S4E11: Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)

So two weeks ago we attempted to recall the plot of You Only Live Twice from memory, after having last watched the movie in 2021. This week, we all watched the Nick Cage vehicle (get it) Gone in 60 Seconds a matter of days before recording and somehow remembered it even less.

Joining us is returning champion, friend of the show, photographer and automotive journalist Victoria Scott!

FREE PALESTINE

Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. We're putting all our energy into this one campaign as we have a real chance to get Ahmed and his family out of Gaza. Please, if you can help in any way, be that by donating yourself or sharing the link with friends and family, it will mean the world to me.

This is where my ADHD ass being so behind on these is fun, because Delroy Lindo has since had one of the best roles in years

As a queer woman with a Subaru Outback named Dana (after the L Word), I think loving your car and talking to her is based and culture.

Devon's scream of agony around minute 20 regarding their total lack of memory confirmed this as one of the all-time great episodes, at least as far as "host is being tortured" is concerned

No mention of guy we love to see Timothy Olyphant as Cop Jr. trying to catch Albany NewYork with the power of racism and misogyny.

I have heard the black people can't swim stereotype. It has a dark history. Not so much as a stereotype but why generations of black children in America weren't taught to swim up to the 1970s.

Doesn't it also trace itself back to desegregation and pools with black patrons being poisoned/acid thrown in them?

I'm delighted Victoria mentioned 'Josie and the Pussycats', one of my favourites. I'm genuinely a little surprised they haven't covered it as a bonus episode already.

Good episode gang 👍. Looking forward to the Jobs Italian perhaps. Also do the likes of National Treasure, Tomb Raider, and Indiana Joneses belong in heist season or History Mystery season or something? Also also you should probably invite Victoria back for a less racist movie next time.

idk if this is on your radar, but an episode about the movie amubuLAnce (2022) would be so great. directed by michael bay, jake gylenhaal attempts a bank heist and ends up hijacking an ambulance. atrocious mess of a movie, but it is still fun

Jermy · April 6, 2025

Re the woodworking coffin making: boards are boards are boards, joints are joints are joints, you would use the same skills and techniques as cabinetry just with different plans and maybe cut angles. He probably also would have made a mockup out of a cheaper wood before attempting the final project, so he might be skilled, but it’s not as if he’d never done anything like it before

Patrick Lopez · April 6, 2025

So I was 19 when this came out, the exact target audience, and I'm here to tell you that Angelina Jolie WAS the selling point of this movie. She was HEEEEAVILY marketed.

J
Jacob King · April 6, 2025

Gone In Sixty Seconds was a pivotal moment in my understanding that a movie can contain elements I like (Angelina Jolie, car chases, crime) and yet still be bad. A step on my way to having good taste. I enjoyed the episode, I remembered nothing except the song Low Rider.

P
P.A.L. · April 6, 2025

I'm sorry, Devon is correct, the Boost (or as it is to me forever the Moro) is a perfectly decent bar.

Comicgeekery · April 5, 2025

In my continuing campaign to get you to do an episode on Bound (early Wachowski sisters film, incredible EXPLICIT lesbian protagonists, brilliant yet simple heist), I feel should mention that it DOES have multiple (lesbian) handjobs. Since that's what you're looking for now. 😉 It's also just a really good movie!

B
Bee · April 6, 2025

Holy shit I was literally coming here to make the same suggestion Bound 1996 is a robbery and Heist film.

The guy who directed this also Directed Swordfish (not a car movie) but does also prominently feature an HJ scene!

Mark Schwagner · April 5, 2025

When the crew mentioned the Stephen Hunter review it sent me down a rabbit hole and was wondering, if you could fine an angle (genre, decade, something else), would anyone else like to hear a future episode related to SCUMing film critics?

S
Strike3 · April 5, 2025

You gotta do couple of Patreon episodes on Death Race and Death Race 2000. They're also both racist but I think the original is trying to be Toung and Cheek about it. There is a bit where the announcer says "and back by popular audience demand, NAZIS!!!" Which suggest a level of Saterical Piss Take on these kind of car films.

My understanding is that the stereotype of Black people being unable to swim comes from the fact that they were banned from swimming pools and beaches and other places where they'd have an opportunity to learn how. NOT GREAT

I thought it was also a racially charged refrence to how Gorrillas could not swim.

I don't know why, but the almost-sex scene between Angelina Jolie and Nicolas Cage in this film made me more viscerally uncomfortable than anything I've seen in a movie in a long time. And to clarify, I watched this film today after seeing the episode come out.

S
Sammi · April 4, 2025

I ended up looking up their ages btw, Nicolas Cage was 37 when this came out I think, and Angelina Jolie was 25. Also I swear she looks just like Jaheira from BG3 in this.

Hey mind your business, name's not important · April 4, 2025

I had a thought about a season. Car/driving movies. Speed Racer, Vanishing Point, Two Lane Blacktop, Baby Driver, Cannonball Run, and Drive. But not the Fast and Furious Saga, that is a season unto itself.

1. november said you're moving from heist movies to car movies and i got scared, i need y'all to watch the national treasure movies! i'm dying to know how those watch from a non-american perspective. points in their favor: they have nicholas cage! in the second one they break into buckingham palace! definitely stuff to say about american masculinity and also whiteness! 2. i can't believe none of you called him hannah montana

c
cole d · April 4, 2025

Strongly seconding the Nat Treasure movies, they're great. I'd wager their clue-discovering process is better than Dan Brown's but probably not all that clever in hindsight. Hearing what Brits think of them would be interesting for sure
