Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports and 3Chi. I am your host, Robbie Fox. Along with me is my co-host, Clem. And today, we are here to say goodbye to this era of the Guardians of the Galaxy. It's a bittersweet day. It's a very bittersweet moment bittersweet movie overall guardians of the galaxy volume 3 is finally out it is james gunn's final marvel movie he said that a ton of the guardians cast has said this will probably be it for their characters at least for a little while and man we saw it last night opening night we went together

i drove up north of the wall and we went to the alamo draft house was my first experience there and i had a blast clem i i really needed this movie to hit it's been a rough week it's been a rough uh couple months for marvel some would say you know we've been a little more positive than most but people needed this movie to hit and for me i gotta say it really hit but i'm gonna throw the floor to you right away because guardians are your thing these are your babies as much as they're james guns yep yep and uh i enjoyed the movie had fun liked it uh like you said marvel needed a win here more than anything in the world this was like you're eating the you had the appetizer not good the dinner wasn't good you're like they gotta hit the cake the cake's coming james gunn is known for his cakes they're always fucking good and the man delivered like he always does

and you said bittersweet i feel like there's a lot of bitterness and a lot of sweetness because two things i'm hearing just on people who watched it where i loved it and i cried so it's like there's a lot of bitter and a lot of sweet. But the fact that it's sweet instead of being like either I hated this shit or it's a divisive movie where some people like it, some people hate it. Pretty much universal. I think a lot of people are going to love it. I think a lot of people are going to like it. I don't think there's a lot of people who even don't like it, let alone hate it. I don't think you can really hate that movie that we watched.

I agree. Right. I agree. I think there is an aspect of the movie that i think comic fans are gonna hate i think people are gonna like be you know up in arms about one aspect of the movie we'll get into that when we talk spoilers and everything this week's guardians of the galaxy edition of my mom's basement is brought to you by three chi of all the things in life one of the best has to be getting high whenever you want wherever you want without the paranoia of consuming some sketchy black market stuff.

Now let's get back into the pod overall i did i wanted to say the alamo draft house experience very very fun we had a guy come out before the movie who like worked for marvel for 17 years or something he's like oh yeah i'm in the first episode of miss marvel i was on set 10 years ago with james

gunn watching him direct i'm so proud of this, like what he's done ever since giving out comics, giving out statues to kids, kids were doing. I am group impersonations. If you've never been to an Alamo draft house, no ads, this is not, not a free ad or whatever.

I recommend it. It was great. Yeah. That's kind of one of my go-tos for like big time movie premieres. Cause they have a little pre-show a half hour before they'll just clip some YouTube videos or just kind of stuff to get you hyped for the movies like i've seen some star wars movies there and they'll show commercials from like the 70s and 80s and even die hard i saw and there's like because they'll do like the retro movies so they'll do die hard and then it's

like all the little spoofs that die hard has had along the years and stuff like that so i love you and if you work for alamo draft house advertised with the podcast, help keep the basement lights on. If you work for a competitor of Alamo draft, that's even better because then we'll really suck your dick and we'll say, fuck the Alamo draft house. Also, if you work for a movie theater,

try to convince your bosses to let us run an event there, you know, like reach out to us and be like, Hey, we'll let you run an event in our movie theater and we'll have the basement boys and girls come down and we'll watch, we'll put together our own little curation of 70s trailers and stuff before a movie.

That would be super fun. Let's get into the movie, though. There's a lot to talk about. It was a long movie. It was a pretty long movie. I don't know what the actual runtime was, but it felt long in the theater. Not a bad way, but I was just like, oh, shit.

We've been here for a while. Yeah, I think if they had paired 10, 15 minutes off, I don't think I would have complained. I didn't leave in like, oh, man, that was too long. But I was like, oh, like, I think it could have went a little shorter. I feel like we've either been like that could have been an hour shorter or you could have given me another half hour. I would have been fine. This I was pretty much fine with altogether.

And listen, if you're on YouTube, like, comment, subscribe. Give us your reviews in the comments. Give us your reviews, your fast food reviews if you want. I always love hearing people's fast food. What item at a fast food restaurant would you compare Guardians 3 to? Just let us know and then let us know your thoughts why you chose that because it's my two things. I love the Guardians. I love my fast food.

Put them together. Let me eat, baby. So we open with an awesome Marvel intro, all Guardians themed. That's how the movie began. So cool. And it, you know, gets the chills going right away. And it makes you think like, oh, shit, this is the last 10 years of our lives. The Guardians have been here.

And this is pretty much it for this version of the team. It sets that tone right away with the song Creep by Radiohead as well. It's Rocket Raccoon just just walking through nowhere listening to it on peters is it a zune at this point what does he have from guardians 2 yeah it was a zune in 2 and at first the way like the angle was that i was like is that did we upgrade to ipod because i think it was one of our predictions was we were going to get the ipod with the wheel and at this point i think it still was the zune and as like you're a guardians fan the music is like if it's not the number one thing you're thinking about because it could be the characters

or whatever your favorite storyline is music is top three and as soon as we're starting with a creep cover i'm like all right well i guess it's the acoustic version i was like all right we're ready to rock and i was like check mark big check for the first song james gunn absolutely nailed that and it kind of just gets you it sets you in the right mood right it kind of just puts you in the right spot whenever i uh what speaking of creep the cover of it for um social network i still remember that commercial and i was just like holy fuck that movie's going to be awesome and i was kind kind of like, it was and it was. I was like, let's buckle up. We are going on a ride now.

I want to repost the Dave Chappelle clip of him doing it with the Foo Fighters and just be like everyone this weekend after seeing Guardians 3, just doing creepy karaoke. I loved this, though, and I loved the awesome next volume three. Overall, I thought there was a lot of musical moments in the movie, and I feel like that could be criticized by someone that's not into that like every scene felt like they had a different song to pair with it i'm not going to be the guy to criticize it i might be the guy to love it more

than anyone in the world as a music fan like you said your two favorite things guardians and snacks guardians and rock and roll are my two favorite this This was like, I would love to know compared to the first two movies, I would assume this one had more songs in it than either of those two. So, someone that loves the Guardians and the music side of it especially, I think this one had great songs

because I'm thinking, I think we were talking awesome mix forever now. We've been like, what's going to be on it? I know it leaked or it was online and I was like, I'm we were talking awesome mix forever now. We've been like, what's going to be on it? I know it leaked or it was online and I was like, I'm not looking until I see the movie. I would say out of the three movies, this is probably my, is number

three on the list in terms of the music. And I also think a part of that was, I do think sometimes they maybe shoehorned the music in for a couple of scenes where I didn't think it, like, that's Guardians. Guardians is the music plays, the scene takes place, it's it's fucking awesome there were some scenes that were awesome i think those like i'm getting goosebumps just thinking that there was some awesome music but also there was a couple times where i'm like i was like yeah like so in two two's my favorite

gardens we've talked about this a ton of times on the pop um a lot of the songs that i love in two i never heard until it was in two, you know, like when Yondu with the arrow and then Southern nights when rockets blast and all the fucking, all Yondu's henchmen in the air. Those are two songs I don't think I have ever heard of in my life. And I love them now just because of guardians. There was a few scenes where it felt like it didn't have the same magic. Now I'm going to go watch this in two days with my family.

I think it could be like a rewatchable thing where the more i watch it the more i love it but that was one criticism i had is i think the music hit better um and took like again two and i know this is some people don't agree they a lot of people go one and then two or and i don't know how it'll be with three i mean you got fucking the chain playing as he's fighting his father and then father and son as yondu's being you know cremated into space i just they hit every musical cue for me i think this movie i think all three movies are very different right now right and i think oh yeah so i think the first one is is like a jailbreak a heist jailbreak whatever you want to

call it two is more like heart i feel because you're dealing with a lot of the father issues and stuff. A little bit of Star Wars. Yes, definitely. And then this one's dark. Let's call it what it is. Jimmy Gunn got dark on us, and I got to know. I got to know, Bob. I got to know.

And I know James Gunn gives answers that I don't know if he's 100% truthful with online. I got to know if that script changed from when he before he got fired for the, you know, tweets after he got fired. Because I'm like, that'll make a man get a little dark if you get fired. You know what I was thinking, too, is like, it's such a dark movie. Did he make the holiday special? Because he's like, fuck, I got to get some jokes out before I'm done. Like, we got to make something lighthearted. And they did reference the holiday special pretty much right away like i think during the intro it was really quick like oh yeah peter quill's been depressed ever since obviously gamora and all that and ever since he found out you're his half sister and it's just a

quick line like that but it is a little shout out to the holiday special fans and then you get a little like easter egg tease nod to it in the post-credit scene which was also great it is a little shout out to the holiday special fans. And then you get a little like Easter egg tease nod to it in the post credit scene, which was also great. It got a big laugh out of the whole theater. Yeah. I was really hoping we would get that. Like I wanted to feel like the holiday special was part of it.

