Pop Culture Happy Hour: F9 Is Somehow Faster And Furious-er

Sam sits in the guest seat at <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510282/pop-culture-happy-hour">Pop Culture Happy Hour</a> to discuss the glue that holds this nation together — The Fast and the Furious franchise. Alongside NPR White House correspondent <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/599484393/ayesha-rascoe">Ayesha Rascoe</a>, as well as PCHH hosts <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/93702353/linda-holmes">Linda Holmes</a> and <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/912788259/aisha-harris">Aisha Harris</a>, the group talks about the legacy of the decades-spanning series, why we love to hate it, and how action films of this caliber could be considered "hetero camp."
