The South Broadway Cultural Center (1025 Broadway SE) rounds out its Spanish language Marvel superhero series with a screening of the smash hit 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy this Friday, July 1. The space-spanning action comedy screens from 2 to 4pm. Admission is free. The film will be dubbed into Spanish with English subtitles, making it perfect for Spanish speakers, English speakers and everyone inbetween. Personally, I can’t wait to hear what Bradley Cooper’s Rocket Racoon sounds like en español. For more info go to cabq.gov/south-broadway-cultural-center
