231. It’s time to hit the gas! 🚗💨


In this episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Jon, Roberto and Alex launch their brand-new Fast & Furious Rewatch with the movie that started it all: The Fast and the Furious (2001).


The guys dive under the hood of Rob Cohen’s cult classic, covering:


  • First memories of seeing the film (cinema bunk-offs and dodgy kebab shops included)
  • Why this really is just Point Break… with cars
  • The iconic rides - Toyota Supra, Dodge Charger, Eclipse and those neon Civics
  • NOS-fuelled stunts and action that still hold up today
  • Fashion, music, and the noughties style crimes we can’t unsee
  • Forgotten trivia like the post-credit scene and early casting choices (yes, Timothy Olyphant nearly played Dom!)
  • How a modest crime drama about stealing Panasonic combo VCRs and DVD players became a $7.4 billion franchise


Expect laughter, rants, nostalgia, and the occasional existential crisis over Ja Rule’s soundtrack contributions.


👉 Whether you love the Fast Saga or love to hate it, you’ll enjoy this nitrous-charged conversation.
