We race through the first four films of the Fast and Furious franchise, discussing all the things that make the series an international staple. *Joined by guest host Cynthia Naugle (@tentimesatiger)
We breakdown the evolution each movie has taken and the odd time line that was build to piece these films together. More importantly we laugh and enjoy this crazy series of film that fires on all cylinders!
