Failed Critics

Where does a pirate keep his buccaneers? Apparently on the bucking Failed Critics Podcast this week, as Steve Norman and Owen Hughes are joined by both Andrew Brooker and Brian Plank for some jolly rogering - and to talk about Marvel's latest space adventure movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2! We've got a full spoiler-free review of James Gunn's second feature in the MCU, starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Kurt Russell and many more besides. As if that wasn't enough, we even dredged up our own stinger with a post-credits Spoiler Alert section where we'll plunder all the booty that we can from this madcap adventure through the galaxy. The quiz kicks things off and reaches a disappointing climax before Brooker turns his attentions to the swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean franchise for What We've Been Watching, swiftly followed by Brian's review of the nautical TV show Black Sails. Elsewhere, Owen turns his attentions to the classic Western, Shane; and Steve is enraptured by Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners.
