Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Original. The most important thing in life will always be the people right here, right now. That's what's real. Hello? Dominic Toretto. You don't know me. You're about to. Who did this?
Starting point is 00:00:34 Remember Owen Shaw? This is his big bad brother. He's a special forces assassin. They created a monster. Looks like the sins of London have followed us home. We're being hunted. Shaw lives in a world that doesn't play by your rules. And like it or not, you and your friends are a part of it now.
Starting point is 00:00:59 I don't have friends. I got family. This time it ain't just about being fast. Can somebody just walk me through what we supposed to be doing? Yo, Roman, you need some fresh air? Just when you didn't think it could get any better, huh? We got mercenaries after us with enough weapons to wipe out small countries. This right here takes crazy to a whole nother level.
Starting point is 00:01:42 So what's the plan, Don? One last ride. Oh, wow, it's another episode of Newcomers, and we're covering Furious 7. The person with me is Gabrus, because Lauren has other things on her mind. Big plans. Or little plans. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:40 She has a lot of plans. Tiny, little plan that's going to be a lifetime of planning. So this is the seventh episode of the fourth season. We're watching Fast and the Furious. Ten episodes. We're covering all nine movies along with Hobbs and Shaw. We're discussing the seventh film in the franchise. I cried at the end of it.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Furious 7. Not to cheer your sadness, but I'm glad to hear you're a human like myself wow what what raw so it came out in 2015 but it feels so current uh furious seven's available for fee on amazon apple tv google play voodoo there's gonna be spoilers baby because the film's six years old um let's just introduce our guest baby sam you baby. Sam, you want to do it? You want me to do it? Hell yeah. I started it, and then I was like, you fucking do it. I thought you said Sam. Oh, imagine.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I was like, Sam, introduce yourself. That is exactly what I did. Sam, you do it. From Veep, Detroiters, Champagne Ill, and the new feature, The Tomorrow War, it's Sam Richardson. Hey. Oh, baby. i was about to introduce myself i really was i was like one beat away it is truly how i said it sam what is your relationship to the fast and furious film franchise um i've seen honestly up through seven okay oh shit yeah you have all the backstory you need for this one and none of the post story yeah exactly like i watched the first uh two when they were like new ish and then uh i hadn't seen i bought them all on itunes i was like i'm gonna just sit down i'm gonna like
Starting point is 00:04:23 watch them all i kind of never got around to it but then i was in london uh and my buddy lives out there my buddy from detroit lives out there now and we it was his birthday weekend so he came to my hotel and we watched one through uh seven together that. Wait, is your friend want to be my friend? That sounds like the perfect, perfect. Hey, this is weird, but can I meet your friend? He sounds like him and I would get along.
Starting point is 00:04:57 That's not weird, man. No, thank you. Thank you. You could share this friend. I like this friend, too. Did you guys cuddle in bed? Because that's what I envisioned. On the couch. Just like cuddling in bed with some snacks, some room service, a couple of beers. Had all that.
Starting point is 00:05:12 As a touring comedian, whenever you have a friend in your room, like, let's watch a movie after the show or whatever. And you're like, all right, we both are going to lay on my double bed together. All right. It's a shitty little hotel, I guess. Like John Gemberling's going to take his pants off and get underneath the blanket with him. True story, Gemberling.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I love it. Very specific. Very nice. Yeah, keep those boundaries. This movie was fucking wild. It starts at a 10 and ends at like a 22 it is truly the wildest action sequences i have seen in a movie um i forgot how wild they were it really features some of the best uh monster set pieces of the series i think like yes the the parachuting car convoy thing. The driving through three build or no two buildings.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah. Yeah. Two buildings. Starting in one building, driving through another one into a third. Yes. And then out of that one. Onto the ground. Something that happens in that sequence.
Starting point is 00:06:21 We're talking about, we're talking about when Vin and when Brian and Dom steal the super car. Of course, the chip that they need is in a super car. There's always a chip in a car. They always have to steal a car. That's just the basics of this. They're like, the chip is hidden in a spare tire in the trunk. Oh, thank God.
Starting point is 00:06:39 It's cars. Yes, we can do it. That's our specialty. We know cars. We were talking about how these this franchise always does one more thing than they have to and i think the most indicative part of that movie is they blow through uh he's driving a supercar from one tower to another to another and in midair the supercar is hit by a grenade launcher
Starting point is 00:07:00 what an unnecessary step but we have to demonstrate that shaw is such so accurate with his grenade launcher and it's like what we're already jumping from building the building we don't need a grenade to hit the car little pizzazz on it i also love that part of the story vin diesel had to he held the car up with sheer muscle. He deadlifted a car that they set up as bulletproof, which means it's not light. It's very heavy. It's tons and tons.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And Paul just gets under it. And he's like, you got this? And he's like, tinker, tinker, tinker, tinker. I got my little light. I was like, did they introduce that he had like some sort of steel skeleton or something in a previous movie? Slowly. Not exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:50 But when you see him catch Letty in midair and land on the hood of a car and be completely fine, he might have adamantium bones. He might. Great. Also, I love the scene after they dive out of the car. The car goes out the the third building and it's falling there's just a nice family having dinner who doesn't notice it no no that shot took a long time to set up and it was for what just for me to teehee it the briefest teehee it's not even like a reaction shot of like a people like whoa this is crazy
Starting point is 00:08:29 it's the fact that they're ignoring it yeah as if like oh in dubai this shit happens all the time it's just so what before we like get get into the movie uh we got the Toretto Gazetto. Oh, right. So Vin Diesel teases Fast and Furious cameo for Paul Walker's daughter, Meadow. Guess what he says. Can you imagine what he says? I would not count anything out, Diesel told E! News. When asked if Meadow 22 would ever make a cameo in the franchise, he continued, without giving you all the secrets of Fast 10,
Starting point is 00:09:10 let's just say nothing's ruled out. Nothing is off the table is what he usually says. Yes, but he's like, much like the titles of the film, he was like, how can I rework it so it's technically the same thing?
Starting point is 00:09:24 So Meadow has remained close to the Fast and Furious family since her father's passing. She attended the F9 premiere this summer. I mean, sure. While we're on the topic, this is the movie that Paul Walker passed out, passed away, passed out on set. And that's the major story about him in Fast and Furious.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Yep, he passed out on set. And that's the major story about him in Fast 7. Yep, he passed out on set. Everything was okay. We are great. He passed away before principal photography was done and they had to, and they put together, we'll talk about the whole movie, but they put together a pretty solid tribute at the end. I can't hear that song now without crying.
Starting point is 00:10:01 I know, I'm thinking about it now, stop. A whiz song that makes me tear up is just a crazy situation to be in in life. We're like, oh man, I'm getting choked up. It's Wiz Khalifa again. It's like, what? I mean, it is really, it's the beginning of it that like tinkles, like doo, doo, doo.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Like that just makes me feel things. And then it's just so sad. And yeah, we're jumping to the end. But like Brian's in a Toyota Supra, which is the 10 second car. He or she, he promised Dom, but it's white. Like he's an eight. And I was just like, oh my God, this was done with so much care and thought. And then they go, they go to race.
