The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978)
November 30, 2021 05:00 - 1 hourWe've hit our first pit stop and talking about one of the greatest Kung Fu movies of all-time: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin! After talking about Ghostbusters (new and old) and Halo controls (new and old), we head into the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (20:45) to spend more time talking about papayas than you'd think. Then, we officially "enter the 36 Chambers" with The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (31:15) to talk about its incredible sound effects, stunt choreography, and smart editing. We also discuss t...
The Fast and the Furious (Lap 10)
November 23, 2021 05:00 - 2 hoursWe're kicking off Lap 10 by welcoming in Richard "Benno" Benson (GRAPPL, British Wrestling Experience) to talk about The Fast and the Furious! After chatting about Forza Horizon 5, we kick off our annual "Turbos for Tots" initiative and talk about Red Notice's popularity before finding out some "Brian facts" (and realizing our brains are both broken in the same way) in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (36:30). Then, Benno joins us (47:35) to share his rankings, his idea for how Han survived, and h...
Lap 9 Tune-Up (Recap/Relap)
November 16, 2021 05:00 - 1 hourWe're saying goodbye to Lap 9 (our modern car movies lap, aka "the lap where we watched F9 a whole bunch) and welcoming in Lap 10 in our mechanic-prescribed Lap 9 Tune-Up (Recap/Relap)! After we talk about Eternals, we do a comprehensive breakdown of Vin Diesel's post on Instagram directed squarely at Dwayne Johnson and talk all about the new video game Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise Of SH1FT3R in what's likely our longest "On the Streets" segment ever. Then, we head into the #2F2F Minute (5...
Red Notice (2021)
November 13, 2021 18:00 - 48 minutesRed Notice, now on Netflix, stars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. How can we not cover what is, kind of sort of, a Hobbs & Shaw prequel?! In this episode, we talk about the many Fastnections, the many double-crosses, and when this movie could slot in, time-wise, into the Fastiverse. We also discuss watching a movie that delivers exactly what you think it's going to and try to get to the bottom of why this movie, in particular, is apparently the specific object of scorn for so ma...
F9 (Lap 9)
November 09, 2021 05:00 - 1 hourWe're unofficially closing out Lap 9 by talking about F9 (once again) with Mary Jo Pehl (Mystery Science Theater, Rifftrax)! Before Mary Jo joins us, we talk about new movies and Halloween candy before trying to decode The Rock's idea for a Hobbs & Shaw sequel. Then, we take an incredibly deep dive into Roman's history in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (24:15) as we examine lots of text that appears on screen for mere fractions of a second. Then, Mary Jo joins us (47:25) to talk about F9. We lea...
Baby Driver (2017)
November 02, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're robbing a bank and then speeding away (all scored to the exactly right songs) as we talk about Edgar Wright's musical motor masterpiece Baby Driver! After talking a few more horror movies, we head into the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (18:30) as Joe does some deep detective work on some Charlie Brown-looking Christmas trees on the side of a Floridian highway. Then, we drop the needle on Baby Driver (29:55) to talk the action, the music, and how it all works together. Joe shares a story about...
Hobbs & Shaw (Lap 9)
October 26, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're three apex predators cooped up in the sky on the way to Samoa to talk about Hobbs & Shaw (once again)! After a roundup of Pittsburgh events and horror movies (as well as a breakdown of what T.O.R.E.T.T.O. could stand for), we head (again) to Alligator Alley for some bumper car action in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (29:55). Then, we're joined by Tori Sheehan (X is for Podcast, @charqtori) to talk about Hobbs & Shaw (45:20). It's a big deal, too, as Hobbs & Shaw marks Tori's first Fast & ...
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
October 19, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're shakin' and bakin' on the racetrack today as Brian Rodriguez (High School Slumber Party) joins us for Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby! Before Brian hops in his racecar (from vacation), we talk about horror movies and spotted lanternflies before continuing to race down Alligator Alley in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (29:50). Then, we hit the speedway to talk all about Talladega Nights (38:00). We explore Will Ferrell's artistic desires, talk about John C. Reilly's "thirst trap...
