LISTEN TO THE PLUGGED IN SHOW, EPISODE 182
A confession: When I read the title Fast X, I think it sounds a little like some sort of mass-market digestive cure-all. (“Heartburn? Indigestion? Feel better fast with Fast X!”)
I am sure I am the only one who thinks such a thing. The rest of the world knows that it’s the latest chapter in the long-running Fast & Furious franchise—and perhaps the most noticeable harbinger of summer this side of sunscreen sales.
Summertime is movie time, of course. And while the calendar may tell us we’ve still got a month to go before summer officially hits, Hollywood’s own hottest season is now well under way. The Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off summer (as it often does) with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. But now, with the debut of Fast X, practically every week from here ‘til late August features a potential blockbuster.
This week, our team of cinematic experts combs through the summer movie season to tell you what’s buzzy, what we’re excited (or nervous) about and what parents might expect from Hollywood’s warm-weather slate.
And then we take a deeper dive into Fast X, one of the summer’s most anticipated films. Adam Holz and I talk about not only the movie, but the Fast & Furious franchise as a whole. Because, as it turns out, it’s not all about fast cars and furious explosions.
