We started this podcast back in 2012, which means there are dozens or years of movies we never got to rate! So sit back and for a sojourn to the year before we started out podcast. Join Russ, Alex, Peter and myself as we give our top movies from the year 2011 (and the New Mutants) on this episode of the Movie Movie Podcast. Recorded on November 27th 2020.

First we post a new Schwarzenegger action movie trailer, and now theres a new Stallone trailer. It’s like these guys can’t exist without the other.
Anyway the trailer for Bullet to the Head has everything: Partners being murdered, awful puns, Stallone shirtless, Sung Kang from Fast Five, a Dothraki warrior from Game of Thrones, Walter Hill directing, Kid Rockian rock music, and old song to symbolize how old Stallone is, and a FUCKING AXE FIGHT!
Sign me up:
Yesterday, Fast Six began filming in London and that news really excites us dudes over at MMP. However, this film which apparently wants everyone in the world to be in it just released another bit of casting news. Joe Taslim, the lead actor of the future cult hit action film, The Raid: Redemption, has been cast as Jah who according to Variety is “a cold-blooded killer who uses martial arts and parkour to fight the films protags”
Ugh I can’t wait any longer!
We at Movie Movie, love nothing more than some good old fashioned casting rumors and what better film to excite us at its possibilities than Fast Six, Fast and Furious 2, The Fast and Furious 3, or whatever the hell it’s going to be called.
What We Know:
Everyone (who matters) from Fast Five is supposedly going to be back and that is awesome. The Rock will continue his hotstreak of only appearing in sequels but not original films and I am ok with that. Everyone else just needs to show up and let The Rock do what he does. It comes out May 24th, 2013 and we can’t stop release dates. But yes, Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, and Tyrese all appear to be back onboard.
Who Has Been Added:
As of know the only CONFIRMED addition to Fast Six is Gina Carano. I didn’t see Haywire, the Steven Soderbergh film, but I heard she was decent in it, and I know she can already fight from her MMA days and her stint on the short-lived American Gladiators reboot. I think she fits the world well as long as she’s like a number two to The Rock’s Luke Hobbs character. She’d fit something like that well.
Who Has Been Rumored:
Gina Carano is in talks to join the cast of Fast Six. This is of course a perfect move on the production’s part. A tough woman character is needed for that franchise to get more fans now that its not about racing cars, instead of the sexy lady characters the film is populated with.
If there’s on thing all of us here at Movie Movie can agree on, it’s that Fast Five was a masterpiece of action cinema. It worked at a fast pace, had likeable characters, and a good balance of believable and unbelievable stunts. Movies lately seem to want to choose only one path.
I call this the Mission Impossible Conundrum.
