Welcome to the first TRMPS episode of 2021! This month on The Rocky Maivia Picture Show, it’s a “Fast & Furious” film. You know what that means. Nate Milton takes another trip to the “Fastiverse” with Joey Lewandowski & Joe Two (2 Fast 2 Forever). The guys sit down in the theater (surrounded by thirty feet of concrete and steel) to review the 2015 blockbuster, “Fast & Furious 7”! Topics discussed include: Defeating 2020’s biggest threat (we see you, Ellen), the way the film handles the untimely death of Paul Walker, the near-impossible task of separating our thoughts on the movie from our thoughts about Walker, the lack of DJ in this film, and Lucas Black’s conspicuous cameo. All that PLUS some “WandaVision” talk on a fun-filled edition of TRMPS!

This is not another wrestling podcast—it's a chance for wrestling fans to share who we are behind our shared fandom.
