Speaker 2: So in two thousand and one, we have the film
Speaker 2: Fast and Furious that comes out and it's new We
Speaker 2: hadn't seen anything like this with it doing the car
Speaker 2: thing before. So I want to go around the room
Speaker 2: as you watched it this time. I'll start with you, Mike,
Speaker 2: because I think you said it was your first time
Speaker 2: watching it. What were your overall thoughts?
Speaker 3: How did this become a thing? This was ridiculously stupid?
Speaker 1: Ridiculously stupid? Kid? What'd you think about it? Watching it?
Speaker 1: It holds up? I like it and don't bother me.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of y'all. I liked it a
Speaker 2: lot more of feel like when it came out. But
Speaker 2: then I'm watching it this time around and I'm thinking, like,
Speaker 2: how did the fuck did they make ten of these?
Speaker 2: I mean, is it even more than ten? I thought
Speaker 2: there was more than ten. I thought there was like fifteen.
Speaker 1: It may be even more than ten.
Speaker 2: So look at the results of the pole. Oh okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2: I want to read the pole results before we get
Speaker 2: deep into it. As far as where everything finished, this
Speaker 2: time we had labornith labyrinith.
Speaker 1: Library. What is not? Are you doing some purpose? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What labyrinth?
Speaker 3: And why are you not here? Did you hear what this?
Speaker 3: Did you hear what he just said?
Speaker 1: How words? To Spike.
Speaker 4: Not like that, not like that?
Speaker 3: What did you say? He wrote?
Speaker 2: Labyrinth, Claborn, Labor, Labor, Labyrinth, Labyrinth.
Speaker 3: You've never heard of or seen Labyrinth.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what that is? What is it?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's a classic. It's got David Bowie.
Speaker 3: The girl loses to her little I can't feels her
Speaker 3: baby brother, just the kids she was babysitting, and it
Speaker 3: ends up in this other world. It's great.
Speaker 1: I never heard of it. Oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: the first time.
Speaker 2: Is Elaven Fasten for his movies more than ten?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So, uh that had sixteen percent. Fast and Furious two
Speaker 2: thousand and one had thirty one percent, Jungle Fever had
Speaker 2: nineteen percent, The Nutting Professor had twenty four percent. And
Speaker 2: apparently nobody wants to see us watch The Devil Loves
Speaker 2: or Devil Wears it had ten percent?
Speaker 1: Wait, what number was that?
Speaker 2: At Devil Wears product? It was only ten percent? It
Speaker 2: was less. Okay, so we thought y'all may have wanted
Speaker 2: us to see that, but obviously, so let's get into
Speaker 2: this two thousand and one film a right again. Y'all
Speaker 2: said that y'all didn't looking at it overall this time,
Speaker 2: y'all didn't did y'all get franchise vibes?
Speaker 1: She said, you didn't get franchise, Babs.
Speaker 3: I didn't under when I was watching it. I was
Speaker 3: just annoyed because I watched it on the plane back.
Speaker 1: Okay, that was efficient.
Speaker 3: I specifically was like, I've never seen this movie. I don't.
Speaker 3: I was coming back to Atlanta on Saturday, and I
Speaker 3: was like, I don't want to try to or Friday,
Speaker 3: I mean, and I was like, I don't want to
Speaker 3: try to cram this movie in. So yeah, I downloaded
Speaker 3: and watched it on the plane. I had to pay
Speaker 3: four dollars for this motherfucker. I think I deserve three
Speaker 3: ninety eight back. This was awful and I was stuck
Speaker 3: in the middle seat, so both people on the side
Speaker 3: of me, I haven't see me watching this bullshit. Why
Speaker 3: it's awful?
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: The acting is garbage. Scenarios are garbage. It's Point Break.
Speaker 1: Hasn't I've seen Point Break? You think it's Point Break?
Speaker 3: It's the same movie. It's the same movie. Guy who's
Speaker 3: a cop pretends to be this, you know, part of
Speaker 3: this group. He befriends the leader of the group, he
Speaker 3: gets into the group, and then by the end he
Speaker 3: has to reveal that he's a cop, but they're also
Speaker 3: kind of friends. It's like, this is just point break
Speaker 3: but made with cars. Okay, all right, it was really
Speaker 3: weird to me. They should just called an auto break.
Speaker 3: I was. I was really confused by this.
Speaker 2: I was confused by again having seen it when it
Speaker 2: came out. I've only seen two, maybe three of these.
Speaker 2: I stopped after three. That was enough for me, And
Speaker 2: looking at this one made me understand why I stopped
Speaker 2: after three. I was like, what what did they keep
Speaker 2: making these about?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What was the cool thing? Was it the cars? Is
Speaker 2: it car culture?
Speaker 1: Car culture?
Speaker 4: Like it's made it's tailor made for fifo. Yeah, he
Speaker 4: loves these cars. They speak his language. He knows all
Speaker 4: the nasse and a C and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: That's real.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all this stuff is real. And I think, uh,
Speaker 4: video card games were popular, Grand Tarismo and all that
Speaker 4: stuff was popular. So it's it's a very easily digestible movie.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like Midnight Club video game, but a movie. Yeah, god, yeah,
Speaker 2: have you heard of Midnight Club? Is essentially a video
Speaker 2: game with the same premise. You get a call you
Speaker 2: do racist, you soup up the car. Okay, people spend
Speaker 2: hours playing it, just like souping up their car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to do that.
