The ZM Podcast Network. Fleshborn and Hayley, celeb in a pod. Thanks to McCafe. Great things are brewing, one cup at a time. With Chris Pratt and James Gunn, Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is out. And I've seen it, and I love it. And thank you very much for what has been a wonderful trilogy, gentlemen. Oh, thanks. We had a great time putting this together.

And it's been a bittersweet journey, because this is the last of the Guardians films. Wonderful trilogy, gentlemen. Oh, thanks. We had a great time putting this together. For sure. And it's been a bittersweet journey because this is the last of the Guardians films. But we're enjoying every minute of it and really being present every minute of it. So movie one sort of covers Peter Quill's loss of his mother. Movie two, loss of the father figure. Movie three, you bring animals into the mix. And the cinema that we watched it in, I looked at it around at one stage and everybody was proper crying so I was like okay I can have a couple of little tears here. Dude the

CGI animals had everybody in an absolute mess. Yeah I mean yeah listen I you know I cry while I write these things so it's not always that surprising that people cry while you know they're seeing them I will admit that's taken me a little aback

by how much people have been crying watching the movie. Every screening we've had and the visual effects of it, because we start screening these things very early without many visual effects, and people were crying back then, and I'm like, okay, well, this is good. There's a cry here, a cry there. But as the visual effects have come in more and more,

people are crying more and more during the movie. I go, oh, I didn't know that was going to happen. But it's cool to see. I think any time a movie elicits strong emotions like that out of an audience is cool. Chris, what did you think when you saw it? Because you didn't write it. You kind of weren't in some of the scenes.

When you first saw it, did it wreck you? I've never cried, not even once. Oh, man. You should try it. It's really fun. It's very therapeutic. What I do is I bottle it up, I push it way down, I cork it off, I forget about it.

Oh, you should move to New Zealand. We're really good at that. Yeah, males famously be doing it for generations. We know Taika. We know Taika. Yeah, we know how it works. Nah, Taika's a pussy compared to the rest of us. The rest of us are just like.

Fathers and sons, it's a handshake. Warrior mentality, we get it. Absolutely. No, I was moved. I was very moved by that. In the script, but also in the film, I gave myself this gift this time around, which is I didn't watch anything until the premiere

just a few days ago. Oh, fun. The early assemblies, when we were doing ADR, I'd keep my eyes closed mostly. I wanted to see as little as possible so I could be swept up in the journey. Get your eyes closed during the ADR? How did you know what your lips were doing?

The sound. But sometimes you were putting something different in your lip. We did want to bring up that the ADR was pretty rubbish. It was pretty bad. It was pretty wonky. Why do you think it took nine days to do the four lines? It looked like old Japanese sort of dubbed monster films. So I was swept up on the journey and I was very much moved.

I was moved and there were some tears all up and down my row. And I'm not going to say exactly who, but my father-in-law was in the audience. And I think there's a possibility that you made Big Honey cry. I went by the bathroom, and Terminator was sobbing like a pig.

Oh, my God. That was James that said that. That was Chris's voice. If I recall correctly The quote was My father-in-law Sobbed I said

An ugly cry No what I said I don't know But somebody in our room Cried You know this is the one line Out of this entire interview

That the headlines Are just going to grab I know I know You know listen After doing this for long enough You get used to that You say something

And you go Oh well that's the thing Everybody's going to pick up on. Let's just say this. Arnold, first of all, a hero. Secondly, I think it was just one little manly tear that was coming down. It was the same, like, you know, when he finally became,

like, when Terminator 2 finally, T-2000. Yeah. When the thumb was going down into the thing, what we couldn't see is below the lava, he was also crying. The lava mixed with the tears. L the tears lava tears now this is the point we've kind of been told we're almost out of time look at all these questions but we've had fun and that's the main thing i want to know have you guys taken anything from set as you said james is like the final guardians you're moving i don't know what you're doing there's a few things under like uh

upcoming projects on imdb but we're not here for that um what what did you guys take anything from set as a memorial you know you know in the in the movie when they go into the vampire bat family's home and there's all the there's all those paintings on the wall and all these there's all these little sculptures of like little weird monster things or human animals we call those guys animals. I took everything out of that house. Oh, wow. I have every single thing out of that house. And then now is my Aspen house. So my Aspen house actually looks like the vampire.

I'm sure your wife loves that. Yeah, I was like... I'm not even allowed to hang posters on the wall in my house. I gotta imagine if I turned home, I'd be like, okay, I bought some stuff home from set. Vaughn's wife's got a scandy aesthetic

and it just wouldn't go. Very scandy aesthetic. A little cockroach selling methamphetamines to this little octopus. It's beautiful, James. Thank you. Thanks. And what about you, Chris?

Did you take anything from your time on the Guardians? Yeah, I always take a bunch of stuff. At this point, I'm just back the U-Haul up and just say, hey, take everything. Load her up. Yeah, it'd be more expensive for them to fire me at this point. So I just get it. I just take it all.

John's wallet. I've got, I, the only thing I don't have that James has promised me earlier in an interview was, is the, is the helmet. I don't have the helmet,

but he promised he would give me one. God helmet. You don't have a solid helmet. No. Can you believe it? I have the gloves. Cause that-Lord helmet. You don't have a Star-Lord helmet. No, can you believe it? I have the gloves because the helmet is props, and I always have props back at the end of the day. Wardrobe I wear back to my trailer and oftentimes take that right home.

So I got all the gloves, shirts. I have the necklace that I was wearing. I have the bracelet that my character was wearing. Well, you guys are a couple of thieves. Hey, we're giving the hard word to wrap it up, guys. So thank you so much for chatting with us. Thanks for waking us up. We appreciate it.

Didn't even get to talk about the soundtrack, but that again is so well done. Thank you so much. Beautiful movie. Loved it so much. Cheers for your time, guys. Bye, guys. See you guys.
