    Fast & Furious (Lap 15)
    Jan 7 2025
    We're headed back to Mexico for the fifteenth time as we're joined by Matthew Anderson to talk about Fast & Furious! After learning about Matthew's history with the franchise, his favorite character, and his franchise power rankings, we discuss if Fast & Furious is the most fitting "oops!" movie in the franchise. Joe uncovers what Dom Toretto and Kendrick Lamar have in common. We wonder if Dwight (Mueller) is REALLY that young. At long last, we make a plea: won't someone think of the drug dealers?

    Up Here in Bear Country with All His New York Thespians | Life in the Fast Lane #38
    Dec 31 2024
    It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and we're coming to you live from Up Here in Bear Country with All His New York Thespians. After sharing our tips and tricks for New Year's Eve TV watching, we dive into Tokyo Drift's fourth minute to get our first dialogue of the movie and learn about Nikki Griffin's (Cindy) career. We talk about The Fast and the Furious: Continental Drift, Larenz Tate in Fast 11 (?), and the sales numbers for our George Pickens t-shirt. We open the mailbag to get some new rankings and possibly learn why Dom's son is called "Little B" and not "Brian" as well as potential confirmation on the meaning of "food all over the place."

  • Red One (2024)

    Red One (2024)
    Dec 24 2024
    Merry Christmas! Our holiday movie this year is Red One, starring The Rock and written by Chris Morgan. Does it feel Fast & Furious? We debate. Also, we know it's ironic to whine about what's essentially a F&F movie, but... we wonder if they could have leaned more into the Christmas creativity, whether or not we should be rooting against Kiernan Shipka's Thanos-esque goals, and why (seriously, why?) Krampus runs a fight club. We talk about impressive and majestic reindeer, the complicated (and urine-soaked) production schedule of this movie, and being a grunt who gets stuck with "cookie baking duty." We ask: Why Ant-Man technology? What Naughty List tier is Joe? Email us: family@cageclub.me Visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever. Show your support at the 2 Fast 2 Forever shop!

  • Thrashin' (1986)

    Thrashin' (1986)
    Dec 17 2024
    Mark Hofmeyer joins us to help us clean up another loose end by covering one of our overlooked '80s action sports movies: Thrashin'! After Mark rails against the city of Jacksonville, we try to find things of interest in the black hole of information that is the history of this movie. Joe talks about earrings that are important to him, Mark talks about the impracticality of the in-movie joust game, and Joey wonders if David Lynch loves Thrashin'. We talk about how there isn't enough uphill chasing in movies, who from the F&F would we want to see in an air instrument band, and how to sneak alcohol into clubs. Mark takes care of business in the Letterboxd game. Email us: family@cageclub.me Visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever. Show your support at the 2 Fast 2 Forever shop!

    NOT IN OUR POND | Life in the Fast Lane #37
    Dec 12 2024
    It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane and we're telling our arch rival high school: NOT IN OUR POND. GO DUCKS! After covering another minute of Tokyo Drift that brings us closer to the actual movie, we review the 2 Fast 2 Furious goofs (including an all-time great one, which makes us investigate... a sound?). We Run the VIN to explore his Thanksgiving sadness (and FastX2), explore how the Interquel meter has shifted, and debate if the horny is still in this franchise, after all. Joe reviews Mike Skin Illustrations. We kick off Turbos for Tots season. Email us: family@cageclub.me Visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever.

  • 2 Fast 2 Furious (Lap 15)

    2 Fast 2 Furious (Lap 15)
    Dec 3 2024
    It’s another all-timer tonight as we are joined by Leesa Charlotte (who met Paul Walker!) to talk about 2 Fast 2 Furious. We get her rankings of the Fast and Furious movies (which caused great emotional turmoil) and her unusual picks for favorite character in the franchise before we discuss the ads at the start of the 2 Fast 2 Furious DVD (and the disc’s custom menus). We try to suss out motivation from the first race (both for the racers and the organizers), talk about why 2 Fast feels like a pre-9/11 movie (even though it’s not), and debate which is the franchise’s best secret gay love story. We re-examine the rat bucket scene. We talk about a way to bring Suki back into the franchise. Leesa takes the character quiz.

    MARCUS ZONE AREA #1 | Life in the Fast Lane #36
    Nov 26 2024
    We find ourselves in MARCUS ZONE AREA #1 on today's Life in the Fast Lane, as we cover another Tokyo Drift minute where the only sound is music to ask: is Sean in remedial math? Are they currently shooting Fast 11? We investigate. We also brace ourselves for our Christmas episode alternatives as we pore through a lot of news (and "news") about Dwayne Johnson on the Red One press tour. How would Vin Diesel act in the Criterion Closet? We leaf through The Official Fast & Furious Cookbook. Is Vin Diesel going to co-direct a movie with Steven Spielberg?

  • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
    Nov 19 2024
    Our first pit stop this lap is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which lent heavy inspiration for Chris Morgan's screenplay for Fast Five. We talk about whether or not "The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy" has bad mouth feel, whether Paul Newman and Robert Redford are more evocative of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker or George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and why so much time in this movie is spent watching Newman do tricks on a bicycle. Joe explains why he was underwhelmed by this movie. Joey talks about what dictates the success or failure of this movie. We find a new way, sort of, to play the Letterboxd game.