The Fate of the Furious (Lap 9)
October 12, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're hopping aboard a nuclear submarine and bringing High School Slumber Party's Brian Rodriguez with us as we talk about The Fate of the Furious! After Joe talks about a possible ghost hotel (spoiler: it's not) and Joey whines about AMC Theaters, we race down Alligator Alley in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (20:40) before tackling the Cuban Mile in the Fate of the Furious (40:20). We discuss whether Cipher and Jakob's lives intersect before F9 before diving deep into where the entities "Vin D...
Redline (2007)
October 05, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourRedline has a bit of a reputation. Patron Alex Elonen picked it for us to watch this lap, so we're diving deep into its wild backstory. After opening a full mailbox (thank you, everyone!), we finally hear from Carter Verone in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (31:50) before fearing nothing and risking everything in Redline (44:45). The movie is bad, and there's no way around it. But the backstory? Tremendous. We talk about the wild journey to get to Redline, then wonder who the protagonist is as w...
Furious 7 (Lap 9)
September 28, 2021 04:00 - 2 hoursWe're getting closer and closer to "catching up" to F9, and our latest stop is Deckard Shaw's roaring rampage of revenge in Furious 7! After catching up in extracurricular activites, we meet Fonzie and Fabio in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (17:45) before squaring off with Shaw once again. Joining us to talk about Furious 7 is Drea Clark (Maximum Film!), who -- unlike many of our recent, less sophisticated guests -- goes to bat for and defends Paul Walker and Brian O'Conner. We talk about the m...
Herbie Fully Loaded (2005)
September 21, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're hitting the salvage yard -- and then the NASCAR track -- to talk about Lindsay Lohan in Herbie Fully Loaded! Before we get to Michael McGahon's patron pick, though, we catch up on extracurricular activities (which are very Y: The Last Man heavy) and then do the stare and drive in the 2F2F minute (21:30), where we discover a similarity (of sorts) between Brian O'Conner and Frank Costanza. Then, we dive into Herbie Fully Loaded (31:50) to talk about the "car movie algebra" that yields Her...
F9 Director's Cut: Fifth Gear
September 14, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe welcome back Fast & Furious superfan Heather Antos to talk about F9 -- and this time, we're watching the Director's Cut! Before Heather joins us, though, we catch up on the past week and imagine a viable alternative to the Han and Gisele trilogy we are going to continue to attempt to will into existence. Then, we do a deep dive into the F9 Director's Cut (22:15): what's new, what's (maybe) new, and what's extended. We pick our favorites, discuss why things hit the cutting room floor, and w...
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (Lap 9)
September 07, 2021 04:00 - 2 hoursWe're headed back to the streets of Tokyo -- this time with Aaron Neuwirth (Out Now with Aaron and Abe, We Live Entertainment) -- to figure out where Elle, Jakob, and Mr. Nobody were during The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift! We talk about the Dreamcast, Back to the Future, and Possession (1981), preview the F9 director's cut (and rumored F10 title), and watch Monica Fuentes roll up in a delivery truck in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (27:35). Then, we fly across the Pacific with Aaron ridin...
The World's Fastest Indian (2005)
August 31, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're heading Down Under -- and then out to the Bonneville Salt Flats -- to talk about The World's Fastest Indian! Before we get to the movie that Hayley Gerbes picked for us on Patreon, we talk about the characters or actors who could join the franchise in F10 and watch a deleted scene from F9 before heading to Miami and getting answers to our geography questions in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (26:25). Then, we hop aboard our 1920 motorcycles and blaze our way through The World's Fastest Ind...
Fast & Furious Spy Racers: South Pacific
August 27, 2021 04:00 - 58 minutesThere's a new season of Spy Racers on Netflix, so we're coming at you with a bonus episode to talk all about Fast & Furious Spy Racers: South Pacific! Joining us are our core Spy Racers correspondents, Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse, to talk about the highs and lows of the show's fifth season, which may have been the show's best yet! Or was it? Either way, it's definitely more referential of previous seasons and past characters than ever before. We cover the (blessedly) straightforward plot in Sp...
