We're back! Once again, we return from our (unexpectedly) lengthy hiatus with a special episode just ahead of our upcoming third season. This time, we will be presenting for you a piece of lost media, the never-completed sequel to the 2003 film The Italian Job. Featuring new original music by brother of the show and previous guest David, and with an ensemble voice cast of whichever of Zach's friends were willing to be good sports, we've put together an audio drama sure to captivate and delight!
A huge thank you to our special guests, Zach's friends Max, Ike, Ariella, Miriam, and returning guest Jon!
And now, without further ado, In Reverse proudly presents the lost movie of the franchise... The Brazilian Job!

At long last, we've arrived at the final episode of this, our "2 Second 2 Season." This season we've discussed the many sequels and reinventions of the Fast and Furious film series, and in this finale we arrive at Turbo Charged, the short-film prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious and the first piece of Fast & Furious canon to follow the original film. But that wasn't qute enough for a season finale, so we've got some additional exciting stuff for you all this time! We also discuss the music of the franchise and the music it inspired, do a bit of a dive into some of the car-focused ancillary content around these films, and finally bring it all to a close with some (unexpected) late-breaking news about the upcoming final film.
Once again, we'd like to thank all of you for following along and listening, it means a lot that there are people enjoying what we do. We're going to take a brief hiatus, and we'll be back soon with more In Reverse!

Well, here we are in Florida, with the penultimate episode of our 2 Second 2 Season, in which we discuss the first ever Fast & Furious sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious. And as you'll hear on the episode, we recorded this on location in South Florida! This turned out to be a very Floridian episode about a very uniquely Floridian movie, so boy are we glad we took the opportunity. More like 2 Fast 2 Florida, amirite gamers? Anyway, this episode takes some twists and turns, so buckle up and get ready to Act a Fool!

This episode, we're discussing the 2009 short film "Los Bandoleros," which serves as a prelude to the film "Fast & Furious" discussed last episode. This is to-date Vin Diesel's one and only contribution to the Fast & Furious franchise as writer and director, so we really dive into what we can learn about his vision for Fast & Furious from this 20 minute short film. But it's not the only "short film" discussed this episode. If you watched Super Bowl LIX, or maybe if Mark Zuckerberg's algorithms recently decided you were part of the target demographic for expensive ice cream, you may have seen the other one we're talking about this week too. We hope you slow down and join us for a taste this episode!

This episode, we're discussing the 2009 film Fast & Furious, the fourth film in the franchise and the one which happens to share a name with the broader franchise. This movie is a legacy sequel, a return to form, a huge tonal shift, and a soft reboot of the whole damn franchise. There’s what to dig into here, so buckle up! It's mostly about drug trafficking and grief, but also Car Detectives. There's lots to unpack here, so come join us at Dommy Diesel's Driving Dojo for Dangerous Dudes!

As promised, we're back this episode to discuss the Vin Diesel vehicle (wink) and 2009 videogame, Wheelman, developed and published by Midway Games. You'll never believe this one, but in this videogame, you play as Vin Diesel's character as he drives cars really fast, does spy stuff, and engage in violence both vehicular and bodily as you endeavor to stop the deployment of a nation-ending superweapon. Hope you're excited to hear all about Wheelman, a game we actually played in order to bring you this episode. Join us as we journey into- the Midverse!

And we're back again! Just a short week after last week's very spooky special, we're here to bring you another thematically appropriate episode for Election Day-- we're talking about the next Fast & Furious film in our order, xXx: State of the Union! There are some strong feelings in this one, and some themes and ideas worth talking about, which is not at all what we expected from a movie with a reputation like this one. You should listen, of course, but you should also probably watch this movie. Also, you should vote. It's Election Day, dammit! Get your ass to the polls!

This is it-- the Season One finale of In Reverse. Obviously, there's a lot more Fast and Furious to go, so don't worry, we're not done. But Furious 7 marks a significant inflection point in the franchise. There's a lot to cover regarding this movie, as it not only closes the book on the franchise as it existed previously, but sets up the way the rest of the franchise will be going forward-- which we know all too well, having done this In Reverse. For now, enjoy this extra long finale episode, and we'll be back with more after a brief inter-season hiatus!
Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of the tragic and untimely death of Paul Walker (2:12:25 to 2:42:36).

We're hopping over across the pond this time, taking a quick jaunt to the footie stadiums of jolly old England, to talk about the ill-fated, critically-panned, visionary, revolutionary Fast and Furious arena live show, Fast & Furious Live! We had a lot more to say about this one than originally anticipated. Then we go right ahead and break into a good old-fashioned Unnamed Proprietary Puppets News Flash to cover a bunch of significant news and updates regarding the Fast and Furious franchise that we've been saving up these past few months-- with some interesting twists coming our way regarding what might be happening with the next entries in this franchise. Go on and give this here podcast a tallywackle!

It's been a long time coming. We've all been through a lot together. And honestly, there were times when we thought we would never make it here. But now, after all this time, we are proud to say we have reached the very beginning-- of Spy Racers, that is! That's right, this time we're covering the very first season of Fast and Furious Spy Racers, in which the adventures of Tony Toretto and friends actually begin. Join us as we witness the origins of this series and tackle the hard questions-- questions like "why are we doing this?" and "who is this for?" and even "was all of Fast and Furious created ultimately for the purpose of this podcast?"
And joining us on this episode is a very special guest, our brother David!

We're finally back to the main films of the franchise! That's right, this time, we're facing our fate head-on and tackling Fate of the Furious! For a film that was billed pretty heavily as Vin Diesel facing off against The Rock and the rest of the Fast family, the movie doesn't provide quite as much Big Civil War Energy as we were maybe expecting-- but don't worry, we've gone ahead and provided some conflict of our own. Get ready, this is our Civil War!

It's time to get down to business... Monkey Business.
We're back for more Spy Racers, and in this one we've finally made it to the arc we've all been waiting for (dreading), Rio. This is the second season of the show, and given what we knew about it going in, we decided to do this one a little differently. That's right-- this one was recorded live as we watched the show, and drank along to cope. We hope you enjoy our real-time reactions to all the mind-control-and-monkey-based shenanigans that happen this season. You might also want to have a drink on hand for this one-- but make sure no monkeys get into it...
