S4E36: Furious 7

My favourite fact about this film is that it was called wild team sky mission in Japan

As someone from PR I really appreciate how accurately Devon pronounces the names of Tego Calderon and Don Omar. Great reggeaton musicians from the local area.

I hear thattThe one thing that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nova’s monitor have in common is that neither have funded arms sales to Israel.

Being in a cishet-passing relationship, I have severe queer imposter syndrome. Thankfully Abi is there to brutalize me with "If you're gay you're wearing Vans" and I become shocked that it took me to my 30s to figure it out.

"the paramedic dom" 🥵 Etc.

One of my friends watched the fast and furious movies in a row at work and fully cried when they did the Paul Walker drive away

So I just heard from people elsewhere that a certain Abigail Thorn is nominated for The People's Human Rights Champion. There's many people doing good work in the list, but I threw my vote so, so fast. https://www.amnesty.org.uk/forms/peoples-human-rights-champion/

"Mr. Toretto, my name is Nick Furious."

D.E.B.S. IS COMING D.E.B.S. IS COMING D.E.B.S. IS COMING Australia is toast.

I can't help but think of a funny but Cinema Sins like observation about the Wes Kaliefa song. You'd think they would hire someone within the cast to help create a song. Someone with well known musical talent. someone who, while not in the beginning started the series very close. It's almost LUDICROUS that no one on the cast offered.

Abi: He murdered Brazillians. Me: Oh my god. How much is a brazillion?

Imagining the Fast and Furious x It’s A Small World collab but it’s the children of the world telling you their recommended fast food deal followed by a homophobic slur in their native languages

Seriously, please buy a VPN and learn to torrent these dang movies. I hate, hate, hearing every episode that you paid amazon or that you couldnt see anything from the streaming site

This is pure speculation. I think the original idea was for Paul Walker to take over as Mr. Nobody. That's why Kurt Russell has all these I'm going to be the villain moments. Because he was originally the villain, so he.could be replaced by Brian. That way Brian could still be around in the movie, bullets and family

We're going to look at the Animated Series, too, right? FAST & FURIOUS: Spy Racers? A Netflix Original? Anyone?

My Neighbor Toretto 🚘

I grew up in French America and these guys got the accent wrong. We have Bay Area accents.

I watched the film Ratatouille for the first time the other night with some chums and when it shows Linguini's shoes are Converse sneakers (I think?) I pointed at the screen and started yelling. In my mind, that is, not in real life that would have been weird and required too much explaining.

Former cemetery maintenance here- probably varies, but the place I worked considered the grave plots to be the families private property, they could do whatever with the stones so long as it didn't mess with someone else's grave. So the sledgehammer thing would be fine so long as it was clearly the owner doing it and they cleaned up after themselves, regardless of whether there is a body interred (ymmv)

Ahhhh Porsche Unleashed was an absolute banger of a game.

So, horrible unfun fact, Vin Diesel was accused of sexual battery by a former assistant a few years back. I remember reading her account of it, and it was fucking horrific

Although I have no interest in watching any of the Transporter, Bank Job, Fast, and Furious movies, I do wish I could see the Hallucination layer KJB cut of the Frank Transporter saga in which he is textually gay and trans and ace instead of sub/meta-textually (also al the paedophilia is removed and the women have interiority.) EDIT: Devon learned of the Amulet from me! eggsdee (Credit to the lads at Weekly Planet.) Also yes, in my home state of Queensland you're not allowed to ask for freedom between those particular bodies of water. Freedom everywhere else is fine, but between those bodies of water is a no freedom zone. EDIT2: "Always bring a grenade to a Street Fight" Frank Transporter is a Rolento main.

Racewars, CA is now a real thing in Riverside, CA which yea as a socal native that tracks But yea another case of movie thing > real thing

November please don't give my patreon donation to bezos :(

Abu Dhabi? The place where Garfield keeps trying to mail Odie?

Devon tysm for mentioning "The Night Comes For Us", this movie is incredible, and I cannot believe I missed it.

Truckers are the noble proletariat just trying to make a living shipping loads of nitroglycerin, and Car People are international capitalists constantly stealing from them to pay for their extravagant luxurious lives.

Pedo Walker is the real car Jesus, he died for Furious 7s sins and kinda redeemed it. But really though, if he hadn't died during production the movie would have been just another shit Fast and Furious sequel and the franchise would have decayed more quickly. Him dying gave it way more attention and admiration than it deserved. It's like The Dark Knight with Heath Ledger, it's a fine, well put together movie with an admittedly great performance by him, but because he died it got all this attention and now movie bros think it's one of the greatest films ever made, which is absurd. Moral of the story I guess is have one of your lead actors die tragically to guarantee the movie being a hit.

Converse are a purely theoretical shoe. Maximum cost for minimum structural integrity

The "minivan type" these days comprises mostly people who do sports with their dogs

Idk about the woman vs man fight issue Nova was talking about. I get that it can feel weird and bad because of abuse, but I've seen good fight scenes between women and men before that didn't feel that way.

