Fast and the Furious (2001) -- Left of the Projector with Cars and Comrades (rss.com)
 

In this episode of Left of the Projector, we explore the cultural impact of the 2001 film The Fast and the Furious, diving into its portrayal of car culture and masculinity. Joined by Zach, Connor, Bryant and Brandon from Cars and Comrades, we dissect the film's iconic racing scenes and memorable characters, debating the significance of vehicles like the Toyota Supra and Nissan Skyline. We examine the evolution of the franchise from street racing to grand action heists, and analyze themes of loyalty and exploitation through the lens of Dom Toretto and Brian O’Conner’s relationship. Additionally, we reflect on early 2000s fashion, memorable quotes, and the film's legacy, teasing exciting crossover potential for future installments.

Yeah I tried to fix the echo as best I could with a noise gate, but some leaked thru. I'm definitely not going to wear those gloves longer than I have to.

Some products deserve one star reviews, but sometimes the customer is wrong. We found a few examples of the latter case.

But first: Zach is in trouble with HR, Conner gets heated, Bryant buys tires (and is tired), and Brandon tries to Fit in with the import scene.

One of my co-workers writes "initiate" instead of "start," I guess to sound more official

Even if nothing is obviously wrong, I'd get an alignment whenever you can afford to. If something is slightly bent it could cause uneven tire wear, or sketchy handling.
