Hold Up

In 2001, the world was blessed with Director Rob Cohen’s vision of a world full of street racing, undercover police work, and heists.  The Fast and the Furious was in fact a dream project of Paul Walker, and by all accounts was a mash-up of Days of Thunder and Donnie Brasco.  Vin Diesel was brought on to add another recognizable face, and a franchise was born.  With 8 movies currently in the library and two more expected by 2021, any lack of critical acclaim is more than made up for in profits, as the franchise is reported to have returned $5 Bil on a $1 Bil investment.  But does the first of many hold up?  Listen as Jon, Colin and guest Brent discuss this box office superpower and see if the fast cars, fast women, and risky heists are worth the price of admission, or if their cover is blown while imposter syndrome sets in and they cause a 10-car pileup of disastrous lines, acting, and stupidity.