F9: Fourth Gear
August 24, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're returning to orbit once again to talk about F9 (for the fourth time) with Kevo Risse and Nico Vasilo of Husbands Talking More or Less! Before they join us, we talk about new dishwashers and new movies, the release date for F10, and the special features coming to the F9 Blu-ray disc (plus more details in the back half!) before spending our (thankfully) final minute in the demolition derby parking lot in the 2F2F Minute (29:40). Then, the HTML guy drops by (38:55) to talk about F9 (and, a...
Fast & Furious 6 (Lap 9)
August 17, 2021 04:00 - 2 hoursWe're taking a brief break between episodes about F9 to talk about Fast & Furious 6 with Dan Scully (I Like to Movie Movie)! Before Dan joins us, we share extracurricular activities as Joey's audio is peppered with a thunderstorm, talk about Michael Rooker's character, and watch Brian and Roman scrap in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (20:00). Then, Dan swings by to talk about (spoiler!) his favorite movie in the franchise, Fast & Furious 6 (29:40). We share some new theories about Kurt Russell (...
F9: Third Gear
August 10, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWith F9 now available to rent on VOD, we’re covering the movie yet again, this time with Cara Gael O’Regan! Before she joins, though, we debate whether Brian and Bilkins fly to California to get Roman from his demolition derby, talk about the merits of modern movies converted to black and white, and the upcoming 4K release of F9 (and what we hope to get from the “director’s cut”). Then, we count tires in what we’re calling “the calm before the storm” in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (29:30) bef...
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
August 03, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're riding shiny and chrome into Valhalla today as we talk about Mad Max: Fury Road, starring... Cipher after the fall? Before we ride into the wastelands, though, Joe gives us some tips on how to (lazily) watch the Olympics, we discuss the "best" (and our favorite) scenes in the Fast and Furious, and wonder where Bilkins got his (different) bag of popcorn in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (42:45). Then, we're off to talk about Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road (53:05). We ta...
Fast Five (Lap 9)
July 27, 2021 04:00 - 2 hoursWe're grabbing some family, dragging a safe, and hitting the streets of Rio once again to talk about Fast Five! (For the ninth time.) Before we head to Brazil, we catch up on extracurricular events, announce the inductee(s) of the second class for the Fast & Furious / 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame (17:05), discuss the future of Spy Racers, talk some F9 spoilers (33:10), and order a pizza place's motor in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (44:00). Then, we welcome in Juhi Khemani to talk about all t...
Burnout (Børning) (2014)
July 20, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're headed to Norway for the country's "first real car movie" as we talk about Larson's patron pick for this lap, Burnout (Børning)! After doing our normal top-of-show activities (including a mailbag with some light F9 spoilers), we get an exposition dump in the 2 Fast 2 Furious minute (40:25) before taking a break and then racing through Norway as we talk about Burnout (45:45). We discuss the film's homages to the Fast and Furious (and other, older car movies) and our favorite elements, as...
F9: Second Gear
July 13, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWith F9 still in theaters, we're hitting second gear and bringing in our resident historian to talk about the movie once again! Before we do that, though, we do our usual top of the show stuff, including asking listeners not to murder people (and a spoiler-free mailbag) before welcoming Bilkins back into the fold in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (22:30). Then, Mike Manzi (The Monsters That Made Us) stops by to share his thoughts on F9 (32:55). We hear his thoughts, his theories, and his favorit...
Fast & Furious (Lap 9)
July 06, 2021 04:00 - 3 hoursHaving just seen F9, we're coming at Fast & Furious with fresh eyes and finding all sorts of new connections! Important note: this episode has F9 spoilers, but only in specific areas. (Check the timestamps in the description if you haven't seen the movie yet.) After kicking off with some extracurricular activities, we open the spoiler-free mailbag (10:22), which features an amazing story by Wells, before diving into the F9 spoiler-filled mailbag (22:30), where we try to wrap our collective he...
F9 (Spoiler-Filled Review)
June 26, 2021 03:09 - 2 hoursAt long last, F9 is here. We saw it last night, so did you, and now it's time to talk about it... in full spoiler-filled detail. In this episode, we dive right into the discussion to talk all about Han, Jakob, and much, much more. We bring up our favorite parts, talk out a few major questions, and bask in the fan service (done right!) on display in F9. Joe has a great theory about what could come in a future movie and we figure out where things could go in F10 and beyond. Then, we open the ma...
#F9 (Spoiler-Free Immediate Reaction)
June 25, 2021 02:17 - 5 minutesNever before has our podcast title felt so appropriate: we've waited seemingly forever for #F9. At long last, it's here! Recorded live from the movie theater parking lot, here is a very quick immediate reaction about #F9. Now, we're headed home (a quarter-mile at a time), coming down off our high, then recording a spoiler-filled review, which will be out very soon. Go see #F9 in theaters, then stay tuned to this feed for even more discussion! Email us: [email protected] Visit our Patreon pag...
#F9 Preview
June 22, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourThe wait is almost over. #F9 is almost here. As we near the end of #TheRoadToF9, we're taking a moment to get (even more) excited about the newest Fastiverse movie! After we do a lengthy news roundup, open the voting for the Fast and Furious Hall of Fame (voting now open!), and, ahem, examine Suki's front end in the 2 Fast 2 Furious minute, it's time to dive deep into everything #F9. We're talking about the things we're most excited for, how we hope it ties into The Fate of the Furious (and H...
Bumblebee (2018)
June 15, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWith #F9 little more than a week away, we're taking today's stop on #TheRoadToF9 to do some "advance scouting" of John Cena in Bumblebee! We continue to dodge #F9 spoilers as we weave through a mailbag and another week of news before finally finishing the first race in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (and do a little math along the way). Then, we head back to 1987 for Bumblebee. We talk about the Fastnections, how this could fit into the Fastiverse (either directly or as an overall Transformers c...
2 Fast 2 Furious (Lap 9)
June 08, 2021 04:00 - 2 hoursWe're still on #TheRoadToF9, and this week we find ourselves (once again) in Miami to look for Jakob and talk about 2 Fast 2 Furious! First, we cover lots of Fast and Furious news and try to figure out when the next Fast and Furious movie will release (after #F9). Then, we watch our racers jump the bridge in the Fast and Furious Minute as Cara Gael O'Regan stops by for some quick analysis and to talk about the fundraiser she's participating in, the 6th annual Race to Beat POTS. (Learn more an...
Need for Speed (2014)
June 01, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourGather round, children, for we have a story to tell about The Three Jesses... We're taking our first pit stop on #TheRoadToF9 with Need for Speed, which was selected for us by patron Nick Burris! Before we head west for the De Leon, Joey explains a complicated new way of watching movies, Alex writes in to tell us how he messed up, and we head back to Miami to maybe (?) find the "right" S+S Fabrics. Then, Bob Fischer (Joey's co-host on the upcoming podcast how to win the lottery) joins the sho...
The Fast and the Furious (Lap 9)
May 25, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourThe Road to F9 officially gets underway as we kickstart Lap 9 with The Fast and the Furious with special guest Jay Sandlin! Before Jay joins the show, we brace for #F9 spoilers, unveil an earth-shattering mystery in the mailbag, and try to figure out who used NOS first in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute. Then, Jay Sandlin joins the show to talk about The Fast and the Furious. He shares the hottest takes we've had yet on the In-N-Out vs. Whataburger debate, recounts some lessons learned from an ea...

