Alright, take it from the top.
Alright DJ, you need to be as surprised as you were the first time.
Can't, sorry.
Yeah, it was good.
Oh boy.
What is up bros?
I'm Caleb.
I will be running into traffic here very shortly.
So to take over the show.
So Rose is sick right now.
I am like I said going to be running into traffic.
So to take over the show for me is our third official host DJ and the almighty return of the once great
crash more almighty than anything else.
But yes, I returned.
I like almighty.
I actually I like that introduction better than the third co-host.
I prefer the almighty.
That's the almighty crash is got a nice ring to it.
Guys, it's the all bros with crash and DJ Caleb's fired.
He doesn't know how to use his recording devices.
I have been hi.
I'm DJ from the untrained.
I podcast you might know me from such episodes as the last one where I had a recording issue.
You guys don't know about it, but Vic was supposed to be a surprise for me and he was
and you guys missed it.
It was a heartfelt reunion.
We high-fived we hugged we cried we exchanged exchange business cards.
It was amazing.
And listen, you missed it all.
But the point is is Vic is back crash is back.
He's back in better than ever.
The boys are back in town.
Yep.
It's his I you guys might remember me from past episodes.
You know, the really good ones and yeah, every yeah, if you'll recognize his voice from every
fourth episode where we play his promo.
It's me.
Yeah, dude, I only have four freaking promos and two of the shows don't exist anymore.
I'm so sorry because I know I'm one of them.
Well, and listen, and one of them is is headed up by a movie moron.
Possibly.
We won't name any names, but he might have scored Scott Pilgrim so incorrectly that he
should have his podcast license revoked.
Yep.
I informed Vic of your super one sided rivalry here.
Yeah, that dude will never know.
Basically the cheap Vic replacement.
Yeah, that's stupid idiot.
You're the high evolutionary of this except nobody likes you.
You make things worse instead of better.
Unlike the high evolutionary.
Anyway, I didn't see volume three.
I lied.
I'm just going to make my way through this the best I can.
I'm kidding.
Yeah.
So anyway, usually we're a couple of bros, me and Rose and everyone else.
We're a couple of bros on a mission to give you guys the most detailed movie reviews out
there with as little bias as possible.
Welcome to the all bros.
Hello.
Apparently.
All right, this week on the podcast, we do not have anything for through the wall.
We do have a little bit one item in a 4k spotlight that we'll discuss.
Probably not in quite as much detail as Rose usually gives us, but we'll discuss it and
then we'll get into this week's headliner where we will be breaking down Guardians of
the Galaxy volume three.
So without further ado, let's get into it, guys.
Yeah.
Need motivation?
Angry Dad podcast.
Trying to jumpstart your life?
Angry Dad podcast.
You want help getting off the couch?
Angry Dad podcast.
You need a verbal kick in the ass?
Angry Dad podcast.
You want to hear from somebody who's been through it all?
Angry Dad podcast.
I am here for you.
You can find me on all podcast platforms.
Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben.
We love Ben.
He Ben's the Angry Dad.
Hi, Ben.
Howdy.
Yeah.
Hey, did you guys hear Robert De Niro just revealed he just had his seventh baby at 79
years old?
Hilarious.
What is he?
What is he trying to be the Joe Biden of?
I don't know.
I just wanted to make an old Joe Biden joke.
What a hell of an age to have another kid.
Right?
What is it?
Is it having another kid or are you just like making sure that your DNA is out there?
I mean, he's still a little grandbaby.
Because what is he doing?
He's not helping.
He's not changing a diaper.
He's not going to raise that thing.
He's going to be dead before it's five.
I mean, I'd hope not.
Good God.
You're giving him five years?
He's 79 and he's Robert De Niro.
He hasn't been living a life of drinking water and eating celery sticks.
Exactly.
So he is primed.
We are ready for another good mobster film.
Not the Irishman, but a good mobster film where he is one of the big bosses.
What the one that sits on his ass the entire movie and doesn't do a thing?
Absolutely.
I mean, his presence, just everything about him, it demands respect.
I want to see him as a big boss, a big Italian mobster boss.
Is there anyone, is there any actor in this current landscape that you can see filling
any of the roles like that?
Like a Robert De Niro or an Al Pacino or even newer, like who's going to be the next Tom
Cruz or Brad Pitt or you know what I mean?
The newest crop of actors, they're fine to look at, but I don't see them having the same
staying power, I guess.
That just means we're old, DJ.
Yeah.
I think we're at that point where we're not sure we can see those people.
Listen, I'm with you, okay?
I am totally with you.
I accept it.
I am.
Listen, guys, you want to know how old I really am?
I just turned 40.
Four zero.
That's the second time I've said it out loud.
It's so strange.
I don't feel as bad.
Yeah, you shouldn't because damn, it's on four decades.
But I just see people like, who is that kid, Timothee Chalamet or whatever?
And I'm like, I can't imagine in 20 years from now, I'm going to be like, God, man,
that Timothee Chalamet really came into his own and he really just acted his face off.
Who thought the guy who played Wonka in Wonka was now...
Dude, I think we're in a weird time because it's hard to compare some of these newer actors
to older ones because I feel like they could fill multiple slots.
I feel like Tom Holland, for example.
I think if he keeps up with the stunt train, I think he could be like a Tom Cruise, but
he could also be in like a Mark Wahlberg area too.
Yeah.
Well, he's definitely more... he's as lovable as Tom Cruise wishes he was.
Absolutely true.
I can see that.
That's the best way to put that, doesn't it?
But I've been watching recently, who's the guy...
Do you guys watch Barry, the TV show or whatever, the thing on HBO Max?
No, but I love Bill Hader though.
Okay.
So I got to tell you, I mean, Bill Hader doesn't quite fit this bill because he would be in
the older actor category.
That is one of the best shows I have seen.
I say this hesitantly because I don't want people to go, it's as good as that show.
No, but it is like on the same level as I would say Breaking Bad in the sense that like
it is funnier, like there is like some comedy to it.
It's way darker, but it is shockingly well acted.
Like Bill Hader is way... he is far and away a better actor than I ever could have imagined.
Like I knew he was a comedic actor, but he is... what he does in that show is incredible.
And I don't know, it makes me sad and gives me hope that we will still have, at least
have things like that from maybe unexpected places like Bill Hader.
Like maybe there is...
Who knows?
Maybe Timothée Chalamet will be the guy.
Maybe Tom Holland will be the guy.
Maybe whoever it is, I don't know who else there is.
Who is another main male actor that is younger right now besides those two?
Exactly.
That's my point.
That's my whole point is like 30 years ago...
Hold on, hold on.
Like Jack Dylan Grazer is pretty good.
He played the Freddie in Shazam.
Name one other thing he did.
It.
He did It.
Like IT Man or...
No, he was in It Chapter 1 and It Chapter 2.
He was in Wrong's Gone Wrong.
He's been a lot of shit dude.
I think, I don't know.
Again, I'm putting everyone on the spot so it doesn't really count.
But I want to say like 30 years ago if you said who are the main male actors right now,
you'd be able to rattle off like a dozen easy.
Or as now you're like, I mean there's the guy that did the thing and it was pretty good
I think.
Yeah.
Speaking of guys that did a thing, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Quantumania is coming out on
4K this week.
Hey listen, Jonathan Majors did a thing.
He was very good.
He's the one who remains.
I am excited for like...
So Vic, or Crash, whatever.
Vic, have you heard any...
Like what's the last episode you listened to, like MCU-wise, of ours?
Or have you...
I have not listened to a podcast in a long time.
Like I said, I think the last episode I listened to was whatever episode you guys did last,
which was...
It was a Mario movie, right?
A Mario movie, yeah.
Yeah, Super Mario Brothers.
I am very excited for this episode then because you have...
We went in and like tried to like crunch down all of the MCU movies into just mine and Rose's
scores.
I see.
So we have your like Far From Home, like yours and DJ's Far From Home score, which is like
what we've stated is lower than our original score.
Bullshit.
Such bull.
I'll never forget when they revealed that.
Good God.
So we have not done phase one or two.
So we personally haven't scored phase one or two.
And I think part of three, whichever one, like Guardians of the Galaxy volume two, I
think that was in phase two.
That would be...
Or was that three?
That would be three.
I think that's three.
No.
Either way.
It's basically from Iron Man to Guardians of the Galaxy volume two, we have not ranked
those movies.
So you're doing like a separate ranking for those, for like just Marvel movies.
Yeah.
So we separated all of those, so it's just mine and Rose's score.
And I'm excited to hear where this ends up ranking, but I think you're going to have
some issues with it.
Yeah, dude.
You said you listened to the Mario Moon, right?
Crash.
Like, did you get through the whole thing?
I know it was a...
I did actually.
No, I did.
Okay.
So may I ask you a question?
Do you think that the Eternals is better than the Batman and Logan?
I do remember this argument.
I'm going to say no.
Of course you say no, because you're a sane human person who sees movies.
Now, that's not why I'm saying that.
This can be an episode all on its own.
It's just us discussing why Eternals is better.
It's not better.
You said it wrong.
Wait, hold on.
Caleb, you're going to tell me that you think though you genuinely feel that the Eternals
movie was better than Logan?
No, like I told DJ, our personal score for these movies is higher than the Eternals.
But we're not talking about the personal score.
We're talking about your program, the All Brothers podcast, so that you are one of the
two All Brothers.
You did this to yourself.
You ate the McDonald's.
I don't know what to tell you.
All right.
I'm pulling up.
You sons.
No.
Listen, you made this bed and you don't want to lie in it.
Just like, oh yeah, while you're looking that up, I can tell you more about your people,
Caleb.
My people?
Yeah.
Let me tell you about your people.
What do you mean, your people?
Hold on.
Bro, you're about to hear.
We're cousins, so I think that also throws me into that bunch.
Hold on.
Listen, if you're one of these people too, Vic, I'm throwing you all away.
I'm snapping you all away because I was in Guardians of the Galaxy volume three.
I paid for my ticket.
I sat down in my seat that I picked myself.
I watched the movie and not once, not twice, but thrice did three separate people that
just were wanting to die, turned on their flashlight on their phone.
My wife, who knows me and loves me and cares about the people around her, as soon as the
light came on, before I even had a chance to turn, her hand was on my arm.
She's like, don't, just don't.
That is a woman who knows her man.
That is all I'm going to say.
She knew it was coming.
I was going to jump over the chair and beat this man to death.
I don't blame you.
I had, for the first time in any of these Marvel films, I had one of Caleb's experiences
where somebody brings in their freaking baby and his kid starts crying the entire time.
At the beginning of the movie, I think, I forget at what point of the movie that they
finally leave.
I was like, Jesus Christ, you got to get that kid out of here.
Why would you bring a kid that young that clearly still needs to use the diapers and
crap?
You say that, Vic, but Caleb is just a hair away from bringing his kid to just scream
in a movie.
This guy.
Absolutely the hell not.
That is blasphemy of the highest order.
He says that, but this is also the guy that's like, I don't mind checking my phone every
once in a while if it's under my shirt.
Okay, my wife checked her phone.
That was not me.
I'm just saying in Donald Trump's New America, I'm going to make sure that he makes people
like you and those three people that need to be shot into space.
All you movie ruiners are being shot into space.
That's what I'm doing to all of you.
Okay.
I am going.
So I pull, we're on a completely separate track here.
Now I am.
All right.
I know exactly why Vic had to leave for a minute.
He heard what you did, Caleb.
And he was like, I can't believe I'm related to that guy.
And he threw his phone.
Wait, no, I didn't even hear.
Hold on.
I didn't even hear.
Okay.
