Interestingly, the Letty amnesia Dom having to win her over again like it's the first time is done way better in Shrek 4 somehow
Honest proposal of Tampopo for the Truck Season - a great Japanese comedy
Gina Carrano trying very hard to be in something worse and stupider than Red Alert 3 and by the sounds of things succeeding. If you really want to do yourself a brain injury then look up what she looks like in Red Alert 3 cuz uh, hmm. Hmmm.
They call him Dominic Tourette-oh cuz he gets the BBC in trouble for reasons he has little to no control over.
Amazing to hear November pull not "bacta," the healing goo from the Star Wars *movies,* but specifically "kolto," the functionally identical healing goo from the Knight Of The Old Republic games.
"They're looking for a guy called Shaw" and I went, "my God, they got Wallace Shaw for this movie?!"
And cowabunga with your spirit, Dev
I couldn't remember which of these movies was the last one I watched, I just remembered there was a plane that never went anywhere and a European villain. After this, I go in blindly. Because I refuse to watch more of these fucking movies.
I found the only thing worse than getting sniped by your name being said is being sniped by the hosts making references to the two bonus episodes you just listened to again. I'd just finished Hedwig and was mid-Cody Banks 2 when I started this.
If we're talking content that maybe enables toxic tendencies in straight white guys, I would start with Mad Men (2007-2015), which glorified a time in the past when straight white guys got away with some seriously horrific stuff, drank like fish at work, and were rewarded for it. I can imagine a lot of straight white guys thinking, "Let's make America great like that again." I know Mad Men is always described as "critiquing that time and place," but I've seen the first season, and the shows creators were lying. It was cover to get away with glorifying the truly horrible things straight white guys were getting away with. I suppose that could have changed in the out years, but one season was all I could stomach.
I agree, though I don’t know if they were lying. It’s very hard to put something/someone on screen and not glorify it or make it attractive to at least some people. Very good filmmakers have tried and failed (Scorsese, e.g.). They could have simply not been up to the task. But I 100% agree that the effect is to glorify toxicity. I watched one season and had to stop because it was bad for my soul
i am actually kinda getting sick of these. I agree with you guys that theyre not very interesting
theyre too recent! i know what this type of movie is like even if i havent seen any of these in specific.
Looking up at the dial on the wall to see it pointing to “cars are women” and realizing with sinking horror that I’ve been acting like women are cars for four hours
With regards to Gal Gadot and Gina Carano I love the sort of vibe of respecting women, not these particular women but we do respect them as women, just not as individuals. There's nuance there and I like that.
Going through these episodes has me feeling like Fast and Furious started with a sort of youthful fad masculinity and, once the fad faded and the characters became old, swapped that out for a modified trad masculinity.
as a hog since da youtube zone days, this series may be my favorite slop
KOTOR kolto tank mention!!!!
Me, having seen zero of these movies *search term: "rezvani"* oh god that is an ugly baby
Please do Death Race 2008. Frank Transporter, Car Men vs Truck Men, what does did this say about masculinity. It's peak.
A couple of the racing scenes were filmed in Liverpool, which looks really funny to anyone from here: 1. They enter the Queensway tunnel from the Liverpool side and then Shaw takes a left into a blocked-off section of the tunnel, after which Dom follows him but turns off down the not-blocked off exit as if he was travelling the other direction. 2. A part of Dom and Letty's race seems to travel the same 20m section of road for a good couple of minutes, with the camera cutting enough times to hope we don't notice.
Baby Driver also has this problem. I suspect it is common but you only notice if you’ve lived there
The latency of border patrol reminds me of Paper's Please where you get the "you messed up checking the papers" after you let the potential forger/terrorist in the country lol
November is both the Famby Jesus of podcasts and her own "Fambly Sucks" Evil Twin in the Be Gay, Solve crimes anti-Fambly.