Starting point is 00:10:40 And they go separate ways. Separate ways. It's not goodbye. And the look in whether it's CGI it's the brother it's whatever it is the look in Paul Walker's face and that smile and that smile is like I'm getting
Starting point is 00:10:54 I have fucking goosebumps talking about it like it really fucking hits man yeah it really is and his phone conversation with Mia when she's like when I first saw this movie in the theater I knew this was the movie and they keep setting up that he's in these dangerous
Starting point is 00:11:11 and dangerous situations they're going to kill this guy in the movie? I'm like please don't let Tony Jaa kill Paul Walker, everyone will hate Tony Jaa forever it's like everyone's indestructible just please don't let Paul die.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Like, and they keep setting up like Paul, he's got these separate missions. You go up on the tower by yourself. I'm like, no, no, stay away from the fucking tower,
Starting point is 00:11:34 man. You go ahead and get in that fist fight on the edge of that volcano. I mean, and I got to say through and through Paul Walker saves the world in a hoodie and Vans in every movie and nothing changes. We don't dress him a little bit more heroically for his last one at all. No, he wears. Everybody has to wear tuxedos.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Right. Everyone is stylish in one scene. And then right after that scene, Dom goes, all right, everybody get changed. Right after that scene, Dom goes, all right, everybody get changed. Also, I cried during the wedding. The wedding recap when when he was like when Letty goes, why didn't you say we were married? He's like, you can't tell somebody to love you. I'm going to cry right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Now, while you're crying, let's discuss. You want to talk? Paul Walker dresses the same way I do for my eighth grade, my first day of eighth grade, like Airwalks, Orange County Choppers t-shirt, and long Quicksilver shorts. But fucking Vin Diesel is in a wife eater and white capri pants in so many of these movies, including on his wedding. On his wedding day.
Starting point is 00:12:45 She has a full dress and he's wearing a white tank top and capris and they didn't get a ring, so he puts his necklace on her. Why are you marrying this giant potato freak? Okay, doesn't care. And then the priest marrying them is just like a boy like a little boy
Starting point is 00:13:05 my god this movie is incredible so oh wait before we get in the movie we should take a break okay we're back Furious 7 written by Chrisgan is he new to the franchise no he wrote the last one oh okay but james wan wayne wan wan he's new he's new yeah he's the conjuring director he's he's fucking talented guy he brought him in for this one but i will say he did change the movie tonally or the move like i feel like in four five and six it had a darker feel and in the beginning of this it's very poppy like the second one but then it totally shifts right after race wars to go back to being a little darker so i guess the darkness i think they're trying to show that everyone's lives are good in the beginning of this movie where it's like everyone's adjusting to their new lives.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Like Paul, like I like all the Brian O'Connor minivan bits that he's doing and shit like that. But like once once the house gets blown up, it's like we got to get back to the fucking streets. That was wild. I couldn't believe it. Shaw loves to blow shit up. And like even Shaw's intro is like the beginning of a call of duty you know what I mean it was nuts why did he blow up the hospital
Starting point is 00:14:30 that his little brother is in his little brother's in the hospital like well surely this would be detrimental to your brother's health that doesn't make any sense he's like take care of them as the doctor's cowering in the corner and they're probably like you blew up all of our equipment how do you want us to take care of them as they're like the doctors cowering in the corner. And they're probably like, you blew up all of our equipment.
Starting point is 00:14:46 How do you want us to take care of him? Why he doesn't leave with his own brother there and set him up with his own doctor or something. He seems to have limitless possibilities of what he can and can't do. I mean, his resources are limitless. Shaw is a strange character to me. Cause I'm like,
Starting point is 00:15:04 where the fuck does he come from? Why is he like this? What? So he breaks into fucking Hobbs's office and they have a fight. And then what? I want to talk about this fight because this is a fun one. This is the first time in the franchise and arguably the first time in a movie starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson that they reference the fact that he works out because he's so
Starting point is 00:15:27 insanely buff. This is the first time ever. It's like he's drinking a protein shake. It's like, yes, he would be doing that every hour in the movies. Finally we see him like post work. Now it makes sense that he's oily and veiny because he just worked out for the first
Starting point is 00:15:43 time. It seems like. I mean, they should have really put like a bunch of equipment in that office also. To be like, this is all this man does. He's doing preacher curls when Statham walks in. And this movie, I think, is one of the only movies where people actually get hurt. Yes. Where there's like a little bit of consequence to things. A little bit.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Shaw throws Hobbes. I mean, Dom, yeah, Dom dies and gets brought back by Letty's memories. That's right. By an amnesia. Someone recovering from their amnesia brings him back to life. Brings him back from having been crushed. My God. They're like, stop doing CPR.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Let me slowly tell him a story I mean yeah that's what she does she's like stop it stop it okay Dom
Starting point is 00:16:31 I remember and then he was like yes you remember my god but when Shaw goes off
Starting point is 00:16:42 or no he throws an explosive so then Hobbs and homegirl who was fucking Dom but I guess is now fucking him When Shaw goes off, or no, he throws an explosive. So then Hobbs and homegirl, who was fucking dumb, but I guess is now fucking him and working with him. They like tumble out of the building. A car breaks their fall again. This is a recurring thing. This car hurts them.
Starting point is 00:17:01 No, it's not the car is different. Hobbs is different than Toretto. Toretto doesn't, a car can't hurt Toretto. He's part car. Hobbes is, car is completely foreign to him. But it is the second scene, literally if you played all the movies back to back, it happens
Starting point is 00:17:17 45 minutes after Dom does the same thing to save Letty and it's just in this movie again with a different guy and a different girl. You're like, what the fuck is the point of this? They're really counting on a couple of years
Starting point is 00:17:30 between the two. Yeah, exactly. I do think they think you'll forget about that they're just reusing the same. Oh, a car breaks their fall. It's possible they forgot. They were like,
Starting point is 00:17:39 didn't we do this in the last movie? It's like, who fucking knows? We had the tank, the plane. But it's so funny that they can't remember basic shit like that, but they remember loopholes to bring people back from the dead. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Right. Right. It's so wild. So then Mia reveals to Dom that she's pregnant again. And then Dom's like, God, so Brian. And then she's like, but he told me that he misses not the action, but the bullets. And I was like, what? I'm like, bro, you don't have to tell your wife that.
Starting point is 00:18:13 I wish I wasn't home with you. I wish someone was shooting me right now instead of being with you and this baby. I'd rather be shot at than be a dad. Also, they get a package sent to the house and very casually Mia's like, it's from Tokyo. And Dom's like, Tokyo. And then it fucking blows the house up. Yeah, entirely. Only their house though, thank God.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Oh, wait. So before it blows up, yeah, no other houses are, you know, harmed. But he gets a phone call from, what's his name? Deckard Shaw? Yeah. From Deckard, who says he killed Han in Tokyo. So Han finally went to Tokyo. And it wasn't good.
Starting point is 00:18:56 It did not end up well. So then Dom goes to Tokyo to retrieve Han's body. He said, I'm home. And then he goes to the crash site and gets the necklace that he then gives letty at their wedding but i was like did this necklace only appear in the the third he's been wearing it for movie after oh yeah i keep forgetting wait fuck oh yeah three happens the timeline is insane well this is where it gets confusing because shaw throws the cross on there and where did he get it from because he hasn't like killed toretto or
Starting point is 00:19:31 yet he had uh toretto's wearing it in six i don't fucking care who cares but it is wait no so how yeah why don't they explain how he got it and then the fucking lucas black from three the little mush mouth like southern dude he has it and gives it to him and is like right here han had this and it's just a picture of the family and your cross han when he was like i had a life before this and it was just like, just collecting things from my family and keeping them in my car for when I crash. It's so nuts. I this whole scene is so insane. And you forget how bad that man's southern accent is.