DJ speaking blasphemy is what is happening.
Or I'm speaking what happened and Caleb and his wife are people that like to take out
their cellular devices during movies and go, hmm, little swipey swipe.
Oh, how's the kid doing?
What's going on?
Hey, look, I just wanted to let you know that blob.
Oh yeah, I guess you can't see me.
I'm pretending to talk on my phone.
Basically, Caleb is, as I was saying, in Trump's new America, I will be I will be on the committee
of shooting people that do anything in movies other than watch the movie into space.
And Caleb will be on the first rocket ship out of here.
Oh, man, that is such bullshit.
Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't think you should have your phone on a movie theaters.
That's all I'm saying.
First off, I'm married to someone that did that.
You also did that.
You liar.
You said you did that.
Oh, Vick is here.
Yeah.
You got to mute yourself.
I mean, that's my bad.
All right, we like I said, we are on a completely different tangent.
I have Logan, Eternals and Batman pulled up right now.
All of their individual scores.
So I'm going to freaking quiz, like go through with Vic.
So Vic, between Logan, Eternals and Batman, who has the highest story?
I would give it to Logan.
Exactly.
It is.
What about writing?
I think you would.
I was going to say, I would think that the Batman would probably have better writing
than like, but I mean, I think Logan's right behind it.
I don't think the Eternals is anywhere near that, like their caliber.
All right.
So we gave Logan and Batman.
So the difference between Logan and Batman was one point in the writing category.
OK.
And the Eternals was down like a few points from this.
So it's like a three point difference.
Bro, you're using some Fox News fuzzy numbers right now.
What had better acting?
I would probably give it to Logan and Batman would be second.
All right.
Well, we gave Batman higher, but like barely.
It could go either way.
OK.
What about character development?
Logan.
Yeah, we gave it to Logan.
But what came in right after Logan?
Because if it wasn't for Batman, it was wrong.
OK.
Because any other answer was wrong.
But go ahead.
All right.
What had the better effects?
Logan.
But hold on.
I mean.
And that's where you can go like Eternals might have eeked it out just because.
Well, I wouldn't even say that they're better.
It's just that because of what the Eternals are like, there's more of it.
There's more of it.
Like Batman isn't going to have that much because he doesn't have superpowers or anything
like that.
We take the practical into consideration too.
Then I would probably give it to Batman.
Exactly.
Exactly what we did.
We had to fuck.
OK, so listen.
So Batman.
So Batman like Batman was number one, like got the highest effects score, then Eternals
and then Logan.
But again, like they were close.
I mean, that's a classic.
That's a classic, you know, having DJ on your show or me on your show where it's like quality
and quantity.
Like, yes, there's more of it in the Eternals.
But but do you have the Batman or Logan like quality is what I'm just kidding.
All right.
Music can only make that joke now because you could see me know that I'm joking about
that.
So music.
Batman.
I think the Batman would.
Now, I love this because I love we gave Eternals argument for that.
No, I know.
I heard that you gave it to them more that you gave them a higher score for that.
But I love DJ's argument for it because what can you do with Batman that you can't do with
any of the other ones?
I love that argument.
And that's that was the best and only argument that you need.
So I commend you for that one, DJ.
All right.
We gave Logan and Batman the same music score with an eight and we gave Eternals a nine.
That's wrong, by the way.
Incorrect.
All right.
Hold just for shits and giggles.
It should have been two nine.
Even if I changed even if I changed the OK, hold on.
So what you're saying is you bought the numbers somewhere else.
So if I if I if I changed the music score for Eternals, bumped it down to where Logan,
Eternals and Batman are Batman or the Batman and Eternals would be on the exact same level
again.
Still wrong.
That can't be just something's wrong.
There's I'm telling you, you need a third party to come in here and check these stats
because I just not not certain parties.
All right.
What about costumes?
Costumes, I think we go to that.
What do you mean?
It's a two.
Two of them had like the highest score.
I would give it to.
Well, I think I know who got the highest scores, but who I think it should be would probably
be Batman and then Logan because the dude that the.
Yeah, dude, name one iconic look from Logan.
I was going to say that.
That I wouldn't give it because I wouldn't give it because of an iconic look.
I would give it because.
The shit that they like, I guess you put that in effects, though, like all the gore and
everything that came out of that.
You probably put that with the effects.
Yeah.
OK.
The gore and stuff.
It's just seriously just like outfits.
All right.
Well, then I mean, on a technicality, I guess.
But still, the Batman Batman tied.
OK.
Yeah.
And most of the that went to the frickin penguin.
So I think I if I remember right, I don't think I had the best of feelings about the
bat suit.
I thought it was like cool, but I thought the penguin just kind of pushed everything
over the top.
Well, like I said before, we started recording like the Batman was one of those movies that
for me, like not a lot of movies are like this, but the further I've gotten from that
movie, the more I appreciate it and the more I feel like it's better, it gets better.
Like the more I think about that movie, whereas like you like for the most part, if I have
an opinion about a movie, it stays pretty static.
And I don't know.
I think the Batman only appreciates with time.
Yeah.
Like I think it definitely has that movies definitely have that effect.
So that's that's how it how it fricking happened, though.
That's why Eternals is just a little higher.
It's the the scores are the same.
The margins are redonkulously close.
They're not even a full percentage apart from each other.
So switch them.
How to spite?
No, I respect that.
You guys just pissed me off.
More respect for that than I should.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I am in the loss comes out on four case.
So be sure to look out for that this week.
Where does it come out as it best buys a Walmart?
I don't know.
That's Rose's job.
I already told you I was stalling for Vic to come on.
He didn't have time to look up the important stuff.
I was just sitting there.
I'm just like I'm like messaging Vic being like, hurry the hell up.
That's so funny.
I don't know what's going on.
Here we go.
Where the hell is it?
I lost it.
It's at Best Buy.
So there you go.
You want Ant Man and the Wasp.
Hey, go to Best Buy.
Tell them I want your finest dented dust dented dust dented.
I tried to make a joke and then my mouse stopped working.
Anyway, go best buy most dented steel book you got.
And they'll say that's all of them.
All right.
Well, with that, like I said, that's our only news item to talk about.
So without further ado, let's get into this week's headliner.
Let's do it.
Yes, without further ado.
All righty, before we get into this week's headliner, we did ask and we received some
answers to our question of the week.
And for a first on this one, we actually got some responses from YouTube as well as TikTok
this time.
Hey, yeah.
So for those of you that don't know, we asked a question of the week on our social media
and we asked what has been your favorite song that has come from a Guardians of the Galaxy
movie.
So I'm just going to kind of blow through some of these because these are a lot of them
are like repeats.
But first one is from a Darth Vader on YouTube that said, come and get your love, which is
pretty classic.
Molly Hoffman said Wham Bam Shanga Lang.
Don't know it.
You don't know that one?
Not not off.
Like if you sang two seconds of it, I might know it.
But it's just the Wham Bam Shanga Lang.
All right.
I still don't know.
They play some good Sam Cooke on the second one too.
Yeah, that one's the shit.
Let's see, BLSD Dub said Mr. Blue Sky.
So that was the intro to volume two.
I heard I like after whatever on TikTok, I heard that apparently that was like the top
hardest song to clear.
Like they did not want to let him use that song at all.
And it was like weeks and weeks and weeks of like, please, God, please, I'm telling
you, this is going to be great.
And they're like, no.
All right.
Next we got Astro Boy 117, who says Brandy, you're a fine girl, which I freaking love
that song.
That's one of my karaoke songs to me.
I'm not gonna lie.
That's a great.
It's a great song to just belt out.
Oh, yeah.
Aidan plays said Mr. Blue Sky.
Galactic Evans said in the meantime, which I think that was for the trailer for volume
three.
Yeah.
Was that was there?
What was the other song that was only in the trailer?
I think someone answered that it was a since you've been gone.
Yeah.
Since you've been gone.
I really expected to hear that in the movie.
And I was I'm not gonna lie, a little disappointed that they did not make it in or did not make
it into that.
Dude, I felt like such an idiot on that one because I was like, by Kelly.
And they're like, I think they just did like walking away.
And then we got a response from Noah Wessex, who also said in the meantime.
So that's all the ones from YouTube.
Moving over to tick tock.
I had it pulled up and it just are you still recording?
Let's see.
You just got to ask him that randomly throughout the episode.
You can't give me a frickin like corner or something.
Let's see.
We got Hayden B who says, come and get your love is the best.
Aaron who said red bones, come and get your love is my absolute favorite.
Also said Mr. Blue Sky is peak.
DT Moore said Southern Nights.
I think that's the John Denver one.
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
Sing it.
Trying to remember the scene that it was the one rocket was playing or listening to like
right before he like Bushwhacked all the ravagers.
Nice.
Sorry.
Yeah.
The only one I remember rocket listening to now is creep.
Let's see.
Mustard Man 263638 said Wham Bam Shanga Lang by Silver.
Jacoby said in the meantime.
Bike.
Oh, that's a suggestion.
We do appreciate the people that give us the suggestions, but we try not to read those.
Black Mamba said I want you back Jackson five.
The VVC says he didn't remember the name of the song, but it was the Beastie Boys in the
hallway scene from the Guardians three.
That was Brooklyn, right?
Yeah.
Brooklyn.
The Yoshi said Lakeshore Drive is amazing.
Carson Bryant said Mr. Blue Sky.
Max Hummel said come and get your love.
Joe Dog Days are over.
That was a good scene.
Ian Rayner said the same thing.
Dog Days are over.
El Tubbo said creep.
Luke Bigger, Mr. Blue Sky.
Amazing Gamer.
Come and get your love.
K Ryan Max, gosh we got a lot of freaking responses.
You know what's a good one, but it's not in a Guardians movie, but it's a Guardians scene
is the Rubber Band Man.
That's on Infinity War when they're introduced.
When they're introduced in Infinity War and they're just cruising in.
The name of that song is called the Rubber Band Man.
That's such a great song too.
Yeah.
Let's see, yeah, they say come and get your love or Southern Nights.
Kev said the chain.
That was a freaking killer song.
Ok said since you've been gone and I was like by Kelly.
Wojtyk said father and son.
That's a good one.
And then Gavin L said Rubber Band Man.
Liam's Planet, come and get your love.
Samurai, whatever said Mr. Blue Sky.
And then a couple more suggestions.
So yeah, that's all of our responses.
We'll figure out how to narrow those down.
Hey, I responded.
I said whatever it is.
Now it is dog days are over.
I think one of my favorites is still, it's got to be, I like when they play Sam Cooke
it's Bring It On Back and it's him and Gamora, they're dancing.
It's in the second movie.
That's a good song.
I just like the song.
Sam Cooke's amazing.
I'm a big fan of him.
I have like his whole, most of his albums saved on my Spotify.
I freaking love Sam Cooke.
Every time like on my Discovery Weekly or Discover Weekly, I occasionally get like random
ones that I haven't heard and I'm like, oh, okay.
If you like him, check out Brooke Benton.
You'll like his music too.
But thank you to everyone that answered our question of the week.
We really appreciate all that.
So yeah, anyway, getting into this week's headliner.
Like I said, we will be breaking down Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.
So if you are new to our breakdown system, we have split movies into eight different
categories that we individually score to come to a final All Bros, Crash and Taz, and Untrained
Eye letter grade.
The eight categories that we score are story, writing, acting, character development, effects,
music, costumes, and then we give it our own personal score at the very end.
All of those numbers get magically added up and spit through our algorithm and give us
a letter grade to compare this movies to others of a similar grade, as well as a percentage
that doesn't matter as much as the main score itself.