May 18, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're closing out our Tokyo Drift Lap and saying goodbye to Heather Antos in our mechanic-prescribed Lap 8 Tune-Up / Relap / Recap. Before we wind down Lap 8, we talk about the end of the NHL season, race through another 60 seconds in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute, and wonder if we experience seasons in the Fastiverse. Then, we look back at Lap 8 -- the highs, the lows, and our interview with the amazing Lynda Boyd -- before unveiling the theme for Lap 9 and getting a new set of rankings from J...

May 14, 2021 04:00 - 58 minutesKill Bill: Vol. 2 closes out both our Kill Bill Week and our Tokyo Drift Lap as we're hitting you with a bonus episode! There's no intro segment here, so we dive right into the behind-the-scenes trivia of Kill Bill: Vol. 2, the film's cool moments, and how it stacks up to the first one. We also wonder why The Bride's name reveal is played to be such a big "thing" before finding another person on Letterboxd who loves Blade Runner. Email us: [email protected] Visit our Patreon page at patreon....
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
May 11, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're closing out our Tokyo Drift lap by seeing how Quentin Tarantino remixes all the influences we've covered this lap in Kill Bill: Vol. 1! Before we fly to Okinawa (one way), we talk about the NFL Draft and the end of the first season of Young Rock, then race our way through Minute 9 of the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute. Then, we're off to Japan to get Hattori Hanzo steel and talk about the coolest moments in Kill Bill: Vol. 1, the many Lone Wolf and Cub influences, and whether or not Quentin Ta...
Hobbs & Shaw (Lap 8)
May 04, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe've thought for a while that Hobbs & Shaw may be our lap-long guest Heather Antos's favorite Fast and Furious movie. Were we right? Find out in this episode! But before Heather joins us, we participate in some Oscars roundup, dance our way around the newest episode of Young Rock, and have our most exciting minute yet for 2 Fast 2 Furious. Then, we welcome in Heather to talk about Hobbs & Shaw, but first: news about Paddington 2. Then, we get her reaction to the movie and discuss a new idea ...
Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Mexico

We welcome in our Spy Racers experts, Nico Vasilo (X is for Podcast) and Kevo Risse (Husbands Talking, More or Less) to wonder... why isn't Spy Racers getting weird with things? Nico makes things TV-MA in a hurry and talks a lot about The Simpsons, while Kevo, our newly-appointed Corn Cob Investigator, has a heart-to-heart with the producers (who we know are lis...

Then, Mike hops in our baby cart as we head to Edo period Japan for Shogun Assassin. We talk about the long-lasting legacy the...
The Fate of the Furious (Lap 8)
April 20, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour#F9 is coming, but before we get there, we're once again hitting NYC (via Cuba) to talk about The Fate of the Furious with Heather Antos! First, we dive into the #F9 trailer -- but only to a certain extent, to keep things spoiler-free -- and hear your reactions in the mailbag. We talk about Dewey and Karen in Young Rock's "My Baby Only Drinks the Good Stuff," and "kick it a nickel" in the sixth minute of the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute. Then, Heather joins us with a sort of startling revelation: ...
Gung Ho (1986)
April 13, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourBrian "Slumber Party" Rodriguez is back on the podcast to sneak in another movie, this one starring "The Pride of Pittsburgh," Michael Keaton: Gung Ho! Before Brian joins, though... Joe re-arranges his living room, Johnson teams up with Hopkins for some action movie hijinks in Young Rock, and (the other) Brian arrives to the race in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute. Then, we're off to Japan (and back again) to talk about all things Gung Ho. Could Michael Keaton save a town that's definitely not Pi...
Furious 7 (Lap 8)
April 06, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're burning down hospitals and flexing off arm casts as we seek vengeance with Heather Antos as we talk about Furious 7! Before she joins us, we catch up on extracurricular activities and two episodes of Young Rock, and we break down the fourth minute of 2 Fast 2 Furious and try to decipher the role rappers (and actors, and rappers who act) play in the Fastiverse (and whether or not there's some kind of witness protection program in play). Then, Heather joins us with some stunning revelatio...
