• Dashing Through the Snow (2023)
    2025/12/23
    Merry Christmas! We've set a very low bar with holiday movies on this podcast, but Ludacris is here to save the day with Dashing Through the Snow! Well, to be fair, he doesn't seem like he wants to be in this movie, but at least Lil Rel Howery does. After Joey details the true lack of background and trivia, we talk about the unique angles (both in terms of story and lore) that this movie takes before talking about a Christmas movie and belief conundrum. We write the sequel to this movie, explore the world of streaming finances, and imagine streamers' big boards of "content to create." Joey points out what Joe imagines "people who like Christmas" look like. We talk about "movies to wrap presents to," whether a dog is far too big of a gift for Santa to give, and other Christmas movies we could watch. Is Joe... becoming less of a Grinch? We explore.

  • The French Connection (1971)
    2025/12/16
    We're making up for a long-time oversight on the podcast by finally watching The French Connection, starring Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider! After exploring the historical context of 1971 films (and which Best Picture winners we've covered on the podcast), we turn our appreciation toward a thing that influenced so many on-screen car chases, cop movies, and The Wire. We talk about how our podcast keeps crossing over with fast food restaurants, how The French Connection captures the griminess of 1970s Brooklyn and subways and real locations (and real bars), and how William Friedkin seems hellbent on showing actual illicit activities on-screen. Joe admires chemistry glass Joey breaks down *the* on-screen car chase. We talk about how the film is like Fast Five.

  • Speaking of hall of fame… | Life in the Fast Lane #59
    2025/12/09
    Speaking of hall of fame... it's time for another Life in the Fast Lane! There is so much we have to cover. First up, the Tokyo Drift Minute, which sets up a techno-divide and allows us the opportunity to take a dive deep into Nathalie Kelley's life. (She loves fungi!) We Run the VIN again to see another near hostage situation, a new title for the next Fast film, an ode to Dwayne (or is it?), and a massively edited love letter to Paul on the anniversary of his death. We recover some YouTube and Spotify comments before exploring the asexuality of Hobbs and the Vin-fueled history of Riddick: Furya. We get new rankings and a new order in which to watch the movies, based on hospitals. Joe plugs Turbos for Tots.

  • 2 Fast 2 Furious (Lap 16)
    2025/12/02
    We're headed back to Miami, bruh, to talk about 2 Fast 2 Furious with Sax Boy Billy! After talking about how Sax Boy Billy wound up on the podcast, we talk about his history with the Fastiverse, what kinds of movies he likes the most, and how he expected to see Vin Diesel in 2 Fast 2 Furious -- and got Tyrese instead. We talk about Vin Diesel's appearances in video games, how Tej Parker pays for his seemingly extravagant Miami lifestyle, and how feasible the use of NOS is, in reality. Joey wishes for an alternate timeline of movies starring Brian and Bilkins, while Joe asks: is this the most "classic car" Fast? Will Dom have to defeat a Waymo? We discuss. We also talk about whether newer/modern Roman would give up the money at the end of this movie.

  • Dom state of mind... | Life in the Fast Lane #58
    2025/11/25
    We've got that Dom state of mind... on today's Life in the Fast Lane as we cover our first Tokyo Drift Minute in quite a while! We ask: does Neela have a song, and who are the "Tea Hair" characters? Then, we Run the VIN and find an entire monologue he edited out of a post. What do Tom Cruise and Vin Diesel think of one another? Do they take each other's calls? Wes writes in a couple of emails, which leads us to discuss why Jason Statham's popularity has persisted, as well as the odds the Fast Finale is the best Fast film so far. We talk about Stephen King adaptations, Pluribus, and other things we're watching.

  • Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)
    2025/11/18
    We're covering Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in this lap's first pit stop, and finally taking care of some much overdo business, such as: making Rachel happy by finally watching and talking about this movie. After discussing the (many) connections this movie has to James Bond (and the production's goal to simply make another Mary Poppins and to "out-Disney Disney"), Joe shares what he thought of this musical. We ask: does this story make any sense (and does it matter if not?)? (Also: why do we start with so many Grand Prix races?) We talk about movie characters who can think they can fly (and also movies with quicksand in them), how much we appreciate Dick Van Dyke, and kids' ways of selectively watching movies. We talk about how (surprisingly!) F&F-coded Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is, the movie's hard pivot (The Wizard of Oz style) into becoming a fantasy story, and the nightmare fuel of the Child Catcher.

  • The cars are the stars... ain’t that the truth... | Life in the Fast Lane #57
    2025/11/11
    It's our first Life in the Fast Lane in a while, but one thing remains the same: The cars are the stars... ain’t that the truth... After skipping the Tokyo Drift Minute (because there is so much else to talk about!), we cover a record-breaking 26 posts by Vin Diesel's VINstagram. In doing so, we notice that another movie has entered Vin's promo rotation and he's begun embellishing in a new style/format, but one thing remains the same: integrity. We read through Ben Fritz's article in the WSJ about the murky future of the franchise and learn that we sell pins. All throughout, Joey shares more details from Barry Hertz's book. We talk about sports and new release movies. Joey got married.

  • The Fast and the Furious (Lap 16)
    2025/11/04
    We’re back and kicking off Lap 16 with Barry Hertz (author of Welcome to the Family: The Explosive Story Behind Fast & Furious, the Blockbusters that Supercharged the World) to talk about The Fast and the Furious! (We cannot stress this enough: buy Barry’s book!) We ask Barry if writing the book changed his thoughts about the franchise before we share our latest theories and thoughts with him and ask about our long-held theories. We discuss the future state of the franchise, the “worst-case scenario” he could have encountered while writing, and where he wants to see the franchise go next. Will Brian come back? Should he come back? Does anyone want him back? We discuss. Barry shares alternate endings to Fast X (which are far more exciting than what we got). We talk about why a lower budget is not a bad thing. Barry shares his history with the franchise. Joey has a new theory about the head of Eteon and a related spinoff movie he wants to see. We put some respect on Matt Schulze’s name and ask why Jesse judges a book (car) by its cover (model). Joe realizes just how close 1/3/27 really is. Barry makes history in the character quiz.
