Episode #322: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Well the time has come. We all knew this day would be here but I think we were all just in denial. For Episode 322 we chat about James Gunn’s last Marvel Cinematic Universe film, as of now, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 starring Chris Pratt, Chukwudi Iwuji, Bradley Cooper, and Karen Gillian. Not MCU topics today include golf, DCEU, and the Phoenix Suns.

Let’s not beat around the bush, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is an incredible film. It wraps up some of the most loved films of the MCU to date in a nice tight bow. James Gunn you will be missed sir but we will be looking forward to the work you create at DC. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the complete package. Great acting, fun story, great pacing, lots of humor, honestly there isn’t much missing from this film. Seriously, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the best MCU film since Spider-Man No Way Home and that’s a bold statement.

Mike, Matt and Ma agree you must see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in the theater. It is a great kickoff to the summer blockbuster season. This film is made to be seen on the biggest baddest screen available. Mike and Ma without hesitation give Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 a perfect score of 5 out of 5 Reels and Cookies. Matt on the other hand thinks not everyone can see this film, especially people who are sensitive to animal harm. He awards the film a near perfect score of 4.5 out of 5 Reels.

Next week there isn’t much hitting the theaters thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 so Mike, Matt, and Ma hit the streaming services to check out Ghosted starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. Don’t forget to check out Ma Hinshaw Loses Her Cookies Episode #12 at the end of this incredible podcast. Thank you for listening and we will chat with you next week!
