Episode 44: The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

In this episode Cody takes Dave and Brett through a recap of the new, festive Disney+ offering The Guardians of the Galaxy Special! Before they get into that, though, they discuss the format of the new "Special Presentation" style of MCU offerings. The potential for future offerings under the Special Presentation banner are considered. Then they go through very brief recaps of their thoughts on Werewolf by Night, the first movie to have the new label on Disney+. Then the guys hit the main topic, which is a recap of how much they enjoyed The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. What did Mantis and Drax do in their first starring roles? Was Kevin Bacon great or really great? How did it deliver as a holiday movie? And what are some ways the show furthers the actual story of the Guardians of the Galaxy? The hosts read a review from Joe and then each chime in with their own ratings for the special. Finally, Cody shares eight directions the MCU is moving into, with different "branches" led by different groups of heroes. It's becoming a pretty crowded place, and there are far more heroes on the horizon. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Kang has the hosts all hot and bothered as they put Phase 4 to an end with this special and look forward to Phase 5! All this and more in the latest and greatest Friends Occasionally Not Disagreeing!
