No one could've predicted how passionately the world would embrace Guardians of the Galaxy, with Marvel's unknown heroes becoming perhaps their most beloved sensations. But with all that love comes expectations, and many people are saying that Guardians Vol. 2 didn't meet them.

But the In Reel Deep Podcast isn't "many people"! Special guest and famed television producer Walt Schwenk joins Steve to chat about Guardians Vol. 2, the emotional rise and fall of Michael Rooker's Yondu, and how long the Marvel Studios machine can keep churning before we all lose interest.

This episode's theme is a cover of Looking Glass's "Brandy." Don’t forget to subscribe to the In Reel Deep Podcast on iTunes and Stitcher!
