INTRO
Oh hi,
First Name Speed…Last Name Racer.
…and now it’s time for “What you talkin’ about Theme Song?”
Where I will do my best to present talking points and avoid singing along the way.
Here he comes, Here comes Speed Racer.
Hey, thanks for the heads up song writer. That’s not ominous at all.
He’s a demon on wheels, He’s a demon and he’s gonna be chasin’ after someone.
Let’s break that down. A “Demon on wheels;” Well, that is a thing we say about people who are driven.
However, the second mention of demon is not qualified with any sort of type. Which leads me to believe that this song is implying that Speed Racer is an actual demon. Well that changes things.
Oh what did you do Papa Racer!?
He’s gainin’ on you so you better look alive.
Holy crap. The “chasin’ someone” is now no longer in question. It’s “you” who the demon racer is chasing!
Oh man!
Also, there are rumors circulating that Speed Racer lures little kids and monkey’s with Candy into the trunk of his car!
You nothing but evil Speed Racer!
He’s busy revvin’ up a powerful Mach 5.
And when the odds are against him
And there’s dangerous work to doYou bet your life
Speed Racer, Will see it through.
A Life wager! Nope! Nuh uh! Nope!
Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer, Go!
Straight back to hell ya doe eye’d demon!
Randy, what movie did you watch?

SHOW NOTES
I think this kid needs Ritalin.
This kid day dreams a lot.
Testing is not a race.
Dad is a race car designer and his brother Rex is a racer.
The kid’s name is Speed Racer. What the hell do you expect from the kid.
Outside is a nightmare! Is this all in this kid’s imagination or is this reality for these people.
Rex is a great big brother….
Wait the kid’s full name is Speed Racer Burns?
I haven’t seen this as kind of commentary since Podracing.
Fast Forward life…
Oh no…he killed that guy…nope…bubble air bag. That guy looked like the bad guy from
Let’s go back in time….to Rex. What happened Rex! Did you

The kid’s name is Sprital? Who names these kids.
RI is a gross Pancake eater.
RI started on a Commodore 64…that shifts that time line a bit in the Speed Racer universe.
RI likes limited things. 3 blooms. 6 licenses.
2008. Segway was super future.
These special effects are a visual onslaught.
hahaha…the guy doing the nose touch while doing rings.
This reminds me of Spy Kids in the visual effects.
All the characters at Ri Racing are spastic
WRL Racing. Jack Canon Ball Taylor
With all this greenscreen work these actors could not have any idea how things were going to look.
This guy is getting all the slaps.
Bad guys with piranha tanks.

Is this a rescue attempt? or is it a hit?
Rex number 9. haha…it’s Jack! Racer X?
You do not talk about Justice like that! Get out!

2 perspectives to racing.The racer vs the owners. Reality vs dream

Trixie gets her chance!
There are a lot of drifting here.

This movie could have been about 30 minutes shorter if you took away some of the fight scenes.
Worst mafia ever.
Snake Oliler!
“Buh Bye little Turd”
haha…everyone is shocked at a gun? They have been trying to murder each other for the last hour.
Speed racer pose is almost a dab.
Racer X is not Rex!
Not enough stories about Families that work together .
Also, I love the fact that we have a hero who has a girlfriend and there is no major drama.
A convergerator is better than a transponder?
Mom makes a killer PB&J…also, she made like 20 of them.
Wait! Number 6…that is not the Mach 5! You are not going to race the final race in a car other than the Mach 5!
