Lange plays legendary Broadway actress Lillian Hall who unusually struggles to remember her lines during rehearsals for her hotly anticipated revival of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. This week on the Water Cooler Podcast, we review the film and Lange’s late-career performance. We also look at the very competitive 2024 Emmy Limited Series / TV Movie lead actress race and figure out whether or not Lange has a shot at a nomination.

2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast2 Fast 2 Furious (Lap 14)Walter Hickey and Kim Bhasin return to the podcast to give a special shoutout to Miami and to talk all things 2 Fast 2 Furious! We kick things off with an award focus by briefly recapping this year's Oscars with Mr. Numlock News Awards Supplement, talking about Al Pacino's cell phone, and exploring the awards this movie won. We discuss John Singleton's presence (and Vin Diesel's absence), the movie's most 1980s moments, and the Shakespearean elements of 2 Fast 2 Furious. Joey explains Lance Barnebe. We talk about what stuff from this movie we want to see return (and what we're glad they...2024-03-191h 25
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastLap 13 Tune-Up (Recap/Relap)We're closing out our Planes, Trains, But NO Automobiles lap and welcoming in Lap 14 in our mechanic-prescribed Lap 13 Tune-Up. We kick things off by, at long last, looking up various definitions of the word "vehicle" (and feeling validated) before we look back at the past lap's episodes, theme, and vehicles. Then, for the first time, we introduce our lap's sponsors -- Michael Moser and Josh Buckley -- as we share the upcoming theme... and some of their picks. Michael takes the character quiz. Josh offers his take on the result.2024-02-1355 min
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastI've Had it with These Monkey-Fighting Cars on This Monday Through Friday Boat | Life in the Fast Lane #22We're back for another Life in the Fast Lane (and our longest title yet) to talk about another perfectly contained 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute, now enhanced by our Icons Unearthed knowledge. We then turn to On the Streets to cover the Vin Diesel allegations (as far as we understand them) before pivoting toward Icons Unearthed's least exciting episode yet (about Tokyo Drift and Fast & Furious). We further explore the inexplicable popularity of our George Pickens merch and hear from a bunch of angry YouTube commenters from our Vanishing Point episode. Joey shares his New Year's resolutions, which Joe historically hates...2024-01-161h 02
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastF9 (Lap 13)We've got the hottest guest in town -- Brian Rodriguez, producer of Bravo Replay -- joining the show once again, this time to talk about F9! After Joey fumbles the intro (for a valid reason that wound up not mattering), Brian drops some major news... about Joey's life. We then explore F9 for the first time since the release of Fast X, discuss which F&F movies were the "most important one" upon release, and explore the ways the franchise's writers have retconned the franchise. Brian plans out entire laps for us and quizzes us on wrestlers and musicians...2024-01-021h 13
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast"Cars Can't Fly, Dom" | Life in the Fast Lane #21It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and this one reminds us of an iconic line: "Cars can't fly, Dom." (Hey Brian Rodriguez, if you're reading this, I hope it's okay that I used your trademarked word.) We kick things off by covering Minute 96 of 2 Fast 2 Furious, where the car is in the air! (But not yet on the boat.) We explore Carter Verone's bar setup, and we wonder: how is this movie going to wrap up in just four minutes? Joe shares an update on Turbos for Tots, and Joey shares a great F&F anecdote...2023-12-191h 30
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastCrimson Tide (1995)We're headed underwater this week to watch Crimson Tide (1995) and ask: did we pick the right submarine movie to watch? After we program a streaming service for dads, Joe shares his history with submarines and we explore the Quentin Tarantino connections to this film. We dive into the U.S. Navy's issues with Crimson Tide, uncover a dark tale about a Sopranos actor in this movie (other than James Gandolfini), and talk about Denzel Washington's turn as a horse girl. We wonder: does this movie actually resolve its murky racist undertones? Joey posits an alternate ending and a sequel...2023-12-121h 00
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastThink of the Children | Life in the Fast Lane #19It’s time for another installment of Life in the Fast Lane, and Joe has a question for you: won’t anyone please think of the children? We kick things off with a relatively action-packed minute (#94) of 2 Fast 2 Furious, which includes a technological impossibility. We then shift into news about the Fast & Furious from both the real world and the dream world (including some heavy stuff and some very, very dumb stuff). We talk about the difficulty of sourcing and watching Shaky Shivers and Wes writes in to share a write-up of Vin Diesel in the recording studio as well a...2023-10-241h 04
