2 Fast 2 Forever #462 – The Fate of the Furious (Lap 16)
Jordan Polan-Clarke returns to the show to talk about The Fate of the Furious… and the future of the franchise! After we acknowledge the vast shift in the F&F landscape since we last recorded – and remind you that voting is still open for the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame – we turn our focus to the Fate of the Furious (and Jordan’s journey through the franchise).
Is this the least Fast and Furious movie so far? How much do the women have to do in this movie? Is Dom Cuban? How much “engine work” does he really do? Does he make pasta and sauce from scratch? We discuss all these questions as Joe goes deep (but not too deep) into store-bought pasta.
We also talk about what stands out in the Dom and Queenie scene, what Fast & Furious could have learned from Friends, and the homophobia in the film found almost exclusively in the Extended Cut. Then, we explore the differences in the Extended Cut, ask whether Hobbs and/or Shaw is gay, and talk about what Roman used to be good at.
Is this the most classic car movie F&F? Is Dom’s villain turn believable, or is he reluctant on purpose? What will the Peacock F&F TV series be about? Plus: Jordan takes a BIG swing in the Fast Forever guessing game!
