Level Eleventy-Seven - A Marvel Universe Podcast (SciFi4Me Radio)

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 (2017) Written & Directed by James Gunn Marvel Studios/Walt Disney Pictures 136 minutes, rated PG-13 In this special episode of Level Eleventy-Seven, we take a spoiler-ish look at the latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (with a few digressions along the way, of course...). From Groot's greatness (and not so greatness) to Yondu's arc, from the wild "Hey, that's...!" beginning to the climactic battle between the stars, Vol. 2 has all the pieces that make a Marvel film ... a Marvel film. It's got humor, pathos, family issues — more than just Peter and his father — great character moments, and Groot. Plus, plenty of possible setups for the next chapter, as Vol. 3 will be James Gunn's swan song (at least for now). What pieces of this story will inform the last installment in the first trilogy? Will it be... nope, you gotta listen. The panel: Maia Ades, Mindy Inlow, Sam Sentman, Dan Handley, Jason Hunt
