#525 - Franchise Flashback: The Fast and Furious Saga (Part 1 of 2)

Do you want to go see the upcoming 9th "Fast and Furious" movie, but you've never seen any of the previous films? If so, the CB pod is here to solve your dilemma.
Who's ready to live their life a quarter-mile at a time? We're joined by Brian Lau to find out the answer to that through explaining the ENTIRE TIMELINE of the "Fast and Furious" film saga. This episode finds us looking at the original "The Fast and The Furious" through "Fast Five," as well as multiple other films that link some of the movies, and the character Han's origins in the film "Better Luck Tomorrow." B Lau has not seen most of these movies, and we do our best to get him up to "speed" on the plots, characters, and transition from sort-of-realistic street racing film to "the coolest driving sequence we can remember." This is part 1 of 2 in our Franchise Flashback for the "Fast and Furious" saga.

Episode 206: Furious 7, the Bieber Roast, and Chuck's Acoustic Show

Episode 206 finds Chuck with an exhausted, frazzled Brad in the studio. They talk about their upcoming shows before getting in to the below Web Couliers. Chuck has a movie driplet (more of a TV driplet) about a Full House reboot, and Brad follows with a driplet of his own about Arrested Development.
Chuck talks about his performance opening for Dave Hause and offers a behind-the-scenes peek at his preparation and performance that night. He then offers an interesting tidbit about the game Payday 2. Chuck and Brad talk about the Roast of Justin Bieber and offer differing opinions on the quality of the performances that night. They then discuss the recent movie Get Hard and offer very similar opinions.
From there, it's a discussion about global phenomenon "Furious 7," before Chuck ends the podcast with a segment called "Blu-ray Blues."

Episode 138: Fighting Negativity. Also, Movie News!

The 138th episode of the Chuck and Brad podcast starts innocently enough. Chuck asks Brad how he is doing. Brad mentions some improv news, then our two lovable scamplike hosts start talking about the negativity they've seen lately. It starts with Paul Walker's passing and social media reaction thereto. They talk about women in media in 2013. They talk about local bands and support. They talk about a terrible experience at a local eatery. They talk about Spike Lee's "Oldboy."
Then, of course, they move on to what's up with Chuck. Chuck plugs the new Senior Discount album and an upcoming show (see Web Couliers below). Then it's time for movie news! What do they think of Wonder Woman appearing in the Superman/Batman movie? What's the deal with the red band trailer for "Nymphomaniac?" Ooh, is that the trailer for "Amazing Spider-Man 2?" Other X-Men movie news follows, then they discuss the film adaptation of "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark."

Episode 116: The Hangover Series and The Fast and the Furious Saga

Chuck and Brad are joined by local rascal Mat Fairchild for this edition of the podcast. After some good-natured joshing, Chuck tells the conclusion to last week's story involving the "Green Jell-o" series of shows and some fallout from that. Chuck unveils a new Brad taunt that Brad totally falls for.
Once that is complete, Chuck and Brad review "The Hangover" series of films. There are plenty of spoilers from the first two, and extremely mild spoilers for the most recent Hangover movie, still in theaters.
Following that is an exhaustive review of the "The Fast and the Furious" saga to this point. All six of the movies are discussed and reviewed at length (although some plot details are a bit fuzzy). Seriously, the plots for all six are discussed, so if you don't want the plots of these movies spoiled for you, watch the movies, THEN listen to this episode.
Also, Chuck and Brad get Mat to shoot milk out of his nose. Coffee milk. Seriously.
