And we're live, by which I mean we're recording.
Hey Guy Montgomery.
Hello Tim Batt.
Here we are, separated by time and distance.
Not really by time actually, we're existing at the same time.
We're separated by time with our listener
because we're recording this in the past,
and we're separated by distance from each other.
But what unites us is F9, the Fast Saga,
which it is sometimes referred to on DVD and Blu-ray box sets,
but often simply F9.
Hi.
Hi.
It's great to to share it's great to share this moment with you
tim and it's great to have an opportunity to reflect on my latest uh journey and the latest
installment in uh the fast nine saga the fast eight you could call it, I suppose, or fast 98 or 9.8 or the eighth screening of F9.
I had it for breakfast.
And that is, I would say, not an optimal serving time. to use sort of food as an analogy, it felt a lot like getting out of bed
specifically to order a cheeseburger from Denny's.
And it's too early
and it's not like a super high quality meal.
And even as I ordered it,
I knew it wasn't what I wanted.
I've had some pretty up and down screenings.
This felt familiar. it wasn't what i wanted i've had some pretty up and down screenings this felt uh familiar
this felt sort of quite old-fashioned if i could refer to previous installments of the worst idea
of all time this felt like an old-fashioned movie screening and not importantly an old-fashioned
which would be quite nice that's right although if you were to order an old-fashioned at denny i i
think it would probably have syrup in it yeah um i i found myself wishing ill upon the characters
in the movie um sort of a lot of your hallmarks of a worst idea screening sort of um willing
characters to make different decisions yeah uh and And then quite a long period of just resignation,
just sort of like, I suppose, going within myself
and letting the parts of the movie I weren't enjoying
just wash over and around me.
To the movie's eyes, I'd like to think it didn't appear like it
was impacting me in a negative way but i i knew it was i was trying to put on a brave face you know
oh boy oh guy i'm sorry to hear that i think the burger at denny's for breakfast is such a perfect
analogy and i kind of think there's some crossover between the people who would order that
and the people who get fucking jazzed up for F9
on multiple screenings.
Look, do you know, I think historically,
you know, we have been the people
who get jazzed up for F9.
Eight screenings ago,
I was that person.
Very unique case.
It's a different kind of
revved up
you know
it's a special
unique
worst idea branded kind
could you tell me a little bit about
your screening itself though
like were you
was it solo
were we headphones
were we laptop
were we TV
they're all
they're all good and fair questions
solo
I got out of bed
can I just say sorry to interrupt immediately but
i like that i like that you did it so i did it solo too and it felt like um felt like carrying
the cross up the hill on my back no um there's no world in which anyone was going to watch this
with me i got close who was going to watch it with you i was with some
some friends and whanau and uh floated the balloon would anyone like to watch f9 with me as i
need to do that this evening and there was some some interest some hubbub while the cricket was on
um and then when it came time to actually pull the trigger, any enthusiasm or possibility of it happening dissipated immediately.
Oh, wow.
But you're telling me we're talking about a night screening, deserves a backlit screen.
Oh, two-parter.
It was a two-parter.
I started watching at, I think, 9.30 p.m., which is early.
I usually sort of go to bed around midnight
or a little bit after.
But I started watching and my eyes got very heavy.
And around 11 p.m., I was like, I can't have stuns no more.
So I shut the laptop down, rested my weary head,
and then got up bright and early to do part two.
What do you think about that two what do you think about that
what do you think about the the contrasting strategies to watching this film because to me
going to bed knowing i had more um homework to wake up to i don't think i could enjoy that sleep
yeah um no it's all right it's fine i um i think i remember doing this quite a lot with
sex and city too i think of doing the two-parter when you were because were you was that when you
were living in new york that was sex in the city oh that was sex in the city right maybe it was
that one it was when we were separated a lot and i would i'd have to bust it into chunks because it's just a bit too big to do in
one sitting much like a hamburger at denny's for breakfast you want to split it up saying
no you don't this is the thing you you want to finish it all in one sitting and even if you
don't eat the whole thing you want to look at the plate and say i gave it my best one thing you don't
want to do with the cheeseburger from denny's for breakfast is eat two thirds of it
and then doggy bag the last third
and like have it a meal later.
