This week, David Ehrlich is out seeing the rest of this years big movies, but the other three dive into the War Room with gusto. Thanks to The Marvels underperforming in the theaters and the season finale of Loki season 2 on Disney Plus, it’s finally time to ask: “What’s Up With Marvel?” Then, Warner Bros tried to scrap the basically-complete movie Coyote Vs. Acme only for Hollywood to rebel and get it put back up for auction. Finally, all three dive into the newest David Fincher movie (now on Netflix) The Killer.

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

For this edition of a FITWR Quarter Quell, each host had a movie assigned to them by the three other hosts that “they wouldn’t like on paper” to investigate both how well we all know each other and if we can nudge friends into watching movies whose plot, genre, or themes seemed incongruous with other media they enjoy.

Finally, Katey, David, and Da7e dig into Martin Scorsese’s latest flick: Killers of the Flower Moon.

This week, we’re circling back to Astroid City for Segment 3, both because it’s readily available to stream and Netflix released FOUR Wes Anderson short films based off Roald Dahl stories. The group talks The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Poison, The Swan, and The Rat Catcher, then takes a break to hear from Da7e and David about this week’s new Exorcist movie, before jumping into trying to make sense of Astroid City.

Also discussed this week is what we’ve been reading (The Outsider, Honey Baby Mine, and – AHEM – TheMCUBook.com) and the episode kicks off with another Hulu sensation No One Will Save You, a sci-fi thriller with very little dialogue. We have to talk about the ending of both movies this week so BE ON ALERT FOR SPOILER GONGS if you want to skip ahead (timecodes below in the description).

The gang attempts to help a listener with documentaries in Vulture’s Movie Fantasy League, then Patches and Da7e have seen A Haunting in Venice and Katey watched Death on the Nile as we try to guess what Kenneth Branagh is doing in his Agatha Christie phase.
