Nonsense Train to Nonsenseville – A Review of The Fate of the Furious pt.1

The Fast & Furious franchise isn’t just about NOS and neck-snapping physics anymore; it’s about shadowy cabals, hairstyle symbolism, and screenplay chaos.

Show Notes

Welcome aboard the cinematic bullet train where continuity is optional, physics is a rumor, and every character behaves like they’re starring in a slightly different movie. In this first installment of our Fate of the Furious review, we unpack Dom’s sudden villain arc, Cipher’s Wi‑Fi‑powered reign of terror, and the franchise’s ongoing commitment to escalating nonsense until the audience simply gives up and accepts it as a lifestyle.

What We Cover

The rapidly expanding cabal of Forer enemies quietly puppeteering the franchise from the shadows — because apparently Fast & Furious now has its own Illuminati, complete with secret grudges and PowerPoint decks
Why Charlize Theron chose to rock twists as Cipher, and how the choice is doing more character work than half the script
The alleged Rock vs. Vin Diesel rivalry, including the rumor that both men submitted last‑minute script notes in crayon like two camp counselors fighting over who gets to direct the talent show
Cipher’s villain toolkit: drones, dreadlocks, and the kind of omnipotent hacking abilities that suggest she has root access to the universe
Hobbs’ prison escape, which raises the eternal question: are the walls weak, or is The Rock simply too strong for architecture
Ludacris and Tyrese continuing their long‑running competition to see who can derail a scene with the most enthusiasm
Car hacking as the franchise’s new all‑purpose spell, capable of doing anything short of filing taxes
The origin of the now‑immortal comparison: “Like 50 First Dates, with guns and cars”

Additional Threads and Tangents

Dom’s moral compass, which now spins like a ceiling fan in a hurricane
The franchise’s ever‑expanding definition of “family,” which now includes cyberterrorists, frenemies, and anyone who can operate a clutch
The #HeIsStillACop theory, exploring why Hobbs radiates law‑enforcement energy even when he’s technically unemployed

Is Skynet okay. Should someone check on it. Does a T‑800 dream of electric therapy bills.And because no episode is complete without roasting a beloved icon, the Giants revisit Superman’s rookie mistakes, the early days when the world’s greatest hero was still figuring out how not to yeet cars into orbit or accidentally demolish small businesses while stopping purse snatchers.If you enjoy pop‑culture chaos, sci‑fi spirals, and four grown adults trying to out‑tangent each other, this episode is your new comfort noise.#tangentialgiants #podcastchaos #GregCipes #popculturedebate #TerminatorLore #SciFiNerds #TimeLoopTalk #SkynetSpirals #SupermanFails #RookieSupes #NerdCulture #geektalkph #comedypodcast #popculturepodcast #KareemKenPatTim
