  • Review – The Hateful Eight 70mm Roadshow

    Nobody wins.
    This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and Joanna all traveled to real theaters to see an Ultra Panavision 70 movie shot and projected on honest-to-God celluloid: The Hateful Eight 70mm Roadshow.  Quentin Tarantino’s latest is a Western potboiler in two acts with a bunch of characters who are trapped together in a snowstorm inside Minnie’s Haberdashery. Join our hosts as they debate if this movie is actually about anything and if the lush projection added or detracted from the dialogue-heavy film.

  • 101 – Catching Up with Elf Stones, American Idiots

    With returning host Joanna Robinson!

    This week, Katey, Patches and Da7e have swapped out a David for often requested podcast co-host Joanna Robinson!

    First, Patches and Joanna discuss MTV’s new (and crazy sounding) fantasy adaptation, The Shannara Chronicles. Is the duo sold on the concept? Can they convince Da7e or Katey to tune in? Then, Patches wants everyone’s opinion on Green Day’s concept album American Idiot which he rediscovered over the holiday. Finally, what DID everyone do over the holiday anyway? Answers range from the expected books, television and then into the more unexpected.

  • STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode 3: Attack of the Awakening!

    An All FORCE AWAKENS Episode

    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.

    In the third Star Wars Special, Katey Rich, Joanna Robinson, Neil Miller and Da7e question Matt Patches about his attempt to avoid all information about Star Wars: The Force Awakens not only in 2015, but for the three years since we knew it was coming. READ HIS ARTICLE ABOUT IT HERE. What was still a surprise? What was unavoidable and what wasn't as fun as it should be?

    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.

    A Note on SPOILERS: This podcast ASSUMES you have seen The Force Awakens.

  • Review – Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    Fighting in the Star Wars Room
    This week, David, Patches, Da7e and Katey have all seen J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You probably have too! If you have, you want to talk about it. If you haven't, prepare to pause this episode or delve into spoilers.
     
    Yes, spoilers. The first 29 minutes and 42 seconds of this podcast are SPOILER FREE.
    Then there is a lightsaber and the spoilers come fast and hard with more than usual amount of tangental cross-talk (it was hard only talking to a handful of people about this movie)

  • STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode 2: Revenge of the New Hopes

    Plus The Force Awakens speculations

    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.

    In the second Star Wars Special, Matt Patches (who has managed to avoid all information about the Force Awakens except that the Millennium Falcon is in it) and Joanna Robinson engage with Da7e on what level of Star Wars minutiae is a step too far. Trivia? Expanded Universe? Then, Katey Rich and Joanna entertain Da7e's R2-D2 theory as a way of talking about how to improve the prequels.

    Then – This is the LAST PODCAST RECORDED before everyone sees The Force Awakens! – it's finally time for The Storm of Spoilers crew to apply their Game of Thrones Citadel of Crazytown to Episode VII. No one has actually seen the movie, but everyone has questions. Then, the hosts brainstorm possible titles for Episode VIII.

    A Note on SPOILERS: On a scale from Mister Patches (knowing nothing) to Storm of Spoilers (spoiling everything), this episode's final segment TOTAL SPOILAGE POSSIBLE. There will be a GONG SOUND 1 hour and 27 minutes in in to warn you when that the speculation is about to happen.

  • Review – The Big Short

    The financial sky is falling
    This week, David, Patches, and Katey bet against the banks, make a billion dollars, then quit the podcasting business. Just kidding. They made a billion dollars and decided to review The Big Short. They also pick answers to a lightning round question about celebrity cameos.

  • STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode One: A Phantom Jedi Awakening Menace

    The Phantom Menace > Return of the Jedi

    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. In the first of our Star Wars specials, Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair's Hollywood (and the Thought Bubble and Storm of Spoilers podcasts) takes a quiz to recall The Phantom Menace followed by spoiler-phobe Matt Patches' quiz to recall Return of the Jedi. Then, the two lock horns like two sons of Dathomir to debate Patches' theory that The Phantom Menace is a better movie than Return of the Jedi. Finally, Katey stops by to kick Patches out and finally talk freely about The Force Awakens for the first time on a FITWR podcast.

    A Note on SPOILERS: On a scale from Mister Patches (knowing nothing) to Storm of Spoilers (spoiling everything), this episode's final segment is in the middle. There will be a GONG SOUND 22 minutes in to warn you when that the speculation is about to happen. The rest of the podcast is spoiler free!

  • 99 – You’ll Die Before Your E-mail Does

    Circling back to Spotlight and listening to critic's circles

    This week, the podcasters have lost Da7e to a galaxy far, far away, so Katey, Patches and David talk about the "Best of" lists that have been released thus far and if they have captured 2015's year in movies. Then, Patches has an odd question for the other two hosts before all three circle back to talk about the currently-in-release journalism movie Spotlight from director Thomas McCarthy. That, plus a Lightning Round question about celebrity cameos.

  • Review – Carol

    Really good or the best?
    This week, Katey, David, Patches and Da7e convene to talk about what is most likely David Ehrlich's number one movie of the year: Carol. The Todd Haynes directed lesbian love story is set in the 1950s and features Rooney Mara meeting Cate Blanchett's Carol. You seen the tweets, now hear the review.
