This week, everyone’s back in the War Room at the same time for the final episode of 2024. Since Nickel Boys is out on the coasts, Katey, David, and Da7e dive in with a review. Each host brings their favorite TV show from 2024, then Patches leads the conversation about the Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim, in theaters now.

This week, all four co-hosts make it to the war room, but not at the same time. First, Katey, David, and Da7e break down how Awards Season is going and some hot takes on Golden Globe nominations and other award season gems. Then, David is out and Patches steps in as Da7e claims the Star Wars franchise has a problem connecting with younger kids that Disney should fix. Finally, Katey and Patches (who have children but not with each other) and Da7e (who has no children and is a cis man) talk about Nightbitch and it ends up being much more contentious a conversation than one would expect with a movie about Amy Adams turning into a dog.

This week, David had to interview someone important for another thing, but Da7e, Patches and Katey convene for the Moana 2/Conclave episode nobody asked for! First, they dig into Conclave including some SPOILER discussion at the end of the episode. Then, they each describe their “Most Disappointing” movie of 2024 before all three talk about the dodgy Moana 2.

This week, everyone but Patches was able to catch Wicked: Part One (ironically as Patches is probably the biggest Wicked fan) and both David’s are on the Women Talking war path of “this movie looks horrible” but this time joined by Katey Rich! Also, David, Patches, and Katey talk about Jessie Eisenberg’s A Real Pain (and what he could possibly have hugged David for), and Da7e sings the praises of a Region B Blu-Ray restoration of a 1999 indie movie shot on Hi-8 and 16mm.

This week, Patches is struck down by illness, but Katey was able to rally through strep and stress so David, Da7e, and Katey jump back into the safe space of the War Room to talk about Bluesky and re-orienting our phones to serve less doom. Then, Katey and David (who have seen Emilia Pérez, now on Netflix!) are saddened by the clip that went “viral.” Finally, all three hosts saw the Robbie Williams biopic where he’s a special effect monkey and…they all liked it? Adjust your hype.

Katey, Patches, David, and Da7e report from the War Room the Wednesday after Donald Trump won the popular vote and a second presidential term in the United States.

This week, everyone is back in the War Room after Jizz Fest ’24 and there are movies to discuss. First, Da7e and David have seen Venom: The Last Dance, and – ya know – it is what it is, which is a movie with Venom in it. Then, Da7e needs to warn you off Here, which is using “A.I.” but can’t focus Robert Zemeckis. Then, all four hosts get into a spoiler-free discussion of Anora as the movie expands into more theaters soon.

Happy 40th birthday, David Ehrlich.

We tried to make a podcast…

This week, David is still absent, so Katey, Patches, and Da7e talk about superhero TV with Penguin on Max and Agatha All Along on Disney Plus, then Patches wonders if we have to endorse an American political candidate before Katey and Da7e break down the surprising and kind of beautiful(?) Pharrell documentary in Lego: Piece by Piece.
