Ep. 35 The Fast and the Furious

Leo Brady and Charles Gainey
This week on Scene Stealers we live our lives a quarter mile at a time. Whatever that means. But seriously, we are talking about Rob Cohen's 2001 foreign film The Fast and the Furious. We say foreign because it started what would become the biggest heist movie franchise of all time but it looks nothing like what we get in the future. This is a damn good movie. For the vault, Leo talks about Guy Ritchies 2023 war film The Covenant and Charles takes a spin with Jan de Bont's 1996 movie Twister. But yes the big one this week is The Fast and the Furious and we debate if it's a Point Break rip-off, if Vin Deisel is a good actor, and how the first installment holds up today. If you listen now, we just might get you a 10-second car.
