Hey guys! Some of you may have seen this already, but Matt has been doing some behind the scenes stuff on his channel. Feel free to check it out!

Matt should watch TASM tbh
Holden Hardman yeah! Excited to see this one. Will see it when the kid is asleep 💪🏼
Holden Hardman how about my friend watches Jurassic parka for the first time
When i saw the title I was excited
You should watch the Netflix superhero series called raising Dion it only has 9 episodes
Matt likes a movie? Thanos: "Impossible."
They say every time Matt watches a movie the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.
that's the power behind GOTG, it got everyone to change their mind on it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Though he hated winter soldier, so...
"Perfectly balanced, as all things should be"
The MCU fandom: I am Inevitable
The whole scene with Rocket crying about being a monster is the most devastating part of these movies to me.
Me too man.
I prefer the subtle moment from the end of Vol. 2 when Rocket says "He didn't chase them away. Even though he yelled at them. And was always mean. And he stole batteries he didn't need." And the look on Peter's face when he realizes that Rocket is talking about himself rather than Yondu. Fucks me up every time.
Redeemable part of Vol.2 is rocket
@@Superdm64 vol 2 is fucking great
@@Superdm64 vol 2 will always be superior
*Matt likes the movie
Me: "No, don't do that, Don't give me hope. "
Renz Sobrevilla oooooohhh I see what you did there
😂😂🤣😂
I hope this gets top comment 😂😂
The Wanderer lol
I'm sorry he couldn't give it sooner.
It is funny how “this looks like Star Wars” is used as a negative, instead of a positive. Lol.
Being related to space and spaceships doesn't mean it's Star Wars.
@@e-junbae4111 he has been living under a rock lmao 😂 but no Holden gave an explanation in a video about why Matt hasn't seen any of these
@@e-junbae4111 Literaly anything else lol. Life isnt only about star wars wtf. I love marvel so much but it isnt everything
@@e-junbae4111 Yeah I agree about that but you said what does he spend his life doing as if there isnt anything else lol. Maybe you meant it as a figure of speech still It sounded kinda cringe
@@e-junbae4111 i mean its frankly nobodies business. you care too much about what other people think of the pretend things you are obsessed with. you give nerd culture a bad rap. gatekeeping pricks who think their way is the only way.
Groot actually did die...what’s growing is “his son”. MCU creators have confirmed this and it makes sense since when you take roots of a plant and plant them you are call it “its son”...at least we do in Puerto Rico.
The movie itself didn’t make it clear but I prefer that unlike most people it feels.
Yes indeed ! He is a descendant not him again and you will see what in the rest of the movies
🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
@Arigato Senpai he has to start over
Yup, Holden missed an opportunity to tell Matt about the first major permanent MCU death here. Dropped the ball there!
Great Video! Can’t believe Matt cried, homeboy is now invested in the MCU.
Matt is good.
I have spoken.
Yes sir 😤
Wait wait wait.....idk if I’d go that far.....maybe.....I....maybe I’m getting invested lol
@@MattLaneFitness HA !
@@MattLaneFitness Yes you are! Haha!
By the time he reaches endgame, he's getting a tattoo.
Yash Salve LOL
Yash Salve 🙃🙃🙃🤣
@@MattLaneFitness ooo, look who's here
I think this proves Matt is most receptive when you don't tell him about the movie. As soon as he hears something good or bad about it, something in his subconscious that makes him want to try and disapprove it by either looking for the good in a disliked movie, or looking for the bad in a beloved movie. When he goes in blind, he acknowledges both and ends up with conflicted feelings like with this one. In other words, Matt is the biggest hipster and he doesn't even know it
Liam Thompson Yep👍
Liam Thompson I also agree
That just shows he's a contrarian. Which is really annoying. Afraid to agree with popular opinion.
@@Gnossiene369 No, people are bad when they CHOOSE to not agree with people just for no other reason than to just go against the popular opinion, not because it's their actual opinion. That's what a contrarian is, which is stupid.
@@SoNotBruceWayne I'd disagree that he's a contrarian, just very naturally skeptical and critical. One could say cynical, even, but I don't know about that.
Matt teared up!!! 😢 He is now emotionally invested! I said from the last movie forward things will be different for him lol
Prime Addonexus chicken nuggets
Prediction: when Matt sees civil war he is going to say "that should have been called Avengers: civil war
@@HydraTower more like Avengers 2.5
@@HydraTower Avengers 2.5*
I get why people say that but for me it is Captain America’s story. He is at the front and centre of it
Well yes not wrong. But the scale isn't large enough I think to be called an avengers film.
I think Civil War is where we start to turn Matt into an MCU fan.
Technically Groot did die, and a different one is growing back. But I'm glad you liked it.
That's what I came here looking to find. It's also funny watching Holden holding back every time Matt says that no one ever really dies.
That's exactly what I came to comment because I always hear 'no one dies,' and even when people inevitably list off the characters who actually remain dead, Groot's sacrifice is often forgotten. Groot 100% dies - it's his offspring that grows back.
I'm surprised Matt didn't mention the moment Quill's mom called him "Star Lord" at the end of the movie. Matt clearly had a strong reaction to that when it happened, because it gave an emotional basis to what we previously assumed was just an over-the-top, self-aggrandizing title he gave himself. He actually had a strong bond to the moniker because his mom gave it to him :'-(
Seeing Matt cry over Groot made my week
Wait till he sees infinity war
1966bluemax da fuck is yo problen

