This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 2013 American action horror film, World War Z.
Thomas abandons his long affinity towards Blaseball, for its lesser-known knock-off. Colin gets a statistical and "World Series" bee in his bonnet. He also demonstrates his vast knowledge as to the source of infectious diseases.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1969 American Western buddy film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Thomas continues to be malaised (Copilot AI states: Since malaise itself is a symptom and not a disease, persistent or severe malaise should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to identify the underlying cause.) Colin ends up with his own surprise half marathon.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 2013 action film, Fast & Furious 6 (titled onscreen as Furious 6).
Thomas has a plan. A big, beautiful plan. Colin causes major diplomatic concerns amongst Wildlife Protection agencies in Africa and Asia, and Drug Lords worldwide. He only realises how prophetic he was regarding car-flipping when he was editing this episode...
The Antonov An-124 is the world's second heaviest gross weight production cargo airplane and heaviest operating cargo aircraft, behind the destroyed one-off Antonov An-225 Mriya (a greatly enlarged design based on the An-124).

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 2000 American science fiction thriller film, Frequency.
Thomas games the system, flexing his driving skills against the hyper-realistic driving simulator, Burnout™ Paradise Remastered. Colin takes steps to avoid the weather, and cranes his neck. He also realises whilst editing, which game Blue Prince is (he hasn't played it, but has well and truly watched it being played)!

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1992 action thriller film, Under Siege.
Thomas talks about crazy times (A reminder that here in Oz, the "Liberal" Party is our major "Conservative" Party, and the Labor (yes, without a U) Party is our Major "Progressive" Party - although one could argue that there has certainly been a blurring of the lines of late!) His writing has been blocked, and finds a scapegoat. Colin is a writer, he's a fighter, he's a sometimes grinner - and he plays his music in the sun. He has Google Photos woes.
It was the character Tackman that seemed to Colin to appear out of nowhere. Looking at the original screenplay it appears most of his early scenes were cut.
TACKMAN All of what? . I do laundry.. I was ironing during the gulf war. I'm not cut out for this hero s•••.
RYBACK You're in the Navy, Tackman. It's not just a job, it's an adventure.
TACKMAN F••• that! I'm in on the college program. I want to live to see some co-eds.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 2009 action film, Fast & Furious.
Thomas swaps democracy sausages for Fish & Chips, and once again walks to earn it. Colin gets trapped in a MTB/Walker disputed territory.
Colin apologises profusely for not registering The Deranged Cat Studio as a No-Fly Zone during the recording, and not pausing the recording as the Boeing 777-9 flew overhead during Thomas' reading of N₂Osferatu's (Hi, N₂Osferatu!) story.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 2025 Japanese action thriller film, Shinkansen Daibakuha, or Bullet Train Explosion.
Thomas suffers catastrophic bipodal failure, but not before scoring himself a democracy sausage. He namedrops a heap of non-existent TV shows. Colin has a faceoff with a denizen of the deep. Or shallows.

Thomas finishes two sets of Blueprints. Colin misremembers: The "Bad Guy" in the Famous Five was NOT a Harry Potter Alumni, but a Game of Thrones Alumni! He is also most apologetic for not formally greeting e of pi.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 1948 American neo-western film, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
Colin gets a bit quirky. Thomas gets wrapped up in Blueprints and Explainers. He also completely misses what is arguably Australia's most recognised bird.
The number 1.37:1 refers to the Academy ratio (not "Cinema Ratio", as Colin foolishly calls it), a standard aspect ratio for film that was widely used from the 1930s to the 1950s.

This week, Thomas and Colin watch the 2006 action film, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Thomas gets lost in the Northern Suburbs. Colin discovers muscles he never knew he had, and the pair may or may not have had cake - for extra-special reasons they totally fail to disclose! Colin loses his left kidney.
According to movie-locations.com, "Apart from scene-setting, though, most of the film was shot around LA. The vast garage with the spiral ramp, where Sean gets to meet all the kids, is Hawthorne Plaza Mall, Hawthorne Boulevard at 120th Street, Hawthorne, to the south of Los Angeles (those nighttime views over ‘Tokyo’ from the garage roof were added digitally)." https://movie-locations.com/movies/f/Fast-And-The-Furious-Tokyo-Drift.php
Looking at google maps, the carpark of the mall - abandoned since 1999 - is only four levels high, so although the scene WAS all filmed here (not two different carparks) there was some "playing" with carpark heights! https://maps.app.goo.gl/TkbXzhMroDMhDuc16