Starting point is 00:20:17 He's like, I got this from home's crash site. And I think you should have it. But are they CGI'd younger? I think they were cause like definitely the idea that he's supposed to be himself from like 15 years back I was like uh oh go ahead and just animate this
Starting point is 00:20:35 they used the original shot of Lil Bow Wow from the movie or else he'd be fucking medium Bow Wow if they tried to shoot him he's now Shad Moss. It's not the same. So, okay. Dom, Brian, Teej, and Roman mourn Han and Giselle at Han's funeral,
Starting point is 00:20:53 which is like so funny that Giselle doesn't get a funeral. Like, why is she just mourned at the same fucking funeral? Like, oh, right. Also, Giselle died. We never actually went to her body or anything. Just fell off that plane. I guess not. And then she because her funeral should have happened way before Hans, because Han went and had a whole time in Tokyo.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Went and had Tokyo drift. He went and had a third. Yeah, he was busy for at least, you know, an hour and 40 minutes. So they should have had a funeral for her. So Dom confronts Deckard in an underground tunnel where they fucking just crash into each other. The fastest speed, like drive,
Starting point is 00:21:32 like as if there are no brakes, they hit, they drive at a hundred miles per hour towards each other. And then just. Walk away. Head on glide with each other. And then walk away. Like no airbags.
Starting point is 00:21:44 No, that's, those are, that's a life ending. And I know for Fast and Furious, life ending means nothing. Yeah, right. Death is not permanent and also it's impossible to die.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Yeah. Like, why avoid anything if you can get through this one? It's not just running into a wall. It's running into a car that's coming at the same forces. The G-Force would at least empty your bowels into your pants. They should have both had visible diarrhea in their shit,
Starting point is 00:22:11 like in their pants when they got out. Imagine they did that and you were watching it. You'd just be like, wow, oh, this is very realistic. This movie does something crazy where they're like, steel reinforced. That's like wearing heavy boxing gloves in the ring or whatever. And it's like, how is Statham driving that car so fast? If it's reinforced with extra steel and also you're dumb for driving into it, Dom.
Starting point is 00:22:38 And he doesn't fall for it twice. He pops a wheelie the next time. Oh boy. When he popped the wheelie, I was like, when he popped the wheelie i was like what a treat but also i was like why is jason statham doing the same thing like why didn't he pop a wheelie why didn't he get on like the the sides of the fucking it was just wild no the biggest the biggest argument i have against this movie is they established that owen shaw in the last movie for what it's worth is part of a of a British mobile unit where they're all vehicle experts.
Starting point is 00:23:06 At least. It's like, why is Shaw such a driver? Just let him be someone else. He doesn't have to show up in a dune buggy in a sports car because now he's just too much like every other person they deal with. They have enough of their own car shit they could do. Just let Shaw be like a
Starting point is 00:23:21 military badass. But instead, he is a solo car driving guy just like toretto just like shaw it's like just come up with something new no sorry gabrus in this world everybody's going fast for the family so then we meet mr nobody who's played by kurt russell that's right i've never complained about Kurt Russell being added to anything. He's one of my favorite actors of all time. It's so fun he's in this movie.
Starting point is 00:23:50 The role is pointless. It's pointless. It's so pointless. We could have eliminated this whole storyline. Yes. But now they need this storyline because they need to start setting up why these guys keep getting involved in crazy missions.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Or else at some point, if you really just want to hang out and drink Coronas at your garage, you just should. You don't have to do Fast 8 or Fast 9. Did you grow up watching the A-Team at all? No. So the first four seasons, great. Yes. So the first four seasons, great. In the fifth season, they added Robert Vaughn as the sort of like Charlie to the Charlie's Angels.
Starting point is 00:24:34 So they all get court-martialed, and then he saves them. Then he fakes their death, and now they work for him. So you have him in there sending them on missions, which before the A-Team was just like they were hidden. And if you find them, you hire them and they take care of your thing. And then they've done the episodes done. But now it's like, he's giving them missions, which is like what I think they were trying to set up here.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Where they were like, he's this guy. He's like a stakes injector because he could go like, look, you're fighting a global terrorist organization. It's not like stealing DVD players anymore. I did love that. They did say that. Yes. In the movie they do. They're like, you're not stealing DVD players anymore. I did love that they did say that.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yes! In the movie they do. They're like, you're not stealing DVD players anymore. And I was like, tee hee hee. That was so fucking long ago. We are so far past DVD players that I can't believe it was mentioned. It's only six weeks ago for us, but we live in the movie time. So it's years and years and years.
Starting point is 00:25:24 At least two mr nobody tells dom that he'll help him stop deckard and so i'm like okay so deckard shaw is going after dom because he thinks dom put his brother in the hospital like that's it that's the one thing yeah because his brother when his brother is not dead you're like well then why is shaw so mad so mad like why your brother was doing crimes yes he got in trouble he didn't get killed he wasn't like murdered he got beat in a fist fight in a flying plane that's all on a respirator he's doing okay so then we find out that he mr nobody wants the eye of god or no god's eye a computer program that uses devices to track people down also he
Starting point is 00:26:15 needs to save a hacker named ramsey who's stunning from a nigerian terrorist named moses uh jacan jacandi yeah you got me i'm not i'm not trying come on i'll let one of you two mess up that pronunciation come on that's uh i can't say his name wait is it digimon digimon honsu yeah he's hot my fucking god he's so hot all the things i would let him do to me and I gotta give him credit where it's due him yelling in anger and frustration in the chopper
Starting point is 00:26:49 is so he's such a good actor his accent is beautiful you watch him go like fuck come on it's so fucking enjoyable
Starting point is 00:26:57 it's so great it's funny too it's like when he grabs the machine gun he's like oh Jesus Christ he's like so so Dom, Brian, Let Christ! He's like, so funny.
Starting point is 00:27:12 So Dom, Brian, Letty, Roman, and Teej airdrop their cars over the Caucasus Mountains. Wait, is that where Caucasians are from? It is. Wow, you're people, Gabrus. I thought we were from the plains because we're plain as fuck. They rescue Ramsey and go to Abu Dhabi to steal a flash drive containing God's eye. Dom. Real quick.