Cause it wasn't good. And it was well done enough that it feels like it should be a part of it. Cause we all took our time and watched it. And you know, Cosmo is just part of the gang now, which I think you'd have to watch the holiday special To realize Cosmo is a part of this Even though we've met Cosmo before

That was the other thing The beginning of the movie And maybe it's just the vibes Or it was maybe the way that Chris Pratt was acting It felt more like the holiday special kind of vibes Maybe it's just around Nowhere And that's the state of Nowhere

Which kind of has gone up and down Since we met it in Guardians 1. I just had Christmas or holiday special vibes at the beginning of it, and he was almost like a goofy drunk. He didn't feel like legitimately drunk, right? of uh thor in end game where you're riding the line of playing it for a little bit for comedy but also the character's super depressed and you're trying to show like that they're at the bottom of whatever and he's getting up and he's like hey rocket i told you to keep those raccoon hands off my stuff or whatever um i did like the crag when in cosmo scene in the beginning when when he calls her bad dog and she's like oh my god you can't call me a bad dog

what the so i gotta ask you bob you're a dog owner you've had you know a bunch of dogs in your life have you ever called one of your dogs a bad dog oh yeah like you have to like if they poop on the floor you say it but then like five five minutes later i'm the kind of dog owner who i'm like i'm so sorry i said that i didn't mean it i'm like pet i'm giving him treats and everything and that was a big part of this movie for me and i said it to you rocket raccoon really reminds me of a dog that i had growing up my dog murphy and if you are a dog owner especially someone that had a tiny little dog that maybe looks like a raccoon looks like a little cute little raccoon baby this movie's gonna destroy you because the animal cruelty in this movie makes me want to fucking go vegetarian tomorrow it made the high evolutionary

like the my most hated villain since thanos easily at the end of the movie i was literally like i was getting animated i was like fuck him up get him so i have that in my notes uh i almost want to go vegan now After watching this movie I thought that has never entered my mind For a millisecond I don't know if I could ever go to a zoo again Even a zoo where they really take care of the animals

I learned this I don't know if we mentioned this on the pod But I think Aussie Dave told us this When we went down to Disney The size of the safari plot at animal kingdom is the size of the magic kingdom's entire it's bigger than the magic kingdom that's how big just the safari plot is so these animals can you know stretch their legs and they you know can roam freely even with that i'm just like damn though let these motherfuckers just

go out and have this and that this was a big takeaway from this movie. We've had all these nuanced Marvel villains that I always end up pulling. I love the bad boys, right? I love my boy Thanos. I'm not going to say the current villain's name because I don't want to say I like that guy. That's a problem. The High Evolutionary. If you watch this movie, you're like, I like that guy.

This guy's cool you have some fucking issues in the tissues man you are fucked up that guy right to jail yeah right to jail like that is uh it's like the roshark the roshark i don't know how to say yeah roshak yeah roshak test it's like do you see this guy and does he have any redeeming qualities if you say yes straight to jail like for fucking life maybe just throw you in the electric chair now. And that was one nice thing about this movie. It's like the whole theater was like, fuck that guy, kill that guy. I guess Ronan is kind of an absolute zero in Guardians 1.

Ego, like you're not rooting for ego at all, even though you understand like where he's coming from. But this guy, oh boy. So I don't know if you were probably pretty young when finding nemo came out but that was the big thing i remember is that when it came out all these parents were buying clownfish and then they didn't you know it was a saltwater tank you don't know how to like take care of a solar thing the true idiots of the world didn't even know there was saltwater fish and they would just put them in there and they die in the fresh water and i'm like i don't want anyone to be buying baby

raccoons right now i don't even know where you can even buy i mean i'm sure if you go on the dark web you could buy baby raccoons at this instant no one buy baby raccoons if you're listening bad idea don't even fucking think about it because i'm telling you put them in the cages just let them roam free let them go through your garbage if they want to you know they live here too there you go so if you want to like make a change for the raccoon population pop the tops in your garbage lids tonight and you know give a little piece give a little piece i'll tell you though grown-ass raccoons ain't nearly as cute as baby raccoons baby raccoons are fucking adorable they're like they're like uh i don't know what's s tier i'm gonna give them

a tier at least though baby animals they might be s tier though holy fuck those things were cute dude baby rocket's gonna take over like merchandise like baby yoda right so this is my take that i wanted to make when i was watching this movie i think baby rocket is cuter than any character in the mcu other than Groot in Guardians 2. So I'm telling you right now, Baby Rocket is cuter than Baby Groot at the end of Guardians 1 when he's dancing to Jackson 5. That Groot is cute. He ain't fucking Volume 2 Groot.

I'll tell you this myself. I think he fucking goes head to head with Baby Yoda. We've had a couple fights about this. I'm not saying saying he wins but i'm saying they go to the cards in my opinion yeah baby rocket though and he's fucking talking he's oh blue sky oh walk it and so so fucking cute i can't i when i rewatch this movie it's i'm as excited to like see little baby rocket talking again as i am just like the rest of the movie i know me too and speaking of rocket right as he's just getting ready to go to bed nowhere's complete they're like oh it's finally renovated it looks good we put up the sign guardians of the galaxy adam warlock

boom crashes through his window completely like sends him through three different buildings nebula sees it peter quill sees it they're like what the fuck is going on they get into a complete fight adam warlock if you don't remember it was in the post-credit scene of guardians 2 he created by the empress of the sovereign who is like his mother in this movie and they want to bring rocket back to the high evolutionary who is their ultimate boss as well rocket gets a horrible horrible blast in his chest during this fight and they try to put a med pack on it but it only makes it worse. And they're like, what the fuck is happening? Nebula screams, take it off.

She knows a little bit more about the tech world, obviously being tortured with technology. And they bring him onto the med bay on the ship and find out that he is a kill switch in his system created by whoever made him this way. The high evolutionary, as we know, and they can't operate on him without killing him, essentially, because of this kill switch. So they head to the Orgo sphere to try to override the code. They're like, this is where he was created. And we start seeing flashbacks. I think this is when we start seeing flashbacks.

If I'm a little messed up with the plot, sorry, it's Wikipedia. But we see Baby Rocket getting experimented on they shave his little head they do like a brain experiment he's still bleeding a little bit and he meets some other animals that had been experimented on who befriend him uh lila the otter they don't name themselves yet but not or um someone who's like floor floor what is floor bunny was she bunny with uh yeah bunny with like the like a bear trap mouth kind of and then an otter or a walrus maybe walrus i don't walrus yeah because he had the tusks um but they're so nice to him teeths yeah they're like don't be afraid i'm so sorry this happened to you like and he just goes hurt and clem that that line hurt broke my heart in that little voice i turned to you and

i was like look at my face right now and i just had tears rolling on my cheeks i saw one single tear and it was like screaming man it was yeah there was a lot of water in that one half of your body was lost in that tear in terms of dude i know we've talked about on the show i'm a crier i get emotional at movies other than like the chadwick boseman stuff in black panther i don't think i've cried in a marvel movie since endgame so them getting me in like the first 10 minutes of this one i was like oh fuck we're in for it we're in for a tough one here it's gonna be rough um but but really cool opening to the movie and obviously it sets you up for an interesting dynamic where throughout the whole movie,

if you were to name a main character, I would say it's rocket raccoon, but he's not really in most of the movie. It's mostly through flashbacks. It's very weird. So this is the rocket movie. So the first two have been quill movies, obviously.

And this one is, and I guess the first is a quill movie, but it, it kind of, it's kind of the whole guardians movie too, is definitely cool. Cause you're dealing with all his kind of the whole guardians movie too is definitely cool because you're dealing with all his family stuff the entire time this is the rocket movie and even you know when we get to rocket when he comes back i could have actually used a little bit more of

like present day rocket i would have liked that more but i loved learning his whole background and i do think like if the guardians do move on going forward he's going to be you know like the captain the head guy in charge of it all. And I think he really like it, it galvanized everyone behind him. I, I loved having rocket. I didn't think he'd be in this much.

And then I was like, they fucking kill him at the end of all this. But yeah, man, the shaved head, just seeing how, how you've always gotten like the hints of it, where it's like,

this fucking guy is so smart. He can piece together all these different weapons. He can fly. He's so fucking incredible. And just seeing like the, the little humble beginnings of it where it's like this fucking guy is so smart he can piece together all these different weapons he can fly he's so fucking incredible and just seeing like the the little humble beginnings of it all speaking of humble beginnings so this is the thing that i think a lot of people are going to be upset about the comic fans adam warlock is like from what i can understand and this is someone that has not read any adam warlock comic books with him in it sounds like he is a bad motherfucker he's like a gold superman right and he comes in they give him the sickest entrance crazy on you playing as i was like oh fuck i've been waiting for this since we saw his little cocoon at the end of uh volume two here we go he's gonna start fucking everyone up he fucks everyone

up right and then he uh like he he gets kind of like you know they they fight back and the guardians do what they do and he leaves and i was like oh that's weird i just yeah i didn't think he was just gonna kill everybody oh my god i'm sure we'll see more of him later he'll come back adam warlock was kind of a chunk this movie but i understand why they had they have to nerf these super duper hero characters because you can't just have a superman come in because he just would win and go about his business but i threw the words around here phasma moff gideon those are the level of fucking chump like disappointments i had for him so far so far and i'm telling you i'm not really upset because i really don't know him i know the other adam warlock had the soul stone in his head so that's a whole it's not the same dude this guy just has like a little fucking it's like a

decorative fucking notch he's got the low uzi vert uh he's like a rip off he's like a fake vision he's like you know i wanted vision mom said we envisioned at home and they gave me adam warlock that's kind of how i felt like with him yeah he he didn't he didn't really hit for me in this movie adam warlock was actually the only part of the movie that i would say didn't really land for me and he was fighting an uphill battle as it was we're calling him the where the millers kid the whole time right we're like how can we take this kid seriously like you said an awesome opening scene like that first fight where he hurts rocket the way he does and everything he comes off as a huge threat to the guardians the kind of threat that i thought he would be at the end of volume two from that moment on in the movie i think every one of his scenes is just

like a comedic relief scene pretty much where he's treated as a kid because he just got taken out of the incubator so he's got like the intelligence of a five-year-old i did talk to our friend jose young's a massive Adam Warlock fan, a massive comic book fan. He's outraged. He can't believe this. He's like, he's outraged.

Yes. He's like, are you kidding me? Like that is massively disappointing. He's still very happy to see the movie. He's very excited to see the movie. Cause I told him a little bit about it. Jose is one of these comic book fans.

