Fast Five (Lap 14)

2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

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.