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastTitanic (1997)We’re taking a little journey on a little boat named the Titanic, and joining us on this expedition is Walt Hickey! After hearing about Walt’s new book, You Are What You Watch, we talk about non-cars that matter to him (cinematic and otherwise) before reading some truly pathetic crazy credits (and being reminded about IMDb’s humble origins).Joey recounts the tale of PCP in this film production’s clam chowder, we all remember watching this movie on VHS, and we talk about how young is too young to watch Titanic. We discuss James Cameron’s ability t...2023-10-171h 39
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastPretty Little Customs Agents | Life in the Fast Lane #18It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and this episode is all about those pretty little customs agents. (You know the ones, those who betray your confidence.) The minute features some good small acting (and not much else), but it's a very "loosey goosey" conversation as we imagine owning yachts and reading Yachting Monthly. We then explore news about F&F, which is basically non-existent other than The Rock shedding career dead weight and re-embracing what works. We once again plug the Discord and get some background on The Bullet Train. Joe decides to stay awake during...2023-10-0357 min
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastThe Bullet Train (1975)We're headed back to 1970s Japan with the resident historian Mike Manzi to talk about the inspiration for Speed: The Bullet Train! After learning about Mike's favorite vehicles, we hop aboard a train that can't go below 80 KPH to discuss another great title card, what might be cut from the Japanese version of the film, and the way the movie can create tension from a bunch of guys in a room. (Editor's Note: Only in retrospect did Joey realize that, yes, what he loved about this movie is exactly what he hated about Oppenheimer.) We discuss ways we think...2023-09-261h 08
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastThe Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (Lap 13)We're once again grabbing our uwabaki (more on that later) as we're joined by Matt Stuertz to talk about The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift! Matt begins by dispelling Joey's expectations of his F&F experience and tastes before sharing his rankings and when he thinks these movies work best. We dig deep into Lucas Black's age in this movie, once again worry about breaking this down minute by minute, and wonder: who's the target demo for this movie? Matt shares some thoughts on what he'd like to see upcoming F&F movies cover. Joe brings a splash...2023-09-191h 23
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastRRR (2022)Our next pit stop on the “planes, trains, but NO automobiles” lap is RRR, and we have to wonder: is this a Fast & Furious movie? After discussing our limited history with Bollywood films, Joe admires their pageantry and Joey shares his love for a delayed title card. We talk about character parallels to the family, how this movie follows Chris Morgan’s directive of “cool wins every time,” and whether or not Vin Diesel could learn the right lessons from RRR. We talk about the many plot twists (which all make narrative sense!), moving from automancers to audiomancers, and a bevy of...2023-09-051h 10
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastCrazy Credits | Life in the Fast Lane #14It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane and we're testing out a new run of show as we enter the era of Crazy Credits. We're kicking things off with the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (#89), which features a lot of locations and very little action. We then jump into Fast & Furious news to talk about the newest confirmed title (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Reyes) and to reassess Fast X's box office receipts. We also open what may be the biggest mailbag ever, wherein Joey describes some TikTok videos and buys a Fast & Furious cookbook. We talk about Roman's... earlobe...2023-07-111h 40
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast80 MPH (69 KNOTS) | Life in the Fast Lane #12It’s probably our longest Life in the Fast Lane yet, but that’s because we’ve got a whole lot more Fast X to talk about! After wondering why we don’t get sports cameos in the Fast & Furious movies, we open an all-timer of a mailbag to find out what Fast X looked like in December 2022, to make Death Proof part of F&F canon, and to hear a wild theory about what F&F 11 could be. We also read emails about Tess’s wardrobe, Letty’s pregnancy (or lack thereof) arc, and why Isabel got Elena’s files on Rey...2023-05-301h 53
