DTVC Extra 4, The Fast and Furious Franchise: Fate of the Furious and Hobbs and Shaw

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some of the weeks we don't have episodes of the main podcast. In this episode we continue the series looking at the Fast and Furious films, moving to "Fate of the Furious" and "Hobbs and Shaw." I look at how Fate of the Furious is able to maintain the success of Furious 7, but also the turmoil that comes at the end of production when Hobbs and Shaw was announced. Then with Hobbs and Shaw, I talk about why this one doesn't do as well. Was it the quality of the film? Were we seeing the "Disney Effect" that also crushed Terminator: Dark Fate that year? Maybe a combination of both?
