It has been just a little over 18 years since The Fast and the Furious first graced our screens. Since then, we have seen spin-offs, and we are patiently waiting on the ninth installment.

Animated by DreamWorks Animation, the series will star Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf) as Tony, Vin Diesel’s iconic character Dominic Toretto’s cousin. Speaking of Vin Diesel, the series will stay in the family not just on-screen, but off-screen as well. Diesel’s daughter, Similce Diesel, will play Sissy, the younger sister of Frostee Benson (Luke Youngblood). Also, what is Fast & Furious without a crew? Joining Tony and Frostee are Layla Gray (Camille Ramsey), Echo (Charlet Chung), Cisco Renaldo (Jorge Diaz), and Shashi Dhar (Manish Dayal).
This will be the perfect series to hold us over as we wait for Fast & Furious 9 to arrive in theatres on May 22, 2020, and also to let a younger generation enjoy a part of our favorite racing movies. Make it a family affair on December 26 on Netflix when all episodes of Fast & Furious: Spy Racers arrive!

Another interview in our Rockwood series features the two singer-songwriters Hayden Lee and Paul Carella. Both Hayden and Paul have been part of the festival since its first year in 2015, and they both have been an integral part of the community and fandom that has formed around it.
In their interview they talk about what it is like to experience the festival with its “convention elements” like photo ops and autographs sessions as someone who is not usually working in this field. They present a perspective of two performers who have been exposed to a larger audience thanks to this festival and who have found a new fanbase and other musicians to collaborate with by performing here. Watch the interview below to also hear about their respective new records and their favorite parts about their joint tour in the summer 2019.
