Widely considered one of the worst in the franchise, we break down why this movie only gets better with age, acting as a bridge between what the franchise was, and what it will eventually become. We discuss how Justin Lin and Vin Diesel were able to create a franchise purely for the fans, the series' insane naming conventions, the importance of the roles each cast member fills, and ponder what the future holds for Fast & Furious post Dominic Toretto. Plus, we discuss the recently released F9, and how it connects all the way back to Fast & Furious!Find Griffin at: twitter.com/grifflightningPodcast Like It's 1999: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-like-its-1999Twitter: twitter.com/podcastlike1999Instagram: instagram.com/podcastlike1999Reddit: reddit.com/r/podcastlikeits See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
