Guardians of the Galaxy | A Marvel Cinematic Universe Rewatch

The Marvel Cinematic Universe rewatch is here! Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Kevin Mahadeo (@KevMahadeo) have launched “Everything is Super,” a new superhero and comic book focused podcast on Post Show Recaps, beginning with a full deep dive into the MCU.

For the next several weeks, Josh and Kevin will focus on a different film from the MCU, in release order. Up next: Guardians of the Galaxy, one of the very best and most important movies in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also the funniest, for sure! Josh and Kevin get into why this movie about obscure space-dwelling characters works so well and how it lays the track for future movies set in the MCU.

Coming next: Avengers: Age of Ultron. Send your feedback for the recap by no later than June 21 by e-mailing super@postshowrecaps.com.
