About this Episode

TFG1Mike and Sean (OldSkoolz) cover the 2013 film that brought the Fast Saga's story into a globe-trotting spy-thriller territory. They discuss the introduction of Deckard Shaw, Letty's return with amnesia, Owen Shaw's mercenary operation, the Interpol heist, standout action sequences like the cargo plane finale, and how this film bridges earlier entries like Tokyo Drift into the larger franchise narrative. The hosts also reflect on the cast's commitment to staying aboard for over a decade of films, Gal Gadot's brief but impactful role, and why this ranks among the best-told stories in the series.

Hi, this is Eddie from Big Ed's BBQ in Waukegan,

Illinois, and you are listening to the Geekcast

Radio Network. Sucker. Hey, it's Mistress Carrie,

and you are listening to Studio 2009. There is

nothing wrong with your podcast player. Do not

attempt to adjust the volume. Hello and welcome

back into our studio. You are now Inside Studio

2009. Only on the GeekCast Radio Network. I'm

of course, TFJoneMike and joining me once again

in the fast saga is my good old buddy, Sean,

aka OldSchools. Hello, sir. How are you? What's

going on, man? I'm here for number six. Yep.

Film six, but this is part five because this

is... Yes. Yeah that stupid third movie is like

oh we're gonna give you a third movie but because

it's out of story order one off but which is

funny because this film actually ties the third

movie into the whole franchise at the end of

this but yeah fast and furious six. From 2013,

we are one year away from the 25th anniversary

of the first film, and we are covering all the

way up to Fast X from 2023. And yeah, so just

the facts for Fast and Furious 6, as I mentioned,

came out in, was released in theaters May 7th,

2013, was the... Empire Lycaster Square release,

and then the May 24th of 2013 was the US release.

Had a running time of 130 minutes, had a budget

of 160 to $260 million, and the box office at

the time was made $788 .7 million. Yep. Yep.

And what's, uh, what's pretty cool about this

is when they were doing five, I actually before

they started filming for five, um, they automatically,

once they knew that Toretto was pretty much signed

on, they were already writing fast and furious

six before they even started filming for five.

That's how far ahead they knew that they were

going to take it, which really surprised, I guess,

Justin Lin and Chris Morgan just took it away.

He just, I think Lin's like, wait a second. We

hadn't even got through five yet. Why are you,

you know, so it actually helped get five to lead

into six much better. So. Yeah well morgan as

a writer i actually looked him up he started

on tokyo drift that was the first film he had

written for for this franchise is first film

that he ever wrote was two thousand fours cellular.

Which i think was the is that the jennifer lopez

no that was the chris evans kim basinger that's

who i have to blame for tokyo drift. That did

not belong. I'm sorry. We can go through this

until we're blue in the face. Everybody knows

that movie is like the redheaded stepchild. We're

going to get a chance next time. We're going

to, they may, they made it fit kind of sorta,

but the, yeah, we're going to get a chance to

go through the, the, the. Yeah, we'll deal with

that when it comes up. I will be very animated

when we do that one. I'll warn you now. Yeah,

the only way Tokyo Drift fits, the only way Tokyo

Drift fits is through Han. That's the only way

it fits. And Han himself is the... It's a whole

thing. We're going to get into that once we get

to the Tokyo Drift episode, folks. You see, I'm

already wanting to start. You got one appearance

from Toretto. We got it. We got it. I know. I

mean, come on. Okay. I'm shutting up. Move on.

Yeah. Chris Morgan started his for Fast and the

Furious. The first writing credit he had was

Tokyo Drift. He wrote 2009's Fast and Furious.

He wrote Fast Five. He wrote this film. He wrote

Seven, Eight, And he wrote Hobbs and Shaw. And

that was it for this franchise. No, he was an

executive on X, but he did not write Fast X.

So his the last writing credit he had was Hobbs

and Shaw. I do like his writing. I mean, obviously,

I liked Hobbs and Shaw. I know a lot of people

didn't. I did. I haven't even seen it yet. Well,

yeah, no, I do. So. I, you shouldn't be able

to, you, you should be doing this thing until

you've seen how, but that's the point. That's

why I'm doing this. That's so for me. And I think

I explained this in one of the, one of our other

episodes. I experienced things so I can podcast

about them. So I can have that natural reaction

of holy shit or, oh my God, or, oh, this or,

oh, that, or, oh, whatever, because seven, eight,

nine, and 10. I've seen as I saw seven was the

last one I saw in theaters because seven was

the last one I saw in theaters because seven

was. Okay. What about eight? No, I I've seen

eight, but I did not. I don't think I saw it

in theaters. I saw nine, but. So basically you've

seen all the movies, just not Hobbs and Shaw.

