F9: The Fast Saga (Featuring Joe Black)

On the 189th episode of Piecing It Together, filmmaker Joe Black joins me to talk about the latest in the long running Fast & Furious series, F9: The Fast Saga. We both share a love of these ridiculous, over-the-top movies, so this had been easily one of our most awaited movies of the year. Along with the main influences conversation, we also ranked the Fast & Furious series. Puzzle pieces include Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Independence Day, Sharknado and Pulp Fiction.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for F9: The Fast Saga and the movies we discuss!