Who's like, please tell me all of the spoilers and that will determine whether or not i see the movie so i kind of laid everything out for him i think he's very much looking forward to it he said the high evolutionary i'm so glad that they chose him as the villain and everything but yeah he he's pretty upset that adam warlock is treated as he is and i i think he probably speaks for a lot of comic book fans now i will say this and people are like pocket the outrage if you guys are outraged about this they say clearly he's a baby he got taken out of the incubator early like robbie said i understand that and again you have to kind of like make this stuff

work and you know jumping way ahead here i don't think adam warlock in his you know maybe in his like super duper badass state will become a guardian. I kind of like him like figuring it out as a guardian. And he's kind of just playing the backup role. He's coming off the bench right now. It's like this. This is the guy. This is like, it feels like he's a number one pick.

This is Andrew Wiggins. Andrew Wiggins came out, kind of didn't give us what we thought we were gonna get with him. And now, you know, he's on the Warriors and he's fucking gonna, he won a championship last year, played a big role in that. And maybe only gets better I am excited to see him get better and I am excited to maybe see like a different Adam Warlock from another you know like in the Secret Wars maybe that Adam Warlock with the Soul Stone and that dude's just you know cutting motherfuckers off so again this is my only

issue you bring you have an entrance with crazy on you yeah just let that dude just cook the whole time just let him cook but that's just you know um i love that song i i was very interested to see the character i i and it's not something i thought it was going to be but again i'll be fine with it when it's all said and done i also uh we had talked about james gunn with the script a little earlier i do want to know if there would have been any difference if the timeline had matched up. He never gets fired. COVID never happens.

And if we start with Thor on the ship, I just feel like if you have post end game Thor on the ship, it's a funnier, light heart, more lighthearted movie. And again, James Gunn tweeted at us, right?

He replied to our tweet and was like, is like i said uh i think like i would have loved to have seen thor on and he's like no thor was never meant to be in guardian 3 it's like well they ended endgame with him getting on this i'm gonna call bullshit jimmy but that's just me i don't want to call my guy a liar i love the guy i'm excited a lot of people thought it was going to be as guardians of the galaxy right that's like what we were talking about where like the next movie is going to be called that. And, but yeah,

that's, I'm also confused. Like, do you think he planned more for Adam Warlock at the end of volume two? Like that is a huge, like mid credits. Oh my God, here he is.

And then he doesn't really have anything to do in volume three. Really. Did he set that up for infinity war? Like, Hey, if you guys want to use them for infinity war i just introduced i don't know that's actually that's a great question too because i have a hard time believing that reveal is like uh you know kind of brain dead idiot you know i mean he's

being compared to drax in terms of like you know brain level which is exactly who i would compare him to yeah yeah and if that's how you want to do it that's how you want to do it i was just you know and it's like that's a problem i think we're comic book not even comic book fans just movie fans especially blockbuster movie fans we go with our expectations and when they don't hit we're like oh i hate this i hate that and it's like i i just wanted to see more from adam warlock but i know he's gonna get there at some point yeah this is just someone who hasn't read the books but like x-men x-men when you guys are making x-men don't make wolverine like this like just don't do it there's certain characters that like just don't fuck with my brain like just just get them in and if you're gonna make him do that don't bring him to like crazy on you or anything of that level

yeah you have to be like magic man pocket magic man for a guy who fucking deserves that that goddamn song. And don't make him fucking suck when he comes in. So I'll be very interested. I think this is one of the criticisms that we will consistently see along the way when it's all said and done. And by the way, Asgard into the galaxy. The way that fuck, that was like one of the biggest takeaways from Infinity War. I couldn't believe the chemistry that uh thor had with the guardians

like it feels like he it felt like a guardians movie right off the bat and then he comes in and it was seamless if not better and it's so hard to do with this great cast of characters that feels like family yeah and in the end of at the end of the day adam warlock was such a small part of this movie that him being my biggest gripe with it is like i had an issue with like two percent of the movie at that point so and in a sick way his mom being back around and kind of sucking because the high priestess she was such a c-word i could we call her a c-word i won't say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah she was not anymore in in volume two yeah r.p. and peace so i was very happy to see her taking down a peg. I will say that. Yeah, absolutely. So the Ravagers board their ship when they're going towards the Orga Sphere or whatever, Orga Corp. The Ravagers board the ship.

Sylvester Stallone, a great little scene for him. Gamora as well. This is the Gamora from the past. They agree to help. Gamora is back with the Guardians, but very reluctantly. And Peter tells Gamora when they go, they have their little In the Meantime. Was that the song? What's the Space Hog song? Yeah hog song yeah in the meantime in in the meantime they do that moment hit hard in the movie as well and he tells her how he really feels again he's like you know we

were in love i think we could give this a shot again he thinks he's on a private channel he's talking to all the guardians i thought that was a really funny scene and her dagger line at him she was like quinn i don't think this is gonna work it's just like oh you and me looked at each other like face bombs like secondhand embarrassment for our boy cringe that's uh cringe worthy as the kids say and we picked up on it before the theater did she said yeah we went ah and then he's like no it's quill and then the rest of the theater went ah like that's just so fucking tough and this is something that i just hope people appreciate man if you see your ex there and like not your ex like you guys were dated for a couple weeks or a couple months or back in elementary school and it's like not even a real thing but if this is

someone that like you were ready to fucking kill for, you were ready to die for. He loved her so much. He was ready to put a fucking laser beam in her chest right in front of her father to kill her. Right. And save, you know, the universe and marry her and whatever kind of stuff and all the shit they went through to then see that person come back. But it's not that person is like the worst form of psychological torture you could basically put on someone other than maybe like his mom coming back to life and not knowing who he is it was so fucking revile what they did to our boy peter quill there and the quinn line is like it's a dagger but it has like poison on it and it's like a poison that will kill him slowly for like the rest of his life and the only way to get that pain away is through the bottle that's why i don't blame quill for hitting the bottle so hard yeah he hit it real hard i mean

look he looked after uh his guy thor he saw what he did and he was like i guess that's what you got to do when you get depressed so they get onto the ship very funny scene where they cut a little hole it's like a organic ship it's kind of a living breathing moving thing they cut a hole in it and drax like can't fit through it all the way. It reminded me of Ace Ventura going through the rhinoceros, just trying to get through that little pit. And then they run into Nathan Fillion and his guards. Nathan Fillion, a guy who's used in a lot of James Gunn movies like in the background. He gave him a real role here and a very funny back and forth with the Guardians while they try to make their way through uh incognito

and then star lord of course tries to turn on his charm with the guard gamora not having it gamora just puts a gun to your head and it says you know show us the way uh so this whole about i i had written my notes as olga olga core what's it called is it i had it. Where is it? Olga Corps. Orgosphere. Orgosphere, okay. But that just might be the ship, and the company's called Orgo Corps. It's just fucking gross, man. It's some wild shit.

The Guardians always pulls out some wild – I guess Marvel, MCU, space shit in general has some wild stuff. The thing, Gavin, like being a living creature. I also like the way they talked about the guards of it. I'm oh these guys are the biggest badasses in the universe and then i go inside and they're kind of like like jv guardians in my opinion right they're kind of like a jv suits are weird like their suits look like they're kind of aliens but they're not they're like big hot dogs i like i don't know how to describe them that's the perfect i think you said it perfectly describe them that's the perfect i think you said it perfectly uh the among us suits which i think everyone was saying about the guardians even in like the trailers it felt like uh a toy grab i feel like that the mcdonald's toys for the

guardians they're all going to be in their different color suits and it's just an easy way to do it uh the blue button scene i'm going to put in i think top three favorite parts of this movie when he's talking to gamora and then the buttons making no sense which is a very guardians thing it's like no blue means everyone green means orange red means blue and it just makes no fucking sense and they're just acting like that's how it's supposed to go i thought that was that was some some top tier guardian stuff for me right there and then like you said star lord trying to turn on the charm and gamora just straight up fucking shutting that down and they're just having their issues where star lord doesn't

see her for her she's just like fuck this nerd and she's kind of found i kind of love it she's found her family with the ravagers so it's like that gamora found what she was looking for it's just with the ravers ravagers instead of the guardians she even has like the rattier look to her hair i feel like the ravagers don't shower and they all have the same kind of hair right definitely yeah and i love star lord constantly apologizing for like violently robbing and killing all of these people he's like i'm sorry we normally don't do this we want to come in we want to be uh you just save our friend get out of here and the more we're getting more and more upset every time he apologizes like would you stop apologizing and then the one scene where they're like kill that guy that looks like cabbage and he's like

he just looks like a like a carrot or whatever yep that was that was a great line absolutely great line they turn on all of the anti-gravity gravity suits right after they almost killed drax i thought we were maybe about to get the the death of drax early on in the movie and then they visit counter earth in search of feel the scientist who peter quill bumped into he's a bald guy he's kind of the high evolutionary seems like his right hand man and he's got a little implant little lobot in the side of his head and they like, I think that is where the password is. I think he probably hid the password there. So we got to go to counter earth to check it out.

