    S3E5. Point(s) Break - Of Street and Screen

    Welcome back to In Reverse: Start Line! This episode is our Point Break episode, of course, in which we'll analyze both the original Point Break (1991) and the reboot (2015). The similarities between Point Break (1991) and The Fast and the Furious (2001) are often cited, so in our exploration of the origins of the franchise, it only felt right to include these two. We'll compare and contrast them with each other, of course, and with The Fast and the Furious (2001). But before we even get to that-- there's exciting franchise news! We didn't want to keep you waiting, of course, so we open up this episode discussing all the exciting new details about the future of the franchise and its 25th anniversary celebration. It's a fairly packed episode to welcome you back from the mid-season break-- enjoy! Note: Spoiler block in this episode is from 01:21:53 - 01:35:46. If you want to avoid spoiler discussion you can use the chapter marker (if your player supports it) or just scrub to the latter timestamp.

    S3E4. Last xXxMas - The End of the Xander Zone

    Merry xXx'mas, all! Can you believe this is the third one of these we've done? For better or for worse, this is our third xXx'mas, and it's still just as hard to find information about these films without surfacing pornography as it was when we first started. This episode, we're talking about the film that started the Xander Zone, 2002's xXx. Watching this movie was an eye-opening experience in far more ways than we anticipated, and so this episode we've prepared for you is a fun and exciting holiday special-- filled with twists, turns, trivia, and revelations! We've got cocktails, we've got mix-em-ups, we've got bits and skits galore! So everyone, strap on your snowboards, grab your Xander Cage-branded energy drinks-- and then cozy up to that xXx'mas fire, and prepare to be whisked away to the Xander Zone... one last time.

    S3E3. Days of Thunder & Donnie Brasco - We Used to Make Movies

    This episode, we're going all the way back to the original pitch that Paul Walker made to Rob Cohen for what would become The Fast and the Furious: "Days of Thunder meets Donnie Brasco." So, we've gone and watched both of those films, and they're a little different from the ones we usually watch on this show... For one thing, they're not in any way connected to the Fast franchise outside of that initial idea, and for another, we actually recommend you watch these movies for a change! So in light of that, we've dispensed with most of our usual recounting of the plot of the films, and instead focused for most of the episode on spoiler-free analysis of how these movies inform the The Fast and the Furious (2001). We hope you'll join us in watching both of these, and we hope you'll appreciate what turned out to be a fascinating lense through which to view the very beginning of the Fast franchise. Note: Spoiler block in this episode is from 00:47:38 - 01:05:39.

    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!
