This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna debate the best trilogy capper of all time! They start by discussing the movie that inspired this debate: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (6:00). Then, they attempt to define what a trilogy actually is in a world of big franchises and cinematic universes (27:58). After that, they give out some category awards and go through pretrial dismissals (44:38) before finally revealing their picks for the best trilogy capper of all time (55:06)! They also read some listener submissions and choose one to add to the final poll (1:19:05).

Now it’s up to you to decide! What’s the best trilogy capper of all time? You can vote for the winner at TheRinger.com, on The Ringer’s Twitter feed, and in the Spotify app, where you’ll find Trial by Content. The winner will be announced next week!
