The Fast & Furious saga. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss F9: The Fast Saga (2021) and The Fast and the Furious (2001), the latest and initial films in the Fast and the Furious saga. We begin by discussing Jeremy's lack of exposure to the films, with Sarah and William filling in the blanks. We talk to the legacy of the series, including its representation of people of colour, masculinity, femininity and family. We then return to joyfully recounting our favourite parts of the series. We compare the original to a range of films of the same time, including Charlie's Angels, The Matrix and Ocean's Eleven. We then talk about... magnets!
