Episode 93 - F9: The Fast Saga (Fast & Furious 9)

This is it people! The thing we've been building towards! We finally made it, Chris has caught up on all the movies, and it's time to dive head first right back into the most unstoppable franchise in every sense of the word, Fast & Furious is back! And the latest installment if F9, which sees the return of franchise mainstay Justin Lin, who previously directed Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five & Fast & Furious 6! It also happens to be the first film since Tokyo Drift to not feature longtime series writer Chris Morgan! Starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Michael Rooker, Lucas Black, Lil' Bow Wow, Kurt Russell, Charlize Theron & Helen Mirren, the film sees Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and the team come together to stop a world-shattering plot headed by Toretto's long-lost brother, Jakob (Cena). This movie is absolutely ridiculous, from its even more over the top set pieces to its attempt at meta commentary to John Cena's inability to act, which the movie actually has a clever way of overcoming. Dom & Chris break down all of their thoughts, how this stacks up to the rest of the frachise, where they go from here, and whether this franchise can still distinguish itself from all the other action franchises today.
