Ep 9 - Hobbs and Shaw is Art
OK, so it's been a really long while. After a ten-month hiatus, we're back at it with a discussion on The Fast and The Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw! We skipped the commentary track this time around because we ate through the film and, let's be honest, that wouldn't have sounded good. But we do talk a little bit before watching the film and discuss it more in-depth after! Also, Rob was using his phone to record and couldn't look things up, so get ready for lots of errors, such as confusing James Wan and Justin Lin, forgetting Tyrese Gibson's name, and... forgetting the name of Laverne and Shirley?

Ep 7B - Furious 7 Watch Along!

Note: This is for the extended edition of Furious 7. Watching the theatrical version of the film will cause the watch-along to fall out of sync.
Ep 7 - Furious 7 is Art
This week we're talking about Furious 7, the 2015 entry in the Fast Franchise! Dan and Rob kick off the episode with a few minutes just prior to their viewing (check out episode 7b for the watch-along) and then jump ahead to moments after they finished the film!
Ep 6B - Fast & Furious 6 Watch Along!
Want to watch Fast & Furious 6 with Dan and Rob? Well, now you can!
Note: This is for the extended edition of Fast & Furious 6. Watching the theatrical version of the film will cause the watch along to fall out of sync.
Ep 6 - Fast & Furious 6 is Art
It's been a while since our last episode, but we're back and ready to dive into the world of Fast & Furious 6!
Ep 5B - Fast Five Watch Along!
For Fast Five we decided to try something different! Since Dan was in town we decided to watch Fast Five together, and it only took a few minutes before we thought "You know what? Maybe we should record this." What follows is our watch of Fast Five for the latest episode of the podcast. It's not really a MST3K-style commentary, but it is packed with Dan's genuine reactions from his first viewing of the film! Since we are talking over the film at points, it's probably best to listen to this after you've already seen the movie once.
Also, since it was thrown together pretty last second, it's not the most polished watch-along track. If we do decide to do more in the future, they'll probably be better, we promise. It's worth highlighting that this is a watch-along for the Fast Five Extended Edition. If you watch the theatrical cut it will slowly fall out of sync.
Ep 5 - Fast Five is Art
It's here! It's our Avengers moment! This week we're discussing 2011's Fast Five and the rails that the franchise is going off of!
If you want to watch along, our next episode will focus on the 2013 movie, "Fast & Furious 6"!

Ep 3 - Tokyo Drift is Art
Our journey through the Fast franchise continues this week with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. It's often considered the low point in the F&F franchise. Today Rob and Dan discuss its pros and cons as we head towards the "new" era of F&F! In this episode, we also briefly discuss the unofficial origin story of Han, Better Luck Tomorrow, also directed by Justin Lin.
