#108 - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 | Directed by James Gunn (with Connor Kujawinski)

Tune in as Arthur’s filmmaker friend Connor Kujawinski returns to the program for a breakdown of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the 32nd movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the long-awaited finale to the GOTG saga. Talking points for this particularly lengthy episode include the subtle character arcs, comparing a confusing moment from the movie to Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the one-take hallway fight scene, how the High Evolutionary holds up as an MCU villain, and all the emotional devastation (obviously). Written and directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Chukwudi Iwuji, Sean Gunn, Will Poulter, Maria Bakalova, Elizabeth Debicki, Sylvester Stallone, Linda Cardellini, Asim Chaudhry, Mikaela Hoover, Nico Santos, Miriam Shor, Stephen Blackehart, Nathan Fillion, Judy Greer, Daniela Melchior, Dee Bradley Baker, Michael Rosenbaum, and Tara Strong.
