The long-awaited and heavily anticipated "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" has finally arrived in theaters, and boy do we have a ton to talk about. We already discussed a couple episodes ago about how Guardians came to be in the MCU, but first we spend some time with a slightly different recap (1:27) talking about how James Gunn almost wasn't the director of this movie, as well as the current state of the MCU. It's also been a weird trend in the box office (18:27) for the MCU so we discuss what potential for this film looks like. We then go into our spoiler-free thoughts (28:18) followed by our usual spoiler-filled character-by-character breakdown (45:30), plus a wrap-up conversation about where this movie ranks for us within the MCU.
