  • Striking Distance (1993)

    Striking Distance (1993)
    Jun 17 2025
    Shout-out to the 412 — we’re covering Striking Distance this week in honor of Pittsburgh. After finally explaining the pick and why we’re covering it now, Joe reviews the movie’s Pittsburgh bona fides. We discuss Bruce Willis as Tom Hardy, Sarah Jessica Parker as “a baddie,” and Tom Sizemore as the film’s most egregious red herring. We break down the elements here that work (and the ones that don’t), the tumultuous making of this movie, and the killer’s illogical frame job on Bruce Willis. We try to make sense of the silly twists and turns in its final act and the film’s many red herrings and misdirects. Joe laments something we’ve lost in modern action movies. Joey notices a reckless disregard for the toxic nature of Pittsburgh river water. We watch the misleading trailer for Striking Distance and stumble across a really bad movie. Who’s the best cop now?

  • ... Great Value Theatrical Experience ... | Life in the Fast Lane #49

    ... Great Value Theatrical Experience ... | Life in the Fast Lane #49
    Jun 10 2025
    It's time for a ... Great Value Theatrical Experience ... in Life in the Fast Lane #49! We start off by discussing Tokyo Drift's fifteenth minute, with a deep dive into "Woman at Boswell's Apartment," played by Yoko Maki. We then move on to the news, including: is Fast X Part 2 actually about to start filming? The Rock is teaming up with A24 once again; who gets more from this partnership? We talk about some early reactions to Joseph Kosinski's F1, then Run the Vin to ask: did Vin steal some of Nico's verbiage? What does Vin Diesel think *we* think about Fast & Furious vs. Mission: Impossible? Is there a Vin Diesel "panic button" at the security gate at Universal Studios? Joe sets betting odds on the next F&F movie that will be released, but if it's Dos Bandoleros... where will we be able to see it? We review the IMDb goofs for The Fate of the Furious, which is perhaps our nerdiest batch yet. Who's on the submarine with Gisele? We get rankings -- and a brand new take on No Knees Denise! -- from a new listener. We talk (spoiler-free) about The Rehearsal's second season, BBQs, and movies in theaters.

  • The Fate of the Furious (Lap 15)

    The Fate of the Furious (Lap 15)
    Jun 3 2025
    We welcome Alex Steed (You Are Good: A Feelings Podcast About Movies) to the show to talk about The Fate of the Furious! We learn about Alex's history (from afar) with the Fastiverse, which leads to an immediate question: where'd that baby come from? We talk about how the movies exist in a time and place where driving is still a centerpiece of culture. We ask: as a more casual Fast fan, how did Dom against the family work for him? (Also, really, whose baby is that?) Alex talks about why action movies don't work for him, but also why he likes the Fast and Furious and Mission: Impossible movies. We compare F&F to M:I and pitch F&F as a courtroom drama. (Who are the lawyers? Are they prosecution or defense?) Has Taylor Swift seen this movie? Did Letty and Cipher do Cuban Pilates together? We recommend more F&F movies for Alex to check out, including one to help him learn where baby from.

  • Megalopolis (2024)

    Megalopolis (2024)
    May 27 2025
    We pledge allegiance to our human family, and to all the species that we protect, and to Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis! Joining us is Mark Hofmeyer (Movies, Films & Flix). First, we must begin by apologizing how hard this is to find and watch -- we explain why. We work our way through the twisted history of Megalopolis and Coppola's history of bankrupting himself for his artistic visions -- and what was different this time around. Mark asks: is this a weekend philosopher film? We don't really talk about the plot, and instead ask: which Fast and Furious character would have a bow? Which character would we try to stop time for? Joe talks about how this was a a "no mom" production. We gush about Nathalie Emmanuel as the standout -- and not just because she plays Ramsey. Mark shares a thought on the line "concrete and steel are safe."

    You Sign Your Mother's Day Painting with That Name? | Life in the Fast Lane #48
    May 20 2025
    It’s time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and at long last, we’ve made it: today is the seventh. It’s Tokyo Drift Minute #14, and it’s time to explore who Major Boswell (Brian Goodman) is. Also: Joe has a new thought on the seventh debate. Also: the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame voting is now open! Vote here. We Run the VIN and discover that he’s made ten new posts in the past two weeks… he’s back, baby! We ask: how does Vin text with his friends? What name does he make his mother call him? Joe makes bold guesses about upcoming Fast films. We ask: will we get a Han and Gisele wedding scene in the next film? Can you still buy Surge? You sign your Mother’s Day painting with that name? Joe talks about seeing an illusionist, while Joey talks about The Pitt, Balatro, and the Final Destination movies.

  • D.E.B.S. (2004)

    D.E.B.S. (2004)
    May 13 2025
    Leesa Charlotte (Sweetbitter Podcast) returns to the show to talk about Jordana Brewster and Devon Aoki in D.E.B.S.! After Lisa gives us a brief history of gay cinema, Joey talks about Holland Taylor in Bosom Buddies. We admire Jordana Brewster as the villainous Lucy Diamond (especially her lip syncing scene) in a role that finally lets her have fun, and we equally admire Devon Aoki's ability to... be French and smoke cigarettes. We talk about the hidden test within the SAT, the Jordana Brewster/Jimmi Simpson dynamic, and the Toretto-esque cop and criminal love story. We make our picks for our favorite spy tech in the movie and ask an Australian about Lucy's plan to destroy Australia (which pivots into talk about Australia in movies and TV, which in turn pivots into talk about LOST and The Leftovers). We then turn out focus to the Fast & Furious: A Musical Parody that we all saw in the past week. We talk about why we evaluate it differently than most people, what we liked and what we wished was different, and why they decided to portray Roman the way they did.

  • Please... #FuelFest | Life in the Fast Lane #47

    Please... #FuelFest | Life in the Fast Lane #47
    May 6 2025
    It's time for another Fast Lane, and this one comes with potentially lore-changing implications. Please... We kick things off as Joey messes up -- and catches himself -- and then messes up again -- and doesn't notice until he edited the episode. Joe tells a story about accidental Pittsburgh pride in Tokyo. We confirm a long-suspected mystery about Tokyo Drift and talk about The Smashing Machine trailer. Then, we get to the big thing: did Vin Diesel's Instagram posts finally get him in trouble? We reflect on BDWHAPFY and the IMDb goofs from Furious 7 and talk about whether Deckard run nitro meth. Joe lets us know what kind of cat he is. We talk about The Pitt (only vague light spoilers), the trips we took recently, and the NFL Draft.