“Holden Hardman upload....” My brain instantly says is Kevin hart’s voice, “Soooo excited!”
For real! His content is the only thing Im waiting to show up in my notifications.
Haha me to i was excited for this one
@@kirkreviews7774 honestly same, it's entertaining
“Comedy can pull me out of what I dislike”
He *is* wearing a Office shirt.
Daniel Vincent precisely.
but never seen Parks and Recreation? doesn't compute.
Very late to this, but I think he meant pull me out of the movie being bad, changing his view on it
It's really important to me that he knows Groot did die in this movie. The director of the movie himself has cleared that up. Baby Groot is a new entity. Groot was one of the major permanent deaths we got, and Baby Groot is an entirely new character.
Indeed he is the son of Groot.
I didn't know that. Thanks for this information.
Love the series, can’t wait for infinity war.
My prediction is he will like end game, civil war, and age of ultron.
@@Michiel-zs2qj maybe, I kinda liked it though not gonna lie. It wasn't the best but it wasn't ass either
@@Michiel-zs2qj It really isn't when you think about it. No one just understood it at the time. Look at how many different things it teased. After looking back at it, i'd honestly put it above avengers 1.
SecretChiley Age of Ultron is just not that good. Even Endgame is quite a bit better than it.
spaghetti Minelli yesss
If Matt gives this anything above a 7 I’m cracking out the Champagne

What really hit me hard in this movie was when Quill read the letter in the end, and we realize that his "superhero name" is actually what his mom used to call him back in the day.

Cannot wait for Matt and Jenna’s reaction to the upcoming MCU movies.
Woo almost halfway there!
Once we're past Age of Ultron I think we're at a point where there are no bad movies left. Some are better than others of course, but they're all at least good in my opinion
Keanine ooo idk about captain marvel.. tbh i think it will be wayyy too slow for matt and jenna...
Hhmm... You forgot to check off Age of Ultron. (They said in a live stream they already recorded both GOTG and AOU.
He's gonna hate Age of Ultron
2:49 Matt's opinion is often disappointing....but this does put a smile on my face :)
Dude he did it so perfectly too with his wide ass eyes it was funny af
Matt: actually enjoys the movie
*No that's not true, that's impossible!!*