I've not seen Hobbs and Hobbs and Shaw and I've

only seen bits and pieces of, of 10. Uh, cause

I'm not, uh, I'm gonna tell you right now. I'm

not a mama fan in general. I just don't, I just

don't like, I don't know what it is. It's not

like I don't like him as a person. I just don't

like the way he, I don't like his acting. There

are plenty of actors out there that you don't,

that you either like or don't like their acting

and. It's the characters that the guy plays and

I just don't care for it Let me give you a heads

up and obviously no ruining it. But yeah, he

was badass in that film I'm sure I'm just saying

from the clip. I haven't watched a lot of his

films either. Like I won't go watch the superhero

film ahead Yeah, Aquaman I ain't seen any movie

of his a matter of fact except for What he's

done in fast and furious. Yeah. Now that you

say that. Yeah. And I thought he was wonderful.

Yeah, I just, it's, I don't know. So for me,

like, and this is one of those things where it

was like the fate of the furious was a catch

up for me. And then. Fast nine F nine the fast

saga was a catch up because I hadn't after seven

and we'll get into this once we get to seven

seven came out in twenty fifteen. Let me double.

I'm doing this because I know I'm gonna have

to edit that well because I'm gonna edit around

myself here. Why didn't I just have you added

any of me out. I don't know. I haven't edited.

As of this recording of this episode, I haven't

edited any of this stuff. That was not part of

our contract. What contract? You didn't sign

any contract. I was told I wouldn't get edited

out either. Just to think that you can just knock

out our sunset. No, no, no. Okay. Well, I'm not

going to knock out good parts, but I'm going

to knock out bad parts. Like I'm no, you take

the good with the bad on me. No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay.

And people know this people who have listened

to me in the last 17 years. No. And I say this

every time how I edit is I edit to make myself.

Not necessarily myself, but I make the product

sound the best it can sound and I want my friends

and myself to sound the best we can sound. So

if I want my friends, I want your friends to

realize I'm an idiot. No, no, I should be known

as how I really am. That's all I'm saying. So,

uh, the seventh movie came out April 3rd, 2015.

And at that time, mom was in the hospital. She

was, uh, a month and X number of days away from

dying. So I wasn't really in the, like, I wasn't

really in the right frame of mind. Understandable.

And this is going to come out and I'm going to

save that for when we talk about the seventh

movie, but. Basically my point is during that

time, the seventh movie for me was the ending

because not only was my mom in the hospital at

the time when the seventh movie came out, Paul

had just died. As well. Yeah. Cause that was

his last movie was the seventh movie. Cause they

had to have one or two or however many of his

brothers fill in during that film that some of

that filming is, is his other brothers, um, filling

in as, as, as the character. Yeah. So a lot of

CGI work with that. Yeah. And that's, and that's

more than fine. I would, yeah. It's so, so it's

a whole thing. So for me to answer your question

in a half ass backwards way for me, furious seven

at the time. Ten years ago a decade ago. Holy

crap it's been a decade since the seventh movie

jesus christ i'm old that was the stopping point

for me i was good that last scene at the end

of that movie where they drive away. I was good

i at the end of furious seven. I was perfectly

fine with them stopping the franchise and i and

i say this in any franchise not just furious

but any of them. There are certain points in

certain franchises where i feel like there's

a certain stopping point and i'm just like okay

i'm good i don't need another movie well that's

what i was gonna bring up the fact that. How

many movies have you and i seen not together

but how many movies have we watched between the

two of us where the first movie is awesome and

the second one sucks. Which that's usually the

case with i'd say eighty ninety percent of the

movies okay. And there's no reason why, but mostly

it's because the same stars don't come back.

