're in the tunnel you kind of lose track of who's where but it's enough flashy cuts but for me the movie this is why i love blockbuster films specifically the fast and
furious franchise the shot leading up where they show the chase going into the fucking tunnel it's
like mad max it's a yeah it really was cool helicopter shot of like 16 cars chasing two cars yeah just like in the desert and in the desert
exactly yeah it looks so cool there's nothing else in the frame but two dozen cars blowing
through a huge desert and just i love just put that money on the fucking screen yeah how much
money did this movie i i'm who gives a fuck pour it on the screen with like tons of cars just flipping i love seeing
like lifted trucks and jeeps too because so much of the uh movies are like the low fast cars yeah
but every once in a while they need like special missions like in the first one here they get those
tow trucks that flip open but here you get to see some of the bad guys the drug runners have like
those super springy pickup trucks and i love And the tow trucks come back in Hobbs and Shaw when they go to Samoa or Samoa.
Samoa.
One of the people on 90 Day Fiance says Samoa, so I say Samoa.
But it's not correct.
It's not correct at all.
Farrah says 360.
The budget on this movie was $85 million and they used every fucking penny of it.
It made 360 million,
which is fucking nuts.
It made more than 70 million in its opening weekend,
which is like wild.
Also,
I got to say the,
the cops coming,
that was also pretty dope looking.
And then,
Oh yeah.
This fucking last scene with Dom on the bus my first of all i was like this judge
excuse me we had a deal you know he brings down yeah before we get to the judge one cool thing
i want to talk about how you're you're the stud dies he dies in a very cool way oh yeah oh yeah
he's about to shoot brian and all of a sudden vin diesel's got like another muscle car. He's got his like fifth part
of the movie. This part makes me scream.
He comes flying out of the mountain
and he's just bearing down on
Phoenix. Phoenix turns to him
opens fire. He does the
pop a wheelie so that the bullets are hitting the
bottom of the car rather than the windshield
and then you're like he's just driving right at
him and you're like why won't Phoenix get out of the way?
Phoenix goes get out of the way and Phoenix goes to get out of the way.
And Brian grabs his ankle and holds him in place to get hit by a car.
That is so fucking cool.
That is like the ultimate wrestling tag team move.
Yeah, it really is.
But then Dom kills him.
And then it's like you see Phoenix slumped over the car.
And then the part that really just I was undone is it cuts back to dom and he just goes pussy yes so bad i lost my damn
mind i was screeching i rewind i'm like i gotta see that again i mean these movies they're so
fucking fun like and i do love that they started at a fucking 11
because we ended at like a hundred.
It was so much fucking fun.
Yeah.
Real quick, we have to take a break.
And we're back.
So this film was not well received critically.
It is a 28% on Rotten Tomatoes, which I think is incorrect.
Fuck Rotten Tomatoes.
Rotten Tomatoes is broken.
Uh-huh.
So a critic from Time Out wrote, turn off your mind.
Turn off your mind, though.
And there is some fun to be have from some of the better whiz-bang sequences.
What?
I don't fucking know what that means.
I think it's a perfect movie.
I thought it was a real throw to the original movie.
Yes.
And I kind of think that was the plan.
It felt so good.
Nicole, it's funny you say that
because I feel like when you zoom out and look at the entire franchise, that was sort of the plan. It felt so good. Nicole, it's funny you say that, because I feel like when you zoom out
and look at the entire franchise,
that was sort of the plan,
and I would imagine they were like,
all right, we got Vin and Paul Walker in this movie.
Let's lock it in and do, like,
it's a heightened version of the first movie,
and that'll re-ground us
in what the premise of these movies are.
And I think it works.
And then in five,
they shift the entire premise of the movie,
kind of like the attitude that it comes from,
but they've earned it.
You'll see.
It's just a really,
and that's why it's my favorite movie.
They do such a good shift.
Before we talk about any other trivia,
do we just want to talk about
how cool the ending of this movie is?
So sick.
It's a bookend.
It's like such a great...
