We’re headed back to a very early “car” movie to talk about John Ford’s stagecoach with the help of Tobin Addington! After Joey bullies Joe into voting for the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame (and you can, too!), we discuss the historical context of Stagecoach: it’s the movie that legitimized the Western genre and inspired filmmakers for decades to come, and also the movie that turned both John Wayne and John Ford into stars. Joe sha...

We’ve got a jam-packed Life in the Fast Lane today, including an all-time quote: “in my mind, you, Vin, were born in Cannes.” – Thierry Frémaux – Vin Diesel. First, we start with a Tokyo Drift Minute that could have been filled with so much detail! But, alas. Still, we find some good stuff, Joe gives us a Japanese history lesson, and Joey talks about Wim Wenders’ film Perfect Days. A reminder: voting is still open for the 2 Fast 2 ...

Jordan Polan-Clarke returns to the show to talk about The Fate of the Furious… and the future of the franchise! After we acknowledge the vast shift in the F&F landscape since we last recorded – and remind you that voting is still open for the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame – we turn our focus to the Fate of the Furious (and Jordan’s journey through the franchise).
Is this the least Fast and Furious movie so far? How much do the wom...

It’s time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and while the Vinstagram may be quiet, don’t worry: The Rock is here to tell us that We Rock Lavalavas, We Rock Skirts. We start, as always, with the Tokyo Drift minute, which features a very cinematic schoolday from Justin Lin and a question about the timeline of Tokyo Drift: when are we saying it happened? A PSA: voting for the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame is now open, and it features...

We're headed back to the wasteland for Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior! Our first order of business: making sense of the title variants. After discussing where this fits into the Mad Max chronology, we talk about the many things that Fast and Furious lifted from this movie (including a look back at past Fast & Furious Minute documents!). We explore the lore and fan theories that Mad Max 2 created, admire the film's many deaths (and the...

It’s time for Life in the Fast Lane, and we come bearing a good news update: there’s no need for a wellness check. First, though, we see Sean square off against Major Boswell in a sparse Tokyo Drift minute that reminds us of how we watched (and tracked) these minutes when we first started. Then, we talk about some new movie announcements in our orbit, as there’s no real Fast & Furious news. We also explore (and debunk) some Fast & ...

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'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 a...

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, a...

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-...

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 Fam...

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?!

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?...

(Can we buy those phones?) We then make a triumphant return to Run the VIN, with nine (!) posts! Vin is in (nearly) full-blown Fast Forever mode, but we also learn things like: he's a twin and his dad is from Oakland? In the news roundup, V...