Gamora is not in favor of this plan. She's like, this is a trap. And they have a big back and forth the whole movie about whether or not it's a trap or a face off. He's like, if I know it's a trap, it's not a trap. It's a face off. I'm going there. And we see the scene we saw in the trailer where they do the ball bounce tracks pushes in the face we see more flashbacks of rocket being a genius high evolutionary doing some insane experiments

on animals sending them through thousands of years worth of evolution in an instant and things are going wrong because they're violent but like rocket knows how to fix it and everything they do a turtle as well i thought they did a good job of showing us like a human turtle that didn't look like a ninja turtle because when they put in there i was like oh this is gonna look like a ninja turtle isn't it and it didn't that's actually good call i didn't think about that and making them just so violent and evil you're like of course they're gonna be violent but our boy rocket just figures it out and with that little voice oh oh just a little you need a little pcp it's so goddamn awesome uh yeah it i didn't know if we were ever going to figure out how rocket got so if it was the brain that he had or some sort of stuff they had done along the way and i'm fine just being like nope

he just as a creature he just fucking hit it out of the park whatever it was yeah and i loved like expanding on that scene where he's drunk and he's you know you're laughing at me and we're not laughing at you rocket we're we're with you like when is it guardians two or one one it's one yeah i love like this movie is that scene expanded in the same way that Rogue One is. How did that Death Star have a little hole in it? I really thought that was cool. And I said to you right after the movie, before the movie, if you would have said to me, who's your favorite Guardian? I probably would have said Rocket, but I would have thought about it for a while.

This solidified Rocket is my favorite Guardian. This was like, oh, my God, solidified Rocket is one of my favorite Marvel characters. Yeah, I think I'm with you on that uh star lord i think it's usually star lord and rocket are the people that you're going between even when they're battling for captain you're like i kind of hope star lord wins this like battle when they're like flying each other right and they're talking about it's like if my thing had a hand i could fly this ship you know better than anybody he's talking about his dick uh and the thing is like i guess group i guess baby group but at such a small time he's just so fucking adorable but

but i think rocket i think rocket will leave this movie being the most if you would be like who's your favorite guardian as soon as you leave the theater or in like three years because i don't think they're gonna be around much and nothing will change. I think, I think rocket will be the number one guy. Yeah. I hope Bradley Cooper's like down to stick around too. I haven't really heard any comments from him on whether or not he stay and leave. And he seems like he's like,

if there's a paycheck, I'll show up. Yeah. It's a fuck. I sent you the video of him where he, he does the voices and it's incredibly gets much more animated than I thought he would. And it kind of,

it, when him and I mean, Vin Diesel has the ultimate boondoggle going on right now, he says, I have grewed a bunch of times into a mic, but he's earning the paycheck. I saw he was showing up to some photo shoots and stuff like that. So I think I'm with you. And then with Star Lord,

you also have to add in like punching Thanos and, you know, causing a blip of half the universe that does go against him unfortunately we have to put that on his resume for better or worse that's a big uh black mark on there so I think we'd have to go rock it which by the way we talked about in the theater James Gunn came out and said he would have been against Star-Lord hitting Thanos because that was out of character. You know, he shoots ego, but the stakes aren't the entire universe.

In fact, it's kind of like helping the universe because he's not going to take over the universe as his little ego balls are expanding and stuff like that. I kind of liked that part. I didn't like my boy Star-Lord kind of being like the losing pitcher of Endgame. It's like when you look at the box score, he had the L next to his name. It's like you can blame Thor. Like Thor gave up the run in the bottom of the ninth, but they weren't winning the game at that point. They were already losing.

Star-Lord was the one. It was like a 3-3 game, and then Thanos took the lead at 4-3, and then from there it just kind of snowballed. I like that scene too, and I was never into the people that are saying Star-Lord is the true villain of Infinity War and blaming it. Because I'm like, for me, that is within his character. That is something he would do. And every time I watch Infinity War and I'm watching that scene and I see how close the glove is to coming off Thanos at the last second he grabs it, every time it gets me.

So I do think that's a good scene. I respect James Gunn's opinion. Obviously, he created this version of the character and everything, but I'm very glad that they left it in. And also the fact that James Gunn said that Gamora was originally going to die in two. And I think it's partially because the actors didn't want to play Gamora anymore, but I'm like, damn, like, first of all,

the whole starboard, the way they end up at the end of two, I thought was fucking beautiful. And then obviously I think the reason they couldn't kill it listen that's our soul stone chick she's the one getting tossed off like that's how we're getting the soul stone we didn't get out of warlock in time so we're gonna get the um soul stone from her so i yeah there was a few uh few things with jimmy i i disagree with here so again now i'm like is james gunn just like getting carried to being this hero by decisions he wanted to make but couldn't make? So I'm starting to get worried about James Gunn.

No, he's going to be fine. He's going to crush DC. In a good way, crush DC. Yeah. Adam Warlock kills a Ravager and intercepts Gamora's call and realizes they're all going to counter Earth. So they start getting intercepted. Drax and Mantis have a conversation with Peter about analogies. And it's really Drax having a conversation through mantis mantis tells him what to say and they

basically tell him you got to focus on yourself for a bit you've been jumping lily pad to lily pad but right now maybe just focus on peter and we start getting teases of his past life on earth where they talk about his grandpa mantis is like is your grandpa like still alive and he's like no you'd be like 90 she's like so maybe he's still alive and you turned to me and you were like we're seeing that fucking grandpa aren't we i was like i think we're seeing that grandpa dude am i the only one that thought that was an uncle the whole time i don't know if he says grandpa in one but that dude is a young ass grandpa and i'm sure meredith prig she strikes me as someone that probably had a young child you know i feel like she's young in when you see the flashbacks with her and kurt russell but i was i was a guest when i found out that grandpa he's

fucking i mean he looked pretty good in the post-credit scene too he didn't use in his 90s yeah exactly so let's see if he is starboard leaves in like 89 is it that he gets taken away i mean it's the 80s year but yeah 80s whatever so say 30 years later if he's okay so but if he's like i guess he could be in his 40s yeah we're thinking about this too much yeah but he's a handsome devil that's the bottom line the grandpa is a handsome devil yeah they land on counter earth as I said a bat family takes

them in these like bat human people everyone's looking in their window they point them to the ship they're like that's where you want to go Peter draws a little picture of this guy feel they're like that's where you want to go so Quill, Groot and Nebula head out to the ship although Nebula is not allowed on the ship because she's got tech parts already weaponry and then drax mantis and gamora are told to stay and protect rocket

drax does not listen to the plan he makes mantis get on a bike with him and just drives away so then they go meet the high evolutionary the first big face-off of the movie on his ship. And as they're in this meeting, the high evolutionary is telling them, you know, all about the experiments. Peter's like, enough with your fucking monologues. I don't need to hear one more monologue in my life. And the ship takes off. And as the ship is taken off, it's destroying the world underneath it. And he's telling them, you know, this was a failed process, whatever. Then fucking like man bear pig

goes for rocket voiced by judy greer and she goes for rocket she gets him but then adam warlock comes in he wants the credit so even though they're working for the same team he's fucking calling for the fly ball in the outfield when she clearly has it and then it's just a full-on action scene from here like the next i want to say half an hour of the movie is like tons of action in your face you get quill and group going full john wick he's like now group group's got all these guns hidden in him when group picks up like eight guns with eight arms i was going wild in the theater i thought that was so cool then gamora overpowers adam warlock launches the bowie she starts driving this thing

it is the worst piloting of all time i turned to you i was like that is us flying the millennium falcon at disney world right there we were so bad at it we we banged that ship up quill and group jump off the fucking ship as it's exploding high evolutionary it's like great fucking plan jump onto an exploding planet group grows wings he's got fucking wings and then this is i i didn't think they were gonna kill him maybe like foolishly they were like you're you're the only one that's gonna die here the way they kill this scientist is brutal i mean they just literally jump off the ship and then drive him into the ground till he's dead then they essentially slice out his brain so it's like all right james gunn fucking hey this is metal shit right here oh certified metal by bob

fox certified and don't worry we'll get to a scene later which i will declare the most metal scene in the history of the mcu what shit as i'm thinking about it there is a scene i don't it might be a dc movie where a flying hero or could be guardians movie the flying hero like takes the guy and is basically just like dragging him like this guy gets killed yeah but i can't remember which one it is does superman do that to ben affleck's batman at some point i don't know maybe uh the when starler jumps off i'm like oh he's, um, throw on the mask and use the fucking rocket boosters. He didn't have them the entire movie. I just realized that. I didn't realize

until you just said he didn't use the fucking mask. That's weird. He didn't use the mask. And then people said, uh, I think they say an infinity war breaks or something like that, but it's like, no, in end game, he comes out and he fucking throws the mask the mask is there and i have not seen the mask get you know removed taken off and it's not like he's just yanked out of nowhere on his own like they're like all right we have to go save rocket and i guarantee i guarantee it's wallet phone keys mask that's star lord's check before he leaves the house every single time so that was one thing because especially when he goes out in space i'm like oh just gonna put the mask on we're good i'm like it might be a little remembering that you have a fucking mask there buddy so i thought that was uh so that that threw me off

groot growing wings i'm like this fucking guy we haven't we've been using our groots all wrong this entire time right i guess the old group probably didn't like he only had so many tricks he could like get those little light flowers, right? And obviously he makes the big ball to save them. But Counter-Earth altogether, it was funny. Like, it was almost like a comedic relief planet as much as it was anything else, right? Like, the Statue of Liberty that they have, obviously. A lot of the stuff with...

