Justin Lin returns to direct the latest entry in the Fast Saga, F9. But despite Lin being back behind the wheel, reviews have been mixed for this installment. For this episode of The Film Board Podcast, Andy is joined by Film Board regular and Fast franchise fan Ocean Murff to discuss F9 and where it lands in the high-octane series. Do our thoughts align with the mixed reviews? How do we feel about the big action set pieces? And is the constant emphasis on "family" getting old? Tune in to hear our takes on F9, now playing in theaters! Whether you're a ride-or-die Fast fan or not, we break down if this entry pumps the brakes or keeps the pedal to the metal.
