The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (Lap 11)

We're talking about Tokyo Drift (and just about every other movie
and every actor and director) with Alex Jacobs! After a quick
reminder to vote on the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame
(cageclub.me/bracket), we open mail that lets us know we get cars
wrong a lot before running into a traffic jam on a boat in the 2
Fast 2 Furious Minute (20:55). Then, Alex joins us to talk about
Tokyo Drift, his favorite Fast and Furious movie (36:35). He talks
about crafting the Drift Date sleepwave for Racer Trash, his main
issue with where the franchise has gone (and the way to fix it),
and a new plan to spread the Teriyaki Boyz gospel. We also talk
about whether or not Fast & Furious is still an "underdog" at
the box office, F&F inclusions in Racer Trash films, and an
abundance of nail-based metaphors in Tokyo Drift. There's an
exciting twist in the character game! List of non-F&F things we
talk about (because there are a lot): Justin Lin's Annapolis, JJ
Abrams in pitch meetings, Star Trek, the Twilight franchise, Are
You Afraid of the Dark?, Two-Lane Blacktop, Sunshine, Alex Garland,
Jessie Buckley, David Cronenberg and Kristen Stewart and Robert
Pattinson, Lightyear (for some reason), Watcher and V/H/S/94 and
Chloe Okuno, terrible Blu-ray menus on Universal discs, and 90s
point-and-click computer games. Email us: family@cageclub.me Visit