I do wish that bouncy ball scene wasn't in that. I think it would have been better in the theater if no one was coming. And the F-bomb, the first F-bomb in the MCU, it landed. And that was with me knowing it was coming. You know, it landed. That might have been the hardest laugh in our theater. Yeah, for sure. If you don't I mean, if some I know some people watch this without seeing the movie the first f-bomb comes from nebula trying to figure out how to get into like an 80s style car with

like one of the push buttons where you have to push in and then unfold it and he's like push the button you're pushing the keyhole push the fucking button he doesn't say fucking yet he's like push the button you're pushing the keyhole she finally pushed the button she goes all right now what do i do just open the fucking door and everyone died yeah really really good that that worked so well there man it was good and be like kind of this silly stuff where drax is like i'm just gonna drive you right to the ship that's like in walking distance and then he just keeps going and it's that was and i didn't want to say this obviously before we started the spoiler part of it but this is the last time we're gonna see the crew together you know so it's like just all those

things we may have a few of them come back but it's not gonna crew together you know so it's like just all those things we may have a few of them come back but it's not gonna be all of them so it's like that's why i try to cherish all these little moments that we had there and dude so made a great point they're like high evolutionary like if he wasn't gonna like just straight up kill counter-earth it seemed like he was pretty much like locked in there until this all kind of went to shit peter quill has so far been responsible for half of the universe being fucking wiped off the map and he just killed a planet basically by himself he is reckless he's a reckless motherfucker i love the guy but god they kind of make me feel for that

planet too like as much as it's a comedic relief everyone looks kind of silly like i was like damn they are just a normal family in there they got their like sears photos of the whole family and everything all the sears photos and just all this shit from earth and it was like i don't know maybe like 20 years like they're they're like 20 years behind us right behind the cars and everything which makes sense because you have to kind of evolve it all uh and then but it's like no all those people that like you kind of like oh they're so cute even the husband was like i don't want to give him my car they're dead they're so cute. Even the husband was like, I don't want to give them our car. They're dead. They're fucking murdered. They're lit on fire. The whole planet is dead, man. I thought for sure the

Guardians would figure out a way to save them, and that would be a big, like, look, we saved the animals. No, they're, I mean, some of the animals survived by the end, but most of them are dead, by the way. And then I think about, like, all the chickens and cows and other animals that are killed on a daily basis for my consumption.

I know. And I'm just like, God damn it. I can't watch this movie. I'm going to tell the kids to go by themselves because I fucking I like food. I like fucking burgers. I like chicken. I like all this shit. I know it's crazy.

No one else is crazy. How God damn good C4 energy is. Preach, Bobby. Preach. I've got the C4 here every week I've got. I've got my multiple flavors. I've got the fridge stocked with them every week.

escape and this flashback oh my god it was so fucking sad they start to escape when rocket realizes high evolutionary tells him, oh, you were never meant to come to the new world. Like, you're a fucking failed experiment. We're going to cut your brain out and look at you for parts. Goes back, breaks everyone out. I love the way he started putting that little key together too with all the spare parts that he was hiding.

And then the High Evolutionary fucking kills his girlfriend, Clem. Kills Lila right after they get their names, right? Lila floor teeths. We fall in love with all these guys. He shoots her in the back, shoots the other two in the cages. And then we see,

why does he have that weird face? That weird stretched face? Because rocket went wild. Absolutely clawed that face up, went crazy, grabs a gun, starts shooting people, takes off in a ship

and this is essentially i mean the whole movie was the rocket origin story but this is the one that this is the moment that made rocket the man who he is today hard to watch they should have played crazy on you when he just tore the fucking face apart that would have been maybe the better time to use that song as he kept doing it i'm like oh i and you know what it would have probably it definitely would have spooked kids out a bit i would have loved to hear some screams like that dude is just in absolute hell because raccoon claws cannot be fun and like and he's just fueled by just pure rage at that point that would have been an interesting mix and damn dude i didn't even see it coming it's the worst part about it i'm like damn how maybe lila has just been somewhere this whole time because i know she is like a legit

character in the comic books so like oh we're gonna meet lila at some point i should have known when she's talking about the blue sky and the sky going on forever that's basically i could have just put the bullet in her head right there because like that's monologuing right it's like it's my last day on the force i retire tomorrow i got my boat i got my wife i got my retirement house i'm you know on the water and it's like nope your ass is grass and i mean the whole it's the the fucking sid's toy freak show crew right it was that's that's exactly what i thought of too nope it's devastating man but i mean i i would have loved i would have loved like a short

like a animated shorts with teeths and yeah we still could get them i guess like some fun it but like we know the ending is the most tragic sad thing in the world like going into this movie if i was laying a wager on the barcel sports book i would have said that rocket raccoon was going to die i thought that this movie was going to be you know maybe get a couple guardians die halfway through the movie i would have said no this is too sad there's no way they could kill rocket after all of this he's going to go off and be with lila at the end of the movie and that will be his happy ending and then they fucking shoot her in the back and i I was just like, oh, my God, how do we do this? And then. I'm sorry.

Continue. No, I said to you, I said, I don't think they can kill. After like the seventh, like heartwarming or heartbreaking part, I was like, they can't just kill them by the end of this now, can they? Well, I think how could it get sadder? And then the next scene is the one that got me more than any scene in the entire movie. It made me ball. And I don't know if this is chronologically the next scene scene but it's the next one that i'm going to talk about they go to the guardians med bay they've got what they need but rocket fucking flatlines

and when he flatlines he goes to purgatory you want to call it like the space before heaven and he sees his friends and when lila gives him that hug and she tells him this was your story all along. Oh, my God. The tears were streaming, Clem. I was like, holy fuck. And she tells him it's not your time yet. Like, we will be together one day, but not yet. She pushes him back and he wakes up.

And it was such an emotional moment. The theater was clapping for it when he woke up. But it was a smattering of applause first. And people didn't know what to do like everyone is so i think choked up but then he's alive and he's like where's nebula that's our code over there what's going on over there and he's just back to the rocket that we love and know and then for the rest of the movie he he's just like he's not traumatized by he in a way he is but he's just determined to finish this mission, kill the high evolutionary.

And they basically go on a wrecking spree from there on. Yeah. The rocket coma scene or the rocket, like heaven or at the gates of heaven, whatever you want to call it. It reminded me of a spoiler alert. I know that it's a very sensitive thing to be spoiled like 20 years later, but the Sopranos, when Tony's in the coma and it's,

you can, he could hear, I think, uh, Steve Buscemi's character, his cousin, Tony. And it's like the house is mom is in there.

Like all these people who have passed and you kind of like see shadows of them. And he's like, come on, come in the house kind of a thing. And that's exactly what I felt with rocket there. And I hated, I hated 90% of that coma shit on the sopranos that drove

me bonkers i fucking love the sopranos i hated the coma season or whatever the fuck it was so uh but i enjoyed that rocket rocket thing and like you said like people were clapping that he was back but they were just as much clapping that he didn't die they're like oh my god thank god it's a relief you heard like people go oh thank god what an absolute uh and not to get ahead of ourselves here in terms of the like blow by blow what an absolute curveball james gunn threw it over me like this is gonna like he's like right it was an emotional movie it did fuck you up but we somehow didn't get anyone killed which honestly happy endings yeah it like yeah they got happy but like on some like it completed the character

and it's like but they didn't make it like super cheesy or corny where everyone's just happy everything's perfect star lord and gamora getting married and they're all in the wedding parties it's like no like it's fucking a little realistic side of it as you can be in a space world that's you know all this crazy shit so i appreciated that I feel like they were able to land the ship, but not make it like super corny and as realistic as you can, I guess. I agree. I thought the endings were super like realistic in terms of where the characters would go, what they were feeling in that moment.

Drax, Nebula and Mantis discover cages full of children imprisoned. And I heard you just go, oh, fuck. You're like, oh man oh god i was how could this guy get worse i'm just thinking like i'm just thinking god damn it i'm gonna be going this with my kids i have to already deal with the fucking cute little animals getting burped right in front of their eyes i got the high evolutionary looking at ghost springing a little bit and then the kids were like the intro to it all. It's like, motherfucker. It's the Thor love and thunder, right?

When they're all just in cages, except this is like, this was scarier. Yeah. Like that was even a little cheesy with the eyes and you know, whatever. This was like, you're, you're actually a child in prison now. And they get unleashed into this pit with the abelisks. I believe that's how you say it's the's the monster from the beginning of Guardians 2. Yes. That we saw that they attack.

But there's like three or four of them. And Mantis is able to calm them down like Baby Yoda calms down their rancor in Book of Boba Fett. As soon as she did that, I was like, oh, she's doing a Baby Yoda. Sick. She calms it down. And then we see Kraglin and Cosmo arrive on nowhere. Something that foolishly slipped my mind i didn't think of where's craglin where's cosmo what's nowhere up to right now they fly that fucking thing in

they start firing at the high evolutionary ship they start making things explode cosmo connects to the ship telekinetically helps free the kids starts holding things in place rocket goes and discovers the cutest baby raccoons in the history of cinema oh my the cage full of them and sees what does it say raccoon he is a raccoon come on rocket you were a raccoon all along and the high evolutionary confronts him in this moment they also have this awesome i think right before this skipped over it they have an amazing hallway fight scene where the guardians are finally reunited groot is sending his arms through fucking mouths spiking them through bodies rockets back on groot's shoulder firing guns

the crowd like almost wanted to cheer when rocket got back on groot's shoulder i felt like it was just so like the boys are back in town i did a fist pump when he did that i was like there it is like yes i i legitimately fist bump the one take fight scene was awesome was that uh no sleep till brooken was playing during that yeah yeah that was one of the best scenes in the movie yeah so like that was one of the music scenes that i felt did hit um also nowhere being used as a weapon and the fucking eye cannon or whatever then like that i can and i don't know it could fuck up something so bad it just like destroyed this ship it looked like the pirate telescope yes exactly good call um and yeah that entire the rack so rocket finally seeing he's a raccoon after being called a squirrel and a badger so it's like yes rat squirrel badger raccoon raboon um did they call him a dog at some point i think yes

can i pet your dog like that's yeah the mantis um there's just like we need a list of every single thing that he's been called along the way in terms of it i also loved that little um like subtle the first person he acts about when he wakes up is nebula and it's like they bonded when they weren't blipped away and i liked that as well that the first he looks around he's like where's nebula yeah yeah they were friends when nobody else was even around and nebula shows i think the most emotion outside of maybe quill when he comes back because they did have that end game five years together where all the other guardians were gone and that was one thing i think i had mentioned to you either on i don't know if i mentioned the podcast or i texted it i was hoping we would have a blip conversation because i think this would be the best crew to talk about the blip especially

considering you did have two of the people around for it and were played key roles in endgame and then the rest were gone i don't know what the fucking gamora was she was she came through time and the fact of more didn't get snapped away in the second blip right it's fucking it's a whole lot of shit so i would have liked that personally maybe that'll be a deleted uh scene or something like that so the high evolutionary attacks and the guardians come in for the save and this is straight up like every single guardian hits their finisher on him in succession it was you know boom boom boom boom this is like when someone awesome comes in the royal rumble and everyone's like we're all

attacking him at the same time there's a classic elimination chamber i believe it was no way out 2009 where john cena was eliminated first and it was like he got hit with chris jericho's finisher ray mysterio's finisher edges finisher then they pinned them that is what this scene was i loved it i saw the little silicone coming off and i was going rip that fucking face off rip that fucking face off gamora and i kind of wanted rocket to get the kill but i was okay with gamora ripping that face off because she is kind of the coldest the meanest like the most savage of the crew and this is the scene the visual more likely thatest, like the most savage of the crew. And this is the scene, the visual, more likely, that I'm declaring the most metal thing I've ever seen in the MCU.

