Kill James Bond is setting our sights on the Fast and Furious movies, but we need to do a little genre research first.

We need to- NEED to- watch Mr 'acquitted on all charges' himself, Luc Besson's English-language French Statham Vehicle, The Transporter!

Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. We're putting all our energy into this one campaign as we have a real chance to get Ahmed and his family out of Gaza. Please, if you can help in any way, be that by donating yourself or sharing the link with friends and family, it will mean the world to me.https://chuffed.org/project/124906-help-ahmed-and-family-evacuate-gaza

So stoked to listen to this one! A classic rewatchable b-movie. Complete with dated ethos.

Chuck

Very excited for this one too, Will you be doing Leon the Proffesional as well in the future? Also I came across this film called Sleuth (1972) starring Micheal Caine and Laurance Olivier that's a murder mystery with very interesting class commentary that I thought the podcast would fine interesting with set designs by Ken Addams.

ifthen

I’m named Frank and listening at work and keep getting Activated by this.

James Rule

Cool car. Professional transporter. Caught up in kidnapping. Uncomfortably and inappropriately sexualized. So... Riding Bean basically.

Jermy

When Abby said “fuck you, actually” it really threw me. That’s a speech pattern characteristic to Tucker Carlson

Ross Nolan

I have to admit I'm dreading the 'Fast and the Furious' arc. I have no interest whatsoever in those films (even seeing them mocked) and the thought of endless weeks of my favourite podcast covering them is pretty depressing. :(

Lydia Scribe

The Master was the villain of the FIRST Fallout game, you philistine! /j 🤭

Rachel K

Riding Bean minus the jawline and cool jacket

YOU

I can’t wait to finally experience the F/F series through this lens.

Just A Man in a Hole 🪏

Great EP! I don't think the S.C.U.M. administration has gone soft at all, it was very well measured given the text's tension with the performances in this case. While the pod is staying in Da Spiritual Zone for the paywalled eps, if you're interested in a sharp turn in mind of spirituality AND one of the most masculinely-influential movies of its time, might I recommend the pod look at 1989's Field of Dreams? It's a movie that is up on a pedestal but doesn't actually have a lot of coherent things to say, and yet still gets all the 25+ lads to tear up without fail every time, for reasons the lads can't seem to parse. Would relish the KJB perspective on this weird one.

Strike3

I think the perfect time for Noveber to talk about their Time Travel Epilepsy would be when and if they ever do The Butterfly Effect. That's basically the premise minus the Tramsgenderism and I believe a bit of homophbia (I think there's a bit where due to Time Travel Shenanigans Ashton Cutcher's turned himself gay, but I might be thinking of a diffrent movie that doesn't involve Time Travel. Not the Brendan Fraiser movie where he makes wishes with a demon and accidentally turned himself gay thanks to one of them (he had previously made himself a Colombian Drug Lord and a Impotent Basketball Star) in a effort to make a woman fall in love with him.)

LCB Meyneth

Nova thinking the word "Goated" as a child actually proves she's an Innocence

MS

Frank thee transporter being trans makes everything make sense

weronika mamuna

still manifesting First Reformed for the religion bonus sub-season

Patrick Lopez

When. THE FUCK. Are you gonna do SNATCH?

Alex

In the US, Lighthouses that are no longer needed are “decommissioned” by the coast guard and are removed as active aids to navigation—taking them off charts and removing the automation.

Alex

This may or may not be my special interest lol

Knights Who Say Sledge

This remains the best Podcast known to humanity. The number of times I shouted "I love y'all" through howling laughter was easily over 20 occasions in this episode.

EliteErin is cool

2 fun facts- number one is that Jason Statham did most of the driving and physical stunts and also his character was originally intended to be gay

EliteErin is cool

Oh Devon says that later, serves me right for commenting before they said it lmao

John Leavitt

The thing is I only ever saw random chunks of this movie and I assumed the titular transporter was played as a tightly wound gay guy

John Leavitt

OH ALSO: abstruse nerd detail, Bob Odenkirk’s trainer for NOBODY was the star of the MST3K classic FUTURE WAR

Ilian Petit

7 minutes in, already I want to point out that the guy who directed the timothy olyphant hitman movie is french and was besson's protégé. Here we have jokes about how besson movies always contain a hooker, chinese mobsters and a german car, a french movie critic on youtube even said that he got to go to the Lucy set and had like a solid second he managed to stare at the script and the first thing he could read out was "lucy turns back and sees that the Chinese are coming"

Foxing around.

Abby's description of this movie. Really reminds me of a movie a friend made me watch a few years back. 2006's Lucky number Slevin. It's charming, problematic but way better than a Bruce Willis movie from that era should be.