That sounds terrible.
Temperature is so important
to the ability to enjoy this meal.
And momentum.
Yeah.
You need to get a run on and keep going
and then end it.
You can't pause.
You can't pause long enough to think about what you're doing.
I interrupted you, though, for which I apologize.
No, no.
You're watching in a laptop.
Have you got your nice headphones in?
You got your Sonys on?
No.
So I wake and I slide out of bed in the bedroom,
careful not to wake my sleeping Chelsea.
And then I quietly take my laptop and I just, you know, I go into a different room.
I open it up and it's a no fuss, no nonsense affair.
I launch into it, laptop speakers, there's no trimmings, there's nothing special.
About an hour into the movie i
had a piece of toast and made a coffee uh it was really bare bones grassroots um sort of getting
out in the community hands in the dirt style yeah fast nine watching uh it was it wasn't garish it was not um not done in such a way that i could you know i i did nothing to
elevate my own experience it was it was a real there's a real dignity to that i think
you know you got down in the in the dirt and you were doing things by hand there was no accoutrement there was nothing to
make life easier for you you just got in there and did the work that needed to be done
on from memory a 13 inch macbook air from 2015 that overheats pretty easily these days if memory
serves yeah it really does and the battery runs right
out the the computer was fully charged uh by the end of the screening i think i was down to 18
oh that's kind of nice that at times it got you through you know they should start measuring they
should start measuring laptop batteries in what film or franchise it could get you through you know
like if you've got a big booty gaming laptop that draws a lot of power it's like you could
you could watch the entire fast and the furious franchise you could or no because it would it
would be like you could watch grown-ups too it'll get you to the end of that um or you could have a
big battery on like just a little office machine that doesn't draw a
lot of power a little low power job and it's like you could watch the first three fast and furious
movies on one battery or maybe you've got a middle a middle laptop and it's like this this one will
get you through a screening of sex in the city 2 woe to go i like that i like would you going into the apple store being like hey this little cute one the the iphone ec
how many times would you say i could watch sex in the city
if it was fully charged up yeah i thought i thought i was at the genius part why can't
you answer me that yeah come on man run the numbers do the maths do the math for me please
that's what i'm paying you for genius look i i like because i agree battery life is sort of
especially you know on the box they'll tell you that this electronics consumable lasts for this long.
And I'd say a month after that, the number's no longer relevant
and it all becomes a lot more relative.
What does that mean?
There's numbers on a page, you know, oh, it lasts for two hours.
Oh, the battery lasts for six hours.
That doesn't mean anything to me.
It lasts for, we are your your friends twice on one charge.
Okay.
Thank you for putting this technical jargon of ours
into a frame of reference that actually means something to my life.
Something that I can understand.
I also like the, you know, you go into an electronics shop.
I don't really do that unless I'm in need of it.
Like, you know, this computer will die before I buy a new one.
You are in need of a laptop, by the way, but go on.
But you go into the shop and they say,
so what are you going to mostly use it for?
Is it, you know, is it like design?
Is it video editing?
Sorry, this laptop?
This laptop's got a very, very specific purpose.
And I would like you to tell me what model of mac is the best for watching the fast and the furious franchise in its entirety
if you're watching movies and tv i did not say tv shows i don't care what makes an hbo program pop
um how did so aside from the the circumstance and obviously tim you know you're um
you're tired you're waking up you're watching it again at breakfast
aside from you know the uh the timing of your watch how did the actual source materials find you and how did
you find it was it was a real journey this time like i was actually at the start of it last night
i was kind of into it um i was having a good time and i think there's something too and i remember
this with previous seasons doing the first watch with headphones on even though this is the eighth
watch in total i think this is the first time i've had headphones in because i believe this is probably the first time we've been separated right and
watching it yeah um away from each other so i had had the headphones in and there's just little
details that you catch for example i can now tell you that mr toretto's first name is jack
i heard that this time and there was a great line of dialogue, which if I may,
I'm going to actually earmark at this early stage as my shining light.
