Fast & Furious Crossroads with Game Director Andy Tudor!

While the pandemic may have pushed Fast 9 to next year, diehard
Fast & Furious fans were given the gift of more canonical
content with Fast & Furious Crossroads, the brand new video
game from Slightly Mad Studios. We're joined by the game's
director, Andy Tudor, to dive deep into the latest Fast &
Furious story.  In this episode, we talk about how the team
approached existing characters, how they dreamed up (and
incorporated) new ones, and how the game's story factors into The
Fate of the Furious, Fast 9, and Hobbs & Shaw. We also talk
about the importance of 2 Fast 2 Furious and The Fate of the
Furious on Fast & Furious Crossroads, the inspiration for the
game's many set pieces, and how the game's villains tie into the
franchise's overall narrative.  We also explore the
progressive queer representation depicted in the game, how these
new characters reflect upon previously established ones, and how
the team cast actors like Sonequa Martin-Green, Asia Kate Dillon,
and Peter Stormare. We talk about the game's length (and why people
may be looking at it in the wrong way), Andy's dream addition to
the Fastiverse, and why he felt that Dom could take a step back and
let Letty (and, by proxy, Michelle Rodriguez) shine in the game's
narrative. Also, for everyone hongry for more Fast & Furious
content, we talk about the greater part that Cipher may be playing
in the franchise, the future of Hobbs and Han, and where the family
may be globetrotting to in Fast 9. Last -- but certainly not least
to long-time 2 Fast 2 Forever listeners -- could we finally get a
definitive answer on what "no knees Denise" means? (Video game
conversation begins around 47:00.) Email us: family@cageclub.me