Starting point is 00:27:31 You said they rescue Ramsey. That's a very casual way to describe. They perish. Dom gives her a helmet and then they drive off a mountain. That starts with cars. We hear cars don't fly three times in this movie. They say it so much. And I love that they say it and then they're like,
Starting point is 00:27:52 but these guys are going to fly. They're going to fly. When Tej makes Tyrese, when Tej makes Roman's car go out, I was like, that's actually kind of fucked up. You could kill this man. It's not a cool prank he's not he it goes out and it's just like flipping all over the place i'm like you're not getting a handle on this thing man you're dead it blew a parachute to pull him out i'm like that wasn't his only parachute and then we get the fucking uh again like we love our western uh analogies here we get
Starting point is 00:28:26 our uh convoy hijacking that they get to do but i want to talk about this moment because one of my favorite guys is in this sequence tony ja who's like a thai fighting legend from the ong bok series he's the guy that goes head to head with brian and i think that choreo inside there is so fucking fun it is fun but when they do they like blow it up they like shoot a rocket at her or something the acting in that was not great when he got like jostled around i was like okay friend uh he's more of i mean he's more of a fight choreographer he has two lines he has the line too slow in this movie and he almost nails it it is funny how terrible some of the line deliveries are in this movie ronda rousey i never want to see in another movie again boy oh boy gina carano
Starting point is 00:29:14 look absolutely dynamic an oscar winner oh my god i'm happy to see ronda i'm happy to see her in this movie i'm happy to see i'm always happy'm happy to see her in this movie. I'm happy to see, I'm always happy to see women in high heels beating the shit out of them. That was fucking cool. Um, so the elite guard, the female bodyguards,
Starting point is 00:29:34 that was so, they were so, that whole sequence was real. Like everything in Abu Dhabi was incredible. It was sweet. Yeah. It was so much fun. Um,
Starting point is 00:29:43 so they get the God's eye, which is in the fucking car and they like have a distraction where roman is bad at this it's a bad distraction we were talking yes like first off i'mrese is the comic relief. And he is the funniest person in the movie, but that's because the movie is not cast for comedy reasons. Correct. They didn't lock it in. Honestly,
Starting point is 00:30:16 Kurt Russell is funnier. Kurt Russell is, he's got more comic talent to be fair. Statham does. Statham does, exactly. But he does his old happy birthday does, exactly. But he does his old happy birthday trick
Starting point is 00:30:28 which is just to say, is it your birthday? And then get everyone to sing happy birthday to a very confused pretty woman who can't say any lines otherwise they have to pay her more. Exactly. It was wild. The other thing that happens is they talk about, oh no, not the birthday thing. Like they all know
Starting point is 00:30:44 Yes. It was truly so wild. But Tash and Roman only met in five. Right. Yep. Right. You are absolutely correct. How many times has Tyrese done this since five? This guy just breaks his thing down in every sit-down
Starting point is 00:31:00 restaurant they go to. No, not the birthday trick. He usually just sings his birthday so you get a free cake. Nicole, did you not feel for Tyrese in that moment? Like, it felt like he was in the middle of a stand-up set that was bombing. And he literally does like, look at this girl's hair. She must have taken all the products from the bathroom. It's like, that's the hack of shit that I fall on, too.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I'm like, what's up with the lights in this place, huh? What kind of stupid college is this? But I was like, what's up with the lights in this place, huh? What kind of stupid college is this? But I was like, what was the direction on this? Because we could have said, alright, extras, laugh at him. Let's make this seem good. Laugh at him. React in some way.
Starting point is 00:31:37 T-Pain is in this scene and he doesn't have a fucking, he's barely on camera. He's just there for a hot second to be like, I'm in a Fast and Furious movie. Just be entertained by him, that all that's all and you can tell like like from uh uh uh from ludacris's reactions to him that he didn't know what was going all these they just gave him the lines he's like he he didn't just did he yeah oh no not he's really doing. He doesn't know what he's actually doing. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:32:07 On the day, Tyrese will riff and everyone's like, really? Okay. Even Tyrese was like, really? Oh, all right. My God. And then, okay. I'll prepare some notes. So, Liddy finds this thing in the bed.
Starting point is 00:32:25 I was like, wait, what is that? Is that that's like part of the eyes of God or God's eye? Oh, she's hacked. They're hacking into the security in the bedroom, which is so wild that it's like next to the bed. Yeah, it's weird that it's like in the wall of it works out perfectly. That also Tej knows where all of that is in his first trip to abu dhabi and just a reminder for everyone tej was owning a mechanic shop in too fast too furious and is now the second best hacker in the world because the best hacker in the world was introduced in his movie yep as a last movie he was the best hacker in the world this one we learned there's a hotter
Starting point is 00:33:06 better hacker out there and luda is hot as fuck i gotta say i love that they're both people of color at the best of their game hacking into things dude every like these these movies do such a good job of like everyone they interact with is either a person of color or like a stunt casted white, like Kurt Russell, an eighties movie legend, Ronda Rousey, an MMA fighter.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Like they're just like, yeah, it's all we're, we're doing balls to the wall and everything. Casting stunts music. What did Rhonda say? She was like, these parties are not fun.
Starting point is 00:33:40 She was like, I'm glad you showed up. These parties bore me to death it did sound like when you ask final draft to just read i'm glad you showed up yeah exactly oh god but that fight man i really so they were talking about doing a lady spinoff i want them to do it like how fucking badass i would i'm here for that i right i worked on a project with ronda rousey she was very this was later on in her career she was able to pull off jokes that we fed her
Starting point is 00:34:18 but i'm telling this story solely to say i hugged her at the end of the shoot and it was fucking amazing her back is her back and traps are so developed i was just like hugged her at the end of the shoot and it was fucking amazing. Her back and traps are so developed. I was just like hugged her and I was like whoa this is amazing. I was like just kill me. Crush me. Please snap my fucking wrist. It is nice to touch people who are muscular especially
Starting point is 00:34:37 when you're a doughy person. You know? Because you're like I didn't know people could be like that. You're rock hard and so am I for different reasons. Gabrus, why are you hugging Ronda Rousey with your ass sticking out so much? I demonstrated why. Yes, and podcasting is an audio medium,
Starting point is 00:35:00 so no one will ever know what you did. I'll describe. Pull it out closer to the camera. I'll describe it. What are you asking, Sam? Let me see so I can say. So then they're back at this weird fucking place. I guess it's Mr. Nobody's house.