Speaker 4: Spend not midnight club something now, some other racing game
Speaker 4: that I used to spend stupid hours playing.
Speaker 1: Fun that I regret. It was like I ain't get
Speaker 1: shit out of it, but I was young.
Speaker 2: So all right, So we get this movie with him
Speaker 2: hanging around this little sandwich shop him, I'm saying, Paul Walker.
Speaker 2: I think his name was Brian O'Connor. Yeah, Broan O'Connor,
Speaker 2: and Brian O'Connor is kind of hanging around. They don't
Speaker 2: like him hanging around. He has a crush on the
Speaker 2: lady behind the bar. It gives me a tune of
Speaker 2: salad meal. This opening work for you guys. As far
Speaker 2: as him being it looks like he's scouting because he's
Speaker 2: a police, we don't know that yet. Vin Diesel's character
Speaker 2: doesn't like him. Nobody likes him and wants him around. However,
Speaker 2: he finds a way to stay around by racing. So
Speaker 2: as he's getting set up doing the whole thing prior
Speaker 2: to him learning undercover, just jump out that you think
Speaker 2: it was interesting that all can.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they you know, Vin Diesel's character
Speaker 4: Don was sort of this mob boss figure, and I
Speaker 4: think they did a good job of making it work
Speaker 4: with like one of the members in the crew. Again,
Speaker 4: this is very stereotypical average storytelling. But the friction is
Speaker 4: the guy that we later found out also had a
Speaker 4: crush on him, so that's why he was jealous. So
Speaker 4: they knew it was weird that he was hanging around
Speaker 4: because they were like, according to them, the tuna isn't
Speaker 4: that good. And I think even Brian O'Connor and Mia
Speaker 4: also said that, so why the fuck are you here?
Speaker 4: So him being attracted to her could work because that's
Speaker 4: an angle that we didn't suspect.
Speaker 1: You like my sister.
Speaker 4: He likes her, That's why he's around, not trying to
Speaker 4: infiltrate our operation.
Speaker 1: But Mike, did you have anything on it? I didn't
Speaker 1: give a fuck about. So they are they do.
Speaker 2: They're actively robbing eighteen Willis, So there is something to
Speaker 2: be The movie open with that. Yeah, movie opens with
Speaker 2: that there are there is something to be careful about
Speaker 2: in letting newcomers in because you don't want it to
Speaker 2: get out.
Speaker 1: As far as what your crew is doing.
Speaker 4: I was done after the openings in because it really
Speaker 4: preposterous for people to rob okay.
Speaker 3: Because y'all got these fancy, nice ass cars and you're
Speaker 3: robbing a truck full of fucking DVD players. If just
Speaker 3: one of your cars got fucked up during this operation,
Speaker 3: you got to sell all those DVD players to replace
Speaker 3: your car. You have a fucking rocket launcher with a
Speaker 3: harpoon on it. Where you even get.
Speaker 1: That, So you're right, you are still thinking about it
Speaker 1: too hard.
Speaker 3: I am. I know, I.
Speaker 4: Don't feelly disagree with you, but also I think the
Speaker 4: way they're able to afford the cars is through that.
Speaker 4: So and I don't know how much in two thousand
Speaker 4: and one of those DVD players were going for.
Speaker 3: True, that was a long time ago. Some ships were
Speaker 3: probably kind of expensive, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is kind of ridiculous.
Speaker 4: You're Robin naighteen Willers, So I mean, I you know,
Speaker 4: in that way, Yeah, there's no.
Speaker 3: Better way, Like that's a lot of work.
Speaker 4: But I think if anything highlighted how stupid the cops were,
Speaker 4: because those are easily you can easily describe them. So yeah,
Speaker 4: they could probably go pay them, you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it was a green ass damn car, that lime green car.
Speaker 2: But they only use those cars for Jack moves, right, okay,
Speaker 2: And they kind of had an idea, that's why they
Speaker 2: sent Brian in. They kind of thought it was them anyway,
Speaker 2: I'm assuming.
Speaker 4: We'll find out who they bought a harpoon and by spears.
Speaker 1: Facts, all that shit was so.
Speaker 2: So Dom comes and takes control after Brider's get his butt.
Speaker 2: But did y'all like, did.
Speaker 1: He it was even?
Speaker 3: I thought it was kind of even Stephen?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought so, all right, did y'all how you
Speaker 2: gonna work? Did y'all like Dom's character? Did y'all like
Speaker 2: Vin Diesel? Because this is kind of what made him
Speaker 2: a star. And I'm with micause I was watching this
Speaker 2: with twenty twenty six eyes. I'm like, man, this acting
Speaker 2: is god awful. But this is what blewed Vin Diesel
Speaker 2: was for some reason.
Speaker 3: Because he was a hot, you know, built serious kind
Speaker 3: of guy. Back then. It was a wrestler, right, Vin Diesel?
Speaker 1: What did they do before this?
Speaker 3: I thought he was like a thesbian. I thought he
Speaker 3: was like a serious Really, someone told me that, and
Speaker 3: I just never I probably got that. I thought someone
Speaker 3: told me that I just never bothered to look it up.
