This week, all four hosts finally get to talk about Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the Scott Pilgrim not-a-remake anime that is currently on Netflix, and they manage to do it without heavy spoilers (though they do talk about the premise of the series). Then, what’s up with Justin Timberlake? What happened there? Finally, all four hosts have seen Emerald Fennell’s newest Saltburn and try to process what that was.

This week, Katey and David are both attempting to watch Amazon Studios Fallout adaptation and Matt Patches, who has seen the whole thing, tries to manage their expectations. Then, Da7e is going back to the theaters to watch Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace this weekend and suggests some reasons why. Finally, everyone saw Challengers (in theaters now!) and gets together for a discussion about the movie that doesn’t spoil the ending.

This week, in a slightly later podcast than usual, the whole gang gets together in the War Room. First, Patches and David both saw Rebel Moon: The Scargiver (that’s part two of Rebel Moon) and neither liked it very much, which has us all debating what Netflix’s blockbuster movie strategy is. Then, Bluey had a surprise episode (not so surprising if you listened to Da7e last week) and it’s sparked a very silly online debate amongst Bluey adults. Finally, Katey, Da7e, and David watched all of Shogun (Fox on Hulu on Disney Plus) and touch base to sing its praises with some mild-spoilers peppered in. Watch Shogun!

This week, everyone jumps in to check in on Bluey (streaming on Disney Plus) in honor of the series longest episode to date “The Sign,” which functions as a possible finale (but likely isn’t). Then, David reports back from director Guy Richie’s very busy period with some thoughts on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare before all four hosts jump into a war of their own with Alex Garland’s latest Civil War, currently in theaters.

This week, the whole crew is back together to catch up on some e-mails (opinions expressed by Da7e in the e-mail response section do not represent the opinions of other Fighting In The War Room hosts or anyone previously associated with the podcast or who may appear on the podcast in the future) then dive into Ripley the new limited series on Netflix. For a mini-segment, Patches ask that we all reflect on this week’s solar eclipse, then all the hosts dive into Apple TV Plus’ new documentary Girls State (opinions expressed by Da7e in the e-mail response section do not represent the opinions of other Fighting In The War Room hosts or anyone previously associated with the podcast or who may appear on the podcast in the future).

This week, David has to sit a week out of the War Room, but it’s just because of visiting in-laws – he is safe and fine! Katey, Patches, and Da7e convene so Patches and Da7e can talk about the not-good, but also not-bad Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, then Katey updates everyone on her departure from Vanity Fair and what her media life is like now. Finally, Katey and Da7e dig into another type of Empire in theaters right now, a Ghostbusters Frozen one since Katey’s eldest child wanted to see it as his first foray into the world of Ghostbusting. There are some spoilers for both Empire movies this week in their segments but those spoilers are VERY slight considering these movies and their visual spectacles.