Unless you ask the Eternals, the Batman and Logan.
They're all a minus movies.
You guys can suck it.
No, then don't give me the percentage, Caleb.
Then don't give me the percentage if you don't want me to think about it.
You know what?
We are ranking our percentage, the percentages serve a purpose and the purpose is to piss
people like you.
Listen to the show.
Listen people right in.
Tell tell Caleb that the Eternals deserves to go down below the Batman and Logan.
If you could change the way Sonic the Hedgehog was going to look, then you could change this
too.
Listen, start a campaign.
Do a GoFundMe.
Whatever it takes.
Hashtag change all bros rating.
I don't know.
Hashtag some bros question mark.
Thought this was the all bros.
Hashtag almighty crashes back.
I mean what?
So Rose helped us out ahead of time.
He already put in his scores and had some comments about some stuff that I'll bring
up here later as we go.
But since Rose is not here to give us our favorite segment reading his opinion, doesn't
matter.
Oh, gotcha.
I'm kidding.
So I will be reading this one.
So if you have not seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, you probably need to stop listening
right now because we will be spoiling the entire frickin movie for you.
So without further ado, here is the plot for Vol. 3.
At their new headquarters on Nowhere, the Guardians of the Galaxy are attacked by Adam
Warlock, a sovereign warrior created by their high priestess Aisha.
After Adam overpowers them and seriously wounds Rocket, he is stabbed by Nebula and forced
to flee.
The Guardians are unable to tend to Rocket's wounds due to a kill switch made by the company
Orgo Corp embedded in him.
They travel to Orgo Corp's headquarters to find the override code.
As Rocket lies unconscious, he recalls his past as a baby raccoon he was experimented
on by the High Evolutionary, a scientist who sought to enhance animal lifeforms and anthropomorphic
species to create a counter-earth.
Rocket befriended the High Evolutionary's other test subjects, the Otter Lila, the Walrus
Teefs, and the Rabbit Floor.
The High Evolutionary was impressed by Rocket's intelligence but furious that it exceeded
his own.
The High Evolutionary perfected the anthropomorphization process with Rocket's advice but ordered
Rocket's brain to be extracted and his friends incinerated.
Rocket freed Lila only for the High Evolutionary to kill her.
Rocket, in rage, mauled the High Evolutionary and shot his guards, but Teefs and Floor were
killed in the chaos.
Alone, Rocket stole a spaceship and fled.
In the present, the alternate version of Gamora, who has joined the Ravagers, helps the Guardians
infiltrate Orgo Corp, which is owned by the High Evolutionary.
They retrieve Rocket's file but discover that the code has been removed.
The group speculates that Thiel, one of the High Evolutionary's advisors, has it, so
they depart for counter-earth.
They are followed by Aisha and Adam, who are ordered by their creator, the High Evolutionary,
to retrieve Rocket for his brain.
Upon arriving, the team is helped by residents in tracing Thiel to the High Evolutionary
ship.
Drax and Mantis remain with Gamora and Rocket as Peter Quill, Groot, and Nebula travel to
the High Evolutionary's ship.
Nebula is forced to wait outside by Quill and Groot board.
Drax and Mantis chase after Quill's group.
The High Evolutionary initiates his destruction and planned recreation of counter-earth, which
kills all life on the planet, including Aisha.
As the ship enters orbit, Quill and Groot leap off with Thiel, retrieving the code from
him.
Gamora arrives with their ship to rescue them, while Nebula, Mantis, and Drax board the High
Evolutionary ship to rescue the now absent Quill and Groot.
As Quill's group attempts to access the code, Rocket flatlines and has a near-death experience,
where he sees Lila, Teef, and Floor.
Lila tells him that his time has not yet come, as Quill uses the code to disable the kill
switch and save Rocket's life.
Nebula, Mantis, and Drax come across hundreds of imprisoned humanoid children on the High
Evolutionary ship before being captured.
Quill's group sets out to rescue the three who are placed in a chamber with monstrous
Abolisks.
Mantis befriends the Abolisks, allowing the group to escape and reunite with Quill's
group, together overpowering the High Evolutionary's army.
Fragglin and Cosmo arrive on Nowhere, and Cosmo creates a telekinetic tunnel connecting
Nowhere to the High Evolutionary ship to free the captured children.
Rocket discovers imprisoned animals on the ship before being attacked by the High Evolutionary,
but the rest of the Guardians help subdue him, leaving him to perish on his ship.
The Guardians rescue the animals and lead them aboard Nowhere.
Quill nearly dies trying to cross over but is saved by Adam, who has had a change of
heart after being saved by Groot.
In the aftermath, Quill leaves the Guardians, bestowing the Captaincy to Rocket before leaving
for Earth to reunite with his grandfather, Jason.
Mantis embarks on a journey of self-discovery with the Abolisks, Gamora reunites with the
Ravagers, and Nebula and Drax remain on Nowhere to raise the rescued children.
In a mid-credits scene, the new Guardians, consisting of Rocket, a fully grown Groot,
Cosmo, Fragglin, Adam, Phyla, one of the rescued children, and Adam's pet Blurp, take on a
new mission.
In a post-credits scene, Quill eats breakfast with Jason.
The legendary Star-Lord will return.
What do you guys think that meant?
Do you think that means that he, Chris Pratt as Star-Lord will return, or that just someone
will take up the mantle of Star-Lord?
I think he's gonna get a solo film.
That would be dope.
They didn't say that the Guardians were gonna return, just said Star-Lord was gonna return.
I could see them giving him a solo.
You know what I would really like to see them portray?
They kind of like the Old Man comics, like an Old Man Star-Lord.
Can they air an Old Man Star-Lord comic?
They have an Old Man Logan, they have an Old Man-
Oh, like what the movie was kind of based on, right?
Yeah.
Frickin' hell.
Sons of bitches.
Yeah, so they have Old Man comics for a wide variety of characters.
They have one for Black Widow, they have one for Hawkeye.
They have one for Star-Lord.
I think Old Man Star-Lord would be a really cool movie to see.
That would be cool.
Especially to see him, maybe how he ages maybe faster than all the other Guardians or whatever
the situation may be there.
I think that would be really interesting.
Since he's an ego progeny, would he age faster, or would he eventually slow down?
Well, my thought was that he was half human, and then the celestial part of him got cut
off because they killed Ego.
Well, there you go.
So I think he's back to just like 100% human.
But anyway, that was the end.
Everything that came before that.
Oh my god.
Guys, listen to me.
People were saying, I was even jokingly being like, ha ha ha ha.
I'm going to cry so much in this movie.
LOL.
I'll shed a tear.
I mean, listen, there have been MCU movies that made me go, ah ha.
But this one, this one, there was stuff happening pretty much the whole movie.
I'm like, hey, enough movie.
I get it.
It's everything sad, and I'm going to miss these people more than I thought.
Why are you still doing this to me?
Oh my gosh, dude.
This had some freaking gut punches.
So many.
Dude, I was pretty good.
There was moments where I was tearing up.
I was holding myself back because I was in public.
Three times minimum.
I cried three times in that movie.
Yeah.
But dude, one of the things that got me so freaking hard was, I think it was either Nebula
or Mantis that said that, or was talking to Drax and said, like, you weren't meant to
be a destroyer.
You were meant to be a father.
Oh my God.
Nebula said that.
Oh my God, dude, that wrecked me.
Like that was, it was still, it was like, it was right there.
It was still an unexpected line.
And I, oh, Jesus Christ, that movie.
Like listen, I know we haven't actually really said anything about the movie yet, but the
MCU made a big oopsie daisy when they decided to like go along with Disney and fire James
Gunn.
Like it is a travesty that that dude is not going to be making any more MCU movies.
I'm glad to see whatever he's going to do it with the DCU, but it is a shame that we
are not going to get any more MCU movies at him.
Dude, no joke.
Like I am, I'm real bummed, but I'm super excited to see what he does with DC.
But I mean, holy shit.
Can he make a movie?
And by the way, I saw, I want to say like a couple of days after the movie came out,
he did an AMA on Twitter and he said, the only stipulation is it's got to be a yes or
no question.
And a couple of people asked and he, I mean, he just said, yes, obviously he didn't elaborate,
but the story that we got from volume one to volume three was pretty much for the most
part his vision from the very beginning.
Like that it was all this third movie was always going to be Rockets movie.
The, basically the main beats that happened were going to happen.
I don't know.
He didn't get a lot of pushback apparently from Kevin Feige and the like for what he
did, which I thought was really cool.
I hope they use this as ammo for future projects where they're like, Hey, if we just leave
them alone, like they'll make good shit.
Well, this is the, this is, I've talked to this.
I've talked about this to death and I feel like I might, I hopefully I said it on this
show the last time I was on is the main problem with MCU movies.
I feel like is it's all about the teas.
Like the whole movie is the teas of like, ah, Ooh, the next one can't wait to see what
happens in the next one.
And nothing is just like a contained story where you just are like, wow, this was an
awesome movie.
I wonder how this is going to fit into the rest of what's going on.
And this was that, like this was that to a tee.
Like this had everything to do with what ha what came before it, but it wasn't like, Ooh,
you're never going to believe what happens when nowhere the skull shows up.
Like, no, no.
Like it was what it was.
It was a beautiful story.
It was a beautiful end to a trilogy.
And yeah, I cannot say enough good things about this.
By the way, I said near the beginning, I was going to put a stipulation on everyone.
This movie is getting very high marks from me, like maybe the highest.
I'm willing to be talked down, but we're starting at the top and I'm going to need to be talked
down.
So I'll read us.
So Rose frickin went above and beyond.
I freaking love him.
So he he had a little write in for the story and he says, this is the most personal Guardian
story we have ever gotten.
It's not a mission to save the galaxy this time.
It's a it's to save a family member.
And I love that so much.
The heartbreaking backstory for Rocket that was explored, have me bawling and as and was
tough to watch at times.
Yeah.
So he ended up giving story in ninety five.
Dude, and I I'm having a hard time disagreeing with him.
Like I love that this wasn't a saving the universe story.
Like it was kind of like it was contained to like the world or to a world like or actually
not really.
Like they didn't save shit other than rocket.
Like I mean, well, they saved they say, yeah, they say they save the animals, they say the
kids and the animals.
And yeah.
But I mean, I mean, a whole planet for you.
What?
Yeah.
Technically, they saved Adam Warlock.
Ish ish.
If there was anything that I had an issue with, it was Adam was Adam Warlock.
Yeah.
So, OK, that I was to this could be a character development thing.
But like, is I don't know this character at all.
Like is he normally like mad stupid?
Because he seemed like he wasn't too dumb.
Like he was definitely like more comic relief than what I thought the trailers made him
seem like he was going to be.
It wasn't unlikeable.
Like, I mean, like I said, I don't know the character or so if it's like, yeah, he was
just kind of a goofy kid.
Did you guys ever see the movie he was in?
We're the Millers.
Yeah, dude, that movie's frickin hilarious.
It's hilarious because of him.
Yeah.
But so OK, it's basically it's a story about this guy who's a drug dealer and he loses
his boss's weed and his boss then tells him, look, you could pay me back by going to Mexico
and bringing over a little bit of weed.
And so he looks like a drug dealer.
So he's like, OK, puts his fake family together.
And the dude that plays out of more like is the son.
And in that entire movie, he is just so like I don't even know how to describe him.
He's just he's an idiot.
And like, I still got those same kind of vibes the way that he was in that movie, in this
one.
And I was like, so he was one of my bigger like, I don't know.
I just I just didn't.
His role didn't really fall so great with me, but I did like that they included him.
Yeah, I did, too.