They don't, you know this, but this series has

been going on and you have to give them credit

for having all their stars stay on board. I mean,

there hasn't been any changes. There may have

been like one guy played one movie, but then

you didn't see him for two or three movies later,

but we're talking. I mean, we're talking 10,

11, whatever movies. Yeah. And everybody who

is there at the first, for the most part is still

there. Like when they brought that one dude who

drove the Maxima back, I didn't think I'd ever

see him again after the first movie and they

brought him back. But to keep us. Drone in and

the way they do it is by keeping the same stars

that takes a lot only know of one other movie

that had a run of about what. Four and that was

the one with Sylvester Stallone. And he's got

a bunch of them so you talking about rocky rambo

no no no no no no no i'm talking about you know

explain the latest one yes. Okay. They did a

damn good job. They kept adding bigger and better

stars. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See, that's the thing

about that. Yeah. No, there was only three, four.

No, there was only three. They never did. Expendables

for, I must've seen a four during one or something.

I'm pretty sure they never did. Expendables for

yet because, uh, originally Expendables for was

going to be the expend the bells and it was going

to be a bunch of women. Nothing. There's anything

wrong with that, but okay. Well, okay. Let's

just stay there. So you got that. Yeah. I got

the ocean series. Yep. One, two, and I don't

know of any other films that have carried on

past the second one. And the movies that I just

mentioned have all done a hell of a job, but

fast and furious takes them all by far. They've

got to hold the record for amount of movies in

a series or, you know, Don't know anybody else

who's gone far with it Yeah, I didn't realize

Expendables 4 came out in 2023 because I stopped

watching after the third movie But you are correct.

There was a more 2023. So sorry. I'm like I'm

like a bad girlfriend, dude I'm always right

stop it But yeah, no see that's the thing like

between the Expendables franchise between this

franchise this franchise They've only, I want

to say killed off maybe one or two main characters

and never, I know they've only killed off really

one main character and never brought them back.

Which is? Jesse from the first movie. Oh yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah. I liked him. Yeah. The kid

from the first movie. I bet he's really regretting

his contract. Yeah to see the involves still

going on and you can see I'm sitting around at

a mattress warehouse going man Yeah, I was in

the first one but uh -huh, you know now here.

I am selling beds. Yeah Yeah, no, it's always

yeah, and that's what this franchise has always

done is they've always like you said kept the

same Yeah, yeah main cast but they've always

added one or two on like when We had the switch

like People always say four is kind of the outlier

kind of thing But I think four sets it up people

say that five really set it up with the whole

heist thing and it did but I Still say four really

is the like five is the is really the jump off

the cliff point of setting up Going into the

whole spy And the whole heist thing, but four

really is like the precursor of that. And then

five, six and seven are kind of like the middle

ground and then eight, nine and 10 and everything

else and all that. And each, each film they've

added one or two new things or one or two new

stars. And it just adds to the overall. So franchise.

Are we going to do Hobbs and Shaw? Oh yeah. Oh

yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yes, so the current running

tally is, let's see here. We've got, we are,

well, the Tokyo Drift is next because of how

Fast and Furious 6 ends with Statham, with Deckard

Shaw, how that ends. So that we have to go back

and do Tokyo Drift. So Tokyo Drift falls between

6 and 7. And then fate and then Hobbs and Shaw

and then, uh, nine and 10. So yeah, so yeah,

that's, that's the, that's the order of, of things,

but fast and furious six. Letty ain't got no

memory and she, uh, she can a bitch slap everybody.

Yeah. Definitely takes a pop at Toretto. Oh yeah.

This is crazy we are not in Brazil So now we

got cars flying in the air on some double -oh

-seven type shit This is not what we do and you

really got to check that emotion One of my favorite

parts in this movie is right after Letty and

Toretto race and they meet up in that open parking

lot whatever and Letty leaves and Shaw is sitting

there like Thinking he's got everything covered

and all of a sudden a red dot appears on Toretto.

Uh -huh and next thing, you know The red dot

appears on shaw from his side It's brilliant

how that worked out. I mean just that was one

of my favorite parts in the movie. It's like

uh Like you got me covered. I got you covered.

So yeah, yeah I remember watching it for the

first time and I thought Damn, they got his number

and then all of a sudden I saw that I was like,

oh yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. No, this

is, uh, this is very, very cool. And so basically

folks, you kind of know how this goes. Fury,

Fast and Furious six, basically following the

last film from a successful heist in Brazil.

Dom and the crew or have fled around the world

and living peace taking a break kind of yeah

taking a break and They've gone the clean road.

Yeah supposedly and And Good yeah, no, they're

asked by the law to get back in it. Yep, and

we have agents Luke Hobbs and Riley Hicks I'll

know about this Riley chick. She awfully suspicious

III I Didn't I saw this movie and even now ten

years late However, later that this well this

came out in 2013. So oh 12 years later. I'm like

I I'm very suspicious and That I never thought

that man. It surprised me. I was like, nope She

got she got something something wrong with her.

