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

This week, Patches and Katey had better things to do than see if Marvel Studios can rebound in theaters during a Comic-Con Weekend. David and Da7e face off against each other in the war room as Da7e pulls the saddest David into his timeline to talk about David’s Phase 4 and Phase 5 Marvel reviews before jumping into a discussion of Deadpool & Wolverine. The spoilers start spilling after the SPOILER GONG AT 44:59!

This week, Patches is out gallivanting, so Da7e and David try to invest Katey in the idea of Longlegs before getting to question her about the recently released Emmy nominations (yes, the Emmys are back again!). Finally, they all talk about Twisters, Lee Isaac Chung’s sequel to the 1996 tornado chasing movie.

This week, Da7e and Katey took in A Quiet Place: Day One in theaters and were pleasantly surprised. Katey took her kids to Despicable Me 4 and David took his kid to Inside Out 2, did either of these movies play better to the younger crowd? Finally, the dudes took in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix and Katey watched the original Beverly Hills Cop on Netflix, so let’s talk about this very odd sequel.

This week, Da7e and David kick off the podcast trying to describe Yorgos Lanthimos newest Emma Stone movie (now with Jesse Plemons!), Kinds of Kindness, in theaters this weekend.

This week, David is back and he’s taken up the cause of the animated series Scavengers Reign, so he and Patches make the case why this show should get a second life on Netflix after being cancelled by Max. There’s a new Legend of Zelda game called Echoes of Wisdom coming out in September! Are Katey’s kids, Patches, and Da7e ready for the first Zelda-lead installment? Finally, everyone saw Inside Out 2 and some hosts liked it more than others.

This week, we lost David again as the remaining co-hosts dive into some new business developments around Hollywood. Sony has bought the Alamo Drafthouse theater chain (vertical integration, here we come!) and no one has bought Paramount yet – what’s happening!?! Then, Patches and Da7e try to describe what’s happening on Disney Plus with The Acolyte before Katey jumps in the fray and they all talk about Hit Man the new Richard Linklater movie that is now on Netflix – SPOILERS for Hit Man begin at 53 minutes in – go see, or stream, the movie!

It’s another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell! 

For this edition of a FITWR Quarter Quell, each host brings a movie they think belongs in the “Elder Millennial Canon” of films. After a brief discussion of what that could possibly mean and a clarification that each movie needs at least three “yay” votes to qualify, the hosts jump in on Bring it On, Napoleon Dynamite, Marie Antoinette, and (500) Days of Summer.

Previous Quarter Quells:

This week, David is back from the Cannes Film Festival and is ready to report back to the podcast (From Megalopolis to Anora)! Also, Katey has seen Season 2 of Loot on Apple TV Plus and deemed it a worthy sitcom. Finally, all four hosts dig into Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga after this weekend’s low-grossing Memorial Day Box Office seems to say people aren’t ready to go to theaters for big R-rated blockbusters quite yet (lookout Deadpool?).

This week, Katey returns from The Ankler’s Los Angeles to re-focus Patches and Da7e in the War Room while David keeps Cannes-ing. She only has mild success as the podcast transforms a “what we’re watching” segment into one about Disney’s “Star Wars Hotel” and the 4-hour takedown video about it. Then, Patches guides us through Google’s new AI search that seems bad for everyone, especially the internet. Finally, Katey and Da7e talk I Saw The TV Glow and how it’s a pretty great movie for people of our age group.

This week, Patches and Da7e have been left alone again, so they invite returning guest Jordan Hoffman back onto the show for a free-form discussion about recasting Gilligan’s Island, Starcrash and torrent ethics, Unfrosted again, cereals (and hot cereals), Blue Angels and Deep Sky in IMAX, solar flares and go bags, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (with a spoiler section!), how to stay awake in screenings, and bad things in food. Most importantly, they do not cancel the podcast.
