Fast & Furious (Lap 14)

Kim Bhasin and Walt Hickey return to the podcast once again to talk about both Los Bandoleros and Fast & Furious! After discussing a weird timing coincidence, we explore Los Bandoleros: why it exists, why it's all vibes, and whether or not we want more like it. We make our picks for the "most 80s moments" of the movie, talk about action movies vs. heist movies and criminal vs. fugitive movies, and debate why the DoJ would hire Brian. Kim gets surprised by Fenix's incredibly visceral death. Walt totally trolls Joey. They make their picks for the most D&D and wrestling moments of the movie. We talk about the lack of comic relief in Fast & Furious, Walt compares the emotional release of these movies to Disney musicals, and Kim explains why this movie feels smaller than its predecessors. We wonder: are any other franchises "built in the air" the way this one is?