Speaker 3: But something like a friend of mine told me that
Speaker 3: he was like in like play plays, you know, like
Speaker 3: Shakespearean played.
Speaker 1: I wonder if she was with me.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna looking at it, well, kend Vin Diesel hit
Speaker 2: for you. Did you think this was a good role
Speaker 2: for him? Obviously blew him up. Did you like him
Speaker 2: in this?
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm?
Speaker 4: Uh, I mean he was fine. It's I don't really
Speaker 4: expect a lot of superb acting from Vin Diesel anyway,
Speaker 4: So uh, he was fine. I mean you know this, Yeah,
Speaker 4: he was all right. Bro, I'm he I guess he's
Speaker 4: not a wrestler. Think about the.
Speaker 3: Probably yeah, I kind of sort of look alike Vin
Speaker 3: Diesel looks like Multiverse Rocke really fucked up Multiverse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Vin Diesel born Mark Sinclair has a deep connection to
Speaker 3: theater and the acting arts, and has often been recognized
Speaker 3: for his theatrical roots.
Speaker 4: It must have been in everything before this. And maybe
Speaker 4: he just did this because the role didn't.
Speaker 3: Recall and it paid him good money.
Speaker 4: Because he did Pitch Black. I remember Pitch Black. I
Speaker 4: think that was kind of one of the ones too,
Speaker 4: because I don't remember him in the Iron Giant.
Speaker 1: He was the voice of the Iron Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Knew that, That's what I'm saying. I don't think Vin
Speaker 3: Diesel is necessarily a bad actor. He's just acts in
Speaker 3: bad movies. And the thing about this at this point,
Speaker 3: he knows what brings dollars in. If Vin Diesel was
Speaker 3: in a romantic drama, no one would go see it,
Speaker 3: but I bet you he'd kill it.
Speaker 1: Who's the Vin Diesel of today? The Rock? No, the
Speaker 1: Rock from our jen Like, oh is he? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I would say he's kind of on the sure if
Speaker 4: there's a Vin Diesel.
Speaker 3: That's just kind of known for action movies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like that's because Ben Diesel is not this. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that that's just known for acting movie.
Speaker 1: Do they have one? Is it? Jason Momore?
Speaker 4: He could be it, but I would put him close
Speaker 4: to the Rock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was more rock vibes, just not.
Speaker 4: Good you just in the movie. Like I'm thinking Jason Statum,
Speaker 4: but I think he's kind of a little carryover from
Speaker 4: our gen as well. Jason Statum is more like uh,
Speaker 4: Young Clow and Damn Ship.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we don't have to spend much.
Speaker 3: That's a good question.
Speaker 1: I don't know though, asked Nick, he'll you know right now?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: So for the first race, we get to well, we
Speaker 2: find out that O'Connor is a cop by him getting
Speaker 2: arrested and them going through this whole thing and taking him,
Speaker 2: uh back to the preceint way that he learns about Well,
Speaker 2: we learned about the whole ring and how they're investigating them, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1: Did he give out cop vibes like early in the movie.
Speaker 1: He definitely gave them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, like I was still fooled when he was, Like,
Speaker 3: I didn't know immediately that I think Zach Morris over
Speaker 3: here is a cop even you just you just pop
Speaker 3: up at a place well bad people for like a
Speaker 3: gang frequency and you knew there, and like they never
Speaker 3: see you there, but you keep coming back.
Speaker 1: It screams police.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, police is the only thing that made sense,
Speaker 3: because I mean he wasn't really like trying to go
Speaker 3: at the girl that hard, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's too clean cut, too pretty, Like what are
Speaker 1: you doing around here?
Speaker 2: So he definitely gave cop vibes And we get the
Speaker 2: verification and then we go to he needs money for
Speaker 2: to soup up his car for the race. We get
Speaker 2: to the race, surprised to see John Rue.
Speaker 1: I forgot. I forgot he was in it to Spike.
Speaker 2: And this was like at the height of it.
Speaker 3: I was so embarrassed for him.
Speaker 1: He was so bad.
Speaker 3: He's so popular, and that's why he turned down the
Speaker 3: rest of the movies. And that's why Ludacris jumped.
Speaker 1: In another h Terrence.
Speaker 4: How I was wondering when I was watching it was like,
Speaker 4: what happened to Joe Ruling these?
Speaker 1: I forgot the story.
Speaker 3: The only reason I even know is because when I
Speaker 3: saw Joe r was like, oh, I forgot he was
Speaker 3: a part of this franchise, and I was like, wait
Speaker 3: a minute, No, I thought it was Ludacris. So I
Speaker 3: was like, was Ludacris and Joe ruling this? So I
Speaker 3: went and looked it up and I read a whole
Speaker 3: article about how Joe Rule thought he was so popular
Speaker 3: because apparently John Singleton did one of these.
Speaker 4: I didn't, And that was what the article.
Speaker 3: Was saying that John Singleton went to Joe Rule and
Speaker 3: John Rule was ignoring him, was just like not even
Speaker 3: returning his calls. So John Singleton was like, all right,
Speaker 3: well fuck this, and Ludacris and Lucas made millions off
Speaker 3: these movies, and John ruled in fucking Firefes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lua became almost probably more famous famous, use it.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: It kept him around because his music. He was still
Speaker 4: hot as a rapper. And then this ship fell off,
Speaker 4: but he was still doing these and he was good.
Speaker 1: And when did Tyres pop up? Oh? I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's a good question.
Speaker 2: These too, that's where he got up. Well, not all
Speaker 2: of his money, but he more. I remember Tank was
Speaker 2: joking on him, and.
Speaker 1: I got a question for y'all.
Speaker 4: Was that girl that said, if you win, you get
Speaker 4: these and if you also win, you get her over
Speaker 4: there too?
Speaker 1: Was she white?
Speaker 4: She was off white because she was like, fuck you, nigga,
Speaker 4: you to win.
Speaker 3: I felt a way about that too.
Speaker 2: She was like, Kim Kardashi whatever, they are so white?
Speaker 1: It was I didn't bother looking up. It was weird.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna assume she is some sort of Latina. That's
Speaker 3: usually my go to.
Speaker 1: That's what.
Speaker 3: They kind of look white, but they say nigga. I
Speaker 3: usually lean okay, they might just be Latina. She definitely
Speaker 3: wasn't black, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: And I was thinking about what Robbie saying all the time.
Speaker 4: So I was like, dang, did she get the past
Speaker 4: because she just around.
Speaker 3: I don't think they would put that in the movie.
Speaker 3: I would think they'd be smart enough to not do
Speaker 3: something like that. So they go through the whole racing scene.
Speaker 2: They do the whole thing, and he has the famous
Speaker 2: line you almost had me. You never had me almost,
Speaker 2: you never had your car, you had me, you never
Speaker 2: had me.
Speaker 3: Hit for your's cringe, citty dog almost had you.
Speaker 2: Bro Then he went into this whole car thing about
Speaker 2: when he used his noss and how he did this
Speaker 2: and collaborate double clutch.
Speaker 4: But there's another line out of here that's that's uh,
Speaker 4: whether you win by a mile or in a win
Speaker 4: is a win or something like that. I forgot the
Speaker 4: full quote. People will be saying that one.
Speaker 3: I bet, I bet Diddy says that with his little
Speaker 3: lass dick, if I went by an inch and still
Speaker 3: a win.
Speaker 2: So what did y'all think about Brian and me? Was
Speaker 2: that a was that enough of the to push this
Speaker 2: story along? That he liked her and that's the reason
Speaker 2: he was able to get down and even eventually broke
Speaker 2: the cold to being a police officer.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, as Ron said, there's always happened to
Speaker 4: be a love interest.
Speaker 1: So there's that. Uh, they did seem to be attracted.
Speaker 4: To one another, you know, I, you know, I they
Speaker 4: didn't really do a lot with this story and her
Speaker 4: being you know, them liking each other, because I did
Speaker 4: they even go on the date?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they did go on the one day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but she said I don't date my brother's friends.
Speaker 1: And then she went on a date with her brother's friend.
Speaker 4: As an attempt to make this God jealous or maybe
Speaker 4: because he was mad that God kept fucking with him.
Speaker 1: So but.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know if if they spent
Speaker 4: enough time here to fully develop him betraying his oath
Speaker 4: as a copy because to her to go along with.
Speaker 3: Him, I'll say, in no way, shape or for him.
Speaker 3: Did they make me believe that he gave up his cophood.
Speaker 2: For this for this woman? They didn't put it enough there.
Speaker 3: No, he should have fucking opened up an investigation into
Speaker 3: who stole her top lip. That's where this movie should
Speaker 3: have went. Did it fall off when she was racing?
Speaker 3: What was going on? They mean this, this whole love
Speaker 3: interest thing was just goofy. It didn't fit, and no
Speaker 3: point did I actually believe it.
Speaker 2: Mm, she didn't really so much she liked him like that,
Speaker 2: didn't She seemed very reserved, like she wasn't fucking with
Speaker 2: him at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because she's used to dudes. I mean you, first
Speaker 3: of all, you roll up in her shop, right, her
Speaker 3: sandwich shop, and you want to be a part of her,
Speaker 3: her brother's biker gang. And you decide, Yo, I want
Speaker 3: you to make me a tuna sandwich with no crust and.
Speaker 1: She can't even cook.
Speaker 3: Well that part too.
Speaker 1: You already know that, so you know if.
Speaker 3: I'm Vin Diesel, I'm like, you're the crust list tuna
Speaker 3: sandwich guy. No, you can't fucking race cars with us.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have me looking like a punk, right, No,
Speaker 3: better get you up a strawy joint like a man.
Speaker 2: What did y'all think about Johnny Tran as the villain?
Speaker 4: Was nothing?
Speaker 3: Guy in the fucking tight ass leopard pants. You don't
Speaker 3: get him out of here?
Speaker 2: Bro, I feel like I was.
Speaker 1: They showed an ass shot too, Mike. I was so lost.
Speaker 3: I was like, wait a minute, is this a Wayne's brother?
Speaker 3: Why y'all start on this man's tight ass, because it
Speaker 3: wasn't tight ass y'all. Why do you start with his
Speaker 3: ass and pan up? And why is he wearing the beds?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea. I wasn't even
Speaker 1: a villain.