Of course.
Which was, I'd never heard it before. It was so nice. You know how I'm a big Otto guy.
I love Otto. He's like my favorite dude in the movie. So picture this. We're at what
I would describe as probably the start of act three um we're in the bit with the
beast that big long indestructible truck um that a lot of action happens inside of and
dom teredo explodes rides down a hill regains control of but before all that happens uh john
cena jacob teredo and otto are are in there. And they've launched the satellite.
We're uploading Project Ares into that satellite
to take over the world.
And then there's the double cross,
where Otto double crosses John Cena
when John Cena goes on the roof, has to fight the guy.
So John Cena says,
Hey, Otto, I've got to tell you something.
And I've never heard this before.
Otto goes, lay it on me, dude.
You like that?
Liked it a lot.
It was really quiet.
Lay it on me, dude.
Yeah, I don't think I've actually heard that, lay it on dude. And also, what John Cena then says still irritates me,
which is his sort of put-down as...
You're a spoiled rich prick and I'm going to kill you.
Yeah.
And then Otto's comeback irritates me too.
Oh, it's a great comeback.
He said, oh, I'm so sorry, no one ever told you.
Spoiled rich pricks run the world.
Yeah.
You like that?
Yeah, man.
It's a great button in an action movie.
You got to get into the mindset of like,
here's what we're here to do.
I think it's great.
No, it's just not satisfying.
There's no hard sounds.
There's no hard
sounds in any of the words there's no like oh this is interesting because i actually think his
he puts a lot in with his cadence that sells it for me no i'm sorry no one ever told you and then
he has a beat and then he goes and he slows it right down spoiled rich pricks beat run the world do they swear in this movie do the fast movies work
clean oh there's a i don't i was trying to think if there was a shit i i can't even off the top of
my head remember a shit there's no effing there's no effing there's no saying it's got an m on it
you know they're not letting anyone in.
You've got to be of a certain age.
And then they're not swearing.
I mean, it's not that swearing defines whether something is good or bad.
Because it's a family movie.
Yeah, it's about family.
And it's for family.
I think the movie, I think to sell the intensity of some of those higher octane moments and i think to really
sell the betrayal i need to hear a fuck it's such a fantastic word i like it when they put one in a
movie like this yeah they're like the the parents and the the um you know board that writes the
ratings board will let us have one so we've got to get that garnish and really pick our timing on when we're going to add it,
add it to the dish.
I just think spoiled rich kid is such a like, it's, it's to me, it's all of the sounds,
all of the consonant and vowel combinations are too, they're too soft.
They're meek.
Let me pitch something to you then um
what if instead of he said world it changes the the tone of it a little bit but he said
run this joint run this joint because you got a hard t it's it's no it's too but it's too much
for departure spoiled rich kids run the planet planet this is for some i'm going to captain
planet when you're putting it like that what about this it was like you're a sport rich kid and i'm
gonna kill you and he goes oh i'm so it's just saying oh i'm so sorry nobody told you he goes
um oh i'm so sorry did nobody tell you i don't give a fuck that's good that that's good
like love that that would be the perfect place for uh because he's a baddie so if the kids are
coming in with dad you know to the cineplex to watch this yeah you can you can get him to swear
because he's he's a paragon of bad behavior yeah Yeah, yeah. Bad people swear. And I actually, I wonder, you know,
it'll be interesting to trace the origins of swear words
in the Fast and the Furious franchise.
It sounds like a university level thesis,
but it's also interesting, you know,
because the buildup, the part where they're in the,
what do you call it again?
The big truck?
It's called the beast.
They refer to it as the Beast.
I actually really enjoyed John Cena's acting.
It was one of the high points for me today.
Jesus Christ.
When they launched the satellite,
I can't remember what he says.
The satellite's in low orbit,
and John Cena turns around and he says,
Begin.
I really liked that.
I thought that was really nice
hey can i tell you something that i really honed in on because you notice certain things when you're
watching solo especially when you got headphones in so when john cena has fuck what bit of the
movie is it has he done the switch over to be a good?
