Alex Bowman & Jesse Gelinas return to team-up with Earl & Shawn for Guardians of the Galaxy! They get into some of the space opera fiction they’ve seen, how to make a Hulk movie, breakout wrestlers, their thoughts on the rollicking sci-fi blockbuster, and squabble over things like Sailor Moon. And along the way, Alex conflates Jar Jar with Hitler, Jesse gets mad over Firefly, Shawn reminisces on the classic film Flesh Gordon, and Earl casts Wolverine in the next season of Orange is the New Black.