It's funny because now that you say it, it didn't even dawn on me at the time.
Really until now.
Like, yeah, I don't.
Like there was no point for him at all.
Like how much besides saving Peter?
Like what would really have changed in the movie if he wasn't in it?
Nothing.
Maybe they would have gotten their information on like from the ravager a little bit better
or whoever the hell he vaporized.
Like that is funny.
I didn't like I said, I didn't mind the character like I got.
I mean, well, whatever.
We're talking a story.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like he he didn't affect the story too much.
And like just kind of address and writing real quick.
I don't feel like he was in it enough to sway my score any which way.
Like he was in it was all I'll say is like he what he wasn't a bad part of the movie,
but he was kind of an unnecessary part.
Yeah, yeah.
So I mean, I dug it.
I dug it for what it is.
And I hope we get to see more of him because Adam Warlock as a character is really intriguing.
Like they're able to do a lot with I mean, kind of like.
So the stone in his head is supposed to be the mind stone.
But obviously, the mind stone has been, quote unquote, destroyed.
Soul stone, I think.
Oh, isn't it?
Is it the soul stone?
I thought it was.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the soul soul stone in his head.
Yeah.
Vision has the mind stone or had.
Yeah.
The story was amazing, though.
I agree with what Rose was saying.
I love that.
I love that it wasn't them trying to save the universe or galaxy.
It's like it was so personal.
And you know, the fact that they made it that way, like them having to save one of their
own like made it kept that it really helped keep that kind of theme going where it's this
is a very personal movie because you get into it with a lot of the characters.
I mean, they brought up a lot of stuff, you know, Gamora and Nebula, you know, talking
about how like, you know, how her father plucked out her eyes like as a form of torture, but
like also to like make her better and like, you know, like they got really personal.
Like it wasn't always, you know, flashback stuff.
But you know, like some of the stuff that they would say, you kind of catch it.
And it's like, oh, shit, like, like they're plucking at heart.
They're plucking at the heartstrings on this one.
Like when even when they're arguing amongst each other, you know, dude, I love how they
kind of have that moment where they address what Thanos had done to Nebula.
And then a little bit later, once they get footage of what the high evolutionary did
a rocket.
Yeah, she's just like, that's even worse.
She says worse than what happened to me.
Yeah.
And I'm like coming from Nebula, who's like damn near 90 percent robot.
Well, that was the thing.
There was a couple of things that I'm like they.
So even though it was like, you know, quote unquote self-contained story, like the way
that they alluded to things that happened, that, you know, things that have happened
in the past up until now, like I mean, first of all, just the fact that they were like
they're really like the only family in the MCU.
You know what I mean?
Like they're they're they're the only what is it?
They're the only I keep wanting to say Avengers.
I don't know.
I can't think of the right word, but they really are like the family.
And what is the last thing that happened to them?
Like all of them got snapped away except for Rocket and Nebula.
And like those two, those two were the closest, but they like they wanted their family back.
I don't know.
It's funny because when you guys were talking, I'm like, I have such a good point to make.
And now I feel like it's falling apart right in front of me.
But all I'm saying is, is like it's that it's like the urgency of trying to save Rocket
was it seemed to be like added to by the fact that like they basically just got back.
You know what I mean?
Like they had their their five years away.
That only seemed like a blink to the people that were gone.
But you know, Rocket and Nebula had to experience that whole five years.
You you get another hint of that whenever Rocket wakes back up.
And what is the first thing he asks is, you know, where's Nebula?
Is she OK?
And then when she finds out that he's OK, like I might cry just thinking about that,
because like when she heard him talk, like talk and she like grabs her face and is like
just doesn't like that's not her.
You know what I mean?
Like she's the one that is steely in the face of danger, but she's right there in the middle
of it and she hears Rocket and just about loses it because like they are the closest.
And I don't know.
It was like I said, it was a beautiful end to this to this trilogy.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm I'm pretty much in line with what Rose said.
I'm sitting at ninety five when it comes to story.
Like it was damn near flawless.
Yeah, I I would be right above there.
All right.
Right out there.
Ninety five.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going ninety seven.
All right, moving on over to writing, this was.
Incredible writing.
Going into what Rose was saying about that, he says top notch writing from Gunn with this
one.
Every guardian gets their moment to shine and gets the perfect send off.
Yes, yes, yes.
Rose, Jesus Christ.
From beyond the grave, you're doing it.
Like I had that thought, like by the end, like when they're I'm like everyone got what
they wanted, like everyone.
I don't know about you guys.
I went into this movie going one or all of them are going to die.
Like that's how this movie is going to end.
Is there all going to be fit?
But not only did they all not die, they all got the happy ending and they all got to like
you like Rose was saying, they all got to have their moment in the sun.
And it was beautiful.
I'm going to be saying that a lot about this movie.
Beautiful.
Dude, there I will say the movie had me going a couple of times whether like someone was
going to die or not.
I knew I was dead.
I knew he was dead, by the way.
I was like, he's dead right now.
Yeah.
So I'll say this once they gave us that little Deadpool moment with him and Lila, I was I
was like, no, he's coming back.
But I did for a while.
I was like, fuck, he's gone.
I was like, this is how they get rid of them.
Like who's going to be the new people and they're going to just get rid of him one by
one and then and Drax too.
I thought Drax was dead.
I was like, you know, when they're when he gets shot twice.
Yes.
I was like, shit, he's dead.
I thought that was it.
I thought that like I thought he was dead.
But honestly, I thought Rocky was gone up until they gave us that little Deadpool moment
right there.
Oh, my dude.
Speaking about that moment for a second.
Holy that like I will say I I was a little like mixed feelings about that because and
this is like not in a negative way because I had just seen a trailer on Tik Tok, right?
Where it was Rocket jumping and like he was in his like Guardians outfit.
And my only thing was like, we haven't seen that yet.
And I was like when I saw that moment, I was like, oh, shit, Rockets dead.
Like that was a lie.
That's the only time we're going to sit like like Marvel did it again.
OK, so speaking of trailers lying, did you am I crazy or was did the trailers when they
showed Lila or I think it was just Lila, did they show her with real arms and not robot
arms?
I think so.
I thought so, too.
I was like, that's not what I'm mad about.
I'm like, OK, no, no, no, me neither.
No, not at all.
I was just saying, like, I like that.
I like when I like when the the the trailers lie a little bit.
I don't like when they like to be laid up like like with the whole Infinity War, where
it's like that running scene where everyone's like that.
I hate where it's like a little subtle one where like you had that moment like with Thor
Ragnarok where Thor comes crashing down with the lightning, but he has both of his eyes.
And then it's like in the movie, he had one eye like that was cool.
Like I'm fine with little changes like that.
What I'm not cool with is just a straight up bullshit.
Yeah, no.
Well, because like I think it worked for No Way Home, too, whenever they they took.
Oh, yeah, they took the two l's out.
Or they didn't take the villains out or just the no, they they took the other two Spider-Man
out.
And then we like we had that one weird clip where lizards getting kicked by nothing.
Yeah.
Um, dude, like one of the things is like because I already shared the one about Drax where
it's where Nebula Sharon with Drax like you weren't meant to be a destroyer, like that
line for me.
Right.
When when I thought Rocket was going to die and like he was like in the afterlife and
talking to Delilah and he's just like he sees like everyone.
And yeah, yeah, like having that.
And then with his whole moment, like, can I come with you?
I'm like, oh, yeah.
And then when he started to flatline, I was like, Jesus, that's it.
Yeah, I was like I was wrong.
I was fucking wrong.
You know what?
You know what part got me, though, too, was just before to his Drax is talking to Mantis
and she's like, yeah, I'm going to go on my own and blah, blah, blah.
And he was like, well, I'm coming with you.
And then his she's like, no, like, that's not the point.
And he's like, well, I'm going to protect you.
And then that's when you know, that's when like then you get Nebula's response to him.
And that got me because he's always so like just the way he talks to her, like to Mantis,
you know, he's like, she's ugly, she's dumb, all this stuff.
But then after he's like, no, I'm going to go to protect you.
And he's like all watery eyed and all this stuff.
Like he doesn't want her to leave.
So that got to me, too.
I will say, too, a lot of the writing that I liked was between what Kraglin and Cosmo
did.
That was a joke that just kept on giving.
And again, by the way, it wasn't for nothing.
It wasn't just to laugh.
It had a payoff.
We're like, and she's a good girl.
Boom.
Smashed.
I knew you.
And then again, his his storyline with the with the arrow and then seeing, oh, my gosh,
seeing Yondu.
Yondu.
Oh, I lost my mind.
I was like I could I it was good.
I kind of I kind of like like when I saw him like, oh, man, because you know, that's the
last time like we saw the last time.
And oops, we really saw it in this movie.
And then he does it and he's badass.
And you're just like, this is I mean, really, everyone got we say that all the Guardians
of the Galaxy got got their moment, but really everybody got their moment.
Like that.
Yeah, dude.
I agree.
Did like we've talked about like a lot of the other Guardians.
Did anyone think like Star-Lord was going to kick the bucket?
Yes.
I mean, if anything, the trailer heavily implied that.
And then they were like, lol, he was drunk.
You're like, well, hold on.
Yeah.
So I will say they had me going at first until his face started swelling up.
And I'm like, that seems like a weird thing to kill him off doing.
I will say that.
Oh, God.
And that's just my like stupid, like overly critical mind coming into play there where
I was like, I was sitting there.
And so his like face started to like kind of like freeze over and like how it usually
does in these movies.
And I was like, OK, and then just kind of kept happening.
And I'm like, they're not going to finish him like that.
Like they're like, no, if they're going to kill him off, they're going to kill him with
some dignity.
By the way, I don't know why that.
Like Yondu, though.
I know, but I don't like this, if they would have just left his face alone, if they would
have left his face alone, I probably would have believed is a bit more.
But they made a puppy and I'm just like, I'm not buying it.
I do see what you're saying.
By the way, another moment that I listen, good writing, I realized in this movie reminds
you of something that like if someone asked you to remember it, you couldn't.
But somehow like the writing makes you remember something because I don't remember the last
time I was truly like heartbroken.
But when Gamora was leaving and said, I bet we were great or I bet we were fun.
I was like, like it made me relive my entire breakup.
It was horrifying.
I was like, I was like hurt by that.
And like I saw I you could tell what she was trying to do for him.
And it probably worked, I guess.
I don't know.
But like, Jesus Christ, like it's a little things like that.
That is like that touch is like you think you're getting off clean and nope, I bet we were
fun.
God dang lady for real.
For real.
Had to make it personal.
Dude somehow they turned this Gamora like they even gave this Gamora a super solid ending.
Like we know like she got to she got to ridiculously good endings.
She died in her last.
I know.
But I mean, still like that, like the emotional impact of that is like that was a solid ending.
And then this one where you think I bet you what what 2014 tomorrow once she wants a family
and she got that in the ravagers.
Holy I'm I'm making this prediction right now.
Star Lord's getting his own solo film and Gamora comes back and O.G. Gamora.
No, I think like this Gamora and then like stuff gets rekindled because she kind of was
she was given some looks, you know, she was giving us some lives.
Yeah, she was giving me some vibes.
So I feel like she's I feel like if they give Star Lord a solo film, she's going to be in
it and they're going to play a big part in that and they're going to they're going to
go with the whole they're going to do like a romance kind of angle to it.
Just call that now.
I want to say to God.
May 9th, 2023, Crash called it.
We're talking a lot about the like the dramatic scenes, but like the comedy in this was really
well done, too.
Yeah, I was afraid that the what's it called?
Get on here.
We're going to I'm going to take you right back to the ship right over there.
