Show Notes

After Vin Diesel's full return to the Fast & Furious franchise in 2009 steered the series back on track (see what we did there?), he once again enjoyed the sort of clout he hadn't seen since early in his career. He utilized this clout to indulge in some of his "nerdier" sci-fi and fantasy interests. First, by bringing back his beloved Riddick character for a third film. And then, in 2015, by trying to start up a brand-new franchise loosely based on the original character he had created for his own real-life Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. But do audiences want to see Diesel battle witches, warlocks, and monsters as much as they want to see him drive fast cars? "No-VIN-ber" continues with our look at The Last Witch Hunter.
