#525 - Franchise Flashback: The Fast and Furious Saga (Part 1 of 2)

Do you want to go see the upcoming 9th "Fast and Furious" movie, but you've never seen any of the previous films? If so, the CB pod is here to solve your dilemma.
Who's ready to live their life a quarter-mile at a time? We're joined by Brian Lau to find out the answer to that through explaining the ENTIRE TIMELINE of the "Fast and Furious" film saga. This episode finds us looking at the original "The Fast and The Furious" through "Fast Five," as well as multiple other films that link some of the movies, and the character Han's origins in the film "Better Luck Tomorrow." B Lau has not seen most of these movies, and we do our best to get him up to "speed" on the plots, characters, and transition from sort-of-realistic street racing film to "the coolest driving sequence we can remember." This is part 1 of 2 in our Franchise Flashback for the "Fast and Furious" saga.