He's standing next to the.
I'm sorry, but this movie is kind of hard to follow.
I know that I've watched it eight times in like very recent memory, but it's still there's certain sequences of that. I rewound it on this watch because I mentally checked out a little bit and I was like, wait a minute.
Didn't the beast explode?
How's Vin Diesel driving the beast? And I was like, oh, and I rewound it. And I was like, wait a minute. Didn't the beast explode? How's Vin Diesel driving the beast?
And then I was like, oh, and I rewound it.
And I was like, oh yeah, of course, of course.
It exploded, like they flip it on its back and then they explode it.
And then he rides it down a hill, flips it back onto its wheels and starts driving it again.
But in my head, it doesn't make sense that anything could take that much damage and keep going but there's a bit where um jacob john cena is standing next to the uh oh
no it's dom this is why it doesn't make sense sorry it's dom so dom teredo is standing next to
um project aries the supercomputer thing that's uploading to the satellite system and he's just standing there while it's uploading
if he took it out at that point they're good they're done they don't need to risk um
tyrese and ludacris's life in the fiero pontiac with the rocket attached to it that's in
orbit over earth by driving through a satellite.
He could just take the computer out.
Is Ramsey there too?
They're all standing next to the computer.
Ramsey's there going, oh my God, it's uploading.
It's at 90%.
We've only got a few.
And she beams up to that.
They're on comms.
She's in the room with Dom.
She says to the guys, guys, we've only got a few seconds left.
she says to the guys guys we've only got a few seconds left and that's when they make the heroic decision to drive through the satellite but if dom just fucking reached in and grabbed the computer
and took it out of its little housing you know why he can't why because he can't unclench his fists
it's all canon that's so sad but But I respect what you're putting down there,
but he actually does reach in and grab it immediately
after they drive through the satellite.
He takes it out.
He could have done that at any point.
Mr. Bloody Plothole's over here, they call him.
I mean, look, to be fair to the movie,
there are some glass doors that open,
but I feel like he opened them.
Private Inspector Plothole reporting for duty, sir.
Just going over the movie with a magnifying glass.
What about this?
Another thing while I'm on my bullshit for F9.
Dude, we mentioned the continuity error last episode, right?
We got that on the record?
I honestly, I can't remember.
We were with the great Vinnie Bennett,
and he was pointing out his necklace dips in and out of his T-shirt
during the flashback fight scene with the man who killed his father.
It bears mentioning for two reasons.
Number one, it's a pretty obvious continuity error.
And two, we had missed it and we
watched this movie multiple times and that makes me think guy montgomery we're losing our fucking
edge dude oh come on man there's a lot to get your head around there's a lot to take on board
and to be fair we're working on a shorter runway this screening like you know do you know what was
interesting is that i know that i'm only watching this movie one more time and even so i still couldn't i couldn't celebrate that i still was
just doing the work of getting through the movie today um i'm sorry to hear that bro it's it's
really no trouble i actually there's a few moments that really jumped out like it's interesting to
think about the actors acting in this movie.
They were reporting for duty in their ninth Fast and the Furious film.
And yes, it's a good paycheck.
And for some of them, it's probably the main, you know,
cultural currency they still have.
But when there's a scene where it's like,
they all go to the Mr. Nobody's former secret hideout you know yeah and there it's the
sort of labyrinth tunnel and there's a lot of the movies actually set there and uh dom's sort of
trying to wave everyone off he's going whatever's happening um it's on you know it's on me he's
basically trying to say don't you guys don't worry about this i got it and then there's just like i
really read between the lines
of the performance from tyrese and ludicrous where tyrese is like whatever's on you is on us
and it just it's so and then ludicrous is something like let's get to work and it just felt so
unconvincing like if this was a relationship that would start a fight where he'd be like whatever's
on you is also on me yeah let's get to work and you'd be like look i don't want you to do this
if you don't want to do this yeah you're right it's like they started a whole fight for that
scene that then they gave up on writing like you know i just i i feel like they're like
yeah yeah well no yeah it's fine well um we can stick around and help out there's another moment
of that in the same location when so they're discussing what needs to happen to shut the project areas satellite down and mia no uh lady says we need
help because they're like we to pull this off we would have to go to space and uh tyrese is like
that's impossible this can't be done and lady says we need help and then dom says we'll do it ourselves and we need help it's like
the perfect scripted line to introduce another character like i thought we i didn't think i've
seen this movie seven times prior but that is the perfect opportunity to grab someone from like
i don't know too fast too, reinsert them into the franchise.
