F9 (Lap 15)

We’re heading to Montequinto and Edinburgh (and a few places in
between) to talk about F9 with Dr. Alicia Kozma! After Alicia tells
us about her academic approach to F&F (and how she uses it in
her teaching and programming work), we learn about her introduction
to the Fast and the Furious, and we get a new style/form of
rankings. Joey teases a series of upcoming laps we may (or may not)
do, we talk about F9’s confusing title, and reminisce about why it
holds a special place in each of our hearts (as well as why it
makes far more sense as a 2021 release than a 2020 release). At
what point did the franchise pivot to overstuffing its movies? We
discuss, and we also talk about if F9 addresses Hobbs & Shaw’s
biggest flaw. (A great link here for related reading.) Will we have
another unofficial F&F sequel in Fast 11? What is the current
state of Brian in the franchise today? What element did Alicia want
more of in F9? We find out! Email us:
