We learned so much in this episode about the meaning of family, freedom, and driving real fast. While Dave was a fan already, Madeline had never seen a Fast & Furious movie, so we called on two experts to fulfill this mission: Em Gonzalez and Jo Giardini.

Em and Jo help us unpack everything from the geopolitical to the penis allusions of the entire franchise. Most of the discussion is about the eighth installment, Fate of the Furious, and none of the discussion requires any previous knowledge of any of it.

Spoilers: Vin Diesel impressions, no blondes allowed, Paul Walker is no longer alive, cars are impossible, man tears, no fatalities.

Em Gonzalez is an organizer around prison and police abolition, reproductive justice, and anti-sexual and domestic violence. They love chisme, fantastic meals, and long walks on brisk days. From the depths of Shudder to the best of Criterion Channel, Em enjoys various types of media and how they impact the way we look at the world and reflect moments in time.

Jo Giardini is a post-doctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University, where they teach for the Program for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality. Their research focuses on twentieth-century poetics, communalist and separatist movements, literary genre, and the intersection of political economy, racial capitalism, and the history of sexuality. They're currently working on a history of Johns Hopkins University's Gender Identity Clinic (1966-1979) and the production of trans narratives in the 1970s, among other projects. Hit them up with your favourite slasher recommendations, Trailer Park Boys hot takes, and used bookstore stories at joegia@gmail.com.