Starting point is 00:35:17 And then a bunch of people come and then there's a shootout. Oh, yeah. Wait, they go to Statham's hideout which is like i love when they find them using the god's eye yes paul walker's like oil oil factory perfect nobody around it's like he's in the factory in the middle of a desert it's like this is here's my other big complaint with the movie they destroy everywhere they go in these movies right
Starting point is 00:35:47 like in 6 they destroy that bridge in Spain they destroy everything why in the fuck would you bring them to the most populated city your hometown to fight them I'd be like let's take them to the desert so there's no other casualties it's like no but we know the streets of LA better if I'm in
Starting point is 00:36:03 Dom's crew I go we do fine everywhere, bro. Exactly. We're all still here. But they want to go home. They're a little homesick. Oh, did we talk about Race Wars? I forgot about that. No, let's go into the poorly named.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Yes. Race Wars. So they bring, Dom brings Letty to Race Wars, i guess to like jog her memory so then he like teach he like tells her how to race and she's like it's not what i do and he's like you want to win so then she does what he says she wins everyone gets so excited and then she punches hector who's from the first one and i was like oh i love i love bringing hector back i love putting him in a set piece that like i know him from racing um but she like gets overwhelmed and then like leaves dom for a little bit but then like comes back she's still
Starting point is 00:36:52 processing her amnesia hey did you recognize oh yeah god they really chumped out hector real bad i know punch in the mouth he's got a mouthful of blood. He's like, oh. Hey, yo. You okay? And Dom just says, yeah, you never could take a punch. You gotta say, she's dealing with some stuff, man. Like, just be honest. She's got amnesia, bro. And then Iggy Isaiah's like, where have you been, ghost girl? Oh, man. And everyone chants ghost girl at her after she won.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I was like, you can't taunt the winner. Exactly. ghost girl in her after she won? I was like, you can't taunt the winner. Did you recognize the hot, tatted up Asian woman who started the, she's your former girl, she was a Guy Code star, Levi Trent. She was on that show. I was like, why do I know this woman? And she has
Starting point is 00:37:40 no lines, she just does this. But they always stunt cast the person, I think it was rita aura in six when they win the races she's the british woman who calls them out there's always stunt casting and i'm like oh that's i think her name is levi tran who is the she was on guy code or girl code she's very pretty they put her in a skirt that was too short it was underwear it was underwear that's the fast and the Furious sexiness Is undies We're gonna see the bottoms of butt cheeks
Starting point is 00:38:07 And some cleavage There's not even like This is crazy for me to say But there's not even like big boobs in these movies It's just like Dancer types It's just from the waist down A kind of flat ass
Starting point is 00:38:22 Every one of these movies features Steel drums and a close up of a flat ass. This movie, every one of these movies features like steel drums and a close up of a flat ass sashaying through insert the Central American country. Why don't we get juicy booties? Why aren't we being rewarded? Yeah, exactly. We came to see it.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Give me a reward. Why can we show the most insane violence in the streets of Los Angeles, but we can't see a little nipple. Come on. No, we can't see a juicy.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Do we see some nipple in Abu Dhabi when those ladies were painted gold or do they frame them just out that you just saw that they were naked, but you didn't see anything good. Ooh, I didn't notice. And I have quite the eye for nipples. and I have quite the eye for nipples. They're like... I have rocked erotic mega touch
Starting point is 00:39:08 in every townie bar I've ever been to. Yeah, you and me both, buddy. I could find an errant bra strap or a mismatched areolas. I got you. Mismatched areolas. It's a double strap on that underwear. That was always the lowest stakes thing ever too
Starting point is 00:39:27 When you were trying to find the last thing And you're like oh she's got lace on one stocking And not the other Shit I can't believe I lost on that Give me another dollar I used my clue on that So back to the plot Mr. Nobody
Starting point is 00:39:45 he puts on like blu-ray goggles I don't know he puts on blu-ray goggles so he can watch blu-rays up close he's like shoot what's night vision goggles my bad I think x-ray is the word you meant to say but what he is using is night vision
Starting point is 00:40:00 night vision puts on blu-ray goggles and his playstation helmet he starts walking around but he gets he gets shot and then dom clocks it and then he winks at dom before falling down and i was like what is that about the whole sequence makes no sense they have deckard shaw they're like all right right, pal. And he's like, I have a grenade. It's like, shoot the fucking guy. Yeah, shoot him right in the fucking head. Prepare for a grenade. He's a terrorist. You're
Starting point is 00:40:32 an amazing. You're the international organization protecting the world from terrorism. Shoot the fucking guy right when you walk in. Exactly. Oh, wait. Also, we're introduced to this in the beginning to fucking hobbs's daughter and i was like why do we care yeah so he can have somebody to talk to in the hospital yeah that's
Starting point is 00:40:52 i guess well i i guarantee that was something to be like the rock was like i need family in this movie series too a lot of family and i don't have any family. Yeah, I tell you some bitch, I need some family in this movie. I'm going to get some Terramana and a cheat meal. You listen up, brother. I don't like when he says some bitch. It's weird to me. I don't like when he says
Starting point is 00:41:18 a lot of things, that guy. I don't like when he says, what are you doing in my yard again? Didn't the cops already talk to you? I hate when he says, what are you doing in my yard again? Didn't we, didn't the cops already talk to you? You know, like I hate when he says that shit. Stop taking photographs of me in the shower. All that classic bullshit.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Yeah. Gabriel, stop getting in his yard. Stop taking pictures. There's a fun video of The Rock, like driving past a, like Los Angeles tour group. And then he rolls down his window and he's like, where's The Rock driving past a Los Angeles tour group. And then he rolls down his window and he's like, where's The Rock?
Starting point is 00:41:48 And everyone's like, ah! And he's like, I love giving back to fans. And I was like, this is, yes! Giving back. Letting them gaze upon me as I give you the gift of the sight of my hairless, flawless body. Boy, it was very funny there was this like one woman in glasses who was like bugging the fuck out um but anyway they return back to los angeles where dom plans to fight deckard solo brian promises mia he's gonna dedicate himself to their family after he defeats these bad guys which is so funny that it's like i just need one more
Starting point is 00:42:26 near-death experience to be a good father i i gotta say this movie over it's such a trope to be like i'm struggling between being a family man and a total alpha badass like that's such a trope in all these movies of like my wife's harping on me but i'm the only one who can figure out who the last boy scout is or whatever but in this in this movie mia keeps put i think it's just interesting writing that me is like no i need you protecting my brother dom out there risk your fucking life okay like i do it's like a strange angle but i enjoy it that the wife's like get out of the the house. Go with your friends. Have fun. Also, were they all living at 1327? Were they all living in that house in Los Angeles? Because they're all still billionaires from Fast Five.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Right. So I'm like, why didn't we buy a better house? Why didn't we live somewhere else? And you know those neighbors are like, fuck. These people again. Yeah, the house just blew up. Oh my God. These fucking people come back.
Starting point is 00:43:32 They move in like, you know, like racist redlining neighbors. Like they move in. They bring 40 of their fucking family members, all different races. Next thing you know, the whole neighborhood's exploding. 15 years ago, three Asian guys on motorcycles sprayed up this place with machine guns. That was in Fast 2, neighbor. It's different now.
Starting point is 00:43:52 We're different now. We have money now. So, Jakonde, I think that's how we say his name. Dijmon, how do I say his real name? Dijmon Honsu. Dijmon? Dijmon. Dijmon how do I say his real name Dijmon Dijmon I fucking love him I guess his name would be Jakande based on how it's written
Starting point is 00:44:11 so Jakande he's like trying to get God's eye Ramsey's trying to hack into it Hobbes finds out about it wait Hobbes we get a cool Hobbes moment I don't care how dumb it is. Yeah, this is fun. Him flexing
Starting point is 00:44:28 through a cast. Kind of rules. It was very fun. I almost wanted it to be like a full body cast so we could just watch and like... I agree. It kind of reminded me of Forrest Gump when Forrest Gump is running through his crutches
Starting point is 00:44:43 or like his little braces. Leg braces? Yeah. Just poorly. reminded me of Forrest Gump when Forrest Gump is running through his crutches or like his little braces. Yeah. Just poorly. They aren't bracing anything. That cast wasn't holding anything. That's all fine. But then he like gears up and he's got all this gear in the hospital room. Yeah, he's got a gun, his bulletproof vest next
Starting point is 00:45:00 to his daughter's coloring books or something. Get CPS in there. It's that. And then Hobbes has, do you, okay, when I grew up, I had like a central vacuum system, right? Like it was a hose that you plugged into the wall. I've seen that.
