Hi kiddos and welcome to another RFN podcast. For Episode #324 the summer blockbusters keep on coming with Fast X starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jason Mamoa. Not family or car topics today include, is the MCU dead, AI is taking over, and Fast XXX.

Do you love nonsensical action, bad stories, and characters that never really die? Then Fast X is right up your alley! Just like the previous nine films Fast X is over the top action with a really strange plot and characters that are not needed (looking at you Brie Larson). Basically if you like this series up to this point you will love this film. If you are not a fan of Fast and Furious or insane fantasy action then you might as well skip this one. It can be a ton of fun if you know what you are in for before you sit down in your seat. The best part of Fast X is Jason Mamoa’s villain Dante. You can tell he is just really having a ball playing a psycho killer out for revenge. He is so over the top but it really works well. 

Mike and Matt both agree this is not a must see film unless you love the Fast and Furious Franchise. Mike awards Fast X 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt just a smidge higher gives it 2.5 out of 5 Reels.   

Next week the guys change it up a bit with a good old fashioned family comedy, About My Father. Don’t forget to stay for the end to hear Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #14. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!
