  • S2E12. Turbo Charged - 2 Los 2 Bandoleros

    At long last, we've arrived at the final episode of this, our "2 Second 2 Season." This season we've discussed the many sequels and reinventions of the Fast and Furious film series, and in this finale we arrive at Turbo Charged, the short-film prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious and the first piece of Fast & Furious canon to follow the original film. But that wasn't qute enough for a season finale, so we've got some additional exciting stuff for you all this time! We also discuss the music of the franchise and the music it inspired, do a bit of a dive into some of the car-focused ancillary content around these films, and finally bring it all to a close with some (unexpected) late-breaking news about the upcoming final film.

    Once again, we'd like to thank all of you for following along and listening, it means a lot that there are people enjoying what we do. We're going to take a brief hiatus, and we'll be back soon with more In Reverse!

              • S2E11. 2 Fast 2 Florida

                Well, here we are in Florida, with the penultimate episode of our 2 Second 2 Season, in which we discuss the first ever Fast & Furious sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious. And as you'll hear on the episode, we recorded this on location in South Florida! This turned out to be a very Floridian episode about a very uniquely Floridian movie, so boy are we glad we took the opportunity. More like 2 Fast 2 Florida, amirite gamers? Anyway, this episode takes some twists and turns, so buckle up and get ready to Act a Fool!

                    • S2E10. Los Bandoleros - Aw Lugnuts, My Orb!

                      This episode, we're discussing the 2009 short film "Los Bandoleros," which serves as a prelude to the film "Fast & Furious" discussed last episode. This is to-date Vin Diesel's one and only contribution to the Fast & Furious franchise as writer and director, so we really dive into what we can learn about his vision for Fast & Furious from this 20 minute short film. But it's not the only "short film" discussed this episode. If you watched Super Bowl LIX, or maybe if Mark Zuckerberg's algorithms recently decided you were part of the target demographic for expensive ice cream, you may have seen the other one we're talking about this week too. We hope you slow down and join us for a taste this episode!

                                This episode, we're discussing the 2009 film Fast & Furious, the fourth film in the franchise and the one which happens to share a name with the broader franchise. This movie is a legacy sequel, a return to form, a huge tonal shift, and a soft reboot of the whole damn franchise. There’s what to dig into here, so buckle up! It's mostly about drug trafficking and grief, but also Car Detectives. There's lots to unpack here, so come join us at Dommy Diesel's Driving Dojo for Dangerous Dudes!

                                    As promised, we're back this episode to discuss the Vin Diesel vehicle (wink) and 2009 videogame, Wheelman, developed and published by Midway Games. You'll never believe this one, but in this videogame, you play as Vin Diesel's character as he drives cars really fast, does spy stuff, and engage in violence both vehicular and bodily as you endeavor to stop the deployment of a nation-ending superweapon. Hope you're excited to hear all about Wheelman, a game we actually played in order to bring you this episode. Join us as we journey into- the Midverse!

Just a short week after last week's very spooky special, we're here to bring you another thematically appropriate episode for Election Day-- we're talking about the next Fast & Furious film in our order, xXx: State of the Union! There are some strong feelings in this one, and some themes and ideas worth talking about, which is not at all what we expected from a movie with a reputation like this one. You should listen, of course, but you should also probably watch this movie. Also, you should vote. It's Election Day, dammit! Get your ass to the polls!
