S4E33: Fast and Furious

**November Kelly** (0:17)
Hello, and welcome to another episode of Kill James Bond. I am November Kelly, I am joined, as always, by my friends Abigail Thorn and Devon.

**Abigail Thorn** (0:24)
Hello, Vroom Vroom!

**Devon** (0:25)
What's up?

**November Kelly** (0:26)
And much... Sorry.

**Devon** (0:28)
Sorry.

**November Kelly** (0:29)
No, it's fine.

**Abigail Thorn** (0:30)
Finish your intro.

**Devon** (0:32)
No, no, just Cowabunga.

**November Kelly** (0:33)
Cowabunga. Cowabunga. Cowabunga, dude. No. Much like Vin Diesel, they made me do another Fast and Furious movie. And I'm not thrilled.

**Devon** (0:41)
Gun to your head.

**Abigail Thorn** (0:42)
It's all right. The bits with the cars aren't as good. And that's a shame, because that is the bit that it's most proud of.

**November Kelly** (0:50)
Yeah. Yeah.

**Devon** (0:52)
These four movies have been so wildly different from each other.

**November Kelly** (0:57)
That's true.

**Devon** (0:57)
I like I loved the second one. They kind of lost me with the third one. This fourth one. Oh, God, I can see it taking shape.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:05)
The fourth one, which is the sequel to the first one, Fast and Furious 2, 4

**November Kelly** (1:11)
We're in the minds. We're in the minds of chronology, because we are watching Fast and Furious, brackets 2009 And before we really get into this, I just want to note that I, because I don't respect myself, I watched these on Amazon, and the Amazon description for this one is, quote, a four-wheeled felon teams up with the FBI and reignites a feud with an old enemy in Los Angeles, end quote. So, what I've learned from this is that Vin Diesel had wheels.

**Devon** (1:42)
Which I appreciate.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:43)
Yeah, it's probably true.

**November Kelly** (1:44)
it's not at all true, but Vin Diesel had four wheels.

**Devon** (1:46)
Yeah, that's not what happens in the movie.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:48)
No.

**November Kelly** (1:49)
But so, we begin with something that is in the movie, which is the truck from Dune.

**Devon** (1:55)
Yeah.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:55)
Yes, the trucker! The trucker! The Carmen's mortal enemy!

**Devon** (1:59)
Yeah, we open up with the beautiful trucker. The Don family is back, they're doing fucking truck heist again. We're back with the Dons.

**November Kelly** (2:07)
This is bread and butter stuff to them, you know? They go out and they fight the truckers every day of their lives, and the truckers fight back.

**Abigail Thorn** (2:14)
They steal sex asses, yes they do. We're in the Dominican Republic, and Dominican Republic Toretto and all of his crew are chasing down this big truck that's towing, like, can't, like... What do you call these containers? Like, five containers in a row of petrol.

**Devon** (2:27)
It's got containers, yeah, tanks, let's say.

**November Kelly** (2:30)
Petrol tanks, like gasoline tanks, yeah.

**Devon** (2:32)
Yeah. It's so sad to see that the car trucker war has, like, spread over the borders now, it's as far down as the Dominican Republic.

**November Kelly** (2:39)
And the thing is, you have to be a campest about this, y'know? Like, it's not your job to condemn the immoderate trucker, y'know? No. Like, you can't sit there and say that we think that the truckers have to be moderate when they're under attack from Dom Toretto all the time.

**Devon** (2:56)
They're being forced into this position. What do we say a trucker should do in this situation?
Not fight back? Just let Madonna's family take all of his canisters of something?

**Abigail Thorn** (3:08)
And his iguana?

**Devon** (3:12)
He's trying to do wages of fear shit, and the family are on his ass like mosquitoes.

**November Kelly** (3:19)
You have an absolute right to vehicular self-defense, and so, when the, like, three cars-

**Abigail Thorn** (3:26)
Howl's Moving Castle Doctrine, thank you!

**November Kelly** (3:30)
So when the heist team roll up on him, this trucker, he clutches in one hand his beloved pet iguana, and in the other his gun, and he does not hesitate to let that shit bark, which I appreciate very much.

**Devon** (3:45)
I really love it. They show the trucker, this beautiful Dominican trucker, he's got his iguana, we see him, like, feed the iguana, and then in the second shot we see that he has a hood ornament of an iguana on his truck. Yeah, like one of the tracking shots.

**November Kelly** (3:59)
You've gotta be getting theming bonuses in your life, you have to.

**Abigail Thorn** (4:03)
Yeah. Also, included in the heist crew, Michelle Rodriguez and Dominic Toretto are still dating. I choose to believe Michelle Rodriguez is the same character from The Assignment. This is Frank the Hitman, this is what he did after he was force-femmed. And I also choose to believe that Vin Diesel knows all of that, and is completely cool with it.