Speaker 2: I think he was because they shot him.
Speaker 1: I think he was a villain.
Speaker 4: About Protzy bro, Well, he shot they shot up. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but but he did something stupid. He deserved to get shot.
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is that they presented him as
Speaker 4: the villain. But Dom was the villain of the movie.
Speaker 4: He wasna rob a motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think John was. We didn't see it.
Speaker 3: He was trying to hurt Dom in an.
Speaker 1: Only thing did was roll up and shoot shoot the car.
Speaker 1: That was kind of fucked up. It was up.
Speaker 3: But the fact that the fact that Zach Morris didn't
Speaker 3: get mashed it told you he was a cop. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you shot up his car and he.
Speaker 1: Was just like what he said, it's not his car
Speaker 1: anymore though, I.
Speaker 3: Know, but still that's his car. That was his car
Speaker 3: and you just rolled up and shot it up with
Speaker 3: a machine gun. He was just like, oh, man, Like,
Speaker 3: what was that old belt?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 3: He serious?
Speaker 1: We got a twenty mile twenty mile walks.
Speaker 4: Right, it's gonna take off forever to get there, twenty miles.
Speaker 3: You got money, just call a fucking cap.
Speaker 1: Wish they did, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the all they did was use him to say, hey,
Speaker 4: I did a bad business.
Speaker 1: Deal that went sour and I slept with his sister
Speaker 1: and that was it.
Speaker 4: We didn't see trying to do evil ship until the
Speaker 4: guy ran off with his car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're no. I think you're right. I think they
Speaker 3: just did.
Speaker 2: Portray presented him. Yeah, you're not wrong. You're just presented
Speaker 2: him in the way of like the bad guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you want to break down a movie and
Speaker 4: point out flaws this, you know we could do that.
Speaker 1: And yes, you no, I'm with you. Now.
Speaker 3: They didn't really do anything but make him Asian and
Speaker 3: make him just kind of mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it was a stereotypical, it was feeling in two
Speaker 2: thousand and one.
Speaker 3: But you know what, I'm actually glad because men, they
Speaker 3: had a lot of bad language in this film. I'm
Speaker 3: actually glad they didn't go around of like, you know,
Speaker 3: making him no karate well that too, or just making
Speaker 3: him a bad driver. I'm not making a joke. I
Speaker 3: was waiting for that like when they were like talking shit,
Speaker 3: I was waiting for them to be like, oh, you're Asian.
Speaker 3: This seemed like that tasteless.
Speaker 1: Of a movie. Not to go on this aside, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I had to do this. I was drin by
Speaker 1: an Asian person yesterday.
Speaker 4: No, I had a joke, but I ain't even saying
Speaker 4: but because I'm about to bro. I just finished the
Speaker 4: episode of The Sopranos where Tony b was setting up
Speaker 4: that fucking shop and they had that Asian dude in there. Bro,
Speaker 4: do you remember how Bro, it's just the racism in
Speaker 4: the show. It was the fifth season Spike, yes, where
Speaker 4: he was supposed to do this massage thing, and Tony
Speaker 4: got him a job working at some plant. And this
Speaker 4: guy had all of the races, poor broken language. It
Speaker 4: was so cringe. It was infuriating. And now I'm on
Speaker 4: the episode. I got to the episode. I didn't even
Speaker 4: want to push play because the title of the episode,
Speaker 4: Mike is Unidentified Black Males, And I can't even It's
Speaker 4: gonna take everything in me to watch this episode shown.
Speaker 2: You'll remember when he was trying to do the massage
Speaker 2: when his cousin came. He was trying to do the
Speaker 2: massage is what's his name, Steve will Meshmi.
Speaker 3: I don't I remember him being on the show.
Speaker 2: You know when he first got out of jail, he
Speaker 2: was trying to do right. He was working at the
Speaker 2: launder man.
Speaker 1: So he was he was trying to fix up this building.
Speaker 4: The guy wanted to go in business with him, and
Speaker 4: maybe you may remember the end, and then the guy came.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, Park, I think is the name.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we made We're close to opening.
Speaker 1: The guy whipped.
Speaker 4: He started whipping his ass and was drawing him in
Speaker 4: in the trying to choke him in the water, in
Speaker 4: the pool or something like that.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: The point is that this guy, the character was speaking
Speaker 4: so bad. This was the two thousands. Why does he
Speaker 4: have him speaking because.
Speaker 3: He's a racist piece?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, man, I was so like upset and

Speaker 2: to the reveal and the race with the train, because
Speaker 2: I don't feel like it's a lot to taste with
Speaker 2: the train at the end.
Speaker 4: Quarter train No, because you had the yeah, because I
Speaker 4: mean it's pretty much he okay. So the other thing
Speaker 4: of note, as he said he's a cop, he's a cop.
Speaker 1: He smelled like a cop.
Speaker 4: Where the guys came in to buy something and then
Speaker 4: he broke it to the garage and then he got
Speaker 4: hit upside the head and then dragged out.
Speaker 1: And Don was like, you a coup.
Speaker 4: You better have a really at this point you really
Speaker 4: need to think carefully about what you say. And the
Speaker 4: guy was saying he's a cop, and then he kind
Speaker 4: of gave some bullshit excuse and he fell forward.
