Welcome to the finale of "Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich," our in-depth look through the Fast and Furious franchise. Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog" Dykes, Joel DeWitte, and Ryan Lootens sit down and rank all the movies and go over the highlights of the series. There's a lot of great filmmaking in here and a lot of fun moments, even if not every film lands. Where does this franchise sit with you? Do you agree with these lists?

This week on Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich the Binge Buddies reach the end of the road of the Fast Franchise so far with 'Fast X.' Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Vauxhall HC Viva Farenza Canada '71-'73" Dykes, Joel "ANC Pacer" DeWitte, Ryan "DMC Delorean" Lootens discuss the one thing that works in this movie (Momoa) and then go into everything else that doesn't work. And folks, the rest of the stuff just doesn't really work. You'll want to hear about it all.

Hi and welcome to yet another exciting episode of Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich. This week Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Volvo P1800" Dykes, Joel "Alfa Romeo Spyder" DeWitte, and Ryan "Hudson Hornet" Lootens tackle 'Fast 9: The Fast Saga.' Does it recover the adventure and charm of the older entries in the series or does it strain with fatigue? Does it bring the ensemble that we know and love back together or does it feel like a Vin Diesel movie with other actors living in the b-story? The gang covers all this and more.

This week on 'Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich' Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Shelby GT 500CR" Dykes, Joel "Bentley EXP100GT" DeWitte, and Ryan "Jaguar XJS" Lootens make a pit stop to talk about the rather abyssmal (and overlong) Fast franchise offshoot 'Hobbs & Shaw.' At least Statham and the Rock gave it their all, right? RIGHT?

This week on another high octane episode of "Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich," Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Sion tC" Dykes, Joel "Ford Mustang" DeWitte, and Ryan "Dodge Viper" Lootens talk about the most disappointing entry in the Fast and Furious franchise since the second movie - 'The Fate of the Furious.' Slower car chases, pacing issues, and other issues abound and the Binge Buddies crew is  there to work through them all.

On this week's exciting episode of "Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich" Bryan Dressel, Joel "Dodge Dart Swinger" DeWitte, Matt "Zombie Dog Mazda Bongo Friendee" Dykes, and Ryan "Great Wall Wingle" Lootens talk about the box office smash that is Furious 7. This thing was huge and the gang gets to the bottom of why.

Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Subaru Brat" Dykes, Joel "Volkswagon Thing" DeWitte, and Ryan "Pontiac Le Man" Lootens sit down to talk about 'Furious 6,' which is considered to be the end of Justin Lin's run. It's got great in-car and out-of-car action and remains an exciting entry in the series. You won't want to miss this chat.

Welcome to another high octane episode of Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich and apologies for the gap between episodes! The Binge Buddies, composed of Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Mitsubishi Minica Lettuce" Dykes, Joel "AMC Gremlin" DeWitte, Ryan "Honda Thats" Lootens, once again join forces to talk about the turning point in the Fast franchise: 'Fast Five.'

Want to hear Ryan count all the ways he "adores" this film in the franchise? Hit that play button and find out!

Welcome to the most driftiest episode of Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich. This week Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Hummer H2" Dykes, Joel "Chevy SSR" DeWitte, and Ryan "Plymouth Prowler" Lootens strap in to talk about 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.'

We're back with another exciting episoded of "Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich," which looks at the rollercoaster that is the Fast and Furious franchise. Join Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Crosley Hotshot" Dykes, Joel "King ### Model III" DeWitte, and Ryan "Waterman Aerobile" Lootens as they talk about the best titled, but probably most misguided movie out of the bunch: '2 Fast 2 Furious.'

In the latest Fortress of Ineptitude, Michael and Lars discuss The Spirit, a baffling but entertaining adaptation of the classic Will Eisner series that gets nearly everything about the character wrong.

Mark Steven Johnson's GHOST RIDER (2007) sees daredevil stuntman - see what I did there because the same director also did the Ben Affleck superhero caper about a blind gimp lawyer called DAREDEVIL - Johnny Blaze make a Faustian pact with Mephistopheles which ends up in him becoming a flame-skulled bounty hunter. You know how those Faustian pacts can be. With steampunk Neo-clone villain Blackheart and his band of easily dispatched elemental douchebro's desperately seeking the maguffin which will ultimately undo him, it's the Nic Cage inspired adlibs and character details that elevate this B-movie with an A budget to something approaching watchability. Eva Mendes is window dressing, the writing is appalling, the central romantic relationship makes no sense, it frequently resembles a badly rendered PlayStation 3 game when the title character is on screen, Peter Fonda looks bored, the stakes are low or non-existent, there are plot holes galore and it commits one of the ultimate cinematic sins in that it’s embarrassed by its premise. Yes, you would have to be a moron to enjoy this which coincidentally explains why we all did to some degree or another.

In this episode, I revisit one of my favorite indie darlings, "The Place Beyond The Pines" (2012), which lead me on a journey of finding crazy connections between this movie, my favorite artist (Justin Vernon/Bon Iver) and one of my favorite beloved actors, Heath Ledger.

The film directed by Derek Cianfrance, starring Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes, came out 10 years ago this year! Since then, the lead couple became a couple in real life and had children of their own, a documentary about Heath Ledger came out ("I Am Heath Ledger" released in 2017) and Justin Vernon celebrated the 10 year anniversary of his Grammy winning album, self-titled Bon Iver. So this episode is basically dedicated to celebrating those things.

The Spirit is  Frank Miller's strange follow up to Sin City based on the classic comic series by Will Eisner. With unique visuals and a solid cast, where did this go so wrong?

The Spirit is episode 38 of Superhero Century, the podcast where we watch every superhero movie of the 21st Century in chronological order.

Happy 20th Anniversary to the seminal crime drama which finally won Denzel Washington the Oscar for Best Actor!

It all takes place during one day as alluded to in the title as veteran LA detective Alonzo Harris (Washington) takes relative newbie Jake (Hawke) on his first ride-along throughout the city to teach him about the narcotics trade along with a LOT of stuff he wasn’t expecting. 

This movie has pretty much become this generation’s Scarface…but is that a good thing?   

It was directed by Antoine Fuqua and co-stars Scott Glenn, Cliff Curtis, Eva Mendes, and Ethan Hawke who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor that same year.

Nic Cage is back, the last film of Nic Cage month is Ghost Rider. In this 2007 Marvel Movie, Nic Cage plays Johnny Blaze, a dare devil who is controlled by the Devil, who must defeat the Devil's Son (Wes Bentley) to lift the curse...all while trying to get the girl  (Eva Mendes). Oscar and Carl strap in? (not sure what you do for a motorbike) to figure out who would watch this.
