If Statham hadn't become part of the crew, I would be a little disappointed. But now? I'm all for HAN being back. Whatever, let's just have fun with this dumbass series.

Team Jeff; Ben is suddenly getting hung up on “logic” after 8 entire films of ridiculous nonsense.

Also to counteract the top 10 hate - it is easily the best part (and often only good part) of UPF these days.

Ben went from being very extra in the first half of the show to being cranky for the rest of it. I feel like those Star Wars spoilers are a bit early too but I guess anyone who cares already saw the movie

Honestly, Ben getting all hot about Han reveal but handwaves Jesse's, the guy who dies in the first movie, death because they didn't confirm he died in another movie or ignores Letty's resurrection kinda defangs his rage for me.

I mean he's talking about emotional investment when you consider Vince (another member of the original crew) died in Fast Five, his son's birth mother was killed in front Dom,Wonder Woman's still dead and there is a list of deaths on the fast and furious wiki for cripes' sake!!! How can the second person resurrected in as many movies put him in such a tizzy?

Would Ben be as upset if that was Vince, Jesse or Gisele was the reveal?

Also, I didn't know I felt such foolish anger at someone being angry at Fast and Furious.

This game is also sale at GoG for about $18 - and hey, somewhat cheaper and it;s an actual purchase instead of some form of loan.

Dang, Ben is VERY upset that Han is coming back. I am personally very excited, because it exemplifies how insanely stupid the franchise has become and brings back a beloved character.

Idris Elba was literally a cyborg man in Hobbes and Shaw.

Also - I generally didn't have much conversation with cab drivers (well, still don't), so I don't see why I should get all chatty with an Uber driver. Why should I treat that experience any different?

I am 100% fully on Jeff's side of this argument. I will see this dumb, dumb movie. I skipped F8 and H&S on moral grounds, but this looks like it's making up for it and i'm board.

The Barnes-Kobe clip looks like he fakes right at Kobe's face but a different angle shows he's faking it well to the right of Kobe. Still incredible that he was totally unfazed but it's not quite as dramatic as it looks.

Ben, buddy, it's just a dumb movie. It's really not worth getting that upset over. Smoke a fat one and cool down.

I'm gonna double down on what some other duders have said, generally the parts of UPF where they play games are dogshit. They're almost always garbage ass games that the crew found on steam 10 minutes before the stream started. Business dave is a savior and Ben Appetit/Jan Can cook are always bangers.

Yo I mourned this man's death. That's the thing. Now that means nothing. I felt that for nothing.

Wait, MGSV? Venom Han?

Why Kill Statham? He apparently didn't kill Han. I bet they even explain that he was working with Han to help him disappear to escape Cena or some shit, making more entire movies mean nothing.

Just wanna say I love the Top 10 segment and pretty much anything Business Dave related. I know comments can sometimes turn into the vocal minority (Dan/Abby/Patrick railroading, etc)

What got me steamed was equating this to the Marvel movies, when characters that have died in the MCU (not snapped away, but friggin' merced) have stayed dead! Only reason we'd be seeing them again is via time travel.

If you told me the one on the left was one of the two main frozen ladies I'd believe you

Hmm... I think someone working on Code Shifter was lets say heavily inspired by the Tangled TV series...

I enjoyed this UPF.

Business Dave is great.

I think bringing Han back is a bad move, but I'll watch it opening day. And 8 is certainly worse than 7.

Ben. It's the Fast and the Furious. Calm down. lmao

So obviously that's not really the issue here. I hope whatever is bothering or stressing you works out soon man. Take care of yourself.

I love Kobe but if you look up the overhead shot of that inbound fake, Kobe is actually standing closer to the camera and not directly in front of the ball. It’s a bit of a LOTR hobbit optical illusion

I personally love the top ten segment, some of the best parts of GB content each week. All the hate from the community, in general, is pretty fucking toxic, man.