Noblese Oblahaj

Was really expecting Milo to guest on this one

Evie K

So looking forward to F&F reviewed by three people who can't drive 🤣🤣🤣 love it.

Evie K

Also struggling to imagine Abi as a passenger princess 👸. Devon it makes total sense and I presume they're just an excelent road trip DJ. November obviously just rides everywhere in the trunk, no surprises there.

Andrew Dunn

I watched in theaters whatever Transporter movie that is that has the Ukrainian woman with the face full of freckles and the eyeliner/shadow and the bob haircut and I was in love.

Eve Bee

the jason statham tweeter you mention at about an hour in is on bluesky now at @jon-snow-420.bsky.social :)

Jacob King

That’s 3. I was right there with you…

Kyle Clark

Idea for an episode: Do Kelly's Heroes, and bring Joe Kassabian on to talk about tank stuff.

charles

It’s kinda shocking that the brief discussion of the film’s screenwriter Luc “Mr. Acquitted On All Counts” Besson didn’t mention The Fifth Element or La Femme Nikita as “things you may know this nonce from”

Lauri King

The scene prior to the car exploding - Frank gets 2 pepsis out of the vending machine meaning he has finally made the moral choice to save the cops then boom!

James Cézanne-Taipale

This movie made me learn how to bake madeleines. My main takeaway was being more French was cool.

Jacob King

Taxi (1998) is the comedy rough draft for Transporter and actually a heist movie. It would be worth watching. Especially for non drivers; it’s a buddy cop story about a detective who can’t drive and a genius taxi driver.

Mariana Trench

Just on Luc Besson films, could ‘Fifth Element’ be considered a heist film? The good guys and various bad guys are all looking to heist the stones, all for various reasons. Could be fun

_elise.s_

As a trans girl with car autism I'm so excited for this and F&F! this season is gonna be goated with the sauce fr fr :P

_elise.s_

you should get Victoria Scott on for one!

Kyle Clark

I'm now imagining the KJB Team operating a M4 Sherman in WWII . I'm thinking Abi is the gunner, Joe Kassabian is the commander, Nova is the loader, Devon is the driver, and Liam is the bow gunner. Rocz is a desantniki.

Andrew Dunn

In the 2004 version with Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah, the robbers are (literally) Victoria Secret supermodels

Andrew Dunn

Gay Jason Statham be like Diver city hire When they filmed "Crouching tiger, hidden Dragon" Michelle Yeoh didn't speak Mandarin so she learned her lines phonetically Y'all need to watch "Get Smart" which has two mongo kisses, one of them being a gay callback to the straight one previously seen. Fatphobia, facial feminization surgery, fatphobia. Alan arkin. Can't wait for the bi discussion of 2 Fast 2 Furious

Peter Paul Rubens' Muse

51:50 comments from Abi that make me blush as a blonde American named Madeleine

Anarcho Slowpoke

A movie, that more explicitly discusses the homosociality inherent to these movies is the French gangster movie un flic by Jean-Pierre Melville. Warning though, it’s treatment of women (including a trans woman, which is interesting for a 1972 movie) is contemptuous. Unfortunately that is what you probably expect from the guy who has the misogyny monologue in breathless (the famous guy Jean Seberg is interviewing)💀

LizSwaff

I didn’t have interest in them and then I worked on the Universal Ride and was getting made fun of for not knowing them and watched them while very sick. I liked them way more than I expected. They get more insane and entertaining as the series goes on. There is a lot of unpack in those, even if they get 50% sillier each movie. I hope you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

LizSwaff

Spy made me a Jason Stratham fan. He’s great.

Noblese Oblahaj

If I ever get trans and get bottom surgery, Im gonna call it my backstory box

Public Universal Foe

1:28:50 i am looking at the director and not saying anything in order to avoid charges

Nikola

1:10:30 tdick more like Transporter Frank

Victor

November: "this is SUCH a kink movie!". Me, who saw this movie when it came out and then got into kink: "this explains so much..." 😳

Jacem

Just wanted to say I appreciate Devon adding collections to the Patreon, had a flick through and re-listened to a few classic episodes!

Andrew MacKinnon

Post Transporter run you should really do a little call back to Espionage season… SPY. Statham being full Statham, and one of McCarthy’s few good films.

LemonyNose

“You’re allowed to be short but it’s a mark against you” all the trans mascs in the chat crying 😭😭😭

Adria Reed

Really hoping you cover The Italian Job (2003) with Jason Statham!!!

Kill James Bond!

It'll be one of Nova's picks soon. She keeps posting photos of the guy in group chats

Sammi

When I saw the villain of this film I just said "That's the face of a man that would kill John Wick's dog."

