(S2, E20) The Heart and Seoul of the Fast and Furious

18 Aug

This week on Pop Culture Boner we’re looking at the Fast and Furious saga, something we talk about literally constantly but have never dedicated a full episode to. What could we be covering? Homoeroticism? Big sexy punching men? Cars? Nope! We’re talking about Han Lue AKA Han Seoul-Oh AKA the best bit of that franchise, baby!

You can find some references here:

Jake Kring-Schreifels (2021, The Ringer) - The Return of Han