The sight of the high evolutionary's face ripped off was terrifying. Talk about taking your kids to see this movie this weekend. Oh my God, Glenn, you might have to cover their eyes for this. So this is the part that I am the most concerned about i mean the cute little character is getting killed but it's kind of like you don't see they don't really see blood and yeah you don't see them actually get shot and they're like recoiling and bleeding out right the face that's something you could see in a nightmare you close your eyes and you see the face i mean i probably had nightmares when gus spring fucking you know happens again like 10 year old spoiler there harvey dent with it in in

dark night all that kind of stuff this is something where i'm like do i cover the eyes do i try to like say something to kind of break it because i'm telling you right now it's much different it's a much sillier moment the large marge and peewee's big adventure scared the fucking piss out of me and that is one 100th of what we saw on the screen there and it could have made it even gnarlier right i feel like he probably got a little bit of work done but he can only do so much when a raccoon claws your fucking his mouth is cut up obviously the eyeball if i could give you advice don't tell your kids before they see the movie. That is scary because that is what my brother did before the dark night came out. We were on our way to the midnight showing of the dark night.

My brother turned to me and said, just so you know, I was 10 years old. He's like, I've heard this movie is very scary. And I was like, what the fuck triggered an anxiety attack. And I wanted to go home.

So I went and saw it the next morning instead. Pussy moved by 10 year old Bob, but you know what? That's 10 years. have you met your brother before i mean i know now as a grown-ass man i would know not to say that actually i'm not going to say grown-ass man i'm going to say as a yeah a man in training at mit you're at mit right oh god bob i have to i gotta tell you this i told so quick time out from the pod, just quick story. Before we, before the movie started,

you said they they're like, you know, any kids come on up, we have some giveaways and they had all the kids come up. They did their Groot impressions and they got toys. So I said to my wife, I called them and I was like, Oh yeah,

it was really cute before they had all the kids come up the game stuff. And she goes, did Robbie go up? I knew that's where that story was going and i said oh that's good i gotta tell him that i gotta tell him man i should have for the video imagine it was just me and those like eight-year-old kids i was at the end of the line i am group everyone's up to your knees and then they're just like and bob tall sneaky tall motherfucker you're totally like six one six no just six just six okay but yeah you're low-key a tall guy so yeah i look small

next to people from barstool it's fucked up like in high school people were always like robbie you're pretty tall and then i got hired at barstool and everyone's six three yeah it's crazy man i mean kfc is like the one guy who i would never thought he was so tall and i'm like he's like he's a sneaky he's got the fleishman poof too that is a lot of poofs we have a lot of poofs in this a lot of poofs all right so time in but i just had to share time in because it made me laugh when she said it back to guardians during all of the high evolutionary versus guardian scene we're also getting his army versus um the nowhere entire army i guess planet civilization and craglin finally figures out

the arrow he was trying to figure it out earlier on in the movie he couldn't uh cosmo was kind of like one-upping him with her telekinetic telekinetic abilities but craglin in a in a kind of use the force luke way here's michael roker's voice and then sees him and this is something that you and me were like we got to get michael roker right he's james gunn's good luck charm he uses in him in every movie this was the perfect use of him it was a two second scene use the force he figures out the arrow starts shooting it all over the place cosmos whole breaks at the end though and quill doesn't make it is this the fucking third movie in a row where quill gets frozen in space can these fucking guys before they leave to do

their little mission their little adventure everyone's like all right we have one of those little suits right so if one of us gets lost in space we're fucked we almost lost gamora to this we almost lost quill to this we lost yondu to this after the yondu thing it's like all right you gotta have your fucking uh space condom everyone has to have their space condom on before they get on the ship that's the the thing. It's like a cup check. It's like, all right, let me see you, like, let me see it at least in your like in your pocket or whatever. I don't know if

you could inflate it and then deflate it. I feel like it's like a one use only thing, right? Yeah. So, yeah. Come on. And again, as Quill's out there and I'm like, oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. And then the ice is coming. I'm like, the ice is a bad sign. We usually don't come back from the oh fuck and then the ice is coming i'm like the ice is is a bad sign we usually don't come back from the ice and then the fucking like puffy swollen swollen

polka dot man's face without the color yeah you know without all the weird polka dots but like he started getting all bubbly and like i started for a second they fucking got me for a second i was like are they about to kill star like is p is Peter Quill the Guardian that's going to die? And we're going to look at the Guardian story as this was Peter Quill's story? Like, they got me. But Warlock comes in with a little boop. That's all he had to do, just a little boop. Again, that's why I think they had to nerf him,

because the guy does have that kind of, like, cachet and power that he can do stuff like that. But, man, I was going to say, I was like, I had the dread, and I'm like, my heart started to race. guy does have that kind of like cache and power that he can do stuff like that but man i was gonna say i was i was like i had the dread and i'm like my heart started to race i get that feeling in my stomach oh my god they're gonna kill quill like i can't believe like what a misdirection we're okay we forgot to do our predictions podcast or i like a prediction section of the last podcast but i was like i thought rocket rocket was dead i thought drax was dead and i thought there was a chance we could lose like a craglin, I thought along the way.

And I'm like, they're gonna keep all of them, but we lose Quill and, you know, Chris Pratt may want to go do fancy Chris Pratt big actor things now, but even with that. And then, in the midst of all that, I go, hey asshole, use your fucking mask that you have

that you can just like, I don't even know. I think his, what does mask protect him? I don't even know. I think his. What does mask protect him? I don't think so. Because Yondu has to like throw the suit on him. Anyway. I'm just like you have rocket boosters in your feet. And the mask on.

Use that shit. So I was going crazy. And I still don't have an explanation for that. But again. I'm a Star Wars fan. I was told. The Emperor just came back out of fucking. You know.

I should probably spoil it. Also. We know that Princess Leia could also survive out there in space as well. i didn't i had to yeah i had to people are going to see this podcast goes four hours long and two and a half is just me ranting and raving about how much i hate that fucking scene in that movie they're like what happened they stopped talking about the guardians in an hour and six minutes into the podcast they just started talking about the last jedi we do get our final scene after this though it's kind of a longer final scene but it's really nice this is the way they write everyone off so the guardians meet up on nowhere and they decide pretty much mutually to disband quill names rocket as captain they all give him the salute that was a really nice moment

like you could see how much it meant to rocket when they did that. And Quill was like, man, I think Mantis is right. I think I got to go learn to swim. I got to stop jumping lily pad to lily pad. And Mantis is like, you know what? My whole life I've been doing what ego wanted. And then I did what you guys wanted and I love you guys, but I think it's time to find out what I want to do. So she goes off, she leaves with the monsters.

Drax is like, I'll come with you. She's like, nope, that's not what I said. So so he goes and with nebula decides to raise the kids on nowhere because his true purpose was being a father drax making it through this he was minus 10 000 to die in this movie the fact that he made it through salute to him and it was a beautiful way to write him off like we know that he lost his wife and daughter due to thanos he had a great relationship with the imprisoned kids right away doing the monkey noises and doing the like pooping people on the head and everything oh it's great so funny that was a very very funny scene and um uh groot obviously will be will be sticking around with uh with our boy rocket yeah i like that

groot and rock like groot and rocket are a package deal like when they're going around like you know you're gonna i'm gonna do this you're gonna do gruden rock like gruden rocket our package deal like when they're going around like you know you're gonna i'm gonna do this you're gonna do that i'm like gruden rocket are basically a package deal at this point even when you're playing video games you're group with rocket on the shoulder right yeah that's just that's just how it is like you said the action figures come with that and when they had that quick little moment um it was oh and gamora i forgot to mention is going off with her real family the ravagers this gamora that is her family that is her and i appreciate like how they're welcoming her back they're all fired up they're so happy to see her hugging yeah you could see like this everyone's

getting a happy ending and man the song they chose to end this movie was fucking pristine it was so good that you get the moment where we get an ipod with a wheel and seeing rocket i got chills talking about seeing rocket scroll down to the 2000s for the first time yeah put on florence and the machine the dog days are over great song great song but for this scene it was even better like i never liked that song as much as i do now because of the way it just encapsulated everything. The dog days for the guardians are over. They all get happy endings and they all go off to do what they got to do.

