The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift (Lap 14)

2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

The train owners are back in town: Kim Bhasin and Walt Hickey return to talk about The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift! Kim explains why Tokyo Drift is the rare coming of age story that he can relate to, we get new thoughts (and a brand new take) on the "Sean's dad dilemma," and we question an element of Sean Boswell's wardrobe. We talk about how "the wrong kid died," what this movie does that's rare in the franchise, and a pop culture reference that still works today. We cover all the usual segments (Train fact! Most 80s moment! Most wrestling moment! Most D&D moment), talk about "machete order" in franchises, and wonder if Tokyo Drift was a gateway drug to turn car boys into weebs. We lay out potential universal/F&F crossovers. Walt pitches a F&F Broadway musical.
