The Fate of the Furious (Lap 15)

We welcome Alex Steed (You Are Good: A Feelings Podcast About Movies) to the show to talk about The Fate of the Furious! We learn about Alex's history (from afar) with the Fastiverse, which leads to an immediate question: where'd that baby come from? We talk about how the movies exist in a time and place where driving is still a centerpiece of culture. We ask: as a more casual Fast fan, how did Dom against the family work for him? (Also, really, whose baby is that?) Alex talks about why action movies don't work for him, but also why he likes the Fast and Furious and Mission: Impossible movies. We compare F&F to M:I and pitch F&F as a courtroom drama. (Who are the lawyers? Are they prosecution or defense?) Has Taylor Swift seen this movie? Did Letty and Cipher do Cuban Pilates together? We recommend more F&F movies for Alex to check out, including one to help him learn where baby from.
