“The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special” (** out of four) was an inconsequential spin-off of the blockbuster Marvel series about the continuing adventures of Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) and Drax (Dave Bautista) and company as they go off in search of and kidnap Kevin Bacon (playing himself!) for the holidays! Enthusiastically played by its all star-cast and original director and creator James Gunn but mostly for fans only. Sufficient enough to hold Marvel fans over for the next “Guardians” entry but pretty trivial otherwise. For Marvel fans keeping track, this is actually set between the events of “Thor: Love And Thunder” and “Guardians Vol. 3.”
