Fast & Furious & Evolving: The Forward Momentum of Representation in the Fast & Furious Franchise

The Fast & Furious franchise spans 20 years, 10 films, 2 short
films, an animated series, 16 soundtracks, a worldwide stunt show
tour, 7 videogames, several toy lines, and even a theme park
attraction. Throughout the franchise (10th highest grossing film
franchise to date), the face of culture (and film!) changed --

agency, featuring stereotypes and slurs, to the franchise creating
spin-offs centering around characters of color and women and even
trans-character inclusive video games, join the voices of the 2
Fast 2 Forever podcast, Joey & Joe Two, along with former
