Fast X Review

Buckle up, listeners. Today we are once again jump-starting our engines to see if The Fast and Furious franchise can possibly continue to live its life a quarter a mile at a time for the tenth time in Fast X. Hosts Caleb Masters and Laron Chapman's favorite guilty pleasure franchise featuring Vin Diesel and the Fast family is back, this time with 100% more Jason Mamoa than the previous entry. After leaving F9: The Fast Saga in the dust with a negative review in 2021, special guest Jason Black from KJYO-FM and Critics Choice Association returns for another ride in the passenger seat along with Chad Parizman, a podcast host/producer and Founder of Ader Communications, joining us in the back seat. In this entry, the family is confronted by a more cartoonish bad guy, Dante (Jason Momoa), seeking vengeance for the death of his father, Hernan Reyes, the villain from Fast 5. It wouldn't be a Fast and Furious movie without behind-the-scenes drama to add to the challenge of franchise filmmaking. Justin Lin began production before abruptly resigning not long after production had started. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the director had a falling out with Diesel. Furthermore, Louis Leterrier (The Transporter, The Incredible Hulk) replaced Lin for Fast X and the inevitable next film. After 22 years, ten films(if you count Los Bandoleros), and a Hobbs and Shaw spinoff, what more is there to say about Dom Toretto and Bryan O'Connor's found family in Fast X? Listen to our full spoiler-free review for the verdict.