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastFast X PreviewThe wait is almost over, and Fast X is almost here. We’re taking a moment to get (even more) excited about the newest Fast & Furious movie! Before we dive into our Fast X preview, though, we talk about an underwhelming episode of Top Chef (that was “Fast and Furious themed”) and announce that the ballots are open for the 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame voting. We also chat about some Fast X news, including AMC’s popcorn container, Meadow Walker’s cameo, and a deep dive into Han vs. Deckard. We give timelines for you, sweet listener, to get your em...2023-05-161h 02
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastReturn of the Lance | Life in the Fast Lane #11The race toward Fast X continues as we take another Life in the Fast Lane pit stop in Return of the Lance! We’re still in our #FastX era, and our mailbag (plus Twitter threads) is basically all hype for the movie. We try to imagine a Dom/Vin-free F&F world, wonder why there aren’t any F&F shows like the ones the MCU has on Disney+, and debate whether or not we “need” to see characters die. We also talk about the two new promo videos (Who is Dante? and Open Road) and the recently announced director a...2023-05-091h 09
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastThe Furious Garage | Life in the Fast Lane #10NO KNEES DENISE SOLVED?! It’s another installment of Life in the Fast Lane, and we’re entering (sort of) The Furious Garage with a question: “Alright, dorks, what are we blowing up?” We open a mailbag to talk about a possible return of Gisele, Joe Manganiello vs. Vin Diesel, and Brie Larson’s purpose in Fast X as Tess. We also discuss what we want from Brian in Fast X and beyond, the release date for Fast 11 (and how many times we’ll need to see Fast X before that date), and a wild theory about Tej. We read out the...2023-04-181h 23
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastF9 (Lap 12)It's the end of an era. At long last, Montez is finally caught up on the Fast franchise, having seen F9 and all other Fast movies so far. After working our way through another rousing edition of the Montez Minute, Joey and Joe discover that they watched this movie in pretty different ways, with pretty different mindsets. We talk about the relationship between Mr. Nobody and Tess. Montez shares a fivehead theory about the franchise, which ties into a wild reversal in her opinions of a certain character. We share our Most Dom Moments, wonder who from Fast Five...2023-04-041h 09
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastThe Blooper Reel | Life in the Fast Lane #9We're back with another Life in the Fast Lane, and we've got a big ol' mailbag -- including our longest bleep yet -- because Joey goofed on something a while back and only recently got his act together. We then head "On the Streets" to discuss whether or not we got a true insider tip, to learn (once and for all?) how to pronounce Fast X, and to break down the new Fast X poster. Joe shares some thoughts (and history) on St. Patrick's Day and sees (via video!) how Joey reacts to the (editor's note: terrible) shows he...2023-03-281h 06
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious PodcastHobbs & Shaw (Lap 12)As we near the end of the Vin Diesel lap, it's time (once again) to talk about the Dominic Toretto-free Hobbs & Shaw. Jessica Collins (aka Montez) once again struggles through her titular segment, losing steam in the same spot as usual. We then wonder: is Hobbs & Shaw the least Dom movie? Do Dom's actions in F9 up-end what we select as the "most Dom moment"? Did Vin Diesel have any say in the making of this film? Joey makes a bold proclamation (and a plea), Montez shares her issues with the movie, and Joe argues that The Shape of...2023-03-141h 10
2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast"This is Lance. Lance Barnebe. From school." | Life in the Fast Lane #8It's time for another jam-packed installment of Life in the Fast Lane -- and this is a wild one. After cracking the mailbag and doing a lot of (needless) #MagicMics planning, we unveil that history has been made. We talk about the XFL, Vin Diesel at the NBA All-Star Game, and share an "update" on the status of the Letty-led F&F movie. Joe shares an Oscar roundup and a trash TV roundup. Joey shares a bunch of bad food decisions he's made lately. We struggle through the Fate of the Furious trailer before entering the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (1:13:30...2023-03-071h 36

Dropping by the show is an old friend of the podcast, Joey Moser, who’s a writer over at Awards Daily, and is also a hardcore SATC fan from way back.

The in-demand actors lovingly reconnect as only good friends can before our conversation begins about their work on the stage/screen hybrid performance of Shakespeare’s classic. We have seen so many versions of Romeo & Juliet, so why another one? When you have such passionate chemistry like O’Connor and Buckley share, it’s obvious.

We've got Uma Thurman's character being very vocal about her peanut allergy, Karen singing Snow Patrol, and an elaborate Bollywood number, that maybe hasn't aged the best.
And as always we close things out with awards points to Ivy or karen, on the "Marilyn leaderboard". This week, in a twist on the usual closing segment where I usually award my "Karen moment of the week", I'll ac...2021-06-151h 10
