Show Notes Chapter Markers

Are we ready for the first ever theatrical Marvel movie?!  Howard the Duck somehow broke barriers in 1986, infamously produced by George Lucas.  Since he's frequently featured in Guardians of the Galaxy films, let's go all the way back to one of the worst reviewed movies.... ever.

On Keep or Cancel , we're quickly covering Lea Thompson, Tim Robbins, and Jeffrey Jones.