I can't help but wonder if Truck-kun is the truckers satan, or the messiah

So I have a very strange, incredibly of my particular generation, very fucking stupid relationship with the ending/Wiz Khalifa song, because I have never watched any of the movies in this franchise and have no connection to it at all, but I DID watch Filthy Frank when I was a teenager, and the version of this song that's stuck in my head is the stupid meme version for this Filthy Frank tribute video. https://youtu.be/lHzMKHrqXSc?si=_cqr9r9wCKKuCU_W Imagine having the lyrics "Peanut butter on my balls, let the dog lick it" automatically playing in your head when you hear that song instead of the actual lyrics. My brain is malformed permanently because it was growing in that era of the Internet.

36:29 NO WAY First off, me too, second, my partner too, third, we're both non-binary and using they/them pronouns exclusively. this needs to be studied

34:05 it's now canon in my head that Abbys brother is actually Frank Transporter.

A franchise as a form if motion picture collage? You mean like a YouTube poop?

Have you considered doing AmbuLAnce as part of truck season

16:30 ACAB is "Assigned Converse At Birth"???

ah yes, a Female Penis Vagina drone

Can we please get a Jason Statham season?

As someone who is currently on holiday in Belgium, the ale here rips. I'm sorry Corona I am sure you hit right with lime on a hot summer night but I am snug as a bug in a rug eating beef stew and eel in cream sauce and the ales they offer me are so good!

Wow November is the only other person who played Porsche Unleashed besides my brother and me

The furious muscle car chase with no music reminded me, the Rock stars in a surprisingly good carman rampage roaring of revenge B-movie called "Faster". The Rock gets released from prison and immediately goes to kill the people who killed his brother. Billy Bob Thornton plays a heroin addicted cop trying to find him, and there's also a sort of male model ubermensch assassin being paid to take out the Rock. Every single character is amazingly memorable and they all have motivations and personalities and shit.

"So we're going to Race Wars." "What??" "It's an event where we all race like it's a battle, but instead of violence we use speed. So a war of a race, or Race Wars." "Oh, ok." "There's also a lot of racism..."

Now I want a Frank Transporter - Frank Kitchen buddy cop film.

The emergency dom rappelling down from a helicopter, doing shibari to their sub with the rappel line, and then standing on their back as they're airlifted out

I want Abby to do a.movie with Jason, because I know it's so ingrained into her mind that the first time she sees him she'll go, "Oh, Frank Transporter, big fan I love your work." And she'll hear the Disco Elysium morale damage sound go off

me slapping the *roof of Kill James Bond, this can fit so many car and trans episodes into the podcatcher *the word I am slapping is below ☸️ > Saṃsāra is a Sanskrit term meaning "wandering through" or "cyclic change," derived from sam (together, complete) and sṛ (to flow or run)

Watching these all back to back must be doing as much damage to you as locking yourself in a garage with a running car for the same amount of hours

"If you drift hard enough, you can move relativistically through time" -The Fast And The Furious: Tachyon Drift

Yes the unknown soldier is meant to stand in for all unknown soldiers. I think the idea is that if you lost someone and their body was never recovered then you have a grave to visit although that part is speculation on my part. I think I heard of one instance where they identified the unknown soldier and they had to reinter them somewhere else so that's one instance where it's an empty tomb. I've also heard that modern identification techniques would make it harder to have another unknown soldier but given what we've seen in the last few years I take that with a grain of salt.

The chud narnia; always summer never pride sounds ... a tantalizing idea. To come across Daddy Chris Master as the sweltering hold of the chud starts to break.

23:20 I must also interdict as a Wrestling Freak, that wasn't a chokeslam, that was a Rock Bottom, one of the Rock's wrestling moves so the wrestling fans in the theatre could clap like circus seals

A moment of appreciation for Devon's rendition of the lesser known girls aloud single "nonce machine" at 49:10 which neither Abi nor Nova noticed but which made me fall out of my chair

15:40 Gotta disagree, while they are Protagonist, they are also homosexual shoe (my credentials: I am a Shoe Freak)

Earnestly replying to EGirls is a lot more fun when it's not My Dad doing it in the kitchen in full view of god, his wife, and everyone. (I cope Normal)

I have to disagree with the converse take. Nowadays they've looped back around to being skater shoes again, most "unisex" (male) shoe stores are full of the big sole sock on top type sneakers and those are the ones you're assigned. Back when the movie came out & in britain it might have been different though I still thought I was male and was on autopilot so I had no fashion synapses. Didn't wear any converses until I was a woman, anecdotally. Before it was exclusively tennis shoes and big sole sock on top sneakers. I might concede on them being the amazon basics black skirt or dolphin shorts of shoes, but you're not assigned converses at birth where I live which is the 2020s in the netherlands.

The only thing ill add about converse (americans we call them chucks) and the reason he wears them so much is probably because theyre an excellent budget friendly driving shoe, obviously none of you drive so i wont bother going into the semantics of lightweight breathable shoes with good pedal feel and a slim profile for tight pedal boxes. Or how deeply it upsets me that my favorite budget driving shoes no longer exist (the quality is just shit now) sadface

ACAB - Assigned Converse At Birth

Yall dropped this seconds after a huge earthquake hit my location. It heralded the kjb ep. Damn.
