The Fast and the Furious (Lap 14)

It's time to kick off Lap 14, our '80s Cult Movie lap, and we're
joined by Walt Hickey and Kim Bhasin to talk about The Fast and the
Furious! After getting a refresher of their history with this
movie, we kick things off by talking about the most '80s elements
of this movie -- and the associated weirdness of this ask. Walt
already starts connecting this franchise to D&D. We look at The
Fast and the Furious as both the start of a franchise and as a
standalone movie, we admire the second unit directorial work, and
we wonder if this franchise is now a unicorn in Hollywood. We talk
about Dom's skills (or lack thereof) as a party host, we analyze
the cops at play in this movie, and we talk about where we would
have expected a sequel to this movie to have gone. We try to make
sense of Race Wars. Walt determines the one place this franchise
has not gone. Email us: family@cageclub.me Visit our Patreon page
