It's our fifth Quell as Fighting in The War Room, and one of us is super pregnant. With Katey Rich's due date passed, each host picks a movie that they would pass on to the next generation, even if that generation isn't biologically theirs. We go in the order of "most likely to have children in wedlock" […]

Each Host Replaced By The Person Who Puts Up With Them It’s our fourth Quell as Fighting in The War Room (and our 2nd 100th episode as a foursome), and we’ve all stopped going it alone. It’s time to meet the significant others, the people who have put up with us podcasting multiple times a week […]

Let’s Talk Literal Escapism This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David kick things off with Finding Nemo and it’s upcoming sequel Finding Dory.

Katey Played Warcraft before seeing Warcraft This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David want to talk about Zoos as entertainment and/or cruelty. Some news items have Patches wondering if documentaries or even virtual reality provides the same connection to the other things in the world while Da7e “well, actually”s the premise. Before all that, Katey saw […]

We ALL Want a Do-Over Please Note: Da7e suffered from verbal dyslexia during Fighting In The War Room Episode 120 and knows that he said “Casual” every time he meant “Causal.” Rest assured his soul has died 1000 deaths since then and he’s eternally sorry. Thank you for letting us know, you can stop now. […]

X-Men: Part 9 This week, David, Katey, and Patches graduate from Xavier’s School for Gifted Film Snobs and take on X-Men: Apocalypse, the latest installment of the 2CFMCU (20th Century Fox Marvel Cinematic Universe).

It’s Not A Paradox This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David fix their audio and deliver a whole show! AMC has finally brought a Preacher adaptation to screen?

Smoking Joints, Talking About Life This week, David, Patches, and Katey tackle a double feature: Shane Black’s Nice Guys and Nicholas Stoller’s Neighbors 2.

When Segment 3 Got Deleted This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David suffer some technical difficulties, so this week’s segment 3 about hte “Game of Thrones” phenomena had to get cut (it was full of static and pauses, you would have hated it). After a now ironic couple of reviews that include audio quality knocks, the team […]

With returning guest Jordan Hoffman! This week, Dave, Katey, Patches, and special guest Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian invest all their critical thoughts into two cinematic options: Money Monster, the latest from director Jodie Foster, and High-Rise, Ben Wheatley’s dystopian fever dream. Are George Clooney and Julia Roberts feeling bullish? Did Tom Hiddleston charm their […]

Plus, David is a Fanboy about Radiohead This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David hear you: That Captain America: Civil War review last Friday was divisive.

With Special Guest Chris Plante! This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David are joined for a third segment by Chris Plante of TheVerge.com because David was forced to see video game film adaptation of Ratchet and Clank and we thought maybe an expert video game opinion was required to answer some of the deeper questions of the film’s mere existence. […]

Queen Bey in the North This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David celebrate a weekend where even non-subscribers had access to HBO.

With returning guest Joe Reid of Decider! This week, Katey, Patches, and special guest Joe Reid of Decider and the Extra Hot Great podcast gaze into the magical mirror of their local AMC multiplex and wonder, “Mirror, Mirror, on the 60-foot wall, which fantasy franchise is the fairest of them all?” The answer is not […]
