Our 200th Episode! Can ya believe it??? And what better way to celebrate than talking with our good pal Demi Adejuyigbe about the newest Fast & Furious film, F9. We put the film through our usual diagnostic test to see how it stacks up against the other Fast & Furious films. Plus, we take a Fast & Furious quiz to test our knowledge of the franchise as a whole. We have ‘Staff Picks,’ as usual. And, Producer Casey surprises us with a little something in honor of our 200th Episode. It is a ginormous show that is a culmination of all 199 previous episodes!