Yeah, just get on the motorcycle real quick.
Okay.
No, when they were at the that that Argo Corp place with Nathan Fillion and yeah, with Nathan
Fillion, I thought that was going to play off so dumb.
I'm like, oh, great.
Like, this is just another cheesy leg.
We got away.
But it turned into like a big frickin situation and it was great.
Well, that was a love that James Gunn had his wife get shot.
I love the like running joke of like, dude, I got one of those two.
It's a for yeah, because he's like standing right there.
Like, oh, this guy makes me sick.
I freaking loved that.
That was so good.
By the way, too, you can't I mean, this is definitely going to go like slide into acting
as well.
But God dang, dude, everything written for the high evolutionary was frickin yes.
He did an amazing job to that.
That is that is peak villain.
Like you don't get much better villain than that.
Absolutely.
How do you how do you think he compared to Gore?
He was so much better than Gore.
I don't like I think Gore's motivations were really solid where his like they they set
his motivations in place really well, where it's just like he's constantly improving,
wanting to create like the perfect world, perfect society.
And then you see how far he frickin takes it when Rocket realizes like, oh, you're like
when he laughs at Rocket, like you're going to this earth.
Now, you're absolutely right.
I agree.
And you know what?
I think I was always disappointed with gorgeous because I love him in the comics.
So I feel like he didn't they didn't do him as as much justice, you know.
But yeah, I think I think you're right.
I love I love the high evolutionary.
I mean, listen, I know that I mean, I didn't know Gore like that.
Like I my only run in with Gore was in the Thor movie.
So I really liked him a lot.
I mean, clearly he's not he's not as intense, obviously, as as the high evolutionary.
But I still do hold him as one of like the top tier MCU villains.
But I think it's interesting that like he the high evolutionary seemed as dangerous
like he was reckless.
Clearly, he was way too reckless.
But he seemed as dangerous as we are supposed to understand Kang to be, if that makes sense.
Like he's he's just like that.
If that unhinged was combined with Kang's like cunning and I don't know what the other
word is I'm looking for.
But like if it was combined, if those two were combined like that, that guy is the frickin
he's definitely the next Thanos.
Oh, yeah.
So Rose ended up giving this a ninety four for writing.
Wrong.
Where are you saying 98?
Wow.
Where are you sitting, Vic?
I'm sitting like I'm sitting at a ninety six with the writing.
I love the writing in this.
I just loved all the like I said, even all the send offs, all the all the emotional parts,
man, like they got they got you good.
Actually scratch that ninety seven.
For them to make me cry solely because of like, you know, dialogue and go to ninety
seven.
Yeah, I'm keeping it steady with my story score sitting at ninety five.
All right.
Moving on over to acting, we have Bradley Cooper who voiced Rocket, Pom Clement, he
said, I can't wait.
I can't wait.
Rose, I hope you're listening to this right now.
Wait until he gets to the high evolutionary.
Go on.
Keep going.
Where was I?
Dave Batista, who?
No, no, no.
You didn't finish Mantis.
Hold on.
Who played Mantis?
Pom Clement, who played Mantis?
Dave Batista, who plays Drax?
We got Karen Gillan, who plays Nebula?
Vin Diesel, who plays Groot?
Or as he became known in this one, Swole Groot.
I heard someone call him, I don't know if it was James Gunn or not, but that technically
the Groot at the very, very end is King Groot.
Yeah, I was going to say that I love that they made him look like his like the way he
originally gets introduced.
I thought that's really cool.
I told I pointed that out to my sister and her boyfriend after the movie.
They had no idea.
Yeah.
Wait, can I pause you for one second?
I want to say one more thing about writing to keep it to the 98.
I felt like this and it was confirmed by James Gunn, but I really felt like this at the moment.
At the end, when they're all around each other and Groot says, I love you guys, I immediately
had the feeling of like, we understand him now.
And that was confirmed.
That wasn't like him saying that.
That's why they didn't react to it.
That was like you as the viewer have spent so much time with the Guardians that you can
now understand Groot as well.
Dude, I that's exactly what I thought.
Like, because no one else like reacted.
I was just like, wait, did Groot just speak?
Yeah.
Like, oh, dude, that was fantastic.
Sorry, that was that was for writing as well.
But I think that'll kind of bleed into acting too.
Let's see who else we got here.
Mariah Bacalova, who voiced Cosmo, Sean Gunn, who played Kraglin and apparently Young Rocket.
And then we have Chris Pratt, who played Peter Quill.
Oh, and Will Poulter, Adam Mortl, they did not put these in order.
No, I don't know.
Did they put them in appearance order or just sort of like no in credits order?
But that's that's messed up because they have the onset Groot, whoever steamy blue liver
was.
Steamy blue.
Oh yeah, there he is.
Yeah.
Hoop toe.
And then Peter Quill.
That's so strange.
Yeah, I'm looking to see if there's like anyone else.
Oh, Zoe Zaldana.
Gamora.
Yes, of course.
OK, yeah, that's that's it.
Sylvester Stallone.
Yeah.
And OK.
And then Nathan Fillion.
Where the hell is this high evolutionary?
I know I'm attempting to say his name.
Do it.
Chuck Woody.
I don't even see him on the credits.
Are you on IMDB?
I am.
Yeah, he's at the top.
Wait, what?
Oh, that's why I just immediately started scrolling.
I mean, again, we've established it's in crazy people order.
So yeah.
Yeah, and so Chuck Woody, a woogy played the high evolutionary and dude, who he was fantastic.
Well, I don't know if you're going to try and do a top three.
I am going to fight to make the entirety of the Guardians of the Galaxy to be just one,
one pick one entity.
Yeah.
So Rose said, this is Rockets movie and the vocal performance Bradley Cooper gives is
nothing but amazing.
His best work in the franchise, Chris Pratt's emotional scenes and Pom Clementeaf's comedic
bits were both standouts for me as well.
Dude, so I'm so it sounds like his top three is Bradley Cooper, Chris Pratt and then Pom.
It's funny because as soon as he said that or as soon as you read what he said that that
rocket scream or the Bradley Cooper screaming after Lila died was yo.
Like, I never thought I could feel such a way about a raccoon screaming in pain and
agony.
But who that made me feel some type of way.
Dude, you want to talk about feeling some sort of way.
What about when he frickin called himself Rocket Raccoon?
That was a right.
That was like they could have played that so ridiculously cheesy.
But the way he's like, guys, I'm rocking.
He said it.
I saw this.
I saw a theory that the high evolutionary is from Earth and their backup for that is I
mean, a they made all he made alternate Earth or whatever it was for all those animals.
But their main thing was like how much was written in English like around him.
Like there's no reason for there to have been so much in English.
And it all ended with Rocket, you know, reading like, hey, North from North American continent
species raccoon.
Like why was that written in English?
I mean, well, he said he was like the high evolutionary said that he's like was always
intrigued with Earth.
Now the people that I heard talk about this address that and they're like, really?
In the entirety of everywhere, Earth was the most interesting of all of them, of every
single one Earth was like, maybe.
But I don't know.
Either way, it was great.
It was a great move to make it English so that you could see that he read.
Raccoon was like, wait, that is me.
Oh, man, dude.
Like I loved that little moment where he's like freeing all the other raccoons and then
he's like looking around at all the other animals and just.
Yes, because I feel like Rockets always been like super distance or like he's always been
about himself, though, too.
Yeah, like he's always thought of himself as like his own thing.
Like he's not a raccoon.
He's like better than that.
We saw why.
That's how he was, is because he was not that way.
Like he wanted to be a part of something.
And then it was it was taken from him violently.
And like that was his whole deal.
Like in volume one, like it was just him and Groot.
And they had no interest in being a part of any other group with anybody.
And now we kind of have a little more light on why that is because, you know, he that
his experience with getting close to people is I'm going to lose you or fail you.
It wasn't just lose you.
It was I'm going to fail you and just did not want to have to deal with that again.
And then kind of made the full circle of like, no, because what did they say?
I try not to watch or like listen to any like reviews or anything before I'm going to do
this show.
But the the one point that somebody made that I saw was like, if you look at what happens
when he is a young raccoon and all of that, all that happens with Lila and Tiefs and everyone,
he runs away.
And then when they're back at the very end, he's like, we're not running anymore.
And you know, they they go after him.
So it's it really is like his story coming full circle.
And yeah, a beautiful moment, as it were, a beautiful movie with a beautiful moment.
It is a super solid moment.
Yeah.
Where are you guys sitting with your acting scores?
So I think did I say what Rose gave it?
No, he gave it a ninety six.
Oh, did you say I'm oh, no, he didn't say that.
I'm sorry. I remember the order.
Ninety six.
Yeah. So are.
Yeah, Rose gave it a ninety six.
And honestly, I might be giving it a little higher than Rose.
I'm like ninety seven.
Like it was so everyone did such a good job.
Like there was not a single person's performance I had an issue with.
I mean, well, Poulter, but I think that was what it was written than him.
Yeah, I'm going ninety nine.
And it really only is because honestly, and this is what I mean by talking me down is
like I would have been 100 had we not talked about Adam Warlock a little bit and kind of
been like, yeah, I guess he kind of was there for as like
what for whatever reason he was there, he was there.
But I didn't mind it.
Like, but it was kind of like, I guess it wasn't completely necessary.
I'm I'm probably sitting at like a ninety seven myself with this man.
They like hit the nail.
Like they just they just did such a great job with delivering like just the again, the
motion.
I mean, this movie is like heavy on the emotions and stuff.
They hit they they all just did such a great job of selling that.
You know, and then even the even the funny parts, the parts that are meant to be like
a comedic relief, like the comic relief that like didn't feel forced like I think now other,
you know, Marvel movies kind of felt in the past.
Thor, you know, some of the some of the jokes and stuff felt forced in that one, but not
none this one.
And I don't know if it's maybe like maybe the actors are just so into their characters
that they just have it down or something.
But I yeah, I know what I'm really like.
I would put money down that this was.
Partially like a spite thing.
Because a lot of things that have come out from this movie has been James Gunn, Chris
Pratt and like a bunch of the other guardians being like, we don't like how we were treated
in this in Endgame or in Infinity War.
Like James Gunn has even said like what they wrote or what they had Peter do hitting Thanos
in the middle of this climactic moment, trying to like make Thanos lose and then Peter loses
his cool.
Like this like you're talking about the Peter that was ready to kill Gamora.
Like no, he's making Thanos lose at whatever cost.
Like he's not going to lose his cool and basically be the reason the world gets snapped away.
Like it was a complete they thought it was.
Yeah, James Gunn thought it was completely out of character.
Chris Pratt came out shortly after and is just like, yeah, I had some big issues and
I was like begging them not to do that.
But they did went ahead and did it anyway.
And so a bunch of other guardians were just like, yeah, we I feel like we got frickin
shafted.
Well, with when Endgame was coming out, how how soon before or after that was the the
whole James Gunn debacle where he was fired and then unfired?
It wasn't too long.
Well, I know he consulted for Endgame.
And so I think it was shortly after Endgame that the whole firing thing happened.
I don't know.
It's funny to see him talking about it now because like again, maybe he's just being
diplomatic.
But when I saw his his AMA on Twitter, like people asked if what like they were more asking
about like the guardians that got snapped away, like if that, you know, had any effect
on the story that he was trying to tell.
And he basically was like, no, he's like they and I heard him in an interview talking about
it like he didn't necessarily have a choice of who was going to be snapped away or not.
But it he's like, it honestly didn't matter.
So it's the story that he was trying to get out was going to happen no matter who left
basically.
That's good.