Wow thank you for making this list. Keep up the good work!
Why is Matt singing to Holden so great and relatable and why do I need to watch it several times?
Well lets see what he says this time!
Edit: HE LIKED IT! WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!
Lethal Bacon lol
its guardians I think it has enough heart to win over a lot of ppl who would dislike most of the other MCU films.
Huh. I actually 100% agree with Matt’s review and criticisms on this one. The great moments are great and the slow moments can be slow at times. But overall solid
Bryant Barry yes yes yes! So agree!
I disagree about the middle having pacing issues and about it being horrible. I love the prison scenes and how they didnt like each other at first
I think they were really banking on the character interactions to be entertaining enough to occupy us during the slower scenes. It kinda worked on me but I do recognise the flaw.
I like the slow times too tho, they were effective character building moments
“We are Groot.” My faith in Matt’s heart is reaffirmed. I fully expected him to like Drax, figured he would appreciate Rocket. I really enjoy GotG, but find myself agreeing with Matt’s review wholeheartedly. It’s been a joy figuring Matt out throughout this. And SERIOUSLY, he has to watch Footloose
Show him Train to Busan. I think he’ll like the psychology of how people act under extreme pressure
I concur.
My man Matt wearing a Dunder Mifflin shirt. Let’s go!
He should have worn a Michael Scott paper company shirt
SkyNerdGames I mean, you can’t go wrong with Dunder Mifflin tho
Well the director used to be married to Pam, it all makes sense :P
I think you mean, “homeboy wearing a Dunder Mifflin shirt.”
Kevin Pratt I’ve watched The Office three times, and I am just discovering now that James Gunn and Jenna Fisher we’re married.
One of the best times at theater I've ever had!
Also, Groot is dead. This is, essentially, Groot's son.
I want to be as comfy as Jenna looks in every video 😂😂
There was a meme running about when this came out.
DC: Wonder Woman is a complicated character to explain, it will be difficult to bring her in.
Marvel: LOL here's a raccoon with a machine gun.
the racoon with the machine gun had more character and development than Batfleck himself😂😂
@@SmoovyNovaFan mmm not really
@@lfnreviews While Ben Affleck did a good job acting and the DC movies had good moments if viewed as small clips, the overall writing and that Batman are such tosh
@@Rhodair I'm talking about character development though
@@lfnreviews Oh, me too. Rocket has far more of an arc imo. He goes from such low self esteem where he'd only really connected with Groot prior to Groot's death in GotG1. He's on the team in 2 but unconsciously pushing everyone away and being completely self destructive. That going to his moments with Yandu to eventually allowing himself to be accepted and belong somewhere.
Batfleck didn't grow much imo. Of course, there's the notorious Martha scene where he flips on a dime. I could see an argument being made that he learns to be more a team-player, but he'd already had Robin and others before. To me, it came across like forming JL was purely because the threat was too much for him alone and was his only option. I like the concepts, but they were written and executed so poorly.
This is my favorite MCU movie. Its halerious, it is one of the movies that Marvel gave the most creative control to the Director, And it is emotional when it needs to
Oh I hope he likes this. This is the time when people start to get invested 🤞
Start?! 10 movies in?! lol
@@DanielWatches when I said people, let's just say I meant people who never watch movies and are called Matt
@@DanielWatches bruh you realize theres a whole over arching universe with multiple important protagonist so yeah 10 movies in makes sense
The best comedy line in this movie is when Peter says, "If I had a black light, this place would look like a Jackson Pollock painting."
About Star Wars:
“You gotta give that up”
“It’s the TRUTH! It’s why we got here”
If Matt loves Drax, just wait until Guardian 2 and especially Infinity War 🤣
He will hate drax and what he became. Dont wanna spoil it cause he reads the comments
Honestly I was so disappointed they reduced Drax to being comedy relief in Vol.2 and Infinity War. Forgot how well written he was here
@@zserbs2326 Ikr, mantis is also the comic relief as well
@@zserbs2326 great, u spoiled it haha
Age of Ultron was when I realized how big these films where when I went opening night. And grown men where dressed in costumes, and I was sitting there wondering if I was going to be shot. Because of the whole dark knight fiasco in the theaters a few years back
Lol I remember those days, i live in Cali and I was in Louisiana at the the time.
After Endgame he is gonna be a Marvel Fan :D
This aged well
@@hawkeyefan3062 Yes. It did.

