2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast Joey Lewandowski and Joe Two

It’s time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and we have a conundrum on our hands: Tanner is Bilkins. Bilkins is Tanner. First, though, voting is now open for the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame! Vote now. We’ll wait.
Done? Great! We break down the first deleted scene from 2 Fast 2 Furious and catch an error of unknown origin. We also talk about who Bilkins would have fallen in love with, if he knew Brian’s experience first-hand.
We add a new segment — Running the VIN — and cover more news, including Shark Week and NBCUniversal’s Donna Langley weighing in on the future of the franchise.
A very high-ranking government official (allegedly) comments on one of our YouTube videos. Joe talks about a zoo outpost, tacos, and board games. Joey talks about movies and stand-up comedy specials.

We're on a real roll with "child reading a book" movies this lap, and today we're talking about Labyrinth with Jordan Polan-Clarke! After Joey shares his surprising (at least to him) history with this movie, we discover we have a split opinion on David Bowie's music in this movie. We talk about Labyrinth's strong use of the color brown, discuss whether the movie and its performances are "too theater-y," and pitch an alternate version of this movie with Bowie's character in the real world. We ask: could Labyrinth be "more Jim Henson" than it is? Could we succeed in a life spent in a costume/puppetry rig? Which of today's pop stars would star in a remake? Jordan talks about a famous juggler. We admire some stairs.

Walt Hickey and Kim Bhasin return to the podcast to talk about Fast & Furious 6 because "this is London, baby." After learning one (and only one) train fact, we discuss the most '80s thing in any Fast & Furious movie. We talk about Fast & Furious 6 as a pivot point for the franchise, cars being used in new ways, and a ton of time spent in hideouts. Walt hits us with many D&D-themed elements and Kim does the same with wrestling moments. Joe wonders if there's any security at 1327 (like, at all). Walt dares talk about physics in the Fastiverse. Joey has a thought no one has ever had about a particular line from Hobbs. Kim comes to terms with the fact that this franchise never calls anything back. Walt gives advice on what to do if you run into a wrestler in the wild and offers criticisms of the film's score. We talk about Furya (will it shoot this summer, for real?) and Kim waxes poetic about Riddick (2013).

It's time to finish up 2 Fast 2 Furious in the F&F Minute as we cover the rest of the film's credits! We give them 19 thumbs up, 0 thumbs down. In covering "a minute" without audio, we parse the credits order/character split and explore some notable names in the credits.
We pivot to one of the most important On the Streets segments in months, including: rough production dates for Fast Xi (and where it will take place), why Universal is freaking out about the future of the franchise, the disaster of Dwayne Johnson's Red One, the announcement of Riddick: Furya, Vin Diesel as Kojak (?), the new Hollywood Drift rollercoaster, and Gibseyhana's hiring practices.
Joe sets Vegas odds for the number of remaining F&F movies. We explore what degrees the family may have. Terra shares a heartwarming story about a stolen bicycle. Joe talks about his globetrotting adventures and Joey talks about more movies and Balatro.

Fan favorite Garrett Smith returns to the podcast as we cover our next 80s Cult Classic movie: The NeverEnding Story! After talking about our history (or lack thereof) with this movie -- and our shared history of taping movies off TV -- we talk about how this movie haunted kid-aged Garrett. Joe makes a request to bring back making movies inspired by hallucinogens. We discuss the German version of this movie, the one change the writer absolutely hated, and the physical puppets and effects in this movie. We pick our Most 80s Moment (featuring a lap-first exemption), talk about the elements that Stranger Things borrowed (stole) from this movie, and find ourselves in awe of the Empress. Joey makes Garrett talk about The Nothing. We wonder: is it worth exploring other movies in the series? Would kids today like this movie?

We need two precision drivers, so Walt Hickey and Kim Bhasin return to the podcast once again as we head back to Rio de Janeiro to talk about Fast Five! After honoring Walt for the 2F2F history that he set, we talk about the movie's Most 80s Moment, which is a more difficult task than any other movie so far this lap. We discuss the sweat in this movie (and the smell in all movies), admire the train heist (and the movie's other big setpieces), and talk about the prominence of Mia in both the plot and the heist. We analyze Hobbs's late arrival, Dwayne Johnson's newfound reliance on swearing, and the many career leaps he's made. Kim shares his most wrestling moment, Walt shares his most D&D moment, and they combine to surprise us with a new segment. We admire Brian's unusual mental money math, pinpoint the pivot moment for "family," and debate how much money is the right amount of money to get from a heist. Kim goes to the charts! We talk about Dom Toretto vs. Danny Ocean (re: trustworthiness), speculate about Roman's failed garage, and tease a few new cinematic crossovers. Walt discusses the literal bodily changes he tracked while watching this movie.
