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-...

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 Fam...

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 ...

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?...

It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane and a discussion about The Arbor King... Groot... Doomsday. We kick off with Minute 30 from Tokyo Drift, featuring cutting-edge flip phone technology! (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...

Dr. Alicia Kozma returns to the podcast to talk about her favorite film in the franchise: Fast & Furious 6! She shares her thoughts on (and expectations for) Fast Forever. We launch a new game -- how much screentime will The Rock get in Fast Forever? -- and also a new segment, which features controversy from the very onset. Why did Roman become the "big head" butt of the joke in this movie, out of nowhere? We discuss. Alicia sh...

We're back with another installment of Life in the Fast Lane, this one featured in The Gold Zone, Hosted by Scott Hanson. First up is the Tokyo Drift Minute (#29), which introduces us to Exceedingly Handsome Guy and two Cowgirls. (Any real racer knows EHG is on our Mount Rushmore of the most important Tokyo Drift characters.) Do we need a wellness check for Vin? He's made no posts on VINstagram! We cover lots of Fast-adjacent news:...

Fan favorite Garrett Smith returns to the podcast to make us a three-man team, trekking across the jungle, and talking about Sorcerer! After sharing the crazy backstory behind this movie (and admiring the equally crazy filmmaking of William Friedkin), we talk about how stressful Sorcerer is -- even if you've seen it before. We talk about the story of four doomed men, the incredible Tangerine Dream score, and an era of guys filming ...

Welcome to the FAST FOREVER era! Always remember the immortal words of Vin Diesel: “And a legacy… lasts Forever.” After discussing what a “Forever” lap could look like, we then move to the Tokyo Drift Minute to discuss the knowledge gap in Twinkie’s mind between art and cars. We then Run the VIN to get some Fast Forever promo and to discuss the rise of “Vin Fake News” among our listeners. When will Bad Bunny join the Fast Family? W...

We're joined by Ben Fritz of the Wall Street Journal to talk all about Fast Five and the future of the franchise! After talking about his beat at the WSJ, what he covers, and how he started writing about entertainment, we ask what he thinks the future will hold for the Fast franchise. We discuss the creative and financial imperatives at stake, how much money a movie needs to make to be "successful," and how the business plan for Fa...

It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and Vin Diesel has one message for you: Happy Birthday, America... Before we figure out what that's all about, we tackle the Tokyo Drift Minute, which features some of the film's most iconic lines as well as a new showdown: Morimoto vs. Neela? We Run the VIN for another light session... but calendars and time are subjective to Vin Diesel, so does this cadence even matter? Tyrese enters t...

We're hitting the road to talk about Duel, Steven Spielberg's first film, and we're joined by Mark Hofmeyer! After learning more Mark lore, we talk about the evolution of Duel from TV movie to full-length feature, the history of rye bread, and how impressive the filmmaking is in this film (on every level). Which Fast and Furious character would do the best in this situation? Mark quizzes us. We talk about how the whole film feels v...

It's time for Life in the Fast Lane (about Make-Up Oscars?) and a bit of a twist on our normal episode format. We start, as usual, in the Tokyo Drift Minute to explore new nicknames, including perhaps more implied racism? (Or: maybe not.) We then Run the VIN to find only one image, but in keeping up with historical precedent, Vin is once again in full-on campaign mode (and also again not looking at the right camera). Could Vin Dies...

We're joined by Jeanette Ward to talk about Fast & Furious! And, as a bit of a bonus, about Los Bandoleros as well! After we find out what Jeanette likes to see in her big-budget action films (and what she dislikes), we talk about this movie as the first "true" sequel to the original and her thoughts on Los Bandoleros. She shares her rankings (and a new take on No Knees Denise). Who were people rooting for when this movie came out:...

It's time for our final episode of the year, and our final Life in the Fast Lane! Don't worry: "I can see something beautiful, cinematic." After covering a Tokyo Drift minute that features a deep dive into the career of Brian Tee (and a new nickname for DK?), we head over to Instagram to Run the VIN, where we notice a series of photos where he's looking at a different camera than the one that took the photo he posted. We then ask: ...

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...

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 re...

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 P...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