Starting point is 00:45:19 He has like a gun version of that. Like where the fuck is this tube going? There's like this insane tube that's tied to this machine gun that he's just like fucking spraying bullets out of. Oh, when he, when he takes the drones chain gun off the drone. Okay. So just to run,
Starting point is 00:45:37 cause this sequence is so fun all through LA. We got a G-man, Digimon Hanzo screaming his fucking head off helicopter. He's not the main bad guy. This is what i love about fast and furious like it's such a big movie that hansu is like the second banana guy like he's an insanely big great actor and it's like shaw's the real bad guy and it's like the rock is one of the biggest celebrities of all time It's like but Toretto's the real hero How many people do we need for this movie I'm here for it But The Rock stops a drone
Starting point is 00:46:10 By driving an ambulance off a cliff He's a driving expert Also He walks over Ices the drone like gives it a coup de grace Cranks the fucking belt fed Chain gun off of it and then Is walking down the streets of
Starting point is 00:46:26 downtown la spraying it out and i i said this in the last episode but i think this movie uses uh hobbs the best in that he's yes instigator to start the mission he's barely around and then he gets one he gets a cool fight and a cool gun sequence and then he's out because yes sitting with the other characters a lot in this movie made me because i used to really like six because there's so much hand to hand but watching this movie again back to back with six i like the less rock and the more fair and of course the emotional stuff of all the paul walker shit of all the brian shit that and keeping hobbs out of the emotional shit is such a smart move, too, because who gives a fuck? I think so, too, because also like Deckard, he says very little, but is also like on the same level of emotion as I think Dom is.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Yeah. So like for me, I feel like they're more evenly matched as foes than Hobbes is with Dom. But I agree. I think he's in the perfect amount because he's like hurt starts the mission comes has a real badass fucking moment and yeah it's delightful it's a real treat everyone gets their
Starting point is 00:47:33 badass moments so let's talk them through in this last set piece we get to do the passing the people back and forth through cars like Josie doing two-ing two speeding cars and passing a woman who does not know how to drive, like is not
Starting point is 00:47:49 a car person, passing her through windows as you pass They're like, we're playing Keep Away with Ramsey and everyone's like perfect plan Wait, who is this actress? She is so She's from Nathalie? She's from Game of Thrones Game she is so she's from nathalie she's from game of thrones game of
Starting point is 00:48:08 thrones she's uh she's the not melisandre the other uh calise yeah she's calise's right hand woman who does like all the translations for and yeah i think i talked about this earlier too but that's that's indicative of vin's power he He's like, hey, Game of Thrones is a huge show. There's a hot person that's ethnically ambiguous on that. Put them in our movie. Bring them on. It's just like they're immediately in. I love that.
Starting point is 00:48:36 She's in the rest of the movies. She's just added in this movie as like a rip a hood off of her and they're like, whoa, you're a smoke show. It's like great you're gonna make millions of dollars now come with us she's so fucking pretty it's a little upsetting so this whole it's awkward when they call dibs on her that's an awkward they call it out for a second but then they they're like, Oh, okay. Are they going to be aware of this? But no, they just go deeper into it.
Starting point is 00:49:09 They just call it. You just call it. He goes, he's like, I thought dibs. You just called dibs. Like you're in, like you're in third grade. And I was like, okay, now here comes the point where like, yeah, she's a, she's a woman and she's an autonomous. Like, like, no, uh, I saw her first. No, me. Me. It's like's like oh yeah her friend goes you cannot call dibs on ramsey i did that once and her knee met my testicles and you're like wait you're also a piece of shit i mean i i i would like to call dibs on ramsey she's so pretty. Objectively. Yeah. She's absolute smoke. Just so factually pretty in that,
Starting point is 00:49:49 in the triple building sequence. I want to just call out. Tej gets a dope hand to hand moment where he gets to pretend to be scared for a second. And then he's just like, Oh yeah. And you think that the Ramsey Roman Tej, like who,
Starting point is 00:50:04 who does she into is going to kick off or that was the selling point. But as someone who's seen the rest of the movies, it's still like nothing has happened. And I love it. I still, they both still like her. But I like that she doesn't choose one. I like that she's just Ramsey. She loves a computer, not a man.
Starting point is 00:50:28 She never, well, she's never really driven. We'll find that out in a couple of movies though. Ooh, she gets to drive. Interesting. Everyone eventually drives in the fast track.
Starting point is 00:50:36 You're right. You are absolutely right. Everyone at some point will, like even Mia gets behind the wheel and knows immediately how to fucking drive and drift and whatever. They give Mia like a different superpower every movie where they're like, she's good at languages. So she listens on the radio. It's like she's kind of good with computers. So she hacks in with them.
Starting point is 00:50:58 She can also drive. So she drives in this sequence. It's like they never know how to fit her in as like a pregnant woman. so she drives in this sequence it's like they never know how to fit her in as like a pregnant woman wait also they go hide out at some random man's house that you never see again yeah yeah and this is so random they're just like enough like all right why doesn't shaw go after these this family they're like okay we put her in they put the family in some very safe place yeah protected with guns so you don't have to worry about where they are while the movie's They're like, okay, we put her in, they put the family in some very safe place. Yeah. Protected with guns so you don't have to worry about where they are while the movie's happening.
Starting point is 00:51:29 And then there's a phone call where he's like, I picked him up from the airport. And you're like, what? Okay. Yeah, he's like the prime minister of Dominican Republic or something like that. The way they have it set up where it's like, what the fuck is this guy? He's got like his own private army. And he's allegedly the guy who got Dom the safe in Rio. He says on the phone, he's like, get Dom the safe in Rio is harder than this.
Starting point is 00:51:52 And you're like, oh, I thought Han got the safe for Tej. Okay. I thought Tej got it, but maybe Tej called him and then he got it. They all know each other from three other movies. Everyone's had a life. Fast 11, 12 and 13 actually take place in between two and four. They just haven't been filmed yet. We're going to keep getting off the table.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Me. I'll get filmed, you know. So Dom fights Deckard on the top of the parking garage after he fucking wheelies up on his car they're like hand to hand fighting fucking dom is swinging this this man this person around like he's a rag doll and then there's like a something happened there's like an explosion the crack happens and then dom goes the thing about street fighting is the street wins and then and then it does like a hulk stomp and breaks down a parking garage i screamed i screamed it was so wild an upgrade from lifting a car with his bare hands now he can just punch the floor of a parking structure and collapse it this whole sequence is so fun because
Starting point is 00:53:01 this something i love in action movies that isn't really ever in the fast franchise and as a fan of a team growing up this is part of it we got the getting ready montage for the first time where uh he saws off the shotgun he's like puts the bullet brian's puts the fbi vest on rips the fbi thing off like i just love seeing everyone gear up that's not something they do a lot in these movies. But he gears up the gun and everything and they fire two rounds at each other. It's like, alright, we're down to hand to hand. He does
Starting point is 00:53:32 all this prep work for weapons and the thing he brings to fight with is two wrenches. Two wrenches. That seems so unwieldy to have two. Exactly. And the wrench is his fucking thing. The wrench is what he She's so unwieldy to have two. Yeah, exactly. And the wrench is his fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:53:49 The wrench is what he went to jail for manslaughter and it's how he becomes a criminal and it's retconned in nine and all that. But it's just crazy that he's like two wrenches and then the Shaw ripped two windshield wiper blades off the car. Yeah. And then it charges one. I bet they were like just one
Starting point is 00:54:06 wrench and then like in the choreography was like you know I probably I need both these and then it was like well I'm not gonna not have a wrench I'll get this windshield wiper is off camera holding a wrench to contract
Starting point is 00:54:23 I also you some bitch off camera holding a wrench too, contractually. He's not even in the scene. He's like, you sumbitch, I also get a wrench. Okay, we have to take a break. This scene where Dom is like driving away from like the crashing fucking parking garage. The car flies again. It fucking flies. We got to say that this movie feature, these movies feature people eyeballing debris and saying, yep, that's a ramp like oh i get oh perfect like we always show the character in six it's when paul walker is gonna jump across it he sees like
Starting point is 00:55:14 a broken wall and he's like perfect this is like a collapsed parking garage like yep i'll be able to hit the helicopter so it looks like this charger is going to crash into the helicopter but it doesn't it just like grazes the bottom of it but what you don't see is dom put a backpack on the helicopter with a bag of grenades on it and i was like what how what is his plan possibly that he sees the ramp sees the bag of grenades and he's's like, I'm just going to start driving. And I think by the time I get there, I'll come up with an idea of how to get this. I know he lives his life one quarter mile at a time, and that is probably more than a quarter mile away. But it just seems so crazy to be like, worst case scenario, I just crashed this car with a big bag of grenades inside of it.
