  • Furious 7 (Lap 16)

    Furious 7 (Lap 16)
    2026/04/28
    We’re headed to Abu Dhabi to talk about Furious 7, this time with Derek Lawrence: journalist and author of the upcoming book, A Quarter-Mile at a Time: The Oral History of the Fast & Furious Franchise! After learning about his new book (its format, release date, and what he learned from his interviews), we share a mutual admiration of Vin Diesel’s Instagram and talk about what Fast Forever will look like (as well as what fans actually want). Derek remembers a time when his friends splintered over Tokyo Drift vs. Cars, talks about his love for Fast and Furious and Hitch, and shares his favorite Fast interviews. We talk about whether Fast Forever could mark a return to Furious 7, reexamine Kurt Russell’s presence in the franchise, and wonder why we haven’t seen a Shaw family movie yet. Derek talks about what he loves most about Furious 7 (and what he’d remove). We share new theories about the Vin/Rock feud and who Samantha Hobbs’s mom may be. Derek names the only writers he would trust with writing Fast movies, gives Jordana Brewster credit for her emotion in this movie, and tells us a fun story about his rapport with Sung Kang.

  • Groot's First Steps (2022)

    Groot's First Steps (2022)
    2026/04/24
    Happy Arbor King Day! As we do every year on Arbor Day, we're celebrating by watching one of the Arbor King's shorts. This year, we're watching Groot's First Steps, which is available to stream in the "I Am Groot" TV series on Disney+. After talking about how we're going to spend our Arbor Day, and how much we love trees, we talk about the similarities between this web series and the 2020 documentary I Am Greta. We also talk about the many questions that Groot's First Steps cause us to ask, like: is Baby Groot a cannibal? What's that green sap? Is Groot the Han of the Guardians?

  • "Heeeeeere’s Seanny!" | Life in the Fast Lane #68

    "Heeeeeere’s Seanny!" | Life in the Fast Lane #68
    2026/04/21
    We're breaking down the doors (metaphorically) in the new Life in the Fast Lane, and we've got a message for you: "Heeeeeere’s Seanny!" In a very quiet (or, in Joe's words: "least available to us") installment of the Tokyo Drift Minute, we find ourselves face to face with a reference to classic horror. Then, Vin Diesel lets us down as our Running of the VIN yields no new Instagram posts. We get some more (bold!) guesses about the amount of screentime for Hobbs in Fast Forever. Joey disappoints Joe re: new movies, but follows it up with a recap of a great theater experience. We then talk about other things we've watched (and making guesses about upcoming seasons of The Pitt) before talking about sports frustrations and fast food recommendations.

  • Mad Max (1979)

    Mad Max (1979)
    2026/04/14
    We're headed down under this week to watch the original Mad Max and learn things, like: Max is a cop?! After sharing our histories with Mad Max (and how this movie is most likely new to both of us), we compare it to Fury Road and discuss how we watched Mad Max as a prequel. Joey shares research on the emergency room and gas shortage origins for this story, we talk about how the creativity and talent overcame the miniscule budget, and we discuss George Miller's aims: to create a silent movie with sound, car action meets horror, and "a Western in new clothes." We look up the Mad Max timeline to make sense of when and where we are. Joey shares a thing that unsettled him; Joe praises some "redneck ingenuity." For a change, we give credit to the people who make the Fast & Furious movies. Also: did Saw steal from this movie?!

  • So let me tell you about Cuba. | Life in the Fast Lane #67

    So let me tell you about Cuba. | Life in the Fast Lane #67
    2026/04/07
    It's time for Life in the Fast Lane, for Vin Diesel to tell us about Cuba. First, though, is the Tokyo Drift Minute, which once again shows we have no grasp of how long these races take. (Also: how long will the world's longest runway scene take for us to cover?) Then, Vin has been busy on Instagram, including penning some LONG posts - and accidentally tapping into a new feature. Are we 1 year, 11 months away from... an extinction-level event? Ludacris has us worried. (Also: Get your guesses in for The Rock's screentime in Fast Forever! Time is running out.) Vin teases a story about him and Charlize from the 90s (we need to know more!), and he continues to test the audience appetite for returning characters. We explore the credits of Michael Lesslie, the new screenwriter for Fast Forever, which also leads us to a new theory for @ReactionRocket's identity. Joe talks about the Broadway adaptation of Dog Day Afternoon, we briefly talk about Ready or Not 2 and Project Hail Mary, and Joey talks about fantasy baseball and real baseball Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠family@cageclub.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Show your support at the 2 Fast 2 Forever shop⁠⁠⁠⁠!Extra special shout-out to Alex Elonen, Brian Rodriguez (High School Slumber Party), Lane Middleton, Jason Rainey, Wes Hampton, Josh Buckley (Whole Lotta Wolves), Michael Moser, Terra New One, Aaron Woloszyn, and Randy Carter for joining at the “Interpol’s Most Wanted” level or above!Intro music by Nico Vasilo.

  • The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift (Lap 16)

    The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift (Lap 16)
    2026/03/31
    The “mad scientist” behind 2 Fast 2 Gekido, Michael Krukar, joins us to hit the streets of Japan for The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift! After hearing about Michael’s history with the franchise (and his thoughts about its future), he floors us by answering the Hobbs screentime question in a brand new way. We then share new thoughts on Tokyo Drift, like whether Han is the Dom of this particular racing scene, a new vision of the Family’s happy ending, and our “Twinkie turnaround.” Michael injects a bit of anime into the Fastiverse, which ties into an observation by Joey and Wes’s automancer theory. We talk about the tasteful inclusion of the Karate Kid, the film’s many father figures, and which franchise would be best-suited to a Fast and Furious crossover (including many horror options). Michael pitches a Logan-like movie called Toretto.

    A Cinematic Way to Describe the Impact of This Toy | Life in the Fast Lane #66
    2026/03/24
    It's time for Life in the Fast Lane, which features a cinematic way to describe the impact of this toy. First, though, it's the Tokyo Drift Minute, which features another full minute of the drift race and a mystery snack in Han's hands. We then Run the VIN to return to Bear Country with the Arbor King in tow, and where we read a bit of the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots script from Vin Diesel's screen. Hector is back?! Joe buys a prize for the "Hobbs Screentime" guessing game, another intrepid explorer writes in about starting the 2F2F journey, and we talk about the Oscars (and the Chalamet of it all). Joey talks about some how to win the lottery podcast stuff. We talk about Kyler Murray, Opening Day, and Konnor Griffin.

  • Death Race 2000 (1975)

    Death Race 2000 (1975)
    2026/03/17
    After talking about Roger Corman's filmography throughout the podcast, we're finally covering one he produced: Death Race 2000! After Joey shares his way of making movies (both good and bad) and his star-making lineage, we talk about the lack of specifics found in Death Race 2000's dystopian landscape, and ask: what's the right balance between backstory and movie? We have more questions, too, like: How does the scoring system work? And: Why would you ever leave your home? We talk about the Frankenstein vs. Mr. President showdown, a Looney Tunes-esque fake tunnel (!), and our favorite kills. We wonder: is there any chance that the Jason Statham / Tyrese remake is any good?