It's like, oh, blah, blah, blah is back
to help them with a rocket.
Yo, that's fucking cool.
But then Dob just like shoots the balloon out of the air
with a goddamn rifle.
We've got all the help.
By saying we'll do it ourselves.
And then they do.
Yeah, they do.
We've got all the help we need.
Like why open up the possibility of we need help at all?
From what I understand,
there's a cavalcade of featured players returning
or in my experience, appearing for the first time,
but I understand returning.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying.
Why open up the idea for audiences and cast members alike
if Vin Diesel is just going to say, no i got this where's the yes and yeah man these guys wouldn't cut it
at ucb um a few other things i want to talk about with you tim i want to hear him uh first things first, right up the top, they're at the barn and Vin Diesel's working on a tractor with his son, little B.
Yes, he is.
And just would love to see him spending more time in the tractor for a start.
But they get some uninvited visitors and says, are you expecting company?
And Michelle Driggs says, no, whatever.
And they say, little B bit just like we practiced and so he has to go into his little crawl space
yeah and hide in this little box it's like if if you're living off the grid and people are after
you yes and you've practiced this so you know that this is a circumstance that might eventuate
yes give the boy a proper panic room like if this is something you're rehearsing if this is a circumstance that might eventuate. Yes. Give the boy a proper panic room.
Like, if this is something you're rehearsing,
if this is something you are counting on happening,
why is his hideout a sort of, you know,
one metre by 50 centimetre hole in the ground?
I think that's a good point.
Yeah, you're right.
I was going to say because they wouldn't find him there,
but you could, because it's slightly subterranean.
It's just in the floor bit of the barn.
You could pad that out.
You could put a Nintendo in there for him or a chair or something.
Just make it something which isn't him literally cramped into a crawl space
listening to hear of his dad and stepmum are being murdered.
So what's the play?
If he goes in there, because I assume Dom Toretto's like,
and you don't come out until you hear my voice or something like that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Dude's going to get murdered.
He's like one of the most wanted men on earth,
this franchise has led us to believe at this point and uh then what is little b gonna do just starve in a hole
that's fucking horrible yeah did you see was it jodie foster that movie panic room
didn't see panic room but i think that is jodie foster give him a panic room
her and her daughter they have to like
go behind that bookshelf
and then they're in there
yeah I think so
and you can see everything
that's happening
she was in another one
Flight Plan
I don't even know
tell me about
tell me about Flight Plan man
I know nothing about it
I am
I'm trying to remember it
I remember being thrilled
and none of it staying with me.
But there's a terrorist on a flight
and she knows her way around the plane, I guess, from memory.
She's got to stop them.
Oh, Jodie Foster does.
Yeah.
Jodie Foster, she's a good thrilling actor.
Did you ever used to get her confused with... Julianne Moore.
No.
Who's the one from Mad About You?
Oh, Helen Hunt?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't you think they look similar?
Aviation engineer Kyle is flying back to New York with Julia,
her six-year-old daughter and the
coffin of her husband during the flight kyle wakes up from a nap and discovers that julia is missing
whoa hectic i feel like they don't need to be the coffin doesn't need to be on the plane
oh come on it's a step you want to know you want to you want to you want to no no no you want to
the day can have passed away we can be there with the daughter that's enough we don't have It's a step too far. You want to... No, no, no. You want to travel it back.
The dad can have passed away.
We can be there with the daughter.
That's enough.
We don't have to be transporting the body.
Don't troubleshoot a movie you haven't seen that rocks.
It's the other thing that the movie does.
It rocks, Tim.