What do you how did you know that? I mean, what

could have possibly besides besides remembering

it it's it's just one of those things where I

was just like This is not gonna go good just

the way she acts and just the way that I Don't

know she just seemed too squeaky clean Will you

you had an insight on that thing cuz i was. All

hook line and sinker on board with that deal.

Yeah you're a lot better at it than me cuz i

was caught by surprise the other thing about

this movie is is definitely one of my favorites

because toretto has a car just like what i drive

now. It is really cool watching. You know, like,

man, I got one of those sitting in my garage,

dude. Of course you haven't, I don't think you've

ever seen my newer car. So not unless you've

posted pictures of it on Facebook. I haven't.

I have. Yeah. It's my banner, but I think the

last car you knew me in was the Corvette. Probably

that was probably about 10 years ago. So the

car he drives. Is what I drive, same color, everything.

And it's in the garage most of the time. So yeah,

it well, you know, it's like if something happens

in a movie that that you you do or you have,

I mean, you definitely get more excited about

it. Yeah. Go ahead, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt

you. No, no, no, absolutely. And yeah, so we

get, it's this whole back and forth of trying

to figure out what Owen Shaw is doing, because

Owen Shaw played by, come on Giselle, Luke Evans

is Owen Shaw. He is a former british sas major

who leads a group of skilled mercenaries to steal

high tech. Devices worth billions on the black

market is hijacking a military convoy which brings

him into conflict with dom. So any has these

he's one of these. You know he's one of these.

black market dealers where he pays his people

for the last job and then the current job and

this job and that job and all this and all that

and everything else. It's just one of those things

where. This movie is so cool is so fun it has

so many moving parts to it some of my notes that

i took down as i was watching it the emp control

chips. Nope. Don't ever want to come across one

of those things. Oh, yeah So yeah, that's basically

and this is you know, this is you know, he's

he's after all this stuff and He's basically

one step ahead of everybody because he's got

Riley in with Hobbs and Hobbs doesn't even realize

it Well, it's too late. And, and I love how they

do. I love how everything ties together to all

the other movies, at least up to the point of

four, where Brian, Brian actually has to go.

Undercover back into prison to talk to Braga

and come to find out that all the stuff that

happened in four. Was basically because of, oh,

because of, of, of Owen Shaw. It was like, really?

Huh. Interesting. I mean, it was also because

of the cartel. I was responsible for taking brago

international. Yeah. Yeah. Roger was just local.

Yeah. He was your local gangster. Yeah. After

getting with Shaw, cause he had done so many

little things for Shaw Shaw. Broke him out into

international, which bumped his game way up.

So I like what Braga said. He says the only way

you get close to Shaw is if he wants you there.

Yep. So and and then everything with Letty, like,

oh, man, that's good storytelling. Yeah, that

was that was hard to deal with. That's hard to

deal with, but that's good. Like, don't just

make you think she, don't just make Dom think

she's dead. Don't just make him think that Phoenix

killed her. Don't, no, make, make it look like

that. I think it was worse on Brian than it was

on Dom. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Well, yeah, because

he's acting when Brian was found out. I mean,

Brian actually teared up. I mean that's strong

acting. Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely And I like the

conversation that he tries to have with her and

she even says yeah, and Brian don't even worry

about it because no better than anybody Nobody

makes me go anywhere or do anything that I don't

want to do Yep, and that is one thing who people

who have watched this series knows. Yep. She

is a forceful chick So for so that I'm not a

fan of her character, you know, I think she's

too manly. I think she's like There's there's

no prettiness to her. She's just like You know,

I wouldn't want to date her, you know try beat

my ass But yeah, I've never been a big fan of

hers, I don't know I I like her when She's with

Dom and I like her when they are kicking ass

together. I don't like her when she's just there

to be. I don't know. It's just it's not very

girly that's all. Do you see your girly I in

certain moments it just depends on what but again

the character isn't meant to be girly that's

the thing not all characters are but she has

certain moments and I think the girly moments

for her the Vulnerable moments for her are when

she's with Dom when they're by themselves when

they're being romantic Every other moment. She's

not letting that guard down for anybody. She's

supposed to be the badass You got that part down.