Speaker 2: How did he get out of it because he said
Speaker 2: he just wanted to like him at that point.
Speaker 4: Now he said something about Tran was about to do
Speaker 4: this race. Yeah, and there were and there were engines
Speaker 4: missing in the cars or something like that.
Speaker 3: It was it was he said that Tran has three
Speaker 3: nas things or whatever. So he was he was kind
Speaker 3: of positioning like he was doing all of this to
Speaker 3: help Vin Diesel win the race. So now he knows
Speaker 3: what to prepare for.
Speaker 4: And we were saying that I can't lose the race,
Speaker 4: you know, I can't lose another race, and if he
Speaker 4: lose his race, I'm finished. So that's how he was
Speaker 4: kind of selling it and that's how he got out
Speaker 4: of it of it. So a guy's a white guy
Speaker 4: that you don't know that just happened to be in
Speaker 4: the right spot to save you from being arrested, which
Speaker 4: created a sense of loyalty because all your friends left you.
Speaker 4: First of all, you should have just dumped all the
Speaker 4: asses and uh. And then now he's snooping around your garage.
Speaker 4: He's like clean cut, white and you don't believe he's
Speaker 4: a cop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, oh, signs point to.
Speaker 4: Police off, Everything points to a cop, even when as
Speaker 4: we get to the end of the movie where he's
Speaker 4: at the end where he's in man, you know, I'm mad.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because then they did the they.
Speaker 4: Rated transpot and they didn't find shit because the DVD
Speaker 4: players were paid for. So he's a bad cop. And
Speaker 4: now it's clear that Dom's doing it. Yes, And that's
Speaker 4: when he was upset. He was like, hey, man, you
Speaker 4: know some scenees off with you. They having dinner, and
Speaker 4: he was like, I'm barely yeah, I'm barely able to
Speaker 4: con force my bills and you're making all this money
Speaker 4: and you paid for this car and I know you
Speaker 4: didn't do that sailing sandwiches and.
Speaker 1: You know, whatever he was doing, I won't end.
Speaker 4: And he believed him after even though I liked the movie,
Speaker 4: but after you called him and you think.
Speaker 3: He's a cop, and Diesel dumb as hell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way he infiltrated this game was ridiculous, very
Speaker 2: much ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Almost as ridiculous as what's the what's the what's his girlfriend?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, what's Ben Diesel's Girlfriend's name?
Speaker 1: Oh Leddy.
Speaker 3: She's one of the worst actors I've ever seen. How
Speaker 3: how does she keep getting rolls after this because she's
Speaker 3: in a lot of stuff, She's in a lot of
Speaker 3: ship and she has one face. She's like Nicole Kidman
Speaker 3: post plastic surgery, so she has no emotion even when
Speaker 3: she's happy. She's getting beat up, even she they were
Speaker 3: dragging her out of the car and she's all blood. It
Speaker 3: was the same fucking face in every movie she's saw,
Speaker 3: Michelle Rodriguez. I think it's yeah, she's so bad, she's
Speaker 3: so Oh.
Speaker 1: There was another shot when he picked her up.
Speaker 4: They showed vin diesel hairs going to grab her by
Speaker 4: ass and lift her up.
Speaker 3: I was like, if y'all don't stop with this, and
Speaker 3: she's got the same face.
Speaker 4: But yeah, so yeah, that's all that happened. And yeah,
Speaker 4: and they were trying to point out that Jesse was
Speaker 4: this real smart guy with a d D.
Speaker 1: But it was great in math and failed everything else.
Speaker 3: He was the only character.
Speaker 2: I was a mechanic, right, Yeah, I liked it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was cool.
Speaker 3: But when he decided he was gonna go race his cars, like,
Speaker 3: what are you doing? Where is this going? You're stupid? No,
Speaker 3: he motherfucker took off, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was another cute moment. He ran away.
Speaker 3: That said on the rest of the movie, I'm believe it.
Speaker 3: And he wasn't even driving that fast. He just drove
Speaker 3: off casually.
Speaker 4: Get my car.
Speaker 2: So after though, what happens to Jesse, Brian has to
Speaker 2: eventually admit that he's a cop.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they're gonna go the same Jesse, They're gonna
Speaker 4: go rob the eighteen Willis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's trying to get medical attention to this one.
Speaker 2: Van Dizel finds out because he calls it in and
Speaker 2: he's like, gotta mail down, shot in the arm and
Speaker 2: this that and earlier.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he told mea because they were about to go
Speaker 4: right the trucks. No, he did. And what they had
Speaker 4: with the FBI people was like, look, they're gonna start
Speaker 4: taking matters to their own hands, and they sure damn did.
Speaker 4: But yes, he never He was like, Mia, where are
Speaker 4: they going? Where are they going?
Speaker 1: You're calp Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Oh Jesus Christ, dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then and for her to die out her brother.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why would you expect. See, that's why this movie
Speaker 3: was bad to me. They didn't give us enough time
Speaker 3: with him and Mia for us to believed that he
Speaker 3: was so bonded with her that she would die on
Speaker 3: her own brother to you know. But nah, this was
Speaker 3: this was this was whack. But yeah, the next wait, which.