High on believing?
That you're in love with...me?
You know I never thought I’d be excited to see a reaction to something but you know, it’s interesting to see fresh eyed reactions to something many of us hold so dear. Even if they’re WRONG. Jk I love Matt
These reactions are cool and all but nothing beats the hype of waiting months for the next mcu instalment,the theories everyone has, asking questions and building up anticipation for what's to come, watching and breaking down trailers,leaks,tv spots, released clips and special looks, reading early reviews and then the theater experience..OH MY GOODNESS THE THEATER EXPERIENCES were just amazing, avengers, civil war, infinity war,black panther, Ragnarok, homecoming, infinity war and endgame were all just an adrenaline acid trip, then the mid and post credit scenes as well as the discussions you get with friends the weeks after that is just icing on an already fantastic cake.
Thanks for doing these videos Holden, Matt and Jenna. I really look forward to each one and holy crap I can't wait until ya'll get to the awesomeness that is Phase 3!
"I never saw Parks and Recurations"

Love the series! Keep it going! 👌
I look forward to these videos as much as I look forward to a new weekly ep of a tv show. you guys both rock
Loving these viewings and analysis! I follow quite a few channels, and you guys are definitely in my Top 3 must view videos every time they drop! Thank you for all the hard work! Can’t wait for more!

I'm glad Holden shares my sentiment that Guardians 2 is better. A lot more people seem to rip on it and I'd say that's probably due to it being more wacky than the 1st, but IMO that's a good thing. Oh and btw Matt, if you read this: Groot does die in this movie. The new baby version is a completely new Groot. So you're half right saying that he came back to life.
Per usual keep up the great content guys!
Guardians one is leagues better... funnier, better pacing, more genuine... everything
I agree that guardians 2 is better, I think has more heart and emotion, while still keeping the comedic side intact and i think it was a lot more darker than the 1st. but still love both movies
The first one is better by a little bit. In the end, they both have Groot.
I love both movies damn near equally. But the “Dad celestial” concept in the second movie is corny lol. Two is definitely funnier
I think that GotG 2 is better because of a third act, which was just perfect.
You are honestly helping me get through this quarantine... these videos cheer me up, make me laugh and I love them thank you Holden you certainly deserve to be your own hero in the MCU!
I get so much joy watching these. It is also nice to find Matt's Fitness channel too.
Yes, this is one of my favorite movies of the mcu
Someone needs to show Matt ‘watch out here comes out my arrow’

It has been a real pleasure watching these videos. I look forward to doing this same thing with my son when he gets a bit older. Sharing something you love with another person is a real treat.
Just found this series/channel yesterday and haven't stopped watching since. Top Tier RUclipsr. Can't wait for Endgame and beyond. I believe you've made a nerd out of him.
GOTG is my favorite movie in the MCU, and one of my favorite movies of all time...so I'm nervous about Matt's thoughts on this masterpiece
EDIT: I'm so glad that Matt enjoyed this movie!!!
The Guardians movies are one of my favs I’m so glad Matt liked it. Can’t wait for more!!
Thank you for editing so quick!
I've been loving this series, I can't remember the last time I anxiously awaited each new video from a RUclips channel.
Yaaaaaas, my personal Marvel Universe favorites.
Love this channel so much I hope you guys keep doing these types of videos
Matt and Jenna I totally get your medical views, my wife is also an RN and she points these things out all the time.
Really happy you guys enjoyed this one, it was an emotional experience in theaters.
Every time I see an episode of this series posted I click. Its very simple. Love the vids keep em coming
When I saw Matt wiping at his eyes, I was like... daaaaamn! I knew he'd at the very least like the movie when I saw that. Also hell yeah, Drax is the best! He's even funnier in the second movie.
Keep up the hard work you guys y'all are one of the very few movie reaction channels I actually enjoy because you have decent breakdowns at the end and actually go into depth about why you do and don't like things most channels just give a rating
Thanks for the vid. GOTG 1 & 2 are by far my favorite films in the entire MCU.
Sharing them with my wife actually got her interested in watching the other Marvel movies. 👍
Enjoying the videos. I get excited when a new one drops.
Matt you’re hooked, you’re officially a Marvel nerd if you’re crying over Groot! I’m happy you enjoyed it, Guardians is a hard one not to laugh/appreciate in some way.
Matt: Likes Guardians of the Galaxy
*Everyone liked that*
It's been 9 months...HOW DOESNT THIS HAVE ANY REPLY!?!?!?
Loved the shirt matt! and glad you liked the movie, love ya holden!
This one was very good, one of the best episodes. But yes, the voice of Jenna is really important, Matt is funny and Holden is the middle point, the stabilization. I would watch you talking about other topics, pop culture in general, in some format, maybe with a little bit of postproduction. Anyway, great job, I'm happy I subscribed, looking for the next ;)
Since Matt likes Drax he’ll be disappointed when he finds out that Drax isn’t in Infinity War
Drax is in Infinity War, what are you talking about? The "why is Gamora" line is from Infinity War lol. Do you mean Endgame?

