Episode 173 - Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) - a podcast by Movie Podcast

We've got us a therapy session on this one. Maybe rather than voice our disagreements, we should've just settled it with a dance-off. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia (Meg's still in the queue at Wendy's) as we're heading to Xandar and Knowhere in search of Marvel's biggest gamble in Guardians of the Galaxy. We're looking for floating space recliners in our 173rd episode as we discuss:


  • How the UK version of Wendy's measures up to Ian's memories of North American Wendy's?  Georgia brought dinner and we're taste testing it

  • Ian and Ethan share some memories of their own childhood trauma and how they can relate to a young Peter Quill

  • Ian asks a lot of questions about the silliness of this film's ending

  • One of the actors from last week's episode is back again.  Did you recognise him?

  • We dissect the presentation of Rocket and Groot's relationship

  • We share some good download numbers this week

  • Liam met someone from the BFE back catalogue this week

  • We gotta talk about the soundtrack here

  • Skynet wrote a story about Best Film Ever

  • Whether or not Guardians of the Galaxy is the Best Film Ever
