The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift (Lap 15)

2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

We’re joined by Cody Brown (Studiohouse Designs) to talk about The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift — and how it pushed him toward cars! In talking about Cody’s history with the franchise, we all share memories of bringing grandparents to movies they otherwise had no interest in. Cody explains why Suki is his favorite character and talks about what Tokyo Drift brought to the franchise that the first two films didn’t. We talk about the biggest Oops! in the movie (including a disgusting detail we never noticed before), whether this movie holds the franchise’s “family” pivot, and whether these movies are becoming more or less self-aware (or both at the same time, somehow?). Cody shares deep insights about the cars featured in the movie. We talk about conformity vs. non-conformity.
