Episode 29 - Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1 Movie Review
This week the guys re-watch one of the most pleasantly surprising film from Phase 2... Guardians of the Galaxy from 2014. This was the first extended look at Marvel Cosmic and featured a group of characters most moviegoing people didn't know anything about. This could have been an absolute disaster. Instead, it launched the Guardians and James Gunn into the mainstream.