I'm glad that he didn't let this affect his story too much.
I mean, and again, this could just be all like him front and just being like, you know,
being the diplomat now because, you know, what's the point of throwing a grenade on
your way out?
Especially since he is going to, you know, he's the Kevin Feige of the DC universe now.
So I mean, who like, what's the point?
But I don't know.
I mean, no matter what happened, I mean, we still, again, got a great movie.
Yeah.
All right.
Moving on over to character development, just to start off with what Rose said, he
says, seeing what Rocket went through absolutely destroys you.
I've never seen an MCU's characters backstory be told with so much detail.
While hard to watch, I'm glad we got it.
Well, I think that and then you can't in my mind, you can't talk about their, the
guardian, the main guardians, like their character arcs without going from volume one to now,
now that we have that full arc.
Dude, it was fricking 10 out of 10, their arcs.
Because again, they like, everyone got their moment.
Like we talked about, but they also like, nothing felt like cheap.
You know what I mean?
Like none of their endings seemed like, oh, well, they just had to do that because that's
the only thing that would make sense, but it's not what would actually happen.
Like, no, there was none of that.
So all the way down to, you know, Rocket being the leader of the group, like that, that end
scene to me where they were, where he was saying and they telling Rocket, he's the leader
now basically.
And they're all, you know, given their, you know, we have our allegiance to you now captain.
That was there.
That was all of their arcs.
I mean, coming to the coming to a head right there.
Yeah, I agree.
That was that part was another one where I was just like choked up, just so choked up
because you know, I mean, even like Peter, did anyone like pound their chest?
I did not.
I did.
I was too busy weeping like a baby.
No, I, I mean, even Peter, like you're saying, you know, that's like all of their full arcs
because like, look at Peter, he was always, you know, this is my ship.
I'm the captain.
I'm the leader.
Blah, blah, blah.
But then, like you said, he's so like, you know, he's got this change of, I don't even
know just character, character arc.
Yeah, like his character arc where he is just now he's like, he's willing to like pass on
the reins and, you know, and like, no, you've got this.
Like I've got to go do my own thing.
I've got to do this.
They grew.
They all grew as people, like all of them.
Like you can.
It's it's.
Sorry.
I think it's a lot of what they like things that they've dealt with.
Like it's hard to to judge, like character development only on this movie because you
have to score it with like over the entire course of yeah, of just what we've seen, like
of their timeline.
And I think one thing that's always like they kind of just wrapped everything with a perfect
little bow like Peters, especially stood out to me because like he's dealing with like
in the first movie, it was the loss of his mother.
The second he had to straight up kill his father and then his father figure died.
So he's kind of dealing with like a double loss there.
And then like he it's an infinity war.
He loses his his love.
And then it's just like in this it's just like he at least what we saw in the holiday
special, you see that Mantis is his sister and he's just kind of like super excited about
that.
And I think he's just kind of closed himself off to like going back to Earth and visiting
his his grandfather, like family that he that he knew because he was afraid of how like
what it would be like.
But I think having like that family attachment with Mantis really helped like push him to
to go see his grandfather.
And I would say if you wanted to say there's one arc that only really I mean, kind of only
technically happened in this movie.
It is this Gamora because technically that's not the one that we we knew and loved.
But even her arc, like she like you got she got enough time.
You got enough time with her and she had enough good moments that you could see her go from
like I don't want to be I don't want to be a part of any of this.
I just want to go back and ravage or whatever to to again them like it didn't feel unearned
when she was like, I bet we were fun.
Like that was I that that was a great arc for her as well because she went from like
complete denial to like, you know, I understand what you went through with, you know, me in
quotes.
I think that's the key phrase that you put it is that none of it was unearned.
Like everything in here, like it wasn't just thrown in.
It wasn't just, you know, like you said earlier, like because this needs to happen.
Everything was just everything was so well deserved, well earned and got to where it
was so naturally, you know, just felt so natural.
I think they handled this perfectly because like Peter, like even though like you can
almost say that he kind of got put on the back burner a little bit in terms of what
his story was.
But it's because the two first or the first two movies focus so heavily on his story.
And then Drax has always kind of been like an odd, goofy character.
But you like you kind of know his his heart and then this just kind of showed it off a
lot.
Like when he's talking to the children and being like calling them idiots and like playing
with them and like being a like a father to to these kids and like showing that part of
him off instead of just being Drax the destroyer, like killer of Thanos or killer of Ronit,
like whatever he is.
And just you get to see that like softer side to him.
So that felt like super earned because like each movie he's kind of talked a little bit
about his his family daughter.
Yeah.
And when he said that, when he was like my daughter used to like this, and even though
he wasn't doing it in a sad way, I was like, oh, my God, like this is like I it's funny
because I was thinking, I hope everyone else understands what a beautiful moment this is.
Like this is this is like some we are watching this dude heal right in front of our very
eyes, which is wild.
Yeah, it was perfect.
And then like same thing with like Nebula, like we'd seen her like so just heavy hearted
for so long.
And seeing her just kind of soften up was a really nice touch.
And then like it felt very natural for her to be like, yeah, I'm not like I'm going to
stay here, hold the fort down and in nowhere.
And like with with Drax and like loved loved all that.
Like everyone had such good art and then like Gamora too.
Even though this is a new Gamora.
But if you think back to the 2014 Gamora, she she was in like she was in the same place
she was in the first Guardians.
Like she was ready to frickin leave Thanos.
And she did like she even like now she's just in the future.
She was ready to leave and find real connection somewhere.
And I know like she has this weird dude like that's like pining over her.
But she's just like, whatever, like, leave me alone, dude.
But and then she finds like a family like a dysfunctional family within the Ravagers.
And it just kind of seems like, yeah, that's exactly what happened to her in the first
one.
And then it just sounds like this dysfunctional family and the Guardians in this timeline.
It's just happened with the Ravagers.
That's funny.
Speaking of the Ravagers, they had that weird like Pokemon wizard that was part of the you
know I'm talking about.
It was like the red.
Nothing was funnier.
Somebody brought up the point.
They're like, it's crazy that they had to do this weird like spacesuit mission to get
in there.
Why didn't they just have old boy just portal open up a portal?
That was exactly I leaned over to my sister's boyfriend and I was like, this is such a huge
plot hole.
Like the fact that they have a fucking sorcerer right here who can clearly open portals into
wherever the fuck he wants because he doesn't have to see where he's going.
So why do they make up this whole plan?
I get it.
You need a story.
But don't introduce somebody that could clearly open up portals to any fucking where and then
not use him like, oh man, I thought that was great.
This is like completely unrelated.
It's just something that really like made me laugh was the when they were in the spacesuits
and he like pushing the buttons to.
Oh my God.
I laughed so freaking hard at that.
That was funny.
Like no, blue is like for the open line for everyone.
Yeah.
And every other color is for a different color.
Except that like that was the strangest thing.
So Rose ended up giving character development a ninety five.
Where are you guys sitting at?
I can just go ahead and tell you I'm going to be a fat one hundred on that one.
I'm going to stick with my ninety seven.
Seems to be a theme right now for me with all these.
Yeah, honestly, I'm I'm not too much different.
I might be one point higher sit or then rose a hundred and one.
No, I'm sitting at a ninety six.
All right.
Getting into the effects.
Dude, that's less than ten.
Did anyone else freaking lose their mind with how epic that hallway fight was?
Dude.
Yeah, that was awesome.
That is like hands down.
That is the best MCU hallway or any hallway fight ever.
Right.
Like the MCU, they started with Daredevil, I feel like they like introduced hallway fights
with the Daredevil TV show.
And then they were like, all right, it all led to this where it doesn't.
I don't know if it gets any cooler than this.
But then it did.
It was.
The fact that it was a one shot and just kind of like slow motion, kind of sliding around
everyone, flipping back, doing the same thing like seeing Rocket jump over everyone, blasting
them.
You get that like sweet little moment where he like climbs up, groups back and just blasting
everyone just like it's everything you wanted to see.
Well, it was very like Avengers ask, you know what I mean?
Like whenever that's that moment in the Avengers where they just they all come together and
they're fighting at once like that was that for the Avengers have ever done anything that
epic though.
I know what he's talking.
I know what he's talking about, though.
It gives off the vibe like, yeah, think of like Age of Ultron, like when there's blasting
through the forest and like everybody's doing their own thing.
You know, you've got everybody working together.
Thor and Cap are using the hammer and a shield.
I know what he's talking.
I get what he's saying.
Like it definitely gave off that vibe where it's like you have a team that's like working
together like a well, yeah, well, machine.
Yeah.
And not not just using their own strengths, but like their teammates strengths to their
advantage to their.
Yeah, that was awesome.
That was an amazing fight.
We saw it again, too, whenever they went to go and speak with the high evolutionary and
then Quill and Groot and Groot, dude.
That was cool.
That when I like I liked how he just gives it shows him like only giving him the two
blasters.
But then when he opens up everything, it's like, holy shit, dude, like you are like,
man, just when you think Groot can't get any cooler.
That's why he had to get swole.
He jumps out a window and he can fly.
Oh, my God.
Actually, he fell with style.
He fell style for sure.
Dude, that.
Oh, my gosh.
I can't I can't think like.
I think you can definitely tell that like within the effects, there are moments where
it comes off a little rubbery, but like I'm thinking like when like when Drax is like
thrown or like any time they're like sliding around or jumping and like doing like a corkscrew
type of move like that kind of stuff feels like a little bit mannequin esque.
But it maybe because it works within the scene.
I think it's because those are probably the few like things that aren't CGI.
Like that's probably a stunt actor, you know, that you're seeing.
You're not.
So it's a lot of it is probably just like an actual person.
You know what I mean?
Like it's more like when people are like I'm thinking like Orgo Corp, when they're flying
around and like Drax comes and like smashes someone down like like are throwing someone
like. I think it's just it's things like that that come off.
But I think they were able to incorporate this like the weird rubbery looking suits
in a way that made it seem a little bit more natural.
Like they they tried to work around it.
And other than like I said, a scene maybe here and there, the effects were damn good.
I'll tell you where they were the best.
They had a couple of brutal kills in this one that kind of like surprised me.
But when they pulled off the high evolutionary's face at the end and show rocket did to it,
I was like, what are you?
By the way, that's what they were missing in Multiverse of Madness, because that was
a horror face.
Yeah, that's that was straight out of a straight out of like Silence of the Lambs right there,
man.
Like that dragon shit for sure.
I was kind of like really hesitant about like what his face looked like after like they
took that off, because a lot of people were saying like, oh, he's going to take it off
and it's going to be a comic accurate like robot head.
And I don't know what I didn't know what I did.
Again, I don't know a lot of these characters from any of the comics.
But when they were taking his face off, I was like, oh, it's going to be a robot face.
And then when they showed that face, I was like, oh, my God.
Like, yeah, that was awesome.
It was rough to look at, dude.
But again, that I mean, I'm sure it was touched up with CGI, but it looked very practical.
Oh, yeah, it looks amazing.
Is almost on the same level as two face from Dark Knight.
Yes.
And by the way, if we're if we're going to do we we're talking about effects, right?
Sorry, I'm losing my mind.
I would include the set in there as well, because they again, the James Gunn AMA, they
filmed the holiday special, like at the same time that they were filming this movie.
So like when you see where they're at and nowhere like it looks it looks like, oh, my
God, it's exactly like it was in the holiday special because it was like they didn't even
like have to rebuild the set.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
Like I thought I don't know.
All the sets looked amazing.
I thought all the what you're saying about like the rubbery Ness a little bit, like as
far as like whenever they were at what is it called?
