‘The Fast and the Furious’ is one of the biggest franchises in movie history, grossing nearly $6 billion at the box office and spanning nine films over 20 years. 

The latest instalment in the series, F9, was released in cinemas last week.

This week on The Culture we discuss what makes ‘The Fast and the Furious’ so compelling, and why it deserves to be recognised as this generation’s James Bond.

Guest: Culture writer and author Sinead Stubbins
