  • 75 – Quarter Quell 3 – Movies We Wanted To Be When We Grew Up

    Each Host Brings A Film That Influenced Who They Are

    This week, we’re changing up the format for our 75th Episode Quarter Quell Special! It’s our third Quell as Fighting in The War Room, and we’re getting all nostalgic again. Katey, Da7e, David and Patches have each brought a film that they wanted to be when they grew up. Katey always wanted to be Marty McFly from Back to the Future, Da7e wishes he were Penny Marshall’s Big, David sees himself in James L. Brooks’ Broadcast News and Patches, perhaps predictably, chooses earnest love-of-teaching-music movie Mr. Holland’s Opus.

    • REVIEW – Inside Out

      Is Pixar really back?
      This week, Katey (Joy), Patches (Sadness), and David (Anger) navigate the mind of Pixar’s latest, Inside Out, to understand what makes it tick. Or just enjoy how lovely it is. Plus, a brief review of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.

    • REVIEW – Jurassic World

      Awe? No.
      This week, Katey and Patches swap out Daves for a review of Colin Trevorrow’s new Jurassic Park movie, the fourth one, Jurassic World. Will the three hosts be able to look past the groundbreaking original and enjoy this action movie that tries to comment on itself, or is this Spielberg riff to riff-y for our critics liking? Katey and Da7e seem a bit more open to what Jurassic World is throwing down than Patches, so it’s up to you: Are you going to the dinosaur park?

    • 74 – Too Many Crowdfunds, Not Enough Effort

      And isn’t Jurassic Park the best?

      This week, Katey, Patches and David have sent Da7e to Jurassic World, so they soldier on without him. Cut off from the outside, Katey wants to discuss Sundance’s The Wolfpack and the boys help her out, a mini-segment on Jurassic Park wonders if it’s perfect. Finally, in honor of Uwe Boll’s rant when his Kickstarter didn’t get funded, it’s time to re-evaluate the service’s purpose once again. This can’t be it, can it?

    • 73 – No Fighting in the Entourage

      And which host is which Game of Thrones character?

      This week – Oh YEAH (Oh Yeah (oh yeah (ohyeah))) it’s an all dude ‘cast as Patches, Da7e and David are down a Katey. It’s appropriate that this is also the week an Entourage movie comes out, so these three guys talk about why the series seems mostly hated this time around. Then, in a segment inspired by Patches’ dinner small talk, each host has to cast the FITWR line-up as Game of Thrones characters (surprisingly no one is Hodor). Finally, David wonders if wanting to see your political ideals reflected onscreen sometimes hurts cinema by throwing the baby out with the nitpicky bathwater.

    • 72 – Disaster Movies Kill Our Future

      And we round up Cannes so you don’t have to

      This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David want to take Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland bait and wonder if liking disaster cinema is feeding into a gross human part of all of us that is cynical and dying. Granted, that’s not what all four hosts believe…let’s just say someone should be ready for the zombie apocalypse. Also: Patches says that The Phantom Menace is a better movie than Return of the Jedi and in certain circles, dem’s fightin’ words. Finally: Katey, Da7e and Patches each mention one Cannes film they’re interested in and David talks about a good half dozen.

    • REVIEW – Tomorrowland

      Touch the pin.
      This week, David, Katey, and Patches are deemed Minus Ultra, and banned from the parallel universe of Tomorrowland. So they settle for the movie version, directed by Brad Bird and written by Damon Lindelof. That and answers to our Mad Men-themed lighting round question on this week’s Fighting in the War Room review episode.

    • 71 – Mad Men in Review

       

      And our favorite Mad Men quotes

      Audio Note: This week Katey had to phone it in, but does NOT phone it in. If you get our drift.

      This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David say goodbye to AMC’s Mad Men, a show we’ve spent almost a decade watching, writing about and thinking about. Which host cried during the Finale? What’s everyone’s favorite quote and why is Patches so into defending Betty as a character. If you haven’t caught up with Mad Men through the series finale “Person to Person,” you’re a bit S.O.L. on this one. But we’d like to buy you a Coke and keep you company regardless.

    • REVIEW – Mad Max: Fury Road

       

      Acca-pocalypse
      It’s a lovely, lovely day for a drive, listeners. This week Katey, Patches and David are joining the War Boys, the Doof Warrior, Immortan Joe, and of course Furiosa in a journey across the wasteland, as we review Mad Max: Fury Road. For those of you convinced David hates every blockbuster, you really might want to give this one a listen.

    • REVIEW – Avengers: Age of Ultron

      All four hosts review their seventh Marvel movie together in the regular fashion.
      It’s that time of the year again, folks: time for the newest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Avengers: Age of Ultron is a super-packed sequel sure to leave you bewildered but pleased, says Da7e. Patches got quoted in a television ad for his Esquire piece, Katey doesn’t have to worry about Thanos and THE EHRLICH – fan of the first Avengers and not a Marvel movie since – HAS HIS OPINION.
      Does Joss Whedon’s sequel deserve to be the record setting international hit it probably is by the time this episode is live?