Yeah, she does find out that Owens hideout in

London is a distraction because they are performing

a heist at the Interpol building and What do

you think of that custom car of Owens that he's

fleet that car? Oh my god that car Well one of

them The one Owen was driving was a two door.

The one the girl was driving was a four door,

which I thought was kind of cool. So it's like,

it's like a jet fighter where you got a co -pilot

who sits right behind you. So that part was cool,

but almost unrealistic, but you know, Hey, the

fast and the furious franchise unrealistic. No,

just think of all the cars they ruined. Mean

it's true. Just that part of those Slam cars.

Yeah, how many cars they destroyed? Oh, yeah

in the tank scene. I mean I'd love to see their

bill on I know you just Can you imagine? Yeah,

I get a billions. Yeah, I can know you they destroyed

a lot a lot of cars and property Yeah, you know

when the BMW was chasing Shaw, I mean he goes

through the with a slam car Whatever it was he

gets shot by one of those things that takes his

car out. Yeah, he goes through a glass building

I mean, yeah that had to cost a fortune to repair.

Yep Yeah, I don't think any of these people in

these film universes, in the written story universes,

are thinking of property damage, are thinking

of what the cost is during any of this stuff.

People often talk about the property damage the

superheroes do in the Marvel movies or the DC

movies. Hey the superheroes aid the supervillains

ain't thinking about how much it's gonna cost

to repair windows in a bank and I Think of the

line in fast five when Mia was like, did you

guys just take out a bank? You guys will not

believe this radio chatter. I'm here like yeah,

they're not really thinking about that, but I

get your point Like yeah, it's so crazy. It's

and the stunts are so good Okay, I got a side

what we're talking about. Okay today I saw a

little real on Facebook and it had about three

or four 1950 something cars, you know different

brands different whatever on the second Street

Bridge and Haddle had Metro safe out there and

All that was told was is that it may be a movie

filming, you know, that type of thing, but it

was on the second street bridge, you know, of

any new films that are filming here in Louisville.

I don't think so. I don't know. It's either a

TV show or a movie that they're filming for.

And it showed four 1950 style cars parked on

the bridge. On the second street bridge. Yeah.

It was a real on Facebook today. I saw it and

I was like, wow. Okay. Cool. I've not heard anything

about it. I thought Mike might know. Be in the

movie buff, but I don't want to get too far off

subject, but why were you talking about everything

else? I did want to bring that up and ask you.

Yeah. I'm not sure. I'd have to do some research

on it after the show. Yeah. So like i said brian

goes into prison gets the information from. From

braga. Let's see here what else happens to purchases

all of the cars are several of the cars from

the auction for the mission that was good. They

take the guys shirt the pain oh and i like that

watch watch watch. I thought they were kitchen

help that was good yeah that was hilarious like

i'm sorry no one thinks. Hobbs the rock i don't

see your aunt or i know i know you're not a baller.

But the, you know, you think back to what, when

the movie started, it had basically what each

individual was doing with their share of the

last draw. Yup. And of course, you know, they

all get that call to like, Oh, we got to go.

And they go to Roman and he's like, I have vouchers

for the buffet, you know, on his plane as the

plane pulls off his, what does it say? Roman.

Something I forget now Romans playing bitch or

you know something like that. Yeah on the tail

Those are his call letters. Oh God That's Roman

that's Roman for you good old Roman Pierce Yeah,

I think back to when they brought him into this

series and that was a good one Oh, yeah, absolutely

too fast too furious. Yeah, that's His entrance

was great. I liked it. It was great. And he's

been there ever since, you know, so. Their crew

has been incredible, but this movie was definitely

the plot was one of the better ones, even though

it didn't really score that high. This was like

their. I don't know, six highest grossing film

out of all the series. Oh, it wasn't up there

with the best of them. I don't even know what

the, I would have to look at all the box. I'll

do that once we get to fast X at the end of the,

at the end of the franchise. Oh, I already did.

It was the sixth highest draw. Oh, okay. I mean,

yeah. I mean, $788 .7 million making it the sixth

highest grossing film. Well, that's a 2013 so

yeah, well, yeah, absolutely time that it made

so yeah But yeah, no, I mean overall I like it

I like the I like the end of the the plane chase

where they're trying to Hit the flap with the

with the harpoon and and all I didn't like that

that scene because we lost Yeah, we lost Giselle

that was that was rough He's been great, but

I understand why she had a lot of other movies.

