This, good people, is a summer tentpole we can get excited about. Director James Gunn has delivered a funny and frolicking space opera in Guardians of the Galaxy with a terrific cast, immersive effects, and a script that is, as we're apt to say, way smarter than it needed to be. Join Mike Evans, Tommy Metz III, Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Chadd Stoops, and Pete Wright as we break down the film. We walk through James Gunn’s performance as director and co-writer with Nicole Perlman, Ben Davis’ cinematography, gorgeous production and art design, and, of course, performances from Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel that make our cinematic introduction to this offbeat comic property so enjoyable. Listen in and share your thoughts!
