Episode 24: Funk Skull Brother

We're here this week primarily to talk about James Gunn's parting gift to the MCU: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3. But first, Brendan tells us about his recent rediscovery of BI-BEAST, one of Marvel's most batshit characters. BI-BEAST reminded Brendan why he loves comics so much, and in a way also speaks to Gunn's brilliant approach to adapting comics to the big screen. We then dig into Guardians Vol. 3, with Brendan sharing many deep cut details from the original comics along the way. Chad then shares his spoiler-free enthusiasm for two excellent sci-fi thinker films: 2007 cult classic THE MAN FROM EARTH, and 2023's THE ARTIFICE GIRL.