Kobal Deux

Having now watched the dumb good movie, I'm surprised November didn't mention the tracers. Every gun in this movie shoots all kinds of tracers - not just the rifles and the MP5-Ks, but the handguns too. And not just discreet "the shots are missing because they're shooting here, see ?" tracers, I mean full blown Stars Wars "A DISCRETE BEAM OF LIGHT A CENTIMETER ACROSS ZOOMS THROUGH THE SHOT" tracers. It's very conspicuous, and distracting. And, I suppose, comic book-y, yes.

Kobal Deux

Please. The Orangina Company (now a property of Suntory Group, Japan ; but not then) did not spring for a *second* product placement underlining a positive moral choice for you NOT to remember the correct branding.

Lauri King

Ha, I come from a part of the world where Orangina has sprung for NO product placement so I must’ve misread the brand

Kobal Deux

BTW, a shining example of The Tarconi exists in The Good Thief (2002). Also set in southern France. No cars, tho, not really. Casinos and vaults, you know, the yooj.

Ross Nolan

Oh I have faith (appropriately enough for Easter!) that if ANYONE can persuade a lifelong automobile despiser like myself that a long series of films that are entirely about cars is good it is you!

cole d

32:14 🎵short mothafucka and nobody likes youuu🎵 Is that a Tom Cardy reference I spot? I don't believe it

scara b

don't forget Bank Job a literal heist movie staring Jason Statham with supporting actors of 1970s cars

a simple rabbit

jason statham does a really good romcom lead in the meg, which is also shockingly fun and not terrible for the type of movie it is

Imitation_Vanilla

“Moderate wokeness of an infinite scale” sounds like a Milan Kundera novel.

JD Starflower

Fifth Element was on Devon’s list of heist season movies coming up.

Forest 🐞

BTW, the Tom Allen link in the description isn't working

-Kris-

"you're a short motherfucker and nobody likes you" Tom Cardy reference detected!

-Kris-

Oh my god, an Adventures of Dr. McNinja reference too! Bless you, Devon!

Saint Muerte

I really hope they do Death Race (2008) now.

Ross Nolan

Finally listened to the episode and have to say, even as the absolute opposite of a car person (a boat person... an ox and cart person?) that I really, really liked this. I might have to retract my worries about the Fast and Furious arc.

Clare

Honestly a thank you to in her boy era Abi for reminding me that sexuality isn't fixed and you can do whatever you want, really.

BayneNothos

If you do get Milo on for a Statham, can I suggest Killer Elite. It's Statham and a bunch of Australians conspiring to kill SAS guys in the 80's. Robert DeNiro is also there.

Clef (they-them)

Irrelevant to the episode, but I forgot Suzy Izzard's name the other day, and because of this deranged podcast the only reference I could google was "imdb cars 2" So...thanks for that

Rhiannon

honestly really loved the meg and I was surprised how actually compelling I found the romance plot! annnd then they had her character die before meg 2

a simple rabbit

it was so compelling!!!! i didn't love that they killed her off but the whole stepdad thing was so sweet also, and i liked that they kept her daughter in 2 rather than just writing both out

Carly

Is Fantastic Mr Fox a heist movie? Extra points for Clooney leading the crew

Harrison Fuller

It must be stated that the only reason Leon the Professional is not more pedophilic is because Jon Reno was actively resisting any acting cues that would hint torwards that.

Maxwell Burton

If the movie came out in 2002 it would have been well into production by 9/11/01. So I wouldn't consider this a post 911 movie.

Roxie Rockatansky

wonderful episode but actually it's unwatchable because nova said the master was from fallout 2 instead of fallout ❤️

MCGameFAP

Spy is way better than it has any rights to be, and Statham is amazing in it.

The Mad Scientist's toolkit

Abbie: if you're a man get in touch. Me: I thought I was but I'm having an interesting week 🥚

Josep C.

The cinema sins Ding was so loud I genuinely thought some alarm had gone off in my car.

John

Say what you want about Jason Statham, he knows how to pick a hot wife

TV

You guys should watch the original Taxi movies or Le Boulet. They’re quite problematic by modern standards, but also incredibly ridiculous and a wild ride.

NowhereMan661

Genuinely hoping that they do Drive.

Meryl is not a Vampire

No joke when they mention ex military some person on grinded just message me with the name ex military lol

Australian Estuary Pirate

I like how Abby delivered the line "I'm fucking a Madeline-seeking missile, let me tell you" because she said it like it was a sexual inuendo but it was just about cakes, and that's my exact aesthetic, lol.

Kyle Mcneal

The best thing about the transporter is that it was SUPPOSED to be clive owen. Who starred in the wonderful series of (basically the transporter) bmw commercials made just before the film they inspired
