Episode 8: Building an iPhone, Guardians of The Galaxy 2 and colour in films

We done gone went to see Guardians 2 together in order to talk about it on our little podcast, like a proper date. It turned out great, as did one man's quest to build an iPhone and the prospect of alien life being out there, somewhere. Plus, as ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS, Tom's Good News is... good.

I don't know if we need to say this, but we recorded the episode before Zack Snyder decided to move away from Justice League under pretty brave and tough circumstances, with Joss Whedon stepping in, so when we're talking about DC just taking Marvel filmmakers, we're not being intentionally insensitive.

Thanks for listening!

You can find us on other sites at @benjionelung and @bytereview - have you ever built an iPhone? Did you like Guardians of The Galaxy 2? Do you work for Apple and want to actually sponsor Tom's reviews? He's open to it!

Thanks to Tony Thaxton for our theme!
