  • 112 – Brief Performances We Love

    There are no small parts, just small…whatever.

    This week, David Ehrlich takes a sudden vacation to switch jobs, so Katey, Patches and Da7e have run of the war room. After a review that asks for fewer political opinions, the group unwisely decides to talk about the Tribecca Film Festival scheduling the anti-vaccination documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe then pulling it from the schedule after public uproar. Then, Batman V. Superman made a lot of money at the box office…so just like 10 Cloverfield Lane, we have to stop and wonder what that means. Finally, Wonder Woman’s brief appearance in Dawn of Justice prompts us to talk about our favorite movie roles that don’t take up a lot of screen time.

  • Review – Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice

    God Vs. Knight. Day Vs. Night. Dust Vs. Night.
    This week, Patches, David and Da7e finally get to see Zack Snyder’s sequel to Man of Steel, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, after being aware that it was coming since 2013. What does Warner Bros’ biggest super-franchise gamble actually end up looking like? Turns out there’s some stuff to like and lots to debate before the trio digs into spoilers and tries to see if there’s any garnets amongst the silt. – SPOILER GONG at 37:10

  • 100 – The Significant Other Full Quell

    Each Host Replaced By The Person Who Puts Up With Them

    This week, we’re changing up the format for our 100th Episode Full Quell Special! It’s our fourth Quell as Fighting in The War Room (and our 2nd 100th episode as a foursome), and we’ve all stopped going it alone. It’s time to meet the significant others, the people who have put up with us podcasting multiple times a week for years and years. David’s fiancé Elisa says David’s not trolling you, Katey’s husband Michael would sometimes rather watch House Hunters, Matt Patches’ better half Michelle proves to be the saner party and Da7e’s girlfriend Java has things to say about Jane Austen adaptations.

    • 111 – Animated Animals and 10 Cloverfield Lane Allegience

      Back to the bunker.

      This week, Da7e and Patches both saw Zootopia and Da7e’s crazy animation brain got spinning on anthropomorphized animals by Disney and how being “on style” can help and hurt in 3D animation. Them, Katey’s pretty sure there’s a Divergent movie coming out an no one cares, should we care? Finally a follow up segment on the success of 10 Cloverfield Lane. There are SPOILERS, because we’re assuming you’ve seen it. Patches thinks he’s found Clover. Sheesh.

    • REVIEW – 10 Cloverfield Lane

      Monsters come in many forms. One of those is man.
      This week, Patches, Katey, and David wake up in a bunker and are told that a second Cloverfield movie exists. This time, it’s not a found footage movie about a giant monster from the ocean but a three-handed thriller between John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Gallagher Jr.
      Maybe you don’t want to know anything else. In which case, there’s a good 15 minutes of Review for you here. If you’ve seen the movie or are ready to know the secrets – SPOILER GONG at 16:32

    • 110 – Knight of Cups, The People Vs. OJ Simpson and another thing, but it isn’t set in L.A., so who cares?

      The other thing is Venom.

      This week, Patches and David kick things off with a review of Terrence Malik’s newest, Knight of Cups, because there wasn’t a review episode last Friday (Patches was stuck on a train). Then, Katey asks Da7e what’s up with Sony annoucing that they’ve rebooted the solo Venom movie, because she’s pretty sure Deadpool is involved. Then, most everyone is caught up on American Crime Story: The People Vs. OJ Simpson, except David who refuses to watch it, so the other hosts tell him why he’s wrong for Segment 3.

    • STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode 5: Eels, Scarabs and Space Bears, Oh My

      Episode VIII has begun.

      The Fighting In The War Room podcast family acknowledges that Star Wars Mania is here to stay now that Disney-purchased Lucasfilm plans to spin the saga and anthology movies out into the foreseeable future. It’s time to fight in the galactic war room for the foreseeable future! We’ll never see STAR PEACE.

      In the fifth Star Wars Special, Joanna Robinson, Matt Patches, Neil Miller and Da7e catch up on the Star Wars Universe news since they last convened in Episode 4. New York Toy Fair 2016 came and went without a bunch of Star Wars To-Do, but we did get a Force Friday 2016 announcement and a giant 16″ BB-8 that has Da7e excited. The Lego Star Wars Universe is expanding with both Resistance Rises shorts and a new Disney XD TV series, StarWars.com gave away the secrets of Rey’s portion bread and OH YEAH, EPISODE VIII: SPACE BEAR STARTED SHOOTING! Laura Dern, Benicio Del Toro and Kelly Marie Tran are added to the cast. We speculate on what that can be (SPECULATE, Episode VIII info is sparse) before jumping into the SPOILER section, which is choc-full of Rogue One goodness.

      I find your lack of SPOILER faith disturbing! – Spoiler discussion starts at 45:39

    • 108 – Do horror movies have to be really scary?

      Plus The Mermaid and a segment called “Alex Proyas: Good Director?”

      Katey has disappeared to prepare for Oscar coverage, so Da7e, Patches and David strike up another Brocast. First, With Gods of Egypt coming to theaters this week, Patches wants to ask: “Alex Proyas: good director?” Then, David catches Patches and Da7e up on China’s newest theatrical sensation The Mermaid. Finally, the trio talk about some of the backlash recently against The Witch (which we discussed last episode) and debate the semantics of “scary” when it comes to horror film.