Love the videos guys. Keep doing you!
I haven’t left this comment in a while, so here it is again. You guys are amazing! You have really great chemistry and your breakdowns of these movies are so entertaining to listen to! Keep up the great work!

Star Lord: There’s a legend about you people called foot loose
Matt: I’ve NevEr SeEn FooTloOsE
Holden’s face: I didn’t expect anything less
What? But foot loose is the best movie of all time except when it never was
Haven’t seen it yet , this’ll remind him heavily of Star Wars but overall the fun factor in it will win him over hopefully!
I don't get why people utomatically associates Guardians of the Galaxy with Star Wars. They are very different tonally, in structures, in themes, in messages, in the way they handle he drama, in the seriousness... The only similar thing between the two is they are set in space and has a character that is an egotistical thief.
John Elmar yes but this is Matt we’re talking about. He said that even Thor reminded him of Star Wars
Loving the near daily uploads, keep it up as long as you can you champ
These are seriously the highlight of my week!
If there is one movie that GOTG is NOT at all like, it’s Star Wars.
I loke him talking aboat medical stuff and how its portraid im movies. As a truckdriver im pretty sick of a flat tyre resulting in an explosion.
i love these Marvel movie videos you do with your friends. Keep them coming more often cant get enough
I loved this keep it up, definitely invested in this channel. Time to join patron!
Matt: enjoys film
Me: impossible
Avengers Age of Ultron is incredibly underrated, and i think Matt will like it when he sees it. It has so many heartfelt and moments of character development between the avengers and even though the first Avengers movie is a landmark in movie history, i think objectively Age of Ultron is the better movie.
Let the downvotes come.
Agreed. I'm rewatching the MCU movies starting with Captain America: The First Avenger and I'd give the first Avengers and Age of Ultron a similiar rating and I love them both. I personally think Endgame is the weakest Avengers movie as a whole.
The Avengers: 8/10
Age of Ultron: 8/10
Infinity War: 10/10
Ensdgame: 6/10
Great videos! It looks like you making some new true believers Holden. The deeper you get into the MCU the more Matt and Jenny are embracing, loving this #1 franchise.
Hey guys, I'm new to this channel but I've really enjoyed this series with you Holden, Matt and Jenna on first time watching films. As a fan of most of the films, I've appreciated the reactions and the dialogue about each one. After the MCU, I suggest another series like The Hunger Games or some other epic film series. Keep up the good work. I've subscribed to both channels. Nice job.
Actually, Groot died. The new Groot growing is like "his son"
More like their son now lol
That's so weird to think about I've never thought about it
I literally took a break from a movie I’m watching a movie to watch this movie
I’ve been rewatching these “my friend watches” videos in order and Holden it’s cool seeing Matt evolve with the movies, seems way more open minded!!
Liked the vid before watching. Now can't wait to see the reaction as always! Glad that Jenna is included haha.
Matt: nobody ever dies.
Endgame: Are you sure about that
Wow I was just gonna see some John Cena kissing videos
Guardians two guardians one
I think matts gonna call this cool star wars. I havent watched yet btw
Awesome video, keep it up I really enjoy watching these! Even though Matt’s opinions are nuts it’s still super fun to watch!🤙
This was the movie i was most confident Matt would like, and i'm glad he enjoyed it. The chemistry you three have makes these videos so much better. Matt singing right in Holden's face during the title sequence was great.

This and Winter Soldier always bring me back to loving the MCU they’re so different and kinda show the range of the universe and how well done these movies are the characters
