Fighting In The War Room

This week, we’re circling back to Astroid City for Segment 3, both because it’s readily available to stream and Netflix released FOUR Wes Anderson short films based off Roald Dahl stories. The group talks The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Poison, The Swan, and The Rat Catcher, then takes a break to hear from Da7e […]

This week, everyone finally caught up with Past Lives, the Celine Song movie that is now available to rent and we talk about it in Segment 3! Also discussed this week is what we’ve been reading (The Outsider, Honey Baby Mine, and – AHEM – TheMCUBook.com) and the episode kicks off with another Hulu sensation […]

This week, nobody can pronounce anything correctly as the whole team gathers in the War Room. Da7e and Katey have both seen Dumb Money (about the GameStop short squeeze) and give it a little review. The gang attempts to help a listener with documentaries in Vulture’s Movie Fantasy League, then Patches and Da7e have seen […]

This week, everyone’s back in one Zoom War Room at the same time! Patches has a question about the continued and amazing popularity of Taylor Swift (who is releasing a concert movie into theaters next month), everyone tells what they know about Netflix’s Manga adaptation One Piece, then Katey and David report back from this […]

This week, schedules got scrambled as hosts came back from Telluride and head off to Toronto for Fall Film Festival season. Through the magic of editing, David joins Patches and Da7e to preview some of the movies he saw at the Telluride Film Festival (Poor Things, All The Strangers, The Royal Hotel, The Bikeriders, Saltburn), […]

This week, David is off beginning the fall festival run, so Katey, Patches, and Da7e convene in the war room.

Then, all three hosts talk UNION MOVIES with Katey watching Boxcar Bertha, and Patches and Da7e […]

This week, everyone is back in the war room for one week (fall festivals incoming!). We kick it off with a question from Matt Patches about SAG waivers for promoting non-AMPTP produced films, then Katey and Da7e check in on the new season of Only Murders in the Building on Hulu, and finally get to […]

This week, an expected vacation and an unexpected storm leaves only David and Da7e in the War Room for a loose, not-even-numbered episode where David reviews Blue Beetle, Da7e recommends Al-Mummia (AKA The Night of Counting the Years), there’s some talk about Love Island and then more talk about Marvel Snap.

This week, Patches is back in the War Room with Da7e and Katey! This week, Katey’s discovery of an old hard drive has the hosts debating how to deal with personal archives. Then, Katey saw Seth Rogan on screen before Turtles started and wonders why these pre-movie bumpers became a thing. Finally, Da7e and Katey […]

This week, summer vacations and child illness strikes again, leaving the War Room just for Katey and Da7e this week. Katey took some spare time to check out Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and Da7e watched it recently, so they both sing the praises of this under-appreciated gem. Then, Katey wasn’t here last […]

Of course Katey is on vacation for the Barbie episode. This week, Da7e, David, and Patches jump into the War Room to talk about the trajectory of actor/director Greta Gerwig’s films before jumping into a review of Barbie and the various reactions to the massive hit of a film that is also a Mattel ad. […]

This week, Katey, David, and Patches jump into the War Room to talk about the trajectory of director Christopher Nolan’s films before jumping into a lengthy review of Oppenheimer, which includes “The Oppenheimer Game” where your hosts go round robin attempting to remember the stacked cast. Also, more info on Katey’s Marvel Snap deck! Take […]

This week, everyone is back in the war room. David has watched Apple TV’s Hijack and loves the smooth brain action. Everyone else is getting through The Bear season 2 and all four hosts discuss how the binge model is working these days. Katey and Da7e saw Pixar’s Elemental and hope it keeps some legs […]

Since Twitter might have imploded and we don’t know if we’re on Bluesy or threads, just a little message from Da7e on the main feed letting you know we’ll be back next week.
