Mega64 Movie Club: The Fast And The Furious
We've heard about this fast car franchise for years, but none of us had seen any of them. Well, if any movie has spawned over 1000 sequels, it's a rule that we gotta watch the first one. Let's dig into The Fast and The Furious and see what we think!

Do the first Mission Impossible movie. Great spy thriller by Brian de Palma. Please thank you
Man the fact Derrick hasn't seen UHF is surprising but considering the influences seen from it in MEGA64 looking forward to seeing his take on it
Would really like to hear Derrick's thoughts on Point Break since this movie is essentially following the same story and beats even in the ending.
Mannn if you watched the first 3, at least get to 5. Fast 5 is a legit fun blockbuster, and it ties all the "lore", I guess, together. It's great.
Is there a way to get all of these episodes in an audio-only feed on apple podcasts? I know other Patreons have patron-exclusive feeds like that. I understand if you guys don’t wanna do that though.
Could you guys do a "Movie Trivia" segment again? That was really fun! I actually paused it to make a list of my guesses for the top 10 grossing franchises :)

One of the greatest sagas of all time! Glorious, powerful, fun to have more Fast content here at the Mega64
Great review! Loved the different perspectives lol, it makes the discussion a bit more spicy when everyone has a different feeling about the movie
Would be interested to see them do Tokyo Drift, it's probably one the most earnest of all of them.
I was bummed Derrick interrupted Rocco twice when he was about to talk about Tokyo Drift. I don’t think they’ll watch it, but I bet Rocco will make a personal channel video once he finishes the whole franchise.
Rocco is 100% right about the appeal of these movies beyond just the action and cars. The misfit family that’s on the other side of the law, but still has good values like loyalty and forgiveness. It’s not my cup of tea, but I understand why it’s endearing to a certain audience that probably doesn’t get movies made for them a lot. I think Suicide Squad tried to tap into this, but didn't nail it, obviously.
It was a great movie for what it was. Cheesy and fun.