Does it?
Does Flight Plan rock?
It rocks.
Okay.
I...
They're making another twister.
Speaking of Helen Hunt.
Hey!
Yeah.
It's exciting.
It's relevant.
You see more and more of them.
That's the truth.
That's the goddamn truth.
And you want to know why?
Fucking Joe Biden as president is allowing it to happen
and and worst ideas official position on this we won't stand for it that's why we're both sitting
right now old slow joe's he's not quick quick enough off the mark to say no to twisters cyclones
hurricanes and other wind-based weather phenomena.
And that's why we need to retake, we the GOP, need to retake the Senate, the House and the
White House so we can stop these weather events.
Well, I'm going to say something to you now, Tim, and I want you to know how it makes you
feel.
Go on.
Nice necklace, Queenie.
Diamonds and emeralds never looked so good.
Confused.
Do you know when I hear Vin Diesel say that line?
When I hear him say that line,
that's how I feel when I do a bad audition. When I hear him say that line, that's how I feel when I do a bad audition.
When I hear him say that line,
I get the feeling of when I've said a line
in an audition for something
and I've thought, nah, not getting it.
Oh, dear.
You think it's a bad read.
I think it's a shocker.
I don't know what it's supposed to communicate,
which I guess is exactly what you're sort of referring to.
Because it sounds, it's a little horny.
It's a little bit horny.
I think we haven't focused on it because it's like a,
it's a setup to one of the best line deliveries in the whole movie,
which is Helen Mirren's
Dominic Toreo
an all-timer
I don't think we will see or
hear a better line delivery in the
franchise than that
I think that's going to forever
remain the pinnacle. It's a shame because we are
developing an immunity to it but the
fact of the matter is
the impact of Helenen mirren being
revealed is in the film and we we're like oh wow helen mirren you know but you take her speaking
voice for granted you think she'll just sound like dame helen mirren like you know the sort of uh
aristocratic sort of british version of herself that we've come to know and love
but she's doing a pantomime accent she's like what do poor people sound like again
oh that's right drop every t conceivable hello hello hold on i've almost got hello
hello dominic torretto do you have a shining light guy for this one i do i do and it's uh it was the beginning of my
love affair with john cena today um it's the reveal it's they're in monte quinto uh the the
fast crew are dealing with the local military and they're sort of trying to outgun them and
outrun them and then there's this it's it's it's everything at once. It's all the parts of movie making,
working in perfect synchronicity to deliver a moment
of what I would call movie magic.
But the sound design slows down
and there's this shot of a car,
like at the top of a sort of plateau,
overlooking the carnage that is being wrought on the fields of
monte quinto and uh the camera pulls out and we see um and the the sound designs are like
and then we see transformers the sound effects right and we see john cena well we actually don't
know it's johnson we see the back of someone wearing a toretto cross like you know sort of casually slung across his shoulder like you know just to get it out of the
way looking surveying what's in front of them in binoculars and the the camera move the performance
the set design the sound design everything is like wow this is a significant moment. Sorry, can I just ask, when you say his performance,
we're seeing his back of him looking through binoculars.
That acting performance?
That acting performance.
What are you talking about?
It's like a three-second shot which starts with his butt,
which an all-timer, speaking of all-timers, that's an all-time butt.
And we go up, you see just the back of him lift
binoculars to his to his face and you think that's where you're going this john seen it he knows how
to act i literally don't think a single person could give a better performance of that action
wow i don't second guess any of it i don't even know that i'm watching a movie in that moment i think i'm just watching a man looking through binoculars you think that's hard that's a hard that's a hard acting assignment
to you didn't say it's hard just says he just saying he nailed it you're inferring it's impressive
and i feel like it has to be a little bit hard for you to be so impressed by it but maybe not yeah
and listen it's your shining light how dare i but it's a crazy thing to be so enamored by
the man with his back to the camera putting binoculars to his face look you you're zeroing
it on the fact that i I highlighted the performance for credit.
The whole...
Okay.
It's the filminess of it all.
That whole part of the movie works.
Good for you, man.
Well, good for the movie too.