Abi's analysis of the roles of the Be Gay Solve Crimes fambly is cromulent enough, but I would point out that Lucy does the jazz outro for BGSC which does nudge her toward being the Devon
Maybe the real Car Guys™ movie is the family we made along the way. Also you're 1000% right in the fact that the true focus of these movies is no longer the cars; it was meant to be the slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance between Toretto and Brian that never came to pass
So excited for the anticipated force fem frank the hitman vs transmasc frank transporter showdown
November: You can burn out all the empathy from your heart in order to embrace a certain type of masculinity. Me: The Satsui No Hadou is real? Quick, somebody check on Ularu, something horrible might happen! EDIT: Devon knows about the amulet! EDIT2: I'm getting teased like an MCU Stan, but even though I knew it was coming I did get exciting when they teased the return of our gay ace trans king Frank Transporter. 'E's back, you toilets! EDIT2: Milo C3POnipilous
can't believe they based Dom and Brian in this one on Mark and Moke from Our 3 Dads
The exact word you're looking for is Bizarro, like in Seinfeld where they find out Eliane has befriended the Bizzaro version of the gang
Devon FYI, chez Torreto is in Echo Park and according to zillow is worth just a little over a million dollars. It's 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It's a block west of Sunset Blvd and not that far from downtown LA and Doger Stadium. Houses in Echo Park go for around half million for a condo to around a 2 million for a larger single family home. LA real estate is almost as crazy as London. Keep in mind that LA has no terraced housing like the UK or cities on the East Coast.
Letty looking at Dom with half-recognition the whole time, not because her memory is coming back but because from the back 3/4 he looks just like her good friend who was recently exploded.
the rock usually has really narcissistic things in his contract, saying he can't look weak and at least in wrestling he has his own writer which is cringe
[November references a healing vat of goo from Star Wars] [says "kolto" instead of "bacta"] Me: "Aha! I know exactly which video game she got that from! Ohhhhh fuck me I've given too much brainspace to nerd shit"
Abigale clearly hasn't hung out with enough fox girls. We're big fans of eggs
The discussion around 1:08 about trying to lose your empathy and humanity because you think it will you masculine hit me like a truck, because i tried to do that when i was like 14 but with Agent 47 instead of james bond. Turns out there are these things called 'autism' and 'shes transsexual'.
Mod Otterot. The physical duplicate yet moral opposite of Dom Toretto!
more like schwa because that's the only vowel sound in any of the male names in this series
Congratulations. You've managed to push the arrow halfway through your body. You're almost there.
Not me 80% through the episode realizing that not only have I SEEN THIS ONE, I saw it in theaters, and it's the only F&F (the longest runway tipped me off)
Yeah same here
Kirsten Stewart said about Marvel movies “it’s just not my thing, but I did see Paw Patrol".
The move the Rock hits is not just a wrestling move, it is a Rock Bottom, which is his signature finisher move. That probably rates an extra smarm point on its own
11:14 *EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER* this mf pronounced the s in de moines
Hard R D2
What do you mean "racist british gay guy"? Didn't you read the part of the grindr profile where he wrote "I'm not racist, it's just a preference" in all caps?
Most pillar boxes are actually made of cast iron that’s reasonably thick, which is why they’re all still standing after so long, so depending on the calibre of the bullet they’re probably a pretty decent piece of cover.
Nova predicting what movie the dead characters will return in is very funny
FRANK TRANSPORTER WILL RETURN IN FURIOUS 7
The infinite runway was built during the brief window where it looked like Spain might buy the F-105.
Richard the Lionheart also famously did not trust the royal (chain)mail with his life 😔
oh boy oh boy my weekly bowl of homemade fambly slop
The Rock's wrestling finishing move was The Rock Bottom
Holding out for them to get even furiouser then fasterer and so on
Gina Carano was in some terrible fight sequences in The Mandalorian too, I think maybe she's bad at acting.
I don't feel like anyone is getting near enough furious in these films to warrant a namedrop in the title. It's only ever really fast.
PEDO WALKER, YOUR END DRAWS NEAR!
YOU BEST NOT BE RUNNING NOW!
Back in the day we had feds like Walter Skinner (huge, bald, woke, cool) and now we have feds like Luke Hobbs (huge, bald, chud, lame)
We're edging closer and closer to the end... God willing...
