    I'm cautiously optimistic. Do I expect a shot-for-shot remake of the glory that was Roadhouse? No but hopefully there will be some continuity/winks to the predecessor.

     

    On the other hand, I don't see where they are going to set this movie. I can't imagine it being set in the 80s/90s, which is part of what makes the original great.

     

    Who does everyone this should play the Sam Elliot-mentor character?

    This is such my favorite part of HDTGM lately, maybe ever. The point made about how the person doing these stunts would be losing their shit for the rest of the movie if the characters were anything resembling normal human beings, lol. I could listen to Adam & Jason do this routine for so much of a real movie...

     

    I completely agree! Jason and Adam could just say "Guys! Seriously, guys did you see what just happened etc" and I would see it in theatres multiple times. If that were to happen to me, you could not make me stop talking about. I once fell down a flight of stairs and didn't spill my sandwich or drink and I was still talking about it for weeks afterwards.

     

    Also the audience questions were all really great. The Streetfighter call back was probably my favourite though

    About them all living together, I always assumed that Brian and Mia lived there and Dom just kept his car in the garage. Like, the garage is a guest bedroom or your old room when you visit your parents.

     

    Also, who looks after the house when they aren't there? When Mia is in DR or when they went to Brazil, do they have friends from the Race Wars check to see if there's water in the basement etc?

    It was like a 15-year-old boy had written the script. From the fast cars and hot women to the insular view of foreign countries as exotic slums to simplistic ethics math. Stealing = Bad, and Drug Lords = Bad, so Stealing from Drug Lord = Good.

     

    Two wrongs don't make a right, fair enough. But two wrongs do make a hard right with the E-brake so that the cops on the take don't get you and your familia. That's movie math.

    Quick question:

     

    Is it just me, or is Kurt Russell aging into the bastard love child of Ronald Reagan and Fred Willard?

    How dare you...I can never unsee that now. This movie is still awesome though.

     

    I would love it if instead of Nick Cage, they asked if Zouks as the local garage owner would have made it better.

    ...but this was terrible (but great for the podcast).

     

    It's just too dumb to get completely on board. I'm forever ruined after the last Furious HDTGM when they mentioned these guys are street racers solving extreme national security issues, it's even more heightened in this one!

     

     

    You say this like it's a bad thing. Obviously, the traditional means of diplomacy and official political channels aren't working and Kurt Russell needs to think outside the box. This is the only logical conclusion to that train of thought. They already have a proven work record with Hobbs and as long as they keep it under what I'm assuming is an unlimited/black budget with minimal good guy casualties, the Turettos/O'Conners are the only names to call on.

    I was a late-comer to the Fast and Furious franchise, I had only seen 2 Fast 2 Furious because it was on MuchMusic all the time. My buddy loved the movies and got me hooked, then told me about the podcast. As a Parks and Rec fan, listening to Adam Scott was too good to resist.

     

    HDTGM was the very first podcast I ever listened to and I'm so happy about that.

    That's impossible. This movie is flawless.

     

    I already concede, issues was too strong of a word. It's more of a comment that my Dad mentioned when we saw this movie and I confirmed it when I went the second time. The second viewing confirmed that the film is glorious and nothing could take away the beauty that is this masterpiece of cinema.