It's perfect. he's on the
prison bus he sent us to 25 years without parole with no option for early parole yeah he's in his
orange fucking jumpsuit he looks fucking good it plays with the olive colors in his skin tone
he looks like incredible it's a big bud press coverall outfit. What a deep cut that very few
people will get. But
Big Bud Press, organic stuff
made in Los Angeles.
Anywhere east of the 101, you know what I'm talking
about. Or the way I know
Big Bud Press is that a lot of
the kinds of models that I like to look at
wear Big Bud Press.
Large size clothes.
My kind of ladies wear those
kind of big clothes. I'm here for it.
My kind of ladies
wear those big clothes.
I'm so familiar with certain brands
because it's like the models on Instagram
are like, I'm wearing this.
Yes, you are. You're indeed wearing it.
Yes, curvy. You're wearing wearing it. Yes, you could be.
I see.
Yes, you're wearing the shit out of that fashion, Nova.
They added a sundial.
So, okay, some trivia.
Due to Universal Pictures moving the release date up from June 12th to April 3rd, Jesus,
composer Brian Tyler only had three days to record the orchestra.
That's the score.
That's insane.
And I'll say this.
It shows.
It shows.
It's not enjoyable at all.
It's not a, we don't go like, the score of this movie ruled.
No.
You don't remember it.
You don't remember it at all.
No.
That's a great Tyler Perry move.
Does it say why they moved it up?
Because that's not just like a week.
They really, fuck it. They just gotta get it out. Because that's not just like a week. They really... Probably because something bigger
was being released in the summer.
So it's like you have your summer tentpole movies
and then you're like, oh shit,
this might not do well, so you move it up to the spring.
Well, hey, then they made $360 million.
Yeah, whatever they did,
they made the right choice.
Good move.
So we already said it, but Fast and the Furious
outgrossed the
tokyo drift in its first fucking weekend alone which is very funny um and that's the power of
vin diesel and paul walker i mean that is a magic chemistry that we will see be that made these
movies literally the movie leaves the two of them for two movies and you're so ecstatic that they come back together that's like a true charisma friendship on screen yeah dynamism in some way it's so fucking cool i agree
i love it it was such it was so nice to see them all together um also i like that they let mia drive
in the end yeah does she drive me as a doctor and a driver it drive more? Mia's a doctor and a driver, it turns out. Wait, she's a doctor?
Well, she's the one who repairs
Dom's bullet hole.
He goes, I gotta get you to a doctor.
JK, it's your sister, but she's good at doctor shit.
Trust me, we play doctor every weekend.
Oh yeah, they fucked on the counter
while Dom was in the garage.
We didn't see them fuck,
but we know what happened.
We heard it, though.
You heard Trish right Riley
I think we all heard Trish
I think we all heard it
Okay well
We've come to the end
Next week we're watching
Fast Five
I'm really excited about it
I fucking love these movies
They bring me joy

Jeff, Riley, do you guys have anything you want to plug?
Can I just run a stand-up joke by you?
God damn it.
Yeah.
It's related.
My God.
It better be.
Cobbs and Slaw, the fastest barbecue sides ever honestly it works in this context
because we're talking about it yeah but you would have to explain that to an audience
now i'm not as well versed in stand up as buyer that's my opener and closer it's my type one
it's 10 seconds of saying it and 50 seconds of a standing O
well I say you can work it I know you're touring
opening for Louis CK this summer so
you can test out your material
special guest I'm not supposed to announce it but Delia
is going to be at the Albuquerque show
and Jeff is solely doing
Fast and Furious material
in between movies 9 and 10
when it's completely out of the zeitgeist.
I mean that's
truly this is my life. I'm like all I want
to talk about is Fast and the Furious and it happens
like once every three years that everyone
is talking about it. And then they asked me
to fill in for Lapkus on Newcomers and I was like
more screaming about Toretto!
Oh my god.
I mean
it's fucking delightful
I'm truly having a great time

your plugs on Jeff's jokes