Good for the franchise.
Do you know who I love?
Who?
J.D. Pardo.
Who dat?
I love his name.
He's the actor who plays Mr. Toretto Oh Jack
Yeah
We've got his name now bro
It's Jack
Mr. Toretto works as well
It does feel
Appropriately respectful
For the character
Are you looking forward to
whipping the scab off a new film?
I am.
Big time.
Yeah, of course.
It's an interesting...
What are the rumors you've heard about Fast 8?
Fast 8?
One side of my brain has been whispering
to the other side of my brain
that we're going to see other side of my brain that um we're going
to see a lot of vin diesel um there's no han in this one um probably no gal gadot um what i would
like to discover is what crazy vehicle they put in this one. Because I feel like they started doing that after about three or four.
They were like, okay, cars are done.
What have we got?
Submarines?
I feel like it's going to be submarines.
Is there a helicopter in one of them?
A tank?
I think a tank was like a big introduction into one of them.
Although maybe I'm thinking of that really bad Die Hard
that I saw at the movies,
where they drive a tank through the streets of Moscow.
I want to say.
Movie, movie man.
Yeah.
Timmy Bat is a movie man.
He loves movies, guys.
I want to see what the vehicle is and I want to see what the cameo is.
I feel like that's the groove that they got into.
Can I tell you what whispers I've heard on The Grapevine?
Go on.
I've heard it's a stinker.
I've heard it's a really bad movie.
Oh, no.
Worse than this one?
Maybe.
Hard to say.
I mean, we'll find out.
You know, will you feel,
will there be a sort of a twinkle of nostalgia in your eyes as we wave Bon Voyage to Fast 9?
Yeah, it will be a small but emotional goodbye, I think,
to a movie that we've spent the last two months plus one week with.
So before we end this episode i want the both of us to create a new top
five and it's our it's it's tim and guy's top five line reads and fast nine what do you say
well for me uh number one obviously is uh starting at one yep dominic torreto yeah uh you know i actually like
there's a scene it feels like a scene from ricky gervais's extras like where they show you a little
glimpse of the project that's being worked on in the world of the show.
And it's the one with Samuel L. Jackson
when there's a guy giving a big speech
before they reveal it's Samuel L. Jackson.
He's going, I've got five detectives doing this.
I've got that.
I've got a partridge in a bloody pear tree.
What do you want me to say to them?
And then the camera goes in on Sam Alwyn.
He goes, tell him Uncle Sam's in town.
Yes. The guy, he's a the guy he's
a bit of an owen wilson look-alike it's when they're on the cargo plane after the monte quinto
thing and he says something he says his line's like look we're in the clear but this thing is a
mess the headlines out there secret spy agency in a fight with covert operations or whatever
yeah yeah i can get you where you need
to go but then i'm gonna have to back off and dom says i appreciate the favor and he goes i gotta
stop doing so many favors that's that's good that's a really okay cool so that's in there there for sure uh i think i'm trying to think there's this i'm i'm putting chalice there on
east la is a tough enough place to grow up but it was living in your brother's shadow that turned
you into this yeah that's gotta be there absolutely and so long as we're sort of going down that road i do think uh tyrese gibson's dom we're talking about cypher the woman who killed the mother of
your child is uh really sort of nice and nonsensical uh and to be fair john cena
gotta gotta give it to him Says the woman in the box.
Yeah, nice.
There's our top five, everybody.
Lock it in, print it in stone,
and hide it in one of those bunkers that's got a lead containment unit.
So in the nuclear apocalypse,
the only things that will survive are the cockroaches
and Tim and Guy's top five line reads from Fast 9.
With that, Guy, I'd like to bid you a congratulations for this recent viewing.
And I very much look forward to us, I think, being back together for the final.
I mean, we'd have to, you know, for the final watch of F9.
We've got to facilitate that.
You know what Janet Jackson says?
What'd she say?
She said,
put my,
hey, get your hand off of that,
Justin Timberlake.
I'm going to get in trouble.
She says,
I dream about us together again.
That's good too.
Goodbye, everybody.