Speaker 4: This is now that there So there's this whole scene
Speaker 4: of the truck, the eighteen wheeler and them shooting, and
Speaker 4: then we're the guy getting yes all of this because
Speaker 4: now he's gonna have to call in he's get stuck
Speaker 4: in the arm.
Speaker 3: I thought that was actually kind of creative. When Vince
Speaker 3: jumped on the truck and then got his arm all
Speaker 3: tangled up, I was like, Okay, this is actually kind
Speaker 3: of interesting. And then the dude in the truck had
Speaker 3: like a fucking shotgun off shotgun. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: this is still stupid, but this part is actually a
Speaker 3: little compelling because I was like, how are y'all going
Speaker 3: to get out of this? That motherfucker in the truck.
Speaker 1: He wasn't going.
Speaker 3: That motherfucker was dripping off from his prime. It was
Speaker 3: not because he wasn't going for none of his bullshit.
Speaker 3: He was ready to kill for that truck. But he
Speaker 3: shot Vince on the side, and I was like, oh shit.
Speaker 3: The only issue I had is I wish they would
Speaker 3: have created someone other than Jesse as a sympathetic character
Speaker 3: because there I didn't care if Vince died. Vince was
Speaker 3: an asshole. He called him the f slur in the
Speaker 3: first three minutes of the movie.
Speaker 1: He couldn't wait, he could not wait.
Speaker 3: He was waiting for somebody called somebody that in about
Speaker 3: a full hour. But yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But yeah, like it just I don't though. I wish
Speaker 3: there was somebody else that they liked, so I would
Speaker 3: have been like, oh no, but it was Vince.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was Vince.
Speaker 3: But nah, that whole scene because that truck he took out,
Speaker 3: he took out Vince, he took out whatever the fuck
Speaker 3: Leeddy flipped her whole shit over. But the other issue,
Speaker 3: I was like, this goes back to just like the
Speaker 3: other movie we just talked about. He shot out Vin
Speaker 3: Diesel's tire going, the car kept going. That's a bad motherfucker, bro,
Speaker 3: Because Vin Diesel pulled off for a second, I thought
Speaker 3: he was done. Next thing, you know, Ben Diesel's backing again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh the one move.
Speaker 4: And I think I would try some stupid like this
Speaker 4: when she drove the thing. I would try something. You
Speaker 4: could time it. If you're time it right, you could
Speaker 4: do it. You can right, Yeah, bro, they did it
Speaker 4: in the movie.
Speaker 3: I think I could do it too. Yeah, go ahead,
Speaker 3: letst know how that works out.
Speaker 1: But I swear I was like, yeah, you can do that.
Speaker 3: That ship was not cool. It was and they stole it.
Speaker 3: Did you ever see Gleaming the cube? Yes, Brian as well.
Speaker 3: He went he went under the truck on the skateboard.
Speaker 1: That ship was hard.
Speaker 3: That motherfucker. I thought I could do that, but I.
Speaker 4: Was fucking thirteen.
Speaker 6: I was like, Yo, if I'm ever on the interstate board,
Speaker 6: you can go on to the truck, all right.
Speaker 2: So we get to the end. He tells him it's
Speaker 2: a quarter mile to that track up there. This was ridiculous.
Speaker 3: This is the longest quarter mile I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: My quarter out of that track up there. I think
Speaker 2: I could make it. And then they do the whole
Speaker 2: race stage. Both of them barely make it by the
Speaker 2: train and the fucking truck pulls out.
Speaker 1: It's Ben Diesels called hilarious.
Speaker 3: That was hilarious, Like what are y'all doing with this movie?
Speaker 1: The car that he loved, He had just pulled that
Speaker 1: thing out of.
Speaker 3: The shop that was his daddy's car.
Speaker 1: Wasn't it. Yeah, he was telling this old story about it.
Speaker 3: I don't even draw this car because my dad was
Speaker 3: hit by a call and I beat somebody to the
Speaker 3: guys brain damage had to go.
Speaker 1: To Jui and then he got hit by car. He said,
Speaker 1: I'm never going back.
Speaker 4: I'll die before I go back, which is this was
Speaker 4: supposed to be like if you don't make it, he
Speaker 4: just sacrificed himself.
Speaker 1: Because he don't want to go back to jail.
Speaker 2: Is that realistic to Brian gives him the keys and
Speaker 2: let him ride up.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I liked it though, I like I like many.
Speaker 4: Because he had developed a relationship with barely Yeah, so
Speaker 4: and uh and and that was it. And what they
Speaker 4: did was in this scene they used Jetsey to turn
Speaker 4: Train into the villain when when he murdered Jesse, now
Speaker 4: they can it's stupid when we talk it out, but
Speaker 4: and probably was stupid. Then trans the villain and he
Speaker 4: killed fucking Tran. So now Tran can go to jail
Speaker 4: or his crew can go to jail for murder. They're
Speaker 4: taking off the street. But the people that were robbing
Speaker 4: the fucking trailers, you did not arrest them. You ask
Speaker 4: no matter of fact, let him go and bring him in.
Speaker 4: And all of the other people that is in his
Speaker 4: crew are also m I A and not arrested as well.
