  • REVIEW – Apes V. Humans: Dawn of Justice

    This week, one of us is a real Koba. 
    It’s all monkey business this week, with Katey, David, Patches, and Dave taking on The Sequel to the Reboot of the Planet of the Apes. Andy Serkis returns as the performance captured primate Caeser, this time under the eye of Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In). Does the follow-up tread new ground or does it simply ape the first movie? That and your answers to our Boyhood-themed lightning round question on this week’s episode. Gorilla!

  • REVIEW – Does Tammy Or Echo Deliver Us To Evil?

    With Special Guest Jordan Hoffman!
    This week, Patches recruits Daily News Critic Jordan Hoffman for a trio of movie reviews. First, the two jump in the backseat of the road trip comedy Tammy — one of the weirdest studio summer movies in recent memory. After that, Patches has a close encounter of the Earth to Echo kind and Hoffman performs an exorcism on Scott Derrickson’s Deliver Us from Evil. Is there anything worth seeing this Fourth of July weekend? Find out on this week’s Fighting in the War Room review episode.

  • Trans4mers REVIEW: Robots in Disguise, Everything Else in Aggressively Plain Sight

    THE AGE OF EXTINCTION IS UPON US (Vote Republican)!
    This week, Patches, Katey, and David roll out with their leader Optimus Prime for the fourth battle in Michael Bay’s mega-budgeted Transformers franchise. David went to bat for the previous installment, Dark of the Moon, but does he muster up the same energon for Age of Extinction? Did Patches and Katey even survive Bay’s beast of a blockbuster or did they go the way of the many fallen Transformers of yesteryears (RIP Jazz)? Those questions answered, plus your picks for our lightning round question on musical performances in movies, on this week’s review episode.

  • 28 – Won’t Somebody Please Think of the Children?

    Plus Patches’ Idea For A Mini-Segment Backfires When Everyone Kinda Likes Transformers More Than He Thought.

    This week, Katey, David, Da7e and Patches are thinking about today’s youth after Patches runs into a child who is most looking forward to The Hobbit Part 3 and Planes: Fire and Rescue this year. This cannot stand, thinks Patches, who polls the other hosts on if we’ve lost quality children’s programming before opening the door for Da7e to shill for Paranorman by way of sh*t-talking a certain bear-movie. That plus a Mini-Segment about Trans4mers and David and Patches react to Spike Lee’s newest “official joint” Da Sweet Blood of Jesus!

    Including a Book-Spoiler Free Discussion of Game of Thrones, Season 4

    This week, Katey, David, Da7e and Patches have peeped the TRANSFORMERS PREMAKE by Kevin B. Lee and want to talk about blockbuster filmmaking in the world economy (of course!).

Finally, in a massive roundtable segment, the hosts take on their feelings about Game of Thrones Season 4 WITHOUT encountering A STORM OF SPOILERS.

  • REVIEW – Sequel-Sequel Jump Street

    Katey Gets To Review The New Channing Tatum Movie.
    Katey, David, and Patches are going back to college!… where they spent most of their time watching movies and talking about them with friends. Huh. This week, the FITWR crew takes on 22 Jump Street, the sequel to Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s surprisingly functional comedy adaptation.
