These movies so far have never undermined their essence: fast cars, street races, exciting vehicle driven missions, and of course, family. These movies are shamelessly entertaining, somehow consistently delivering on-character emotional punches within the most bizarre and cartoon-like of circumstances, so if you come into this party to complain about realism, please fuck off until you can manage to get that stick surgically removed from your rectum. You gotta like your entertainment with extra cheese to hang out with this crew.However, you can only escalate so far. We all know the #1 rule in this franchise: if you’re the bad guy from the previous movie, you join the family in the next film. It is THE sticking point that gives this series its charm.But this new baddie makes a point of going against that trope, telling us the audience that they’re aware that they can’t keep this up forever and hopefully will be closing up shop for good soon because the family dinner table is getting a little crowded. Please please please bring back everybody for one last ride, and then respectfully and lovingly lay this adored franchise, and Dominic Toretto, to rest.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423Nanz: https://www.youtube.com/@hiro5449
