DTVC Extra 5, The Fast and Furious Franchise: F9 and Fast X

"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 finish our series looking at the Fast and Furious films with "F9: The Fast Saga" and "Fast X." I look at how F9 (which I call Fast 9 to make it easier) is one of the comfort food franchises people were looking for when theaters opened up again in 2021. Then with Fast X, I talk about my first trip to the theater to see a blockbuster in years, and how much that experience has changed since my last time going. I also compare the tail end of the franchise to a sitcom that may have been holding on too long to make it to rerun syndication, complete with going to space being the jumping of the shark, and the addition of the kid to the cast in Fast X--all we needed was that "very special episode" to make it complete.
