FITWR Volume 2 episodes

February 17, 2016 107 – Opinions from people some sarcastically call “Journalists”
The Witch, Deadpool’s success, and a Listener-prompted segment!
Absent a Patches, Katey, Da7e and enemy of Fox news David Ehrlich are free to hear David’s thoughts on A24’s first wide release The Witch that comes out this Friday and discuss with Da7e how Deadpool could have become such a massive financial hit. Then, a comment on the Fighting In the War Room website requests the gang review what it’s like to try and be a critic these days, which leads to much reminiscing about how the three hosts got here in the first place.

February 10, 2016 106 – Commercials Between Violent Spectacle and Deadpool
And the Best Picture Oscar is still up for grabs.
This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David all watched the Broncos from Da7e’s home state of Colorado defeat the Carolina Panthers but were pretty disappointed in the way that 2016’s upcoming blockbuster movies were advertised, except for David, who liked the Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice Ads. Plus, David and Patches have seen Deadpool and give the film a mini-review, then Katey updates us on why the Best Picture Oscar is still anyone’s game.

February 03, 2016 105 – Should “Carhoooooooool!” Our Werewolf/Carol Mash-Up Movie Be Shot On Film or Digital?
Ya-The-Wan-Tha-I-Whant. Hoo. Hoo. Hoo. Honey
This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David are all reunited in the War Room to discuss Fox’s Grease: Live! and how it changed the game as far as broadcast live musicals go. Then, because Pride, Prejudice and Zombies is finally coming out, the gang wonders how Seth Grahame-Smith happened. Finally, when Colin Trevorrow announced at Sundance that he would be shooting Star Wars: Episode IX on film and made a little joke, Da7e got super mad about it. Now he has to tell everyone why big blockbusters should be shot digitally, and Katey is with him! A rare Patches/David team-up ensues.

David and Patches are in Park City, Utah

As per usual, we have a dispatch from the festival as the main segment on this episode. Meanwhile, back in the rest of the world, Katey and Da7e talk about the Academy’s new attempts to diversify in the face of racial backlash and Da7e will attempt to communicate how excited he is about The X-Files.

January 23, 2016 REVIEW – The Revenant
It sure was hard to make
This week, Katey, Patches, and David review The Revenant—the perfect blizzard listening. Do they seek revenge against one another or all curl up inside a dead horse? That, and a bunch of other nonsense.

January 20, 2016 103 – 10 True Crime Lane
10 Cloverfield Lane and the state of True Crime
This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e discuss what the new Bad Robot surprise movie 10 Cloverfield Lane could be about, if it relates to the previous surprise movie with Cloverfield in the title and what Katey thought about it since we finally made her watch it. Then, a short mini segment casting a male Marisa Tomei in a fictional gender swapper reboot of My Cousin Vinny before Da7e wants to talk about Making a Murderer and that spins into more Serial and The People Vs. Oj Simpson, Ryan Murphey’s upcoming series. All that plus a lightning round question as always!

January 14, 2016 STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode 4: Tell That to Kanjiklub

What we've learned about the universe since The Force Awakens
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 fourth Star Wars Special, Joanna Robinson, Neil Miller and Da7e start by digging into the various nuggets cast, crew, novelizations and screenplays have bestowed upon how we view The Force Awakens. Then, after a brief discussion on if Star Wars can overtake Avatar at the global box office (and an aside about HBO's Girls for some reason), the team dig deep into what we know about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the Han Solo anthology movie. Each host begrugingly picks an actor off the short list to play Han and Da7e tries to convince the other hosts that this may not be horrible. Finally, Da7e vomits up absolutely everything he's heard about Rogue One, just for good measure.
Then, the conversation devolves into everyone asking specific questions about The Force Awakens with each other. You know, the thing you and your friends have been doing since you saw the movie anyway.
I find your lack of SPOILER faith disturbing! – Spoiler discussion starts at 22:40

January 13, 2016 102 – Sugar Tits and Mourning David Bowie
R.I.P. David Bowie
This week, Katey, Patches and Da7e have recovered David to give their reactions to the 73rd Annual Golden Globes, the maybe-doesn’t-matter awards presentation put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press. Also, Katey is wondering if maybe the dumping ground of January has shortened itself and all four hosts mourn the passing of David Bowie.
