Running Time: 1 hour 9 minutes 17
seconds

 

In 2009, Justin Lin returned to what
would become his marquee franchise with Fast &
Furious. The fourth film in the series was a return to basics,
featuring a reunion of the original cast, including both Paul
Walker and Vin Diesel, in an effort to revitalize the
franchise.

 

In this episode
of Commentary: Trek Stars, John and Mike are joined
by Zach Moore of Always Hold On To Smallville to
look at Lin's fifth film. We discuss the decision to bring Lin back
after Tokyo Drift, the stylistic differences between
the two films, and of course, the title. We also take a look at the
career of Star Trek 2017's newest writer, Jesse
Alexander.
