Fighting In The War Room: A Movies And Pop Culture Podcast

This week, everyone is back in the war room so Da7e can go on vacation this weekend. First, everyone politely let’s Da7e refer to his notes on why The Social Reckoning isn’t just bad drama, but nobody should actually see it if they want to understand anything about humans, let alone Facebook or America. Then, Katey and David fill in the other two guys about what’s been going between Kelly Clarkson and the (Magic?) store Art of Play in Brooklyn. Finally, the Amazon Studios movie Love of Your Life is flitting in and out of theaters before going streaming which seems like a shame as the movie might deserve to be seen a little bit more

This week, Da7e was in a theater seeing Wild Horse Nine, but your other three hosts made it to the podcast despite being very sleepy! First, it’s time to talk about this past weekend’s domestic box office winner Verity with Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett and Anne Hathaway. Then, David hasn’t played Zero Company (last week’s episode) but has played Star Wars: Galactic Racer and reports back on the new racing game. Finally: Digger. The final movie released in theaters by an independent Warner Bros studio bombed, let’s talk about it.

This week, David is the one who can’t make the podcast, so Katey and Patches tell Da7e about the new Mahershala Ali hitman movie Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother (it’s not out in Denver yet so Da7e literally can’t see it). Then, Patches has been playing Star Wars: Zero Company and Da7e is deep into the lore and bond farming. Then, Katey and Da7e weigh in on Primetime, a very sweaty very intense Rob Pattinson performance in a movie about 2006’s To Catch A Predator. Next week, we expect to go digging, just not this episode!

This week, Da7e can’t make the podcast because of cinema, so your other three hosts convene to talk about the Zach Cregger horror-comedy that’s gnawing on the American Box Office this week. But, before that, a check in with Matt Patches who has some thoughts about movies and nudes (separate topics) after coming home from France, and some more catch up if you haven’t joined the Fitwarriors in the Vulture Movie League quite yet.

Katey and David are home from TIFF with a not-numbered episode of the podcast where they discuss festival and family woes, getting screeners for festival movies versus seeing them in a theater, and the newest buzzy festival movies like The Debut,Elsinore, Possible Love, and Everytime. They also weigh in on Wild Horse Nine, Ink, and the strange, ongoing festival phenomenon of movies arriving with huge expectations and leaving with even bigger questions.

This week, the podcast has its four hosts again, at least for one segment on the first three episodes of HBO’s Lanterns. Then, after David has to run, Da7e tries to explain the new movie Onslaught to Katey and Patches, then all three remaining hosts review Coyote Vs. Acme, a movie they actually got to see in theaters despite what we thought would happen when Warner Bros decided not to release it.

Then, Patches and Da7e debate just how big this game is going to be come November. Then, Katey has a sophisticate question for us about our bed-making habits. Finally, Furious is a show on Hulu where Emmy Rossum plays a traumatized FBI Agent tracking a female serial killer – did your hosts like it? The final episode of Season 1 debuts next week.

This week, we assure you David Ehrlich is returning to this podcast. In a return to some sort of format, you left reviews and sent e-mails but it still takes Katey, Patches, and Da7e a good 20 minutes to get started this week. When they do, Katey and Da7e weigh in on the perfectly cromulent Tony, Da7e wonders what (if anything) his cohosts think of the new X-Men Disney announced at their Disney convention, then Katey fills in the boys on the newest Amblin-throwback dinosaur movie in theaters – The End of Oak Street. Patches sneaks in a stealth Paw Patrol segment.

This week, David can’t make it, but we have three hosts and three movies to review. First, Patches and Da7e dig into the Netflix sci-fi trapped-in-your-house movie The Last House (Spoilers!). then, Patches and Da7e revive some Republic City Dispatch talk to discuss Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, a movie streaming on Paramount Plus. Then, Katey rejoins the podcast to discuss Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma with Da7e. What are we, a movie podcast?

This week, whoops, there’s a new biggest movie in theaters and this one is setting records. Matt Patches and Katey Rich were unable to catch Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theaters, but Katey shows up to referee a discussion between Davids, one Ehrlich who did not like Brand New Day as much as one Da7e who thought it’s a new kind of Spider-Man installment that points towards some good tidings in Marvel’s immediate future. Will they return next week with a single topic show? Not intentionally, but don’t count us out.
