2 Fast 2 Forever #425 – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

by CageClub Podcast Network · Published September 16, 2025 · Updated September 11, 2025

We welcome back our in-house MCU experts, Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse, to talk about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2! Will it hold up in an era of superhero burnout? Will Nico and Kevo like it more than they did when they covered it for mcu.html? We find out! After Nico takes James Gunn down a peg, we compare this Guardians film to Superman (2025), talk about the issues with Yondu redemption, and compare the Fast Family to the Guardians with regards to how they approach working together (and being a found family). We ask for insights about Planet X. Nico compares this movie to Final Fantasy VIII. Kevo explains the problem with Adam Warlock. There’s lots of Fleetwood Mac talk, for some reason. Nico points out the vehicality of this film.
