    Haven't listened to the podcast yet, but Furious 7 is easily in my top 10 of the year so far. It's so much fun and I actually think these films are a lot more self-aware than people give them credit for, despite Diesel clearly labouring under the delusion that he's in a high art. All that said, F7 is, for me, behind parts 6 and 5 in my own personal rankings. Mainly because that no matter how crazy the action was in the Lin era films, you always had a clear idea of what was happening. Lin was a really fantastic action director and you always knew what was happening, and if my memory serves me correctly he mostly refrained from CGI. With Furious 7 I don't think Wan was as adept with the staging of the action and some scenes suffered from wobbly camera work and choppy editing. I think it's that style that hampered the Statham VS Rock fight, which should have been awesome and epic. But it's still a really fun watch, and I wasn't expecting a Furious movie to make me cry.

    This got a 15 rating in the UK (broadly equivalent to the R rating), which totally excludes its target demographic from seeing it. But yeah, it's next level terrible. Has Chuck Norris ever been in an honest to goodness really good movie? I only kinda enjoyed The Delta Force but only because it didn't seem to be aware of how jingoistic and fascistic it was being.

    There are myriad plot holes in this film, but there's one that always bugged me...

     

    Gina Gershon's character, who we find out had at least a sexual relationship with Troy, really doesn't bat an eyelid when Troy - a cold blooded, psychopathic criminal with a tongue sucking fetish - does a 360 degree turn from being the aforementioned psycho to a sympathetic and contrite man. Indeed, the only time she thinks something is up is when Archer as Troy comments on Troy's clothes, and even then that's quickly forgotten about. And I always found it weird that film asks us to sympathize with her when she's killed by Troy as Archer. Fuck her; she was fraternizing with a next level, cuckoo bananas killer.

    This series started off strong with Public Domain and has been mainly good if a little spotty with the subsequent eps, but this one was just so great. I'm a relatively new listener to HH (Hollywood Handbook abbreviated to two letters to save space) and I've been a big fan of Lapkus for some time, so when I saw the title in my podcast app I was stoked to listen and it didn't disappoint. Lapkus is an utter delight, sharp witted and playful, while Clements and Davenport are a pair of real funny fuckers. Mucho kudos to all involved.

    Not to start anything here, but it really bums me out that someone always has to comment on the physical appearance of the female guests. I know the above 'such a cutie' wasn't that bad, but it does feel like it happens every time. We don't do that with the male guests and it just feels crappy.

     

    Scott Aukerman has a massive fucking dong. And Colin Hanks has a purty mouth.

     

    There, consider this playing field well and truly level.

    Long time listener, first time commenter.

     

    This was a fun companion podcast to an otherwise boring, witless and desperate attempt at b-movie cult status. But then again I thought the first film was about as much fun as root canal work with a rusty hacksaw and no anesthetic, so I had no right to expect anything better.

     

    Keep up the good work, June D, Zooks and Paul. I know for obvious reasons you can't churn out the podcasts with the same kind of frequency you did before, but HDTGM is still one of my faves. And hearing your new kid cooing and gurgling in the background? Fucking adorable.

    I'm not the world's biggest fan of U2 (Achtung Baby has some OK songs, but their output is mostly beige, overly-earnest tripe), but this is seriously one of the funniest podcasts out there right now and Staind Glass topped the first "Slowing it Down" as my fave of the batch so far.

     

    EDIT: Also - I with Adam on his opinion on Staind's Break the Cycle. I used to love that shit back in the day, but listening to it now it sounds like the same ol' interchangeable nu-metal sludge that was so popular back in the early noughties. I mean, apart from Outside and It's Been Awhile it all sounds the same, basically.
