1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Great the flick with Ben o'ha on ninety six a FM.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: All right, that was that was kind of a fine mysteration.

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: That was a spectacular running. That was spectacular.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: It was exciting as exciting as Guardians of the Galaxy

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: Volume three. Really to talk about this, Yes, so this

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: movie comes six years after volume two and the very

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: first Guardians of the Galaxy movie in twenty fourteen was

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: a huge hit, directed by James Gunn. It was a

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: bunch of characters no one had ever really heard of

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: unless you're a massac nerd, and so it arrived with

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: pretty low expectations. People weren't sure what to make these characters,

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: and the cast as well. They weren't exactly household names,

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: like you Robert Downey Jr. As Iron Man or Chris

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: Evans as Captain America. You had Chris Pratt, who'd come

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: from Parks and Recreation, yes, and had you know, dropped

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: a lot of vanity pounds and was all a sudden lot.

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: Zoe Saldana who was making a nice name for herself

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: but not a household name. And then you had, you know,

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: Dave Batista, former w W wrestler. For you had Vin

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: Diesel and Bradley Cooper, who of course a huge stars,

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: but one was the voice of a raccoon and the

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: other was the voice of a tree that just said

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: I am groot. So there was a lot of reasons

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: to think the film wasn't going to be successful, but

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: it was. It made a billion dollars, more than a

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: billion dollars, and it was hilarious and it kind of

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: changed the direction of the Marvel cinematic universe. Before that,

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: it was a bit more serious. Guardians of the Galaxy

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: showed that comic book movies could also be a lot

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: of fun. Volume two came out a couple of years later,

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: made even more money, and so you'd think no Brainer

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: commissioned a third one by James gunn Kill. Everyone was happy,

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: but then Disney fired him. So because he was getting

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: in a fight with Donald Trump very publicly, and a

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: conservative commentator in the US kind of dug up some

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: tweets that the director had posted ten years earlier that

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: were a bit off color. Disney fired him, and so

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: that was basically the end of his involvement for the

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: time being. He went, he jumped ship, went to Marvel's

40
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: arch rival DC Studios and directed the reboot of The

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: Suicide Squad, which was a huge, huge hit, was so

42
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: successful that Warner Brothers, the parent company, hired him to

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: be the CEO of DC Studios. Disney was forced embarrassingly

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: to rehire him to do it. It's a huge drama

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: in itself because the cast basically said, well, we're not

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: going to make Volume three unless you hired James Gunn,

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: and so that's what they did. And so then he

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: has made this movie with all of those circumstances in

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: the background, and it's kind of it's interesting because he's

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: kind of said, well, you guys at Marvel like to

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: make family friendly movies. You know, it's all very PG,

52
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: no real blood, and he's gone bug of that. He's

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: dropped the first F bomb in rimty to Marvel movies.

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, for yeah, for a studio that's

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: famous for kind of like films that you could take

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: a six year old along to, this will give them nightmares.

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three legit nightmare fuel in

58
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: some of these scenes. It's some of the like it's

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: like there was a Russian horror film night Watch a

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: few years ago. They had the creepiest creatures in it.

61
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: This film rivals.

62
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: That did he have carte blanche to just yeah, he's

63
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: had an impact on New York can tell, but.

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: It's actually also amazing. So normally these characters and Marvel movies,

65
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: it's about saving the universe, right in this case, it's

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: really about telling the backstory of just one of the characters.

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: So it narrows the focus down to just Rocket, the

68
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: raccoon who's voiced by Bradley Cooper, which is an interesting idea,

69
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: but actually in doing so, the director has made this

70
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: really emotional story which might sound weird because it's a

71
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: cgi raccoon, but it works. It just works, and you

72
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: get all our favorite characters coming back, Chris prat Zoe Saldana,

73
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: Dave Batista, Pom Clementief, the French actress who plays Mantis,

74
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: and they all get their own screen times, their stories

75
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: are all fleshed out a little bit more, their characters evolve,

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: and it all comes to it, Yeah, and it all

77
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: comes to a conclusion that at the end, I'm telling

78
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: you people will cry. People cry, and that's that's not

79
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: giving anything away, but I'm just telling you it's it's

80
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: it's it's a very it's a very deep movie. It's

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: a hilarious movie, a little bit scary at times.

82
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: He's really stretched there.

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: And the franchise is famous for its epic needle drops

84
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: like songs that are played during the movie. The soundtracks

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: are phenomenal. This one's no different.

86
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Absolute Cracker sounds good. I'm there for anyone that gives

87
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: a giant you know what to do.

88
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: I think that.

89
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: Difficult company and they've got history. Wow, that iscre.

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: So how many Guardians of the Galaxy are you giving it?

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: Four and a half? Four and a half? This is

92
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: this is about like you want to give it four

93
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: and three quarters.

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: Four and three because this is about as good as

95
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: a superhero movie gets.

96
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: That's very cool.

97
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: Before you go, it is a believe that and f

98
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: Bomb's never been dropped any of those movies. That is

99
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: incre because they really protect their like PG status for

100
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,440