Starting point is 00:56:05 My plan B. It's nuts. You charge all those grenades in the bag. You have to take a second to go in and kind of push the buttons on each one. And then Hobbs knows there's a backpack filled
Starting point is 00:56:22 with grenades on the helicopter and shoots it. Hobbs knows there's a backpack filled with grenades on the helicopter and shoots it. Hobbs, who couldn't take down the helicopter previously with a chain gun, is able to fucking eyeball a knapsack full of grenades and be like, the only thing that's missing from this song, bitch, is a bullet. Drink that Terramano. Oh shit, I thought I was just shooting a backpack. My God.
Starting point is 00:56:45 And then Dom's car tumbles. This looks cool. It looks scary. The way the car falls is good. Yeah. It's wild. And he's unconscious. He's dead for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Is it kind of annoying that Paul Walker's last heroic act in this movie is plugging his phone into a tower the last thing the character gets to do in the entire franchise is charge his phone it's watching it this time i'm like oh man this is a bummer that this is how he goes i feel like they were faking a lot of that stuff because they put him so separate from what was going on, it feels like, because he might have already been gone at that point. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Yeah. Oh, his whole little side mission where Tony Jaa, who escapes from the bus, happens to be the guy that goes head-to-head with him again. Tony does such a good job of those flip kicks that look so cool. And then I just love that Brian O'Connor wins by just shoving him down the floor.
Starting point is 00:57:50 It's wild. Diesel gets that a lot, too. Shaw demonstrates insane hand-to-hand combat, and then Vin Diesel comes over and just grabs him by his shoulders and hucks him across the floor. That looks so fun, just to be able to throw karate guys around. That seems insane.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Yeah. The fighting, I will say it is catered to the, to the like expertise of the person. Like Vin Diesel is not agile. So Vin Diesel gets to just throw people around and throw his body around. His body gets thrown around so much and I love when he changes.
Starting point is 00:58:28 He changes into a very tight long sleeve white shirt. He only owns white shirts, white tank tops and black tank tops. And like for a mechanic, that seems odd. Yeah, you might get dirt. Oh, he does also own a blue button up that says Toretto, because he wears that.
Starting point is 00:58:46 He wears his work shirt 15 years after being like that. He's already been a prisoner, a criminal, a hero, a bank robber. He's like, I got to get back to fixing up people's cars. You know, Byer, that's a great call, because I think a good example in this movie of they cater the choreography to the actor or the character is Hobbes versus Shaw in that opening sequence. Shaw's doing like the knee kicks
Starting point is 00:59:14 and like all the cool like Krav Maga short, and then The Rock does a rock bottom. He does the actual rock bottom. Slamming him into coffee tables. When I saw that in the theater, people went ape shit when he does the real, which is, Nicole, no, no, that's his WWE wrestling move. Oh, I didn't know that. Where he puts Statham through the table.
Starting point is 00:59:34 That was his old finishing move. The rock bottom, the people's champ told you so. And he just fucking does it and you're like, whoa. Rock bottom, rock bottom. We have a reference to rock bottom in detroiters and tim's stepdad gets beat up by his brother conor o'malley and he's like it's a good fucking cool ass move it's wild i these later movies are very good theater movies like i took sashir to go see hobbs and shaw she didn't know anything she had never seen a fast and furious movie and she was like that was
Starting point is 01:00:10 fucking fun and i was like yeah they're all fun this is what i'm finding out now fast nine was like my first post pandemic movie theaters uh scene i went with like and i never i hadn't been to the theater in two years and i was like, oh, Fast 9's the perfect wait. And I go and sit down, I'm sitting with Tiff and I'm like, are you so hyped? She goes, I've never seen any of these movies. I was like, I should have asked you a little earlier.
Starting point is 01:00:36 We've been together for 20 years. I've been in my office watching these movies fucking daily. But honestly, you don't really need to know anything for any of these movies. It's a fucking theme park. Yes, you actually can. daily but honestly you don't really need to know anything you don't have any movies yes you actually can if you watch it without knowing anything about it you get a certain base level of enjoyment and then someone throws in the whole that's actually his brother and you're like i love that shit because like also like some some of like the the timeline stuff is then
Starting point is 01:01:02 missing from us you're not like we're like wait a minute, is this person's necklace, you know what I mean? All that's missing from it. You're just like, oh, shit, he's shooting that Gatling gun off the thing. Oh, I like that part, too, where it's like, and who's that? It's like, oh, you haven't met Hobbes yet, and you think it's going to be like a good line or something, and Letty just goes, that's Hobbes. You can say any line here.
Starting point is 01:01:28 You're Letty. Your character is super tough and ambiguous. We could have a joke. It could be real. It could be like, that's the Calvary, whatever. No, it's just Hobbes. That's Hobbes. That's his name.
Starting point is 01:01:38 All right. Very good. Well, thank you. I'm Ramsey. Pleasure. Let's keep the God's eye happening or whatever. So Hobbs arrests Deckard Shaw and locks him away in a remote high security prison, which seems like overkill.
Starting point is 01:01:54 It's kind of wild. He was like, all of this. He was like, yeah, because it's going to keep this will kill you before I kill you or something. And I was like, all right, the rock needs a nap. this will kill you before I kill you or something. And I was like, all right, the rock needs a nap. And you know,
Starting point is 01:02:06 as someone who's seen Hobbs and Shaw, that they become friends eventually. Which is insane. I haven't seen it yet. Honestly, it's pretty wild, but like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:02:17 there's a lot of like gay jokes in it. If I remember correctly. Yeah. There's a lot of like misogynistic sort of like feminine is bad kind of yeah yeah and i was like this 2021 or whenever it 2019 like come on guys it's okay your family and dom says family's good so tom and the crew are relaxing on a tropical beach because after all their big missions they either have to have a barbecue or sit somewhere and uh this got me they're all watching brian and mia play with the
Starting point is 01:02:52 baby jack knowing that mia is pregnant with brian's kid knowing that brian is not gonna come back for the next movie this got me i was like boy oh boy when he goes roman shut your mouth for a second and just look yeah i was like that felt like the realest shit like when you're like when i was like boy oh boy when he goes roman shut your mouth for a second and just look yeah i was like that felt like the realest shit like when you're like when i was a kid and my dad be like knock it off and pay attention to what this guy's saying it's actually fucking cool and you're like oh shit and in that in that moment you're like you quiet up and you're like fuck that's so heavy and then it's like you're just gonna leave to leave without saying goodbye. Oh, boy. And a wife eater in white cabri pants, as always. Well, this one, he's wearing a light blue shirt.