Justin Lin's Episodes of "Community"
March 30, 2021 04:00 - 1 hourWe're taking a fun detour this week as we enroll in community college and talk about Justin Lin's three episodes of Community. Before class begins, though, we talk about Temptation Island and Zack Snyder's Justice League, and then open the mailbag to remember some fire ass titles. Then, we're headed to Greendale to talk about "Introduction to Statistics," "Interpretive Dance," and "Modern Warfare." It's Joe's first watch of Community (and one of Joey's favorite shows), so we discuss the show,...
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (Lap 8)

Before we needle drop DJ Shadow, though, we catch up on Extracurricular Activities, check in where Montez is in her catch-up, and meet Tej in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute.

Fast & Furious 6 (Lap 8)
March 09, 2021 05:00 - 1 hourWe're once again "citizens of the world" as we return to London, baby, to talk about Fast & Furious 6 with Heather Antos! Before we clash with Owen Shaw (the almost-always-a-bad-guy Luke Evans), we catch up on Young Rock, open the mailbag, and finish out the Turbo Charged Prelude in the Fast & Furious Minute. (2 Fast 2 Furious kicks off next episode!) Then, we welcome in Heather to find out her favorite (and least favorite) parts of Fast & Furious 6, discover whether she's a racer or a design...
Interview with Lynda Boyd (Ms. Boswell in Tokyo Drift)

We talk about her time on The X-Files, She's the Man, and Supernatural, get some behind-the-scenes info on what John Cena is really like, and hear all about her short fi...
Game of Death (1978)
March 02, 2021 05:00 - 1 hourGame of Death could have been a stone-cold classic and one of the best films of all-time. It is not. In this episode, we dig into why. Before we enter the pagoda, though, we chat about Eastbound and Down, MLB Showdown, and Young Rock, and we break down the penultimate minute in the Turbo Charged Prelude. Then, we dive deep into Game of Death to learn more about the behind-the-scenes tragedy, insanity, and outrage. We also watch and talk about the (relatively) newly-released Game of Death Redu...
Fast Five (Lap 8)
February 23, 2021 05:00 - 1 hourWe're continuing the Tokyo Drift Lap with special guest Heather Antos as we find our way to Brazil in time to watch Fast Five!

Then, we bring in Heather to talk about Fast Five. We get her "cool" moment of the movie, gaug...
Akira (1988)
February 16, 2021 05:00 - 1 hourLike a Kaneda tai Tetsuo, Neo Tokyo metsubou? We're finally fulfilling the prophecy (?) laid out in the Teriyaki Boyz song from Tokyo Drift by heading to Neo Tokyo to watch Akira! Before we get there, though, we break down another minute of the Turbo Charged Prelude and dive deep into the 30-second commercial for #F9 shared on Super Bowl Sunday. Then, we talk about the post-apocalyptic landscape of Akira, its animation and body horror, and what Joey thought this movie was about before finally...
Fast & Furious (Lap 8)
February 09, 2021 05:00 - 1 hourWe're correcting the timeline and jumping forward in time as we return to Los Bandoleros and Fast & Furious! Before welcoming in Heather Antos to talk about all things Letty, Gisele, and Dwight, we tease a new Patreon-exclusive episode, break down the fight (or lack thereof) between Vin Diesel and The Rock, and journey across the American Southwest (or do we just stay in California?) for the second minute of the Turbo Charged Prelude. Then, we're joined by Heather to find out how she feels ab...
Tokyo Drifter (1966)
February 02, 2021 05:00 - 2 hoursWhile the release date fate of #F9 remains in limbo, the Tokyo Drift lap marches on with the appropriately-named Tokyo Drifter! Before we tussle with the yakuza, we catch up on the mailbag and begin our minute-by-minute breakdown of the Turbo Charged Prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious, which yields far more detail than you may think. Then, we welcome back our new resident yakuza expert, Garrett Smith (I Like to Movie Movie, Moviejawn), to talk about all things Tokyo Drifter! We talk about the movie'...