He had he was doing so Yeah, but still that was

She got super popular super fast. Oh, yeah. Well,

absolutely she did but still like I Mean her

ticket just blew up. I mean one minute You don't

even know who she is next minute. She's in every

other movie out. It seems like yep So she probably

couldn't have done seven eight nine and ten anyway,

yeah Probably not. I don't know. Yeah from 2010

to 2016 was her break was one from 2004 those

nine mrs. Israel of service and Yeah, so she

debuted in fast and furious. That was her first

film as giselle Yeah. And then she did fast five,

six. She was in seven. Wait. Oh, credit. Oh,

credit. And it appears in a deleted scene. Okay.

So yeah, it's memories. That's right. That's

right. Yeah. And then, uh, she went to do the

Wonder Woman stuff with Dawn of Justice and then

Wonder Woman. Not just that. I mean, she did

a ton of films. Oh, no, no, no, I know, but yeah.

Yeah. Um, but basically, yeah. Uh, Ralph breaks

the internet. She was shank, uh, between two

ferns, wonder woman, 84 justice league red notice

death on the Nile. She does. She did come back

uncredited appearance, post credit scene for

Giselle and fast X. I mean, All red notice she

was great in that she was really great in that

with the. Johnson the rock. Yep. And of course

my favorite actor Ryan Reynolds. He's great.

Oh man that that's crazy. You got a DC Marvel

crossover in that film. She's Wonder Woman. He's

Deadpool. Yeah. Yo yo. So we have fast and furious

six was was good i enjoyed it. It didn't let

down that's for sure one of the better story

telling. Yeah of all of them in my opinion yeah

i think that's the i think that's the key between

five six and seven is there a good trilogy in

the in the overall. Ten eleven five. I keep forgetting

about Hobbs and Shaw. Eleven films that we have

currently, it's a good trilogy amongst them between

five, six, and seven. Because again, like I said

earlier in the podcast, seven could have been

the end of the story. It leaves it off very nice.

So, you know, it is what it is. Talk about the

extended version. The extended version. Okay,

so. What did people not get to see? So, uh, I

honestly don't really know. I know that's just

it. I don't know either. Yeah. So the, so I've,

I own these through Fandango used to be voodoo,

but it's Fandango at home now and all of, so

originally when I bought these. It was the it

was before f9 came out i bought the eight film

collection at the time and most of the versions

i have say extended edition extended version.

I have not been able to tell the difference in

any of the only thing that i mean. Yeah i mean

it has to be pointed out to me. Yeah, and it

has yeah like I've literally because it's because

of my own current health issues with my left

hand and Folks, I've said this another podcast

recently. I don't think I've said it in this

show But with my cerebral palsy effect in my

right side. I did something to my left elbow

recently I hit my ulnar nerve or something and

it's affecting my left hand if my left hand goes

Oh boy, I'm in a big trouble but My ring finger

and my pinky finger, I'm there like constantly

asleep. Like I've been laying on them too much

or something. Like right now they are currently

asleep as I'm sitting here. You have kind of

like neuropathy. Yeah, I have, I have neuropathy.

That's in the other parts of my body, like my

legs and my feet and stuff. But now it's in my

left hand. Anything happens to my left side.

I'm screwed. So my point is, is that Because

of my health issues it's taken us a couple of

days a couple of weeks to get this episode recorded

so i've seen a lot of. No no no it's fine it's

fine but my point my point in saying all any

of this is that. I've actually watched fast and

furious six four times in the four times that

i've watched it. I'm like. Where's the extra?

What is the extra? Why is this an extended edition?

That's the first thing I asked when I got done

today. Yeah. I was like, what is that? Like,

I'm assuming it's like two or three seconds of

extra scene or a scene type. Cause normally Wikipedia

or something would tell me like, Hey, it's this

or Hey, it's this or it's this or whatever. I

don't know. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't figure it

out, but I think it's like what you said. Yeah,

I think you add like a minute to this scene and

a minute and 30 to another scene. And that's

your extended version. Yeah, pretty much. Any

other notes that I have? Actually, you covered

this one really good from top to bottom. I mean,

you gave it all the facts that anybody could

ask for. Which, you know, you do real well at

the beginning of each podcast we do. So you point

out all those facts like a key. So I mean, perfect.