Starting point is 01:03:29 I clocked that. I was like, oh, he's wearing a color now. But boy, oh, boy. And then when they, you know, go through all the memories and you see young Brian, I was like, it really fucking got me. Yeah, it's really incredibly touching. Like, it really fucking got me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:44 It's really incredibly touching. It also shows you how many people he's been in scenes with because the cast of these movies change so wildly. And it's like, holy shit. Yeah, he did that with him. You did that with him. Yeah, Paul Walker. You could fucking hang. You're just like, I thought you were the pretty face in this movie, but I'm realizing now you're the fucking glue. in this movie but i'm realizing now you're the fucking glue like you're like even he he exists still in the movies after his death you know what i mean like he's referenced in a way that i think
Starting point is 01:04:13 is just like a way you don't see it done in movies at all where it's like we know the actor's dead we're never going to replace him with someone else or anything like that but we're just keep saying like at least him and mia are off safe somewhere together you know what i mean or like yeah it's fucking cool man they do it really is and then you find out how close vin and paul were in real life and you don't realize like vin's daughter's name is paula after paul like this is like such fucking they're really good friends and the movie is a very good tribute to him it is a good tribute it is like a really good send-off but like truly when he was in that supra i like lost it i was like oh boy it's an ode to the first movie it's the 10 second car he's gonna ride to heaven and they've been having that debate via jack the kid of american muscle versus uh import speed like
Starting point is 01:05:02 they get that they kept that argument up via the child, which is kind of intriguing. And then just, oh, fucking, it hits you really hard watching this. Yeah, it's really sad. It really sucks. Like when Jen D'Angelo in the Fast Five episode mentions she walked down the aisle to see you again,
Starting point is 01:05:19 when she told, they had a Fast Five themed wedding. Oh my God, that's right. Oh, that's right. Oh my god. That's right. Oh, that's right. Oh my god. And when she said that, I was like, fuck, I would have been bawling at your wedding and people would have been like, wow, I didn't know Gabrus was that good of friends with Jen D'Angelo.
Starting point is 01:05:36 No, he just loves Paul Walker. So this movie has 82% certified fresh on Rotten uh the budget was 190 million and it grossed 1.5 billion dollars internationally god holy shit god keeps growing they like doubled the score of the last movie nuts That's fucking nuts. Good God. That's so much money. That's so much fucking money.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Wow. That's a defense contract. So this is the fastest movie to gross over $1 billion. Yeah, the fastest movie to gross over $1 billion. It surpassed Avatar. Damn. Avatar 2 needs to come out. Where the fuck's Avatar 2?
Starting point is 01:06:23 Where's that squeakle? Where's that squeakle? Oh, wow. So the Toyota Supra that Brian drives at the end of the movie actually belonged to Paul Walker. Oh, fuck. That's so cool. Yeah, he probably bought that with his too fast money. He's like, I should have all the cars I drive in these movies. I should own them. I'm rich as fuck. I might as well be buying all these cars. own them right yeah i'm rich as fuck i might as well be buying all these cars exactly wait a minute this is the first sequel in the series to take place chronologically after tokyo drift no it's not i think that's the idea right yeah is that it's supposed to be like tokyo drift oh yes my bad i'm yes okay now my head's on straight that was really hard for me to wrap my head around for
Starting point is 01:07:02 a couple seconds it's just because what's his name is so old and it doesn't look like it looks like it's 15 years lucas black is like he hasn't acted for like the 14 years in between fast three and this too yeah i had two failed uh drama hour-long dramas um the majority of the rock stunts were performed by i'm going to butcher this name to tanoa to noah reed who is his uh body double and cousin yeah cousin sorry sorry to ruin that no you didn't ruin anything you just know some trivia i tried that that that makes sense too because we know that uh the rock and Diesel, their beef is escalating in this one. Like they're having so they're like The Rock's like, fuck this.
Starting point is 01:07:50 I'll send my stunt double to do everything. I'm not going to break my leg for this Vin Diesel asshole. I'll let my cousin fuck. Overall, I mean, this is a fun movie. uh overall i mean this is a fun movie i do think it is a little too long with some storylines that like could have been truncated but it's like a good send-off for paul walker and his involvement in the franchise and it continues the pattern that starts in six in that weirdly named like mcguffin evil apps and programs are the thing that they're trying to stop it's literally in six seven eight and nine are just like they have the thing that can be bad and it's
Starting point is 01:08:33 like we can't let them get that thing it's like well that thing is in a car and it's like all right i mean i just love that the bad guys are always putting shit in cars. Wait, who had God's eye? Not Shaw. Was it? Did you fucking? No, Ramsey had sent it to her friend in Abu Dhabi who put it in the car. And he sold the car.
Starting point is 01:09:00 But then the guy brings, this is the part of the movie that drives me crazy too. Mr. Nobody's right hand man is kind of the movie that drives me crazy too. Mr. Nobody's right-hand man is kind of the annoying Proctor Police Academy character. Why does he bring the God's Eye into the mission with him? They know where he is. It's like he's got it in his hand and he dies and it falls. And Shaw's like, it's right there.
Starting point is 01:09:19 And Jee Man Hansu's like, perfect. And it's like, wait, why do we have this in the room? We get shit at the base. Have someone call in where he is. I don't think you need to like have the fucking USB stick with you. Yeah. Even just fix it by being like, oh,
Starting point is 01:09:34 I forgot I had this. As he's getting shot. Oh, fuck, I'm still holding this. I'm still holding this. Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Oh, why do I have this? I'm sorry. It is rather wild. Yeah, this, I'm so sorry. Oh, why do I have this? I'm sorry. It is rather wild. Yeah, this, I liked it though. It's good. I'm excited for Fast. Like, I'm very excited to see more of this.
Starting point is 01:09:55 Or F8, I think, is next. Fate of the Furious. Oh, Fate. Oh, I'm sorry. Fate of the Furious. Which F8 is Fate. Can't leave anything on the table. If you have a table, don't leave anything on it.
Starting point is 01:10:06 That's not what I'm going to do. People just keep going up to Vin Diesel going, hey, what's the future of the franchise? Is it this? And he's like, hey, I'm not saying it's not. It's like, he's a genius businessman. He's like, it'll be whatever the fuck it needs to be. If I keep making a billion dollars a movie,
Starting point is 01:10:22 Universal is going to keep me fed. Sam, do you have anything to plug since we're at the end um you know uh tomorrow war on amazon uh werewolves within uh available on itunes or amazon and all these sort of things fun movies movies, good times, watch Detroiters. I gotta say, I mean, I love the Detroiters, I love Champagne Hill, but I was saying to you off mic before, you're so good in the Tomorrow War, which is, if you're liking
Starting point is 01:10:56 the Fast and Furious movies, I think you'll like Tomorrow War because it's a big ensemble movie that has so much shit going on in it that you're like, I'm not positive i'm following everything but i'm i like everybody and i want pratt to live and then sam is so fucking funny in it and he's like and that's what happens if you have comic relief that isn't a former ralph lauren model but an actual trained comic actress you heard her here first is coming for tyrese
Starting point is 01:11:22 oh no tyrese can have whatever he wants to have I cannot stop watching the man but I am a comedy writer and I can make notes about that Sam you are good in what is it called Tomorrow War Tomorrow War yeah I did watch it it was good those little creatures