Orgo Corp.
It's an issue that all MCU movies have.
And I think it's just all movies where people are doing things that are superhuman.
Yeah, I don't know.
It seemed I mean, maybe it was just my own bias, but it seemed to fit like it seemed
to be like they were going for an aesthetic in that moment with all of those all of those
minions like floating in the air and then coming down at the same time.
Like maybe I don't know.
Maybe I'm too biased.
No, I wouldn't.
Like like I said, the the this effects that I'm talking about, they worked within the
scene how they work like they weren't distracting.
It's just something that maybe I was looking for in like the heavy what I assumed were
like the heavy CGI scenes.
It was just me trying to be like, all right, is there anything like crazy noticeable?
And I had to like really look like if I would have just been watching this as a as a.
As a fanboy, I probably wouldn't have even noticed, but it's kind of hard to like know
that I'm critiquing a movie later and just be like, oh, yeah, I had like.
I didn't notice anything.
Yeah, so Rose ended up giving the oh, I forgot what Rose I did not read what Rose said about
the sound effects.
So Rose said Rocket and Groot have never looked better.
The CGI on all of the animals is great.
Yes.
Yeah.
So he's sitting in sitting at a 94.
Where are you?
I'm going to be the asshole and I'm going to be like a 92.
On the effects.
Yeah.
Where are you guys at?
I'm at a 95.
I'm at a 95, too.
Fair enough.
Like I said, I'll be the asshole.
We'll just call you wrong.
We don't have to be mean about it.
It's no need for name calling here.
All right.
Next up, we got music.
Ten out of ten.
Do we even need to talk about it?
I was going to say I was going to say this is definitely a ten out of ten.
But let me just say this, too.
It being a ten out of ten, I.
Never mind.
The music was no.
Please.
I was going to say I don't think it's I think I like the soundtracks from like the first
one.
Like I think if I could rank which one I think had the better soundtrack, I think the first
one is just the best.
That's just me.
But this one had amazing.
It is a ten out of ten for me with the music.
The soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy is always like perfect.
So I mean, it's still a ten.
But I think like for me, I just I just love the first one so much.
So if you had to rank the three one, two, three, the soundtracks, how would you rank
them?
I'd probably go one, three, two.
Yeah, I agree with that.
Yeah, like like two had some good ones.
But but man, three, I love that it had it had like modern stuff, too, especially when
like Rockets looking at his zoom.
Yes.
And it's all categorized by decade.
Like amazing.
And you can tell, like he's gone through all of whoops, he's gone through like all of those
different, you know, eras of music.
And I love like he gets to two thousands and he's just like, OK, dude, when at the beginning,
when he's listening to creep.
Oh, my God, dude.
And like that is it's this weird thing of like it was the perfect song for them.
It made me feel some type of way immediately because I already love that song anyway.
But like it's I mean, just listen to the words and listen to who's singing it like it's it's
yeah, I don't know.
I agree with that.
One, three, two.
Yeah, I'll I'm right there with you guys.
I think personally, I think I'd be I think I liked more songs from two.
And that's just but I think three had the better soundtrack.
Yeah.
Out of our better than two.
Yeah.
So Rose says, I will never look at Dog Days Are Over the same way again.
One of the best uses of a final song I've ever seen in a movie.
I was crying happy tears.
Yes.
As were we all.
That was something else I saw somebody say is like and I didn't notice this at all, but
Drax dancing was like a big deal because his whole thing like he tells Peter at one point,
he's like, yeah, you need to find someone who will dance with you, you know, someone
who's weak like you.
Oh, dude, what's the line from that he when he was like explaining his wife, he's just
like, oh, my mom, my my wife was the the mightiest of all warriors.
Like you could be playing the like the oh, yeah, the best like he's talking about the
second one, right?
Maybe and then he's just like, it's the second movie.
He wouldn't even tap her foot.
Yeah.
I freaking butchered that line.
But yeah, no, that's that's definitely the second one.
Yeah, that was good.
But then he's dancing at the like that.
It's I don't know.
Again, there's layers to this onion.
I think I think that's the whole nebula line, though, where he's not a destroyer.
He's a father.
Like, that's what he's meant to be, and that comes with he's I think he's more of a protector.
And I think that's why like the interaction with him in Mantis got to me.
But that also, you know, doesn't mean, you know, as a father, I'm sure that means, you
know, well, Caleb, you know, your dad, you know, means just being fun to you, right?
You know?
Yeah.
And it's just making mundane things as fun as you can.
Right.
Pretty much what it is.
So I think without surprise, Rose ended up giving this a 10 out of 10 with music.
So are we all in agreeance with him?
Yes, I absolutely.
All right.
And then we have costumes.
These are 10.
Yeah, dude, these are I'd give it a 10.
Yeah.
How do you what else could you give it?
Like on Cosmo alone, you got to go 10.
Howard the Duck was in there.
That was bad out of here.
Yeah.
Rose said Comic Accurate Guardians costumes couldn't have asked for more.
Yeah.
You know what?
I do and like MCU when they go Comic Accurate, they do a damn good job with.
Yes.
With their stuff.
When they go Comic Accurate, it is.
They made those outfits work so ridiculously well on even everyone.
Even I even like like tripped out and like kind of fangirled a little over Groot at the
end, you know, looking more like King Groot, you know, and I like just really big because
it's totally different than what when we first saw Groot ever where he's, you know, just
tall kind of slender.
But like this one, he's massive.
He's even got like the crown almost looking head like just look amazing.
And I just I loved that.
I loved that.
And when they go Comic Accurate, I feel like that's as good as you can make that without
making it look cheesy or just bad.
You know what I mean?
Like before you make it look bad, like that's as accurate and realistic as you could get
it.
Oh, yeah.
They nailed this.
They I will say this isn't like affecting my my score at all.
There's a helmet that Star Lord has with that suit that I wish we would have gotten to see.
And it's a goofy looking helmet.
But like, you know, the one I'm talking about, I think so.
But like, do you know why he didn't have his helmet or rocket boots or anything in this?
Like, was there a reason behind that?
I think someone broke it.
I guess.
Yeah.
Oh, I think it was I think it was during Volume Two.
His helmet got busted.
So he didn't have like I think he tried activating his helmet with Yondu.
But then Yondu like to play Yondu had to.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I got to watch the volume.
And these suits went went hard.
And they looked good on everyone.
Yeah, they absolutely did.
I will say I do wish that we got to see Gamora in it, but it does make sense why we didn't.
Yeah.
Um, but I mean, the high evolutionary looked amazing.
The like all the Guardians, the frickin the Ravagers all looked awesome.
I love the going back to the Orgo Corp, like as goofy as their suits looked like, I thought
those were really funny.
And like, they actually ended up working really well, too.
Like, I was just like, OK, great.
We got these big ass Tilly Dubbies.
But like, they ended up like posing a threat, which was actually kind of nice.
So like really good for like tension building.
But frickin amazing costumes.
So I think, again, without surprise, Rose ended up giving this a 10.
Same.
Don't be the asshole, Caleb.
Oh, I'm not going to be the asshole on this one.
Even if I wanted to be majority rules on this one.
Music and costumes has to be a unanimous decision.
Gotcha.
Or if it's not a unanimous decision, it's usually gets rounded down.
But yeah, I'm not going to be the asshole on this one.
All right.
Last up, we got personal scores.
So Rose left his first.
So I'll read that off real quick.
James Gunn has created one of the best trilogies I've ever seen.
This third movie is the perfect send off to these amazing characters that we have grown
with over the years and have taken a special place in our hearts.
From the heartbreaking backstory of Rocket to the emotional roller coaster of the final
act.
This third movie nails everything it sets out to do.
This is a perfect trilogy in my eyes.
And he gave it a 96.
All right.
Come on, Rose.
Listen, I know you've left this earthly plane.
RIP the goat.
But come on.
All that in 96.
I agree with everything you said, but give it a hundred.
It deserves a hundred.
This is I'm giving it a hundred, by the way.
I don't have a well thought out soliloquy to give you at the end.
I feel like I've said I don't know what more I can say about this movie other than I love
it very much.
Like this is this is I don't think this is my number one MCU movie, but this is in the
top five floating around in there somewhere for sure.
Oh, absolutely.
It is definitely sitting sitting there for me, too.
What are you thinking, Vic?
I'm sitting.
Shit, I'm sitting at a 98.
I'm sitting at a 98.
And I think the reason I am is what the MCU has been throwing at me lately is a lot of
goodbyes and a lot of sendoffs like from endgame on like has been nothing but sendoffs with
Iron Man, you know, Captain America.
It's just like and then with this, you know, it's it's not so much like a set.
Well, I guess it is the disbandment of the of the original group.
You know what I mean?
And it's for me, it's like, man, they just they did it.
They did it so well.
And I'm a DJ.
It's like probably as far as like those recent movies with like those sendoffs, even like
No Way Home, stuff like that, like all those movies that just MCU has been lately just
attacking the heartstrings and they did a damn good job with this one.
So I'm going to I'm going to say with the 98.
But damn, it was this was definitely one of the better, more recent films that have come
out in this in this phase for sure.
Hands down.
So how far under Eternals are you going to put this one, Caleb?
All the way under.
Yeah.
So the.
I'm going to be given it a 97.
I I think that that's around what I gave No Way Home.
I loved this movie.
It was such a frickin blast, like every.
Heartbreaking moment.
Just hit with with a frickin fiery passion, it felt like.
And I had a great frickin time with this movie, seeing the Guardians in action, like all like
the original five plus like throwing in Mantis and Nebula into the mix.
Like it was a great watch and seeing them in some killer outfits.
And I think one like something that I really appreciate about this is that they didn't
just throw the the outfits on.
In the last like 10 minutes, like they were in it for a good portion of the movie.
And that was amazing because I think it's bullshit that we don't get like super comic
accurate suits or whatever until like the very end of the movie.
So like I really appreciate that we got the killer outfits and.
Yeah, I just loved.
Everything and anything that this movie was like, I think everyone brought their a game
to this movie and.
It was fantastic.
So yeah, I'll be given this a 97.
So that wraps up this breakdown.
So going through these scores real quick story coming off real strong, sitting at a 95.5.
The writing averaged out to a 96 acting averaged out to a 97.25.
The character development averaged out to a 97.
The effects are our lowest score, sitting at a 94.
Music is sitting at a 10.
Costumes is sitting at a 10.
And our personal score averaged out to a 97.75.
What is your highest rated movie right now?
I'm willing to bet it's this one.
Well, before this before this one, it was no way home.
All right, let's see if we can dethrone the king.
How dare you, sir?
Yeah, so.
With all of that, the final all bros untrained eye and whatever the hell Vic is doing, formerly
the artist formerly known as crash and Taz.
The final grade for Guardians of the Galaxy volume three has come out to an.
A. A.
And I do not know off the top of my head if this out did.
No way home.
So it is sitting at a 97.18 percent.
Wow.
So, yeah, we do not have a lot of is a movie movies.
Yeah.
Like we literally have five.
And Guardians of the Galaxy is our number two.
Wow.
It did not outdo Spider-Man.
No way home.
I'm not going to lie.
I am kind of shocked, dude.
It is.
I kind of am too, actually.
It is, you know, what?
It was like, close.
You know what, though?
Like thinking about both movies.
How close is it?
I got to hear this.
I know the percentages apparently don't matter, but I got to know how how close this is.
So the so Spider-Man, no way home is at a 97.37 where Guardians of the Galaxy volume
three is at a 97.18.
Wow.
So it is redonkulously tight.
Like I'll get an exact number here.
Honestly, though, that I'm not surprised.
One nine.
