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. 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.

S3E2. Just “Italian Job” - It’s Cleaner

Happy Thanksgiving to all! On this episode, we'll be discussing the 2003 film The Italian Job, a film of dubious connection to the Fast & Furious franchise but with plenty of F&F DNA to decode nonetheless. Depending on how you interpret a line of Deckard Shaw's in the film Hobbs and Shaw, this might be an actual bona fide entry in the Fast & Furious franchise, but you'll have to listen in order to hear our full breakdown and opinions on how this movie could or could not fit in with the rest of the FFuniverse. And make sure you stick around after the credits roll for some discussion about a currently relevant (in a first for us) and recently released movie as well. We hope you enjoy, and from our family to yours, we are so thankful to you for listening!

S3E1. The Fast and the Furious - The Drift Racer and Grogu

We're very excited to be back for another season, and we've got an exciting premiere episode for you all. We're finally tackling the one movie everyone has been waiting for-- The Fast and the Furious! That's right... the 1954 one. This season, we'll be discussing the roots and beginnings of the franchise from every angle, so it only made sense to start with the namesake. And we seriously did not expect there to be nearly as much connective tissue as there turned out to be. We've also got a B-side to this episode, where we discuss some bombshell news about the future of the franchise and the development of the next film, so there's a lot to dig into in this premiere. Welcome, one and all, to Season 3-- In Reverse: Start Line!

This time, we will be presenting for you a piece of lost media, the never-completed sequel to the 2003 film The Italian Job. Featuring new original music by brother of the show and previous guest David, and with an ensemble voice cast of whichever of Zach's friends were willing to be good sports, we've put together an audio drama sure to captivate and delight! A huge thank you to our special guests, Zach's friends Max, Ike, Ariella, Miriam, and returning guest Jon! And now, without further ado, In Reverse proudly presents the lost movie of the franchise...

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!
