Comfort Films 21: Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2

Comfort Films 21: Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2

In this episode, we dip our toe into comic book movies and talk about our two favorites from the Marvel universe so far, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2. We discuss the amazing soundtrack and visuals of the movies, as well as the important themes around family (which you knew Vin Diesel had to get in on, even if it's just by saying "I am Groot" in 783 different ways).  We also talk about James Gunn's fantastic writing and direction and how he paddles around the same pool quite successfully in the awesome HBO series Peacemaker, which recently wrapped its first season.
