Is 'The Fate of the Furious' the Beginning of the End?

The Fate of the Furious has already made almost a billion dollars worldwide, but does it also show the first signs of the franchise's decline? According to a superfan, the answer is yes.

That superfan is Holc, star of our Furious 7 megacast, and he's back for another round of Fast & Furious banter. The topic on this episode of the In Reel Deep Podcast is The Fate of the Furious, the latest entry in the internationally beloved franchise but perhaps the first since Fast Five to slow its meteoric rise with critics and audiences alike.

We examine why Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham work so well together, the lame addition of Scott Eastwood, Vin Diesel's checked-out nature, the over-saturation of action, and everything else F8 on the latest episode of the podcast.

This episode's theme is a violin and piano cover of "See You Again" by Alison Sparrow. Don’t forget to subscribe to the In Reel Deep Podcast on iTunes and Stitcher!