Yep. Yep. I'll tell you to the the line about is it Nebula who says you were or is it Mantis? He says you were meant not to be Drax the Destroyer, but Drax the dad. That one hit the dad that one hit that one hit the dad bone for me and it may not surprise you robbie me and drax we're basically i'm learning the same kind of dad or big guy i am the guy who goes to the house he goes what and then the kids just laugh and i have to do it for like 10 minutes straight do funny noises funny faces because i'm

just a big like lovable idiot so one, that one hit really fucking hard. And when they're all together and the group says, I love you. So some people love, a lot of people loved it. Some people didn't love it, but I've also heard a lot of people say that this is us understanding. We've now like theora was able to understand him

at the end of the movie we are now like basically family with him and we can now hear what he says so that i like that a twist that i i don't know if it's like that james might be like fucking idiots fucking like fucking no the whole point was he finally says something after all that time but i i actually like it either way i liked it in the moment it made the whole theater go oh like everyone got a little excited when he said that i also like the headcanon of we're understanding group we're finally family with him after all this time either way i'm taking that moment and i love it yep the i have to say this uh our guardians great, great, great heroes, great heroes. Great. They've grown into great people. They stink at dancing.

They're not good dancers. No, no, no. And I'll say this right now. I'm not a bad dancer. I'm not going to say like, everyone's a good basketball player in their mind. Right. And then we've seen a bar stool. They go out on the court.

There's a video and they're like, everyone fucking sucks. Who is this dog here? I'm, I'm, I'm not a bad dancer. Especially if I have a few pops in me these guys i was like and granted i wouldn't expect nebula nebula like having a smile is a big win her dancing yeah group i'm group was a great dancer as a baby i feel like he's lost a little bit along the way he was he had the fucking rhythm going with mr blue sky right i feel like he's lost he's a little funky i i know what it's like. Similar body type there.

But same with Rocky too. He's been through some shit. So that was, like you said, the dog days. That is a song. I hear that. I'm going right back to nowhere every single time I hear it. Absolutely. And then we get two mid-credits.

We get a mid-credits and post-credits. The mid-credits scene, we see what looks like the new guardians of the galaxy. It's not, I guess, explicitly stated, Hey, this is the new team, but it consists of rocket,

a fully grown group who is massive. This guy's like a fucking Hulk group, Cosmo, the dog, Kraglin, Adam Warlock. And then there's a little child. One of the children,

apparently her name is Phyla. And in the comics, she's the like genetic one of the children. Apparently her name is Phyla. And in the comics, she's the genetic daughter of Captain Marvel. It seems they're taking a different origin story for her here, but she does have superpowers, energy beams, and also Blurp, that dog that Adam

Warlock really loves. I liked Blurp. I was a fan of Blurp. Blurp, I mean Blurp, if he plays his cards right, I'm saying Rockets, like Baby Rocket was like the cutest, second cutest MCU character behind Baby Groot. I mean, Blurp, if he plays his cards right, I'm saying Rockets, like Baby Rocket was like the cutest, second cutest MCU character behind Baby Groot. I mean, Blurp is probably like top five just right off the bat. There's not a lot of extra cute things. Okay, Morgan Stark, cute.

Yeah. Trying to think what else is really cute. Oh, you know what's kind of cute for me? It's that little fucking pillow from Shang-Chi. Yes, yep. Remember that guy? pillow from shang chi yes yep that guy that's definitely on the list as well so i'm happy blurps around uh there's also what is it the inhumans they have like a dog or something i thought i didn't know if he was him but i don't think he is him blurp is so at some point we see in one of the guardians movies we see like a fight

happening on the table i think it's in that scene where Rockets like, why are you laughing at me or whatever? James Gunn has said Blurp is just a furry version of one of the monsters on that table. Oh, shit. Okay. Okay. So apparently we've seen his species before, but it's like a different like I had a long haired chihuahua growing up. Didn't look like a chihuahua. You know, you wouldn't say that.

Was this the scene where come and get your love plays too? Does he turn that on in this scene? Oh, yeah he's like i got it he's like i got a good song for this boom and hits it and it's like i love her they're like i'll take this one i'll take this one and like no let's just go kick these guys ass together and this five lavelle so that's the young kid with the blonde hair apparently like legit badass i don't know if she's like adam warlock level or whatever uh but it sounds like she's gonna we're not gonna we'll be hearing more from her in the future especially with all the crazy uh secret war shit coming up and i gotta be honest this new team i dig it i've

obviously fallen in love with the guardians that we know and love over the last 10 years but i didn't know anything about them before this i knew that rocket raccoon was in marvel versus capcom games and i was like there's a tree too that's fucking crazy i didn't even see the first guardians on opening day i went opening weekend but i think i waited till like sunday because i was like uh you know who cares about the guardians and then i think i went back the next monday because i was like holy fuck that is my new favorite thing and then we get a post-credit scene where quill does go back to earth walks down with a backpack i think he looks like a sad hulk at the end of that lufarigno series and then he just walks in

knocks on the door i think his his grandfather has like a caretaker or something and he's like is this the right house jason quill and they go and reunite that hug too is like that got the emotions going like him hugging his grandfather after so many years away still got pictures of him on the wall like the fact that he recognized him and was like oh my god and then they're sitting there eating cereal and the grandfather's reading a newspaper and it says alien abduction kevin bacon shares all that was such a good nod and at first i was like oh like are they thinking kevin bacon's a crackpot i And I'm like, oh, no, this is a post-Infinity War world where everyone knows aliens are real at this point because a big purple one just fucked up the entire universe. So I'm happy that Kevin Bacon, they're actually listening to him.

And it's like front page of, I guess, a legitimate news source. So I love that. The Magic Spoon serial didn't see Magic Spoon. Magic Spoon, yeah. I guess they've taken their podcast money and decided to go towards like super duper mega blockbuster so i guess that's why we haven't had magic spoon ads in a while they've been saving up yeah uh check off grandpa again we knew it was coming down the road um i was that was a curveball too where they're like the woman answers are like that doesn't look like a quill they're like oh why does it be a caretaker can't be a wife can't be a wife bob what's the problem she was so much younger oh oh can't can't

date older younger people what are we i'm like 40 years between them uh but yeah that that's that's the note they end on a very very like family heartfelt feel-good moment yeah and it's uh you know uh what do they call him the incredible star lord will return yeah something like that will but he's the only one that got the will return tag we thought that was weird too because we were like didn't they just set up a fucking new team looks like they're gonna return too yep and what's star lord gonna return in i can't imagine just like Star-Lord the movie. So it's Chris Pratt, right? So it's like he is the guy who I can see being like, I want my solo movie, yada, yada, yada.

But it's just the way that they, I don't know. I don't really know if he could do a, like I wouldn't want a solo. He'll be in Secret Wars, right? But like if you were going to do a um like i wouldn't want to solo he'll be in secret wars right but like if you were gonna do a peter quill movie why not just like have him like continue to lead the guardians or something i don't know and it's the legendary star lord i had to make sure i get that right which i do believe is a comic series um and i did see like two were saying who was someone said

it's the white background with the black text instead of the other way around. So it could be like a different star Lord, right? It's kind of a flip, which maybe anyone in the secret wars is going to be white screen with the black font. And that's just going to be how it would be wild. Yeah. I don't,

I don't know, but I'm happy he's coming back. I feel. And the thing is, if they want to do guardians again, they can do guardians again. They have, we know the team,

the team might add or remove a person based on whatever. And I also think shadow james gunn for being like hey guys i didn't kill any of y'all so you all are eligible for avengers paychecks in fucking a couple years and you guys can all get motherfucking paid for like a few days of work i know that's the other thing i'm thinking like we heard from so many people dave batista more than anyone like james gunn is my guy i'll never do a movie without him again this is the end of drax you'll never see drax again or you're telling me you're not going to pick up the phone for a secret wars discussion if they want you in the movie for 30 seconds you'd like you're not even picking up the phone for that come on he's i think he's trying to angle himself to become thing he's just gonna just go from one guy to the other and i would be

fine with it too i'd be like fuck it I could hear him say it's clobbering time. I could hear that in David T's voice, but it's like we should probably look for another. I still am hoping that they go Chris Evans, Human Torch just for the hilariousness of it all. And no one says like, dude, you look exactly like Captain America. I'm still hoping they go Hank Schrader for the thing so you could

say I'm not made of rocks and made of minerals. God damn it, Murray. Now let's do the legendary fast food reviews they will return on my mom's basement every movie review um you texted me right beforehand and you were like don't forget fast food review and i said oh thank god i would have forgot but really i didn't need to notice because one came to mind for me in about two seconds and i was like oh yeah that's what guardians three is. What is it Bob?

It's the Popeye's chicken sandwich. And I hope that I haven't used that before for another movie. I might've in the past, but for me, my rationale behind it is this was a long time coming. You think Popeye's, how have we not got a chicken sandwich from them? What in the world? New chicken sandwich from Popeye's. It better hit.

If you're Popeye's, you're telling me you are the king of chicken, fried chicken, your fried chicken sandwich better be amazing. Better blow away the past few chicken sandwiches that I've had. I got to be honest. It did that for me. At this point, I'm still going back and forth between what's the best Popeye's or Chick-fil-A, but the Popeye's chicken sandwich was something that I looked forward to for a while. And it really lived up to the hype. So that is guardians of the galaxy volume three for me. That's fair. That's fair. And again, I, I might've said Popeye's or something too. We've reached a point where it's like,

unless I go back and listen to every single podcast we did, I'm going to definitely forget which one I did. I know I didn't say this for anything else and it definitely plays. back and listen to every single podcast we did i'm gonna definitely forget which one i did i know i didn't say this for anything else and it definitely plays so my fast food review for the guardians three is the strawberry mcdonald's milkshake oh so hear me out here bob we have three i think kind of base level milkshakes at McDonald's. You have your chocolate, your vanilla, and your strawberry. We have three Guardians movies of those three, right?

