Film & 40s: Film & 40s: Fast Five

This is some of the best content ever on the site, thanks y'all!

Some men just want to watch the cash burn.

For my family

haha yes man.

This is fuckin' perfect duder, well done. I couldn't stop shouting 'WILDLANDS' every time they did stuff like this in the movie.

I remember loving Fast Five when I saw it in the theater but I forgot quite how good it is. That was a super fun watch. The running gag with Han was hilarious.

This was freakin' amazing, guys. Holy shit.

Criterion Games are sitting on a gold mine unnoticed.

This was awesome! Great movie made even better with great commentary!

Oh I don't know, the most egregious example being the last scene where Alex specifically said to pay attention so they were focused on watching, and then minutes later Dan basically asking for spoilers. I think he actually isn't failing to follow along, but instead gets worried that he missed something and then is constantly asking Alex to explain things that haven't yet been explained in the film (though, a lot of it is predictable at least). I dunno if that is just how he watches movies or the 40s affect him in this way, but it would be pretty annoying if I hadn't seen these movies already.

Anyone know where you can get the extended edition online in the UK?

Want to do this right but no where in the UK has this for online streaming in the extended edition

Do we have an "Austin Status: Confirmed" gif?

This was just awesome. Best series ever.

The best movie and the best goofs. Every moment with The Rock was pure gold.

I love how when Vinny leaned into the straight man schtick towards the end, Alex and Austin just pleaded with him to stop from the bottom of their hearts. Man, we miss you Austin!

I was pleasantly surprised by how much less of a mess this movie was, just compared to how terrible 2-4 were. The action scenes were really well shot and edited in this one. The first half was really good but I felt it dragged a bit towards the end.
Overall a decent movie, but holy shit the commentary was the best yet. I was laughing so hard at some of the moments with The Rock and Ludacris. (And ghost Han)

Cool. Do you need it for 6 and 7 too?

Are you guys drunk again? When did Austin get here?

This is the best "podcast" I've ever heard

@jetlag: I do not understand this I guess. I keep getting [AVFilterGraph @ a shit load of 0'sd371c0] No such filter: '\'

I forgot to test from the Windows Command Prompt, but it should work now.

This might be the most entertaining thing ever put on this site, and that's saying something!

@darknovember: why so sveeresusesssss?

Any reason why this didn't get put in the RSS feed? My podcast player doesn't list it online.

@jetlag: Thank you! This worked perfectly. It might be a lot to ask but would you be willing to do the same for 6 and 7? I'm sure it's a lot of work to do this but I know many of us here would greatly appreciate it.

The way everyone (including @alex) keep wondering about a Fast and Furious video game makes me wonder if Fast & Furious: Showdown is on their radar?

It is really bad, but if they really want to consume every single piece of Fast and Furious media in their order, that game does take place in between Five and Six...

Georgia also gives tax credits to video games. Smite has a Georgia logo for the same reason.

I haven't rewatched this since it first came out, and I haven't seen any of the others. This was better than I could possibly imagine and look forward to the rest of the journey!

Yeah, I have a cut-list for 6 ready to go. I'll do 7 next week. I can't wait for this week's Film & 40s, it should be great.

Thanks out to @jetlag for saving me a few hours of troubleshooting. I took a look at the mp3 and I can only assume Vinny used some artistinal mp3 encoder made from hand carved wooden punch cards.

Just wanted to state another thanks. Worked like a charm, and looking forward to 6 & 7 now too!

I only have the original edition which meant it kept slipping out of sync. Quite frustrating.

I loved this but I really hope you guys don't do anymore extended editions.

Had 20 mins free so shot a 3 min video for those who may not understand how to use the command prompt stuff in the @jetlag post. Was a quick 1 take so apologies for any mistakes, and hopefully it works for everyone.

@cammy: Thanks! You're a saint!

are we gonna ignore The Rock's fake beard/moustache at the end?

@karspankey: Awesome that it worked! Will post it again after @jetlag posts the command lines for Furious 6, was a little late on recording for some folks to enjoy this high level commentary.

This was beautiful. Thank you all so much for this series.

The best one yet I love you guys! Austin too, of course :) I find it tough to sync when you guys go the audio check with both feeds going, but otherwise a great feature to start my weekend! Keep on going!

Itching for that new episode!

"Finally this podcast is talking about video games" had me damn near crying for both it's delivery and the groups reaction to Vinny.

Well going to have to break on this one, since this is the extended edition, and that means I can't watch these now for a while ...

This was a really good movie. Easily the best of the series so far. They cram quite a lot of stuff in this one and ask you to keep up. A far cry from the slow plotting 2 and 3, where the plot is very thin.

Shoutout to Alex's 'You're my meatbrother.' Been mostly in it for the commentary so far, but 5 and Tokyo Drift certainly stood out. It's pretty amazing how this movie manages to get more over the top than a GTA mission. It's also funny how each movie snatches a person from the opposition and adds it to the crew.

2: Eva Mendes 3: Han 4: Gal Gadot 5: Ladycop.

At one hand they should've done an extra training montage with Han teaching these guys how to synchronize driving with a huge safe hanging behind them. If drifting was hard to learn, this is way crazier. Then again, it seems like we're at the point where all these people are the best at what they do and anything works instantly.

@eloj: yeah it wasn't that bad

I would love it if you guys would do a podcast over

"The Wolf on Wallstreet"

It's a shame the dudes don't really get cars that much. Because one of the best things for me is to spot the outrageous cars the guys are driving around the world. Like in the beginning of 5, they are on the run from the law, possibly low on money. But here comes Brian driving a 1970's Skyline through the streets of Rio. That is such a rare car, and possibly even rarer in Brazil that I laughed when I saw that.

Kinda like the end of 4 where Mia is driving a god damn NSX. Where the hell did they get the money for that car and the mods to go with it?

I ranted this movie for this, this experience is certainly something else.

Also such a nice suprise that Austin joined up for this.

Vinny was on fire this time, hilarious episode.

Wildlands

Best movie of the series so far and the best beast commentary as well. I wasn't quite sure it'd be better than Tokyo Drift but when The Rock shows up as Super Saiyen Samuel Gerard it hits a great balance of stupid fun, seriousness, and legitimately good action throughout the rest of the film.

Can't wait to see the rest of the series and listen to the beast crew's commentary. You have my wood...someone help me put my arms down.

The slight moment when Vinny brings up Snapple again from the first one the funniest shit ive heard in awhile.