Yup. But the fun part is just talking about the

movie in itself. And to me, I think we covered

everything plus some, but you know, what we get

most out of it is the fact that this was such

a great story. Yeah. Absolutely. Anything else

you'd like to say before I throw it to a quick

break? No, no. That was it really is just what

you do in the beginning of these podcasts to,

you know, give out some of those facts is, is,

is great. But then when we get talking about

the film, I mean, the storyline you go over is

just down to a T and then I get to add in all

the silly parts or You know, things like that.

So it works out real well. I mean, I'm having

a blast doing these things. All right, folks,

we're gonna head to a quick podcast ad breaker.

Here's some podcast ads for some other podcasts

that we do here on the geocast radio network,

as well as some other YouTube channels that we

promote and other things. And we'll come back

to close the show right after this. Right. Remember

the second you go through those doors, everything

changes. Our old life is gone. That's weird,

huh? What's weird? I mean, you got everything.

Down to the beer and the barbecue. The way it

just... I don't know, it just doesn't feel like

home. Maybe it's because you don't realize how

much you appreciate something until somebody

takes it away. I don't know. If the place has

probably changed so much, you probably wouldn't

even recognize it anymore. Yeah. Everything's

changed. What's up with you? What's going on?

better have been worth it. More than you'll ever

know so this is worth billions, huh? Yes, it

is Name your price Dom 1327 we're back here inside

studio 2009 only on the gas rate This is the

Fast and Furious 6 episode. Holy crap. I've spent

the last 25 minutes looking to figure out why

on Fandango it is the extended cut or extended

version or whatever. And thanks to Google, finally

I found out why. Oh, nothing. Absolutely fucking

nothing. Absolutely nothing. That's why I couldn't

tell a difference. Yeah, exactly. The extended

cut of Fast and Furious 6 is about one minute

longer than the theatrical version. This extra

minute includes a few extra punches, more CGI

blood effects, and some alternate dialogue, but

does not drastically change the plot or add significant

new scenes. What a cheesy deal. Are you fucking

kidding me? And they probably got an extra five

bucks for that. Okay, so I don't even know what

they got for that because honestly, like I said

before we went to break I bought this as the

eight film collection at the time on Fandango

formerly voodoo So I don't care Like when I buy

things on Fandango if I buy a film collection

like this I don't care what version of the film

it is as long as I'm like That's the whole point

for me when I buy film collections, like if I'm

buying the ultimate Spider -Man film collection

where it's like all the Toby films, all the McGuire

films, all the well, all the Toby McGuire films,

all the Andrew. Like, wait a second. You got

these and McGuire. I know, I know, I know. I

said the wrong damn thing. Look, I was born with

brain damage. Damn it. Leave me alone. uh all

the toby maguire films all the andrew garfield

films and all the uh the other the holland films

like i don't care what version of the movie they

give me i just want all the damn movies i just

want it at one price so i and i like oh interesting

like when i think of extended versions or extended

cuts or whatever i expect that extended cut to

add a scene like You know how we talk about how

we did scenes and things like that i expected

the scene to be it like that's what i expect

from an extended cut to not have. Like to have

the scene that the theatrical cut doesn't that's

the whole thing why yeah that's the whole point

of like when you get the theater like. A perfect

example is something we're never going to get,

unfortunately, because WB doesn't like money

and they're two cheap bastards and they don't

really give two shits about the 30th anniversary

of Batman forever. We are not going to get the

Schumacher cut of Batman forever, which basically

has all of the psychological stuff, which base.

So when they released Batman forever, 30 years

ago, June 16th of 1995. The original cut that

Joel Schumacher put together may the man rest

in peace. He died five years ago He had all this

Bruce Wayne psycho psychological stuff in the

film They cut all that because for time and they

wanted it to be basically Look at the pretty

colors and look at the action and we want the

kids and then the whatever is to see all the

action and the pretty colors and the Comedy and

the this and the that and the whatever Well there

was a rumor that because this is the thirtieth

anniversary of batman forever that we were going

to get the schumacher cut eventually in this

like one night only or whatever kind of theatrical.

Re -release whatever so people could see the

schumacher cut will apparently water brothers

isn't going to release the schumacher cut. Kind

of thing so that to me is what extended cut or

extended version is is that you put all the stuff

in that you would have normally cut out. Kind

of thing and it's years after release or whatever

hollywood makes really weird decisions folks.

Yeah it's all different breed of them yeah. And

don't even get me started on space balls to i

could be here for a whole nother friggin hour

ranting about that. No, no, no, no, we're good.
