Whether or not you live your life a quarter mile at a time, we’ve got All Kinds of Philler for you! This episode is all about The Fast and the Furious, the racing/heist film franchise with a new installment this summer. Like the new movie, Earl assembles his team: Tony, returning once again to the podcast, as well as Brent, whose puns may have finally gotten the better of him. They end up discussing things like the series’ mythology, gangsta James Bond, why they’re such fun to watch, Justin Lin, and even cultural diversity. Spoilers on the latest film towards the second half of the episode.
Guests:
Brent Peckham
“Ride or Die” Tony
