This week, David is off beginning the fall festival run, so Katey, Patches, and Da7e convene in the war room. First, Katey wants to know what a “Feel Good” movie is and how it’s different from a comfort watch. Then, all three hosts talk UNION MOVIES with Katey watching Boxcar Bertha, and Patches and Da7e sounding off on Salt of the Earth. Finally, all three hosts talk about The Eight Mountains, currently on the Criterion Channel.

This week, an expected vacation and an unexpected storm leaves only David and Da7e in the War Room for a loose, not-even-numbered episode where David reviews Blue Beetle, Da7e recommends Al-Mummia (AKA The Night of Counting the Years), there’s some talk about Love Island and then more talk about Marvel Snap.

This week, Patches is back in the War Room with Da7e and Katey! This week, Katey’s discovery of an old hard drive has the hosts debating how to deal with personal archives. Then, Katey saw Seth Rogan on screen before Turtles started and wonders why these pre-movie bumpers became a thing. Finally, Da7e and Katey saw the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles AND YOU SHOULD TOO!

This week, summer vacations and child illness strikes again, leaving the War Room just for Katey and Da7e this week. Katey took some spare time to check out Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and Da7e watched it recently, so they both sing the praises of this under-appreciated gem. Then, Katey wasn’t here last week for the Barbie review, so we circle back around to hear her thoughts. Then, Da7e goes a little more in depth with a Haunted Mansion review before both hosts wildly speculate on if the Box Office can sustain after Barbie‘s big win.

Since Twitter might have imploded and we don’t know if we’re on Bluesy or threads, just a little message from Da7e on the main feed letting you know we’ll be back next week.

This week, David and Katey are out for summer reasons, so Da7e and Matt Patches convene to discuss a variety of random topics, including big questions and mini-reviews trying not to cancel the show or each other. Da7e gives a mini-review on why he liked Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny more than other critics and both weigh in on Secret Invasion the new, low-key Marvel show on Disney Plus.
