Behind The Geeks | Why Fast & Furious Matters — A Conversation with Barry Hertz
Tuesday, 2 December, 2025

In this episode, Justin sits down with award-winning film critic and author Barry Hertz to talk about his new book, Welcome to the Family, an explosive deep-dive into the history, impact, and unbelievable behind-the-scenes chaos of the Fast & Furious franchise. The conversation explores why these films became a global phenomenon, how they reshaped Hollywood financially and culturally, and why Barry believes they deserve far more appreciation than they often get. From the franchise’s unlikely beginnings to its themes of family, representation, and sheer blockbuster ambition — this is a look at the saga many think they know, told by someone who’s spent years uncovering its truth.The book is available now in bookstores and online, in multiple formats: hardcover, eBook, and audiobook narrated by Barry himself.📚 Grab your copy here:Indigo (Canada – hardcover/eBook)Amazon (hardcover/Kindle)Audible (audiobook) Check out Geekcentric onYouTube | Instagram | Twitter | TikTokJoin the Geekcentric Discord HEREFollow Eatcentric - Same geeks.