The chocolate, I think, is kind of the default one. I could be wrong. I personally like vanilla more. But I feel like a chocolate shake is what most people go with. True. If I had to go to McDonald's and I pull out the sales numbers, I think chocolate would sell the most. And I think a lot of people like Guardians one the most. That's fine. I'm personally a vanilla guy. I always chocolate would sell the most. And I think a lot of people like Guardians win the most. That's fine.

I'm personally a vanilla guy. I always go vanilla shakes. I'm a Guardians 2 guy. I think Guardians 2 is a vanilla milkshake. Unfortunately, my mom's basement wasn't around, so I can kind of just throw those and make that my fast food reviews, you know, post-production. This strawberry fits in with the rest,

all completely different in their own ways. Like I said, Guardians 1 is like this kind of a – it's a heist. strawberry fits in with the rest all completely different in their own ways like i said guardians one is like this kind of a it's a heist it's like a prison break where they're getting out of prison has a lot of action in it two i feel like it's a little lighter it has the family stuff in it all and i personally love two more three this one's darker still fucking good and the if you're getting a milkshake and someone's like we only have chocolate we only have vanilla you only have strawberry you ain't complaining we mcu needed this fucking strawberry milkshake at the end of the day everyone's happy and i'm pretty sure i said

the christmas special the holiday special was the shamrock shake because it only comes around once a year and it's fucking good when you want it. So fucking the Guardians is McDonald's milkshakes. I always am down for McDonald's milkshake, just like I'm always down for the Guardians. Clem, you just tied up your fast food reviews with the Guardians as well as James Gunn tied up the franchise. That was beautiful.

The shamrock shake in the end there, that was amazing. Overall, this movie for me, I tweeted. It truly is my favorite Marvel movie since Endgame. And that says a lot for me. I know some people in the comments that doesn't say a lot. What does that say? Low bar to pass.

I really fucking loved No Way Home. I really fucking loved Far From Home. I really loved Black Panther, Wakanda Forever. I really loved Doctor Strange and the multiverse of madness this was just it felt like a guardians movie in the way that i really needed it to and the the villain helped so much the high evolutionary probably my favorite villain since danos as well like a villain that like you said in wrestling a lot it's it's fun to root for the heel the cool heel the nwo how could you not root for the nwo but then every now and then someone comes along and they are so good at being a heel that you

really fucking hate them and they're doing their job more right than anyone else that's the high evolutionary here he was amazing they called that heat in the wrestling game i believe this motherfucker got heat through every way possible the fact that his own henchman turned on him let's you know how shitty he is because like thanos's people were ready to die for him they didn't give a fuck same with uh i'm actually not going to talk about the other big bad but all these guys thrown into every every single person's um like crew always had his crews back no one really committed committed mutiny like during the movie and they were right too they were like dude we have to fucking like pull the ejector button he just kept being like oh we're good we're good and then he obviously

nuked himself uh his best line in the movie was in that scene too i thought when someone was like like what would god say something about god And he just screams in their face. Like there is no God. That is why I exist. I was like, Oh my God, I'm afraid of this guy. I'm ready to get up out of the theater and run away.

And like, we, again, when you never see a body, you're always thinking there's a chance he can come back. And like the character was done well enough by like the awesome actor that if he comes back, I feel bad. His name is so hard to

pronounce i don't want to butcher it you know what i mean like yep and i know i think we talked about it in like the preview uh i think jose talked about it like the mr sinister ties like i'm not gonna complain again there's i could go on an x-men conversation about like like magneto juggernaut like all these guys we know about, but it's the Apocalypse, who I am not going to acknowledge the movie he was in already. The Mr. Sinisters, those guys, those guys are the ones I'm going to fall in love with.

But this villain, I liked him in like the way that you like respect. I respect how awful and shitty he was as a human for this movie, because he got the heat and that's all you can ask for. And now do you feel how do you feel about james gunn taking over the dc after this movie man i i like really really good like i feel like it's a loss for marvel and in a in a way where it's like you're gonna have to have a director step up in a way where right now no disrespect to any of the Marvel writers, directors,

but nobody has their own unique voice as much as James Gunn did. And that really, really helped. Like even in these times where people were kind of down on a lot of Marvel movies, I've seen so much positive feedback just in the last 24 hours for this movie from everyone on Twitter. So I feel like him having his own lane and you,

you need another director with that ambition and you need to let them run free and let them be creative with that because this is like a big loss for them. Yeah. It's a massive loss and that entire thing over the tweet and just, you know, snowballed and everything. And the fact that it ends with him at DC,

maybe it was going to happen no matter what, but it feels like a massive loss. And I was seeing the same thing. They need to find like, it's, you can't say the next James Gunn, but they need to find the next guy. That's going to make like,

whether it's pre-made characters, whoever's going to be in charge of fantastic for when it's all said and done X-Men or like this guy made me care about a fucking comic book crew. I had never heard of in my entire life. And I mean, i compared him to mcdonald's fucking milkshake that's i was gonna say at this point like at this point you would compare him to like your family it's like such a family thing for you like this james gunn has like created like childhoods for like so many kids out there it's crazy what he's done with just

the guardians team when you look at the other movies that have come out over the last 10 years for Marvel, not all of them hit this hard. People were also asking us to debate this. What is the best Marvel trilogy at this point? There's a bunch. Captain America, Spider-Man, and Guardians, I would say, are probably the three that people would point to as the best.

Avengers, you can't really call it a trilogy, right? It's not a trilogy anymore. Even if you counted the first three, though, Age of Ultron is better than we give it credit for. But yeah, it is cheating. It's cheating, especially when the Guardians are in one of those trilogies, right? That makes it feel kind of cheating. I mean, if you go Avengers 1, Avengers 2, and you just say, like, in your your brain imagine an average Avengers movie without but it's like the ensemble cast is the last two it's bigger than the Avengers at that point so I think

you have to go cap you have to go Spidey which are two pops two guys and then really good yeah I don't I I couldn't I don't know if I could name a best trilogy in that like for me it's guardians 100% for me but you know me i would say guardians yeah my gut would say guardians i think for me and it sucks to say as a cap guy i think it might be more between guardians and spider-man for me i love captain america one but out of all of them it might be the i don't want to call it the weakest but i go back to captain america one less than i go back to guardians one or two.

I think guardians three is probably a better made film as well. And then Spider-Man, like I was, I might still be the highest one on no way home. I see so many people turning it on a Twitter, like the lights camera barstool boys, I think are kind of like regretting praising no way home. They're like,

it has aged kind of poorly pandemic film. I still love it i still go back to it i'm like i think this was so so so good in the end i think guardians is the best most cohesive trilogy wrap-up where like every movie felt like it at least was like keeping the same tone keeping the same everything like spider-man i would say homecoming and no way home are better than far from home i like far from home a lot but it's just not in that like blow away level so i would probably give it to guardians as well okay yeah that's fair and again i think as a trilogy it holds up as individuals they hold up they are so different and they kind

of just they make you feel all these different things so i can't wait to go see it again i want to go back because especially because this week has been fucking chaos with i'm trying to move into dagobah over here moving into a flooded apartment arguing with landlords and stuff so like i want to go see it and really like make sure everything cements itself into my brain i guess all right so next week we're gonna do the podcast after the second viewing we're gonna do another reaction we got an hour and a half on this. And we're going to do another hour and a half on this second viewing, which I'm telling you, I guarantee it gets better when you kind of pick up on the little things.

The music vibes are going to grow as you know, it's coming a little more. I mean, I'll admit there are some scenes where I was laughing so hard. I didn't hear dialogue. Yeah. I would like to go hear that dialogue. That's it.

Yeah. Hashtag. I think I have a hashtag hashtag open the fucking door we just kind of just go with that yeah yeah open the fucking door fuck it you want to get nuts let's get nuts and hey that's probably the next movie we recap right is the flash the next like yeah and yeah according to a production designer which i don't know what that means a production designer uh so good, you'll forget Ezra Miller became like a real life supervillain

for like two years. That is how fucking good you know it is, man. That is as high praise as I've ever heard in my life. Like, I'm thinking like Heath Ledger, before he played the Joker and after he played the Joker, obviously he passed me, but like he became the Joker to me in my mind.

And now Ezra Miller is going to become the flash instead of real life Thanos. God bless you. So I'm excited for that. Anything other than Ezra Miller, I'll be surprised, but I am looking forward to it. I thought this was a great,

great movie. I hope that everyone liked it as much as we did. Make sure you let us know in the comments below your fast food review your feedback on the movie your favorite part if there's something that we missed if there's a funny joke in the movie that we forgot to bring up because like we said it's just been one viewing and everything leave that in the comments too hey you guys forgot to mention this i thought that was great we want to hear it all and come back next week for another i don't know random pod we don't know what we're going to do yet next week. That's the mystery of my mom's basement, a mystery pod.

We have it in the chamber. We have a Boogie Nights watch slash rewatch at some point. So I'm saving that. I think that's going to be a summer thing. I feel like we'll find stuff to fill the time, but that is in the chamber at least for some point here. And my uncle, Uncle Fun, also hit me up about that and said, Burt Reynolds has a tiny part in Boogie Nights. I didn't realize that.

We were just talking about Burt Reynolds, and I've never seen a Burt Reynolds movie. Oh, buddy. It ain't no tiny part either. Oh, it ain't? He's like a star in it. He's a legit star. Oh, okay. Maybe he didn't say that. I probably missed that. Maybe he just said he's like, he's in it. He probably said he's got a part in it as well, and I read it

like that. He has a little part in it, and it's like he's got a part in it. I read it like that. There's a little part in it. And it's like, great fucking movie. All right. Well, I'm looking forward to that. Tune in next week for a mystery pod and make sure you like the video if you haven't already.

And if you're subscribed on the podcast feed, thank you. If you're not, make sure you do that. We'll talk to you next week.
