Episode 350 The Fast and the Furious (1954 vs 2001)
It's our big 350th episode and we are going fast and furious with our celebrations. The Fast and the Furious began on the highways of Roger Corman's brain in 1954 as an escaped convict steals a Jaguar, kidnapping the owner, and enters a road race that can help him escape into Mexico. While the Universal film in 2001 is not a remake we do find some interesting similarities that may have influenced the Vin Diesel and Paul Walker film.