I'm not surprised, though, because that's like both of those movies thinking about both of
them off the top of my head put me in the same vibe.
Like hands down, put me in the same vibes as far as send offs, as far as the emotional,
you know, the emotional, what's it called?
Ties that you have to characters like I can see them being very no way home had the benefit
to of being like not just a send off for the MCU.
Well, I mean, I say a send off for the MCU Spider-Man, but you know what I mean?
But like, yeah, the ones that were brought into the fold as well with Toby, right.
And Andrew Garfield is like that was unexpected.
Like as much as we all wanted it to happen, like, I think it was kind of a far fetched
idea that we were like, I don't know if this is really gonna happen.
Right.
And they kind of got their I don't know about happy ending, but they definitely got more
of a justified ending than they got initially.
That's a nice way of putting that a justified ending.
I mean, not a happy ending, but a justified.
So comparing the two, like looking at their score, Spider-Man, No Way Home did better
on story writing and our personal score by like barely.
Like, did you join us on No Way Home?
I'm pretty sure you did.
I'm pretty sure I did.
No, I think what happened.
No, I know what happened with that one.
I had I think I may have missed it, but I sent in my scores.
I think I think it was that one.
Okay.
Sounds right.
Because I remember where I was when we were supposed to record that.
And that was a yeah, I think I remember that one.
Yeah.
So if if anyone's upset, you can blame Vic.
But yeah, so that so I will just real quick.
I'm going to throw this in our MCU.
Well, what naturally did it did it get above?
Above?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, before this gets so like I said, it's only below Spider-Man, No Way Home, but it
is above Bohemian Rap City.
Yes, which is out in ninety five.
It is above the ballot of Buster Scruggs, which is at a ninety four point six two.
It is above Avengers Endgame, which is adding ninety four point zero six.
Did you guys do that or was that a was that a send in?
I think we did that.
OK, I think we did.
Yeah, I know.
We split that one up into two parts because back then we cared about if it went over three
hours.
Yeah, so our end game breakdown was split into two.
So yeah, Vic was on that one with us.
So that's all the A movies getting into a minus.
It's above War of the Planet of the Apes.
And room.
Oh, I got to tell you, I never knew what ballot of the ballot of Buster Scruggs was, but I've
started seeing like for whatever reason, Tick Tock started showing me clips of it and it's
a nothing what I thought it was and B I have to watch this movie now.
I don't again.
I don't know what I thought it was, but it is not what I've been seeing.
Just go in expecting the unexpected with that one, but it's a good movie.
Yeah, it's a damn good movie.
So I'm going to do a little bit of.
So might I recommend Tusk?
Dude, Tusk is all time.
You have not done Tusk yet.
You should do.
We have done.
We have done Tusk.
Yeah.
What a great movie.
Sorry, I'm trying to get these.
Are you typing Rose in?
Is this what's happening?
Are you scheming again?
You're still.
No, I'm trying to figure out the.
I'm trying to figure out what these scores are without DJ.
And if he wasn't, the screen would just the connection would just be lost.
That would be it.
We wouldn't even hear from him.
That would be it.
We just.
That's what happened to the show.
I don't know.
It took it all down every episode.
It's all gone now.
It's all.
I never heard from them again.
Tell me the numbers.
So just like the movie, guys, just like the movie listeners, all you bros out there, just
like how they said that it was Rockets story being told the whole time he became the leader.
This is just us revealing to you that this has been my show now the whole time and I
am now the main bro.
Yeah.
The show is changing from the all bros to the main bro to the almighty bro featuring
DJ and others and others who missed the entire surprise at the beginning of this.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to buy you time.
That will wake me up at night for the rest of my life.
Hey, honestly, for the rest of your life is too much like give it up for a month.
I would be happy for at least a month.
I'll be happy if it bugged you that much.
Not the rest of your life, dude.
Like no joke.
There's shit about like second grade that I still like like you could twitch about.
Listen, we got to experience it.
That's all that matters.
That's true.
Again, it is.
It was perfect timing, though, because I was just telling Caleb I went on like a 15 minute
diatribe about how I was as I can't remember a time I was.
Can you describe his can you describe his face?
Because I hadn't yet like joined on the video chat yet.
So I was going off of you like just noticing that something was wrong.
Well, because for the folks at home, I'm going to take my glasses off now.
Storytime.
I'm going to let you know that I thought I said something wrong because Caleb just covered
his face.
He covered his face with both hands and I could see him.
I literally could see him gripping his face that you're going to say, right.
And I was like, I was on the verge for a split second.
I was like, I think I said something wrong.
And then it like I knew something was up.
And when I was like, hey, is everything and he's like, no recording, dude, I have never
my heart has never gone so far out to someone.
What would you say like maybe the first seven minutes?
I mean, you went through the whole intro and everything like I know I'd say I'd say top
seven minutes, maybe the first five minutes of conversation in that entire.
I don't know.
That was amazing.
That was hilarious.
I'm just glad that it's not just me because you know how many times I did that on Crash
a Taz movie seller?
Like I can't tell you how many times we'd be sitting there.
We're talking and then I'm like, well, shit, Taz, guess what?
We're starting that all over again and you need to act surprised.
Dude, that made me want to jump in like out the window, like head first and hopefully
snap my neck.
How tall is your window?
Hold on.
Barely.
I'm going to I'm going to freaking single wide trailer.
I told Caleb I was when it happened on our last episode of the untrained eye, like I
was so mad that I was like ready to tear everything to the ground, salt the earth, set everything
on fire, just go to the Internet and strip the podcast and just no one can ever see it
ever again.
And I was furious.
And then DJs DJs perspective is amazing, though it was better to find out then the first five
minutes than right now finding out that, you know, it's number two.
This movie got number two in your highest rated film.
And then we would have found out then I would have just I would have been like, good night.
You have my scores and I will see you when I see you.
Oh, man.
All right.
So our new MCU ranking starting off at number.
So these are only the ones that we've scored.
This is not like in total.
And like I said, this is only like phase three and up.
So we are number one.
Yeah.
Number one is Spider-Man No Way Home, followed real close by Guardians of the Galaxy, volume
three.
Then we have Avengers Endgame.
Then Infinity War.
Black Panther Wakanda forever.
Eternals.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The first Avengers movie.
Then Black Widow.
Spider-Man Far From Home.
And that was pre you guys.
Then Black Panther.
Then Captain Marvel.
Then Spider-Man Homecoming.
Age of Ultron.
Thor Ragnarok.
Quantumania.
Love and Thunder.
And then Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Wow.
So, wait, the Ant-Man movies are now in like fighting for last place is what you're talking
about.
And Ragnarok is that far down?
Dude, I freaking rip Ragnarok a new asshole.
Wow.
Did you see Thor Love and Thunder?
Or not?
I did.
But, I mean, if this was in comparison to all these, all the other films.
Love and Thunder is second to last.
No, I mean, that's fine.
I'm talking about Ragnarok.
I think that was a really great Thor film, but I don't know.
Did you not like Ragnarok?
I hated.
Really?
I hated it.
Not totally.
Like, the Thor stuff, I guess, was fine.
I hated the Hulk stuff.
I knew it.
I fucking knew it.
I knew it.
I forgot your Hulk guy.
But listen, but listen, the lowest.
So Ant-Man and the Wasp is our lowest MCU movie and it got a C.
OK.
So, and that's like the lowest.
Even Love and Thunder got a B minus.
Wow.
All right.
Love and Thunder got a B. That's not fair.
Love and Thunder should not have got a B minus.
What's the percentage?
What's the percentage of this B minus?
80.2.
See, look, it's barely a B minus.
That's fair.
I don't care what anyone says about the percentages and them, you know, meaning shit, but they,
I think that speaks volumes.
Yeah, Love and Thunder.
I just, I don't know.
I hate.
One thing I have grown to hate in a movie is when they lean too far into the cheese.
When that movie ended with I'm love and I'm thunder and together we're going to take over
the universe like, don't don't.
Yeah.
So the biggest come back.
The biggest gap.
So between the Ant-Man and the Wasp and Love and Thunder is.
Seven percent.
And it's three percent for or between.
Yeah.
Three percent between Love and Thunder and Quantumania.
Less than one percent difference to Ragnarok.
One percent.
Two percent.
Less than one.
Three percent between Captain Marvel and Black Panther.
Less than one, less than one, less than one, still less than one.
One percent between Doctor Strange and Shang-Chi.
One percent between Shang-Chi and Eternals.
Less than one, less than one.
Two percent between Infinity War and Endgame.
And then three percent between Endgame and Guardians.
I will say that it's kind of wild to me that the.
Guardians or is yeah, Guardians is above Endgame and Infinity War like.
It's to me, it kind of says it shows like how hard it is really to take all of that,
all of those properties and bring them together and and make a, you know, a cohesive movie
where everyone gets, you know, gets their time to shine, gets what they need to get
out of it.
And it's even hard to do in what, five hours or however long those movies are combined.
Yeah.
That volume three clearly did very well.
Yeah.
Yep.
And it, like you said, well deserved here.
So anyway.
What do you got to say about that, Brucker?
Yeah.
Huh?
So that wraps up this week's breakdown.
So a big thank you and shout out to DJ and Vic for joining me on this episode.
Vic making his grand return to podcasting.
We'll see.
We'll see if it's a if it's a return.
It may just be, you know, just showing face kind of thing.
We'll see.
Well, that's bullshit.
I'm sure it's in the guest spot and still showing back up.
No, I will say this.
If I I do have a friend that has had some podcast ideas and we'll say given given recent
life events, it has sparked.
It has pushed me to, you know, kind of utilize my creative side again, or at least wanting
to.
So we'll say I'm on the cusp of like maybe actually doing that so you guys would be the
first to know what happens and how that winds up turning out.
So if I wind up podcasting again, you guys would definitely be the first to know.
So do it and you're cool.
Do it and you're cool.
Oh, man.
I don't want to be that cool.
That's too cool.
It's podcasting is a drug.
It's not done with you.
Now, you're right.
It is, man.
I remember.
Yeah, I remember when I was doing back when I was doing that and, you know, I'd be like,
you know, telling the ex, all right, going upstairs, going to record shouldn't take too
long three hours later.
Well, that went longer than I thought.
But it was a Marvel movie after all.
And she would just be like, OK, like, yeah, I would always feel bad.
She's like asleep on the couch and I'm upstairs in the bedroom, like, you know, recording
and stuff.
Well, all right.
Well, with that, would you like to tell everyone or would both of you guys like to tell everyone
where they can find you and all that you do if you do that sort of thing?
Big.
Like I said, we'll find out.
I'll find out what's going on with that.
If I'm convinced to get back into podcasting and like put in that work again, I'll definitely
be letting you guys know.
But right now, I don't have anything unless you guys just want to follow me.
Just I don't know, make me like Instagram famous or something.
I'm that I'm that nerd crash with underscores in between each word.
So that nerd crash.
Let's get that Instagram money.
And DJ.
Yes, me.
I am at untrained iPod everywhere.
I am.
I do a podcast called The Untrained Eye with my wife, Bethany.
It's very good.
You should listen to it.
It comes out semi annually.
There was no episode this week, but you know, life gets in the way sometimes.
And we are we are recording.
Just just give us a chance.
And also every I mean, super every once in a while, you can listen to me on a podcast
called Dragging the Table, which is just an insanity podcast where I go crazy all by myself.
So if you heard this and you're like those other two talk too much, I want to hear more
of this guy by himself.
Then Dragging the Table is for you.
I don't recommend it, but I can't account for anyone's taste.
All right.
Well, I will put links to everything that DJ does.