Speaker 4: So and then they damned just stole the drive I
Speaker 4: seen from fucking boys in the because just needed the
Speaker 4: saxophones and some of van Diesel doing this panther crawl
Speaker 4: on the ground that didn't get shot, and and Vince
Speaker 4: got Jesse got lit up.
Speaker 1: We were like, I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: Vince, I fucked up. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 4: Got about to get your ass out of the street,
Speaker 4: off the sidewalk. Bro, you don't hear the motorcycles motorcycles allowed?
Speaker 4: I know you hear themers coming? Who drives motorcycles in
Speaker 4: the city. Try nobody's dubbed, like what are you talking about?
Speaker 4: But you know, the whole race thing was because did
Speaker 4: he beat him?
Speaker 1: Did Brian beat him?
Speaker 2: They got the same time at the train looked at
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 1: Because it was supposed to be this all sort of
Speaker 1: rematch thing. Yeah, whoever loses.
Speaker 4: What I thought was stupid though, was Brian you a
Speaker 4: fucking cop? Let his ass run over there. Here's the
Speaker 4: part where okay, I understand I'm talking into the issues
Speaker 4: with the movie. I still like the movie, and I
Speaker 4: like the ending because I liked he got he.
Speaker 1: Let him get away.
Speaker 4: But if you're gonna let him get away, why there
Speaker 4: you trying to beat him over the tracks where you
Speaker 4: could possibly die.
Speaker 1: Just lett him fucking go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he could have told him at the will Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: do that little cool stretch of a quarter mile. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna let you out of here. I'm going on about
Speaker 2: my business and we're done. Yeah, he beat him in
Speaker 2: the race, I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was chasing him and you know, the train
Speaker 4: came and I can't you know, he beat me to
Speaker 4: the train and I didn't want to run into the train,
Speaker 4: and that's what he's gone.
Speaker 1: But at the same so and that's it.
Speaker 4: But overall, I think it functions as an action movie
Speaker 4: with racing. I don't know if this was like the
Speaker 4: first of his kind of was me, but it was.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 4: It was a huge thing, and it's just from here. Yeah, whoa,
Speaker 4: it got crazy. Yeah, they start doing all kind of shit.
Speaker 4: But thirty eight million dollar budget made two hundred and
Speaker 4: seven mil.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason why Let's watch eleven of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh, and you know Paul Walker eventually died. No,
Speaker 4: a couple of movies like, yeah, that's that's that's it man,
Speaker 4: Fast and Furious. Man, we're gonna do them all.
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm good.
Speaker 2: I think it was like somebody some girl been there.
Speaker 3: He jumps out of the car, and oh I saw
Speaker 3: that the car. I was like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1: Because I was like, y'all you start questioning.
Speaker 3: I'm actually curious about it too, because I'm just like,
Speaker 3: how did you bring this back for a second movie?
Speaker 1: And how is he still a cop?
Speaker 2: Because the one that I looked at accidentally he was
Speaker 2: still a cop.
Speaker 3: Well that was because the other cops don't know that
Speaker 3: he let vinde. He can just say Vin Diesel stole
Speaker 3: his car and took off. I just couldn't believe they
Speaker 3: ended it that way. You don't like that though, No,
Speaker 3: he just walked away. I was like, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: what the fuck is going on? I knew. I was like,
Speaker 3: has to be a post credit scene. This is well
Speaker 3: before Marvel. So did Fast and Furious creat the post
Speaker 3: credit scene.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think there was one.
Speaker 3: There is a folk I'm being seried there's a post
Speaker 3: credit scene it's Ben Diesel in his car and he's
Speaker 3: driving and he says some shit like what's the earlier.
Speaker 3: I swear to God, I'm not lying you.
Speaker 1: I believe you.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm seeing it on Wiki. He's driving in Baja California.
Speaker 3: Mexico, and he says something like, uh, I just need
Speaker 3: my fifteen seconds and I'm happy, or something like that.
Speaker 3: That's the same thing Spike saying his girl everybody, because
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: That's I think him and that's what he told Michelle Rodriguez.
Speaker 4: They were I think he was gonna take her there,
Speaker 4: something like that.
Speaker 1: And somewhere in the movie, and I remember earlier in.
Speaker 3: The movie they were talking and he says like I
Speaker 3: feel something like I feel the most free when I'm
Speaker 3: on the road. I just need that fifteen seconds, like
Speaker 3: relating his happiness to racing. And then it shows him
Speaker 3: in Brian's car driving through Baja and then it ends,
Speaker 3: and I was like, you seriously made me fast forward
Speaker 3: through all the credits for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't watch that. Damn.
Speaker 3: This was gobbage, y'all. But I am curious about you.
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm sure it's a classic. I am
Speaker 3: curious to watch too. I don't think I'm going to.
Speaker 1: I think we should.
Speaker 3: I'm just curious about how they continue to because it's
Speaker 3: just like, this was such a basic ass story. How
Speaker 3: do you build onto this and.
Speaker 2: Make eleven more of them?
Speaker 4: Yees?
Speaker 3: Do they explain where John went? Did he get his
Speaker 3: menoja menoja?
Speaker 1: Yo?
Speaker 2: That has been the review for our friends per second
Speaker 2: podcast on Fast and Furious. We appreciate y'all that we
Speaker 2: out peace
