Our final 80s Cult Movie lap pit stop is Willow (1988), which seems to be the crown jewel of a genre we have discovered this lap! After learning what Joe knows about the Willow-verse, we encounter a shocking turn of events for Crazy Credits and then explore the cinematic and story trends that have surfaced this lap. We talk about dogs in costumes and horny pigs, Val Kilmer's charm (both in the film and in real life) and his improvisation on set, and how Chris Claremont (yes, that Chris Claremont) ruined this franchise for many fans. We talk about Willow being, essentially, Snow White x Moses. We see the hero's journey on full display. We talk about the Wilhelm Scream.

Fast X is our final Fast & Furious movie this lap and our final episode (at least for now) with Walt Hickey and Kim Bhasin! Also joining us is Brian Rodriguez (Coastal Grand Bros), who is pulling double duty as both guest and our unofficial producer.
After Joey falls down another physical media rabbit hole, Walt and Kim share a train fact that is close to Joey’s heart (in a way). We discuss the current status of the franchise, what will happen at the start of the next movie, Jason Momoa as Dante, and “Bargain Bin Pat McAfee.”
We make our picks for the Most 80s (and Most 90s… and Most 2000s??) Moment before Kim shares his Most Wrestling Moment (and a list of wrestlers using their actual finishers in films) and Walt shares his Most D&D Moment (which impacts the future of the franchise).
We ask: do the Torettos’ neighbors like them, at all? Is Eteon an insurance company? What is the Toretto family legacy? What is the world’s awareness level of the family?
Kim breaks Walt. Walt makes another plea for Vin Diesel’s Hannibal movie. Brian tries to pivot our podcast. Kim plugs a story, which has an amazing real-life update since we recorded.

It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane, which has some wondering: WHAT IS THIS IRRITATING DECEPTION? First, though, we have an important live event announcement! Then, we cover the final 2F2F deleted scene, which is very violent! Joe pitches the idea for Severance, but in real life. We debunk a Vinstagram conspiracy and use technology to decipher Vin's t-shirt logo (kind of). We open a great mailbag filled with YouTube comments of various qualities, episode feedback, and more great emails. We wonder: is there an "upstate" California? We position the Fastiverse in the LA28 Olympics and talk about the family's favorite Olympic games. We share updates in Extracurricular Activities, including new movie and trash TV recommendations.

We welcome Heather Antos back to the show to help us take our first foray into Star Wars -- a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away -- with the logical starting point: Ewoks: The Battle for Endor!
We share nostalgia for watching movies this on TV with (what we would now consider) vintage commercials and talk about how this movie exists at a pivot point in film technology.
Joe has lots of questions, like: Do kids still have adventure? Are Ewoks the predecessors to Minions? What's worse: sharing a bedroom or becoming an orphan? Minions? MINIONS???
Heather shares in-universe answers about our Star Wars questions, but also imparts important lessons about its lore. We ask: is this a happy ending?

Walt Hickey and Kim Bhasin join us once again to talk about F9 with a big ask: stop giving us details! ("If they're explaining, they're losing.") After years of watching this movie, Joey is finally happy that the flashbacks are set in 1989 (as it nicely fits into our 80s Cult Movies lap). Joe shares the name for this movie in Japan and Kim shares a train fact. We talk about the two separate timelines, whether it works to give Dom a brother this late into the franchise, and why people seem to hate the Fast and Furious. We get Kim and Walt's picks for the most wrestling and D&D moments and discuss how they watch these movies. Would you rather take a Pontiac Fiero or a Boeing Starliner to space? Is it Project Ares or Project Aries? Walt talks about history being made in F9. We look ahead to "The Randy Cut" and the complications this movie brings that endeavor. Walt suggests a new way to watch the Fast and Furious movies. Kim wonders: why are prisons in this universe so poorly guarded?

We've collected our very own Hobbs & Shaw -- Walt Hickey and Kim Bhasin -- to talk about their titular film with "the worst title ever"? (If you agree with Walt and think this title is bad, just wait for Joey's idea for a sequel title.) We get a long overdue train fact before learning how Walt and Kim view Hobbs & Shaw with regards to the rest of the franchise. We talk about the film as a form of "brand activation" and discuss the career of Dwayne Johnson, Movie Star, including how he compares to Arnold Schwarzenegger and where he goes from here. We discuss the Most 80s Moment in a movie that feels like it was written in that decade. Kim swerves on his Most Wrestling Moment and delineates between garages and hideouts. Walt picks his Most D&D Moment and wonders about the ultimate moral of the franchise. We wonder: why do movies encourage people to take on unbeatable opponents?

It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane as we cover yet another action-packed (just kidding) extended scene from 2 Fast 2 Furious, this one staring TyB Island as Roman Pearce. We realize how long it will take to cover Tokyo Drift in our current Minute format and then take a brief detour to talk about the Olympics, Raygun, and the sports that the U.S. should dominate in international play. We Run the VIN to ask if Suki is returning and to discover even more fake/new names for Fast and Furious movies. We share an update on Randy's ambitious edit project and talk about deep-fried PB&Js and the Mystery Spot. Joe talks about traveling around America. Joey compares Trap to Old.

The saying goes, “There can only be one.” There will only be one Highlander movie we cover, and Aaron Neuwirth is here to help! There’s so much Highlander out there — five movies and six seasons of a TV show, plus a rumored reboot — and we all share what little we know of the franchise.
We sort out: what is a Highlander, exactly? We admire the truly wild arrival of Sean Connery (as a man named Ramirez, from Egypt, naturally) and the movie’s steadfast refusal to explain its own plot or mythology.
We make our picks for the film’s most 80s moments. Aaron shows off how much he knows about Clancy Brown’s filmography. We talk about how Highlander’s ending shows off big Madame Web energy. Joey debuts a new game.

It’s time again for Life in the Fast Lane, but first, we’ve got to take our Night run, with glasses. Haha. Even before that, though, we cover a truly nothing of a deleted scene, but Joe finds a way to make it interesting (even though, in doing so, it would make 2 Fast 2 Furious a completely different movie). We discuss the end of the Paul Walter Hauser/Vin Diesel beef (although whether Vin Diesel even knew about it is unclear) before moving into the most prolific Running the VIN segment yet (by far) (with an interesting Suki-related post getting relegated to the next installment). A new Vin persona enters the chat. We come up with a new idea for the release of Fast X. We get an all-time great You freaking tube comment, an exciting fan project update, and some really good long emails. We spend a long time talking about the MCU, at which point we implore you to listen to X is for Podcast.

The "unnicknamed" Walt Hickey and Kim Bhasin return to the podcast as we hack and fly our way through The Fate of the Furious! It's been four weeks since our last train fact, so we scratch that itch before discussing how this movie begins to show the cracks behind the scenes. We wonder where F. Gary Gray is in this movie and our two New York resident guests weigh in on the NYC geography in The Fate of the Furious. Joey has a question about sex appeal in the franchise. Walt breaks down Hobbs's soccer strategies. Joe asks about the "Tay Tay" situation. Kim shares the most wrestling moment and Walt shares the most D&D moment. We miss an opportunity to call out Dom for "daddy jacking" the movie. Does Cipher have long-term plans for Dom? Why are we seeing so much technology and hacking in movies today? What's the Most 80s Moment? Could you live in Elena's prison nook? Is Dom... not fully human?
