05: Big Letty Lies Jan 22, 2023

Show notes

The soft patter of rain acts as a backing track for an episode that sees Guy asking a big question; What if the entire plot of F9 was something Letty made up to try and break up with Dom Toretto? The Fellaz also try to figure out whether ghosts exist in the F&F universe and if so, could Dom take them out?

Family Time 2 Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

Guy has had a big weekend but it is time to do what all families do, and that is to agree to disagree. One listener has torpedoed a first date by mentioning their love for the pod, another is alienating friends by trying to force feed the new season down their throats. Discussion about driving while watching Fast and the Furious is floated while the mad lads catch up on a baby who they had a hand in naming. And excitingly, a sneak preview of And Just Like That... is with us.

04: The Mirror Operators Union Jan 14, 2023

Show notes

The Fellaz have just watched F9 for the fourth time and they’re feeling… Not so fine. Tim wants EVs in the Fast-everse and potentially AI-self driving cars too. Guy is full of resentment and has a hankering for a little bit more Movie Magic. The Mirror Union are not to be trifled with, nor are puppeteers. Shout out to Thailand, which portrays Montequinto in this film.

Family Time 1 Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

Goodnight to the Friendzone, a safe haven for friends and self-congratulations. Good morning to Family Time, a new title to reflect the new season and Tim and Guy's advancing years. The lads reflect on the New Zealand summer holidays and the wedding of the season (hosted by friends of the podcast Joseph Moore and Laura Daniel).

Meanwhile dedicated listener Chris Marlton has completed their fourth relisten to the podcast and sends a detailed and articulate dispatch reflecting the experience. This leads Tim and Guy to reflect on their own high points across the vast expanse of podcast they have created and Guy struggling to remember the title of a Rob Schneider special. Messages spanning a year's worth of listening also come from Cass while one plucky young author wants to know the magic number that would lead to a second method film review.

03: A Friend of Pitbull w/ Paul F. Tompkins Jan 07, 2023

Show notes

This episode is available in video form for our supporters on TWIOAT.Substack.com

In this third watch of F9, we’re joined by longtime supporter of Tim and Guy (and NOT the podcast itself), Paul F. Tompkins. We continue to try to find out who’s related to whom, learn how PFT treats his live comedy audiences (not well!), and wonder how nuts the F&F Dads would go if Vin Diesel got huge breasts. Come for the special guest, stay for the five-star review from someone online who has apparently watched the flick one hundred times.

02: Therapy In A Car Dec 30, 2022

Show notes

Tim and Guy are trying to map the family trees and plotlines of F9 in this second watch of the movie. Ludacris gets heat for phoning it in, the crew DEFINTELY shouldn't be throwing around the device like that and Helen Mirren's accent is absolutely taking this piss out of her own compatriots.

01: Where is Ms Toretto? Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to season six of The Worst Idea of All Time. Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt will be watching the entire Fast and Furious franchise, in reverse order, for about a year. Each movie will be watched the number of times according to where it comes in the series. First up; F9 nine times. Tim and Guy dive headfirst into the series' latest outing and try to make sense of the world around them. A world where family is everything but mothers are seemingly too unimportant to mention. A world where magnets can repel metal. A world where the film's protagonists can have so little onscreen chemistry that it's hard to figure out whether they're romantically entangled, or siblings.
