Advertise on podcast: Fighting In The War Room: A Movies And Pop Culture Podcast

This week, David, Katey, and Da7e unite in the War Room to talk about the two movies about art, sorta, that Michaela Coel is currently starring in. First, David and Da7e try to explain director David Lowery’s Mother Mary, where Coel’s fashion designer faces off with Anne Hathaway’s pop star. Then, all three jump in […]

This week, we had to wait for the embargo to be lifted on Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, and once everyone knows the podcast is actually going up on Thursday, we can’t stop referencing it. First, David tells you about Lee Cronin’s The Mummy – out this weekend if you need some goop. Then, Patches talks […]

This week, David got suddenly ill, so Da7e has to explain The Drama (actually a comedy) to Katey and Patches which necessitates SAYING THE THING THE TRAILER IMPLIES IS A MYSTERY. If you want to go in completely fresh, skip the segment, if you’re one of the many who have already seen The Drama, hopefully […]

This week, the hosts have to deal with Spring Break and the various trips for people not named David. Patches is absent entirely on the West Coast attending Disneyland and visiting family. Katey is also visiting family, but finds some time to call in to hear Da7e talk about Super Mario Galaxy while her kids […]

This week, OpenAI killed Sora 2 while Da7e wasn’t paying attention, so Katey, Patches, and David fill him in on the death of the copyright-violation machine. Then, Patches has been saving Big Questions for this exact podcast moment: what toothpastes do the hosts use? Finally, after a month of promising, we all review Project Hail […]

This week, Da7e tells the other hosts about The AI Doc or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, a movie that is mostly vibes. Which is good because the other hosts are here for a vibe-heavy episode talking about last Sunday’s 98th Annual Academy Awards! What were the thoughts outside of the Sinners vs One Battle […]

This week, Da7e saw some movies, I guess. First, Da7e tries to sell David, Patches, and Katey on The Bride! which is the kind of big swings that should be happening in early March, says he. Then, Da7e saw undertone an A24 horror movie about a podcast gone wrong and thinks people might like it […]

This week, everyone manages to make it back into the War Room, but also manage to not mention the very real war that started since last episode. Don’t worry, though, a Canadian listener writes in prompting David to give hockey opinions and all of us to give dour patriotism opinions. Then, into the show, as […]

This week, a huge snow storm on the east coast shut down David’s access to the internet, breaking his Fighting In The War Room streak. Your other three hosts – Patches, Katey, and Da7e – all assemble in the war room and forsake both David’s streak and the format of the podcast. This not-an-episode chat […]

CEASE AND DECEASE! This week, David continues his streak on what he insists is his fourth of seven consecutive weeks on the podcast, but Patches felt ill, so Katey and Da7e get the pleasure of pre-colonoscopy David. First, Da7e and David discuss Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, a very-Canadian movie in theaters now […]

This week, David continues his streak on what he insists is his third of seven consecutive weeks on the podcast, but Katey Rich had to be in Los Angeles for awards stuff. David and Patches listen to Da7e talk about Emerald Fennell’s very goopy “Wuthering Heights,” then Patches and David talk about the zen of […]

This week, David continues what he insists is his second of seven consecutive weeks on the podcast, and it turns out it’s because he’s on book leave. After talking about Heater Rivalry again because you wrote in about it, three of the hosts discuss Disneyland Handcrafted a new collection of documentary footage available on Disney […]

This week, David begins what he claimed was seven consecutive weeks on the podcast by giving an overview of what he saw at the final Park City Sundance. He mentions Closure, I Want Your Sex, The Invite, The Shitheads, Rachel Lambert’s Carousel, Zi, Josephine and The History of Concrete (and didn’t seem to like too […]

This week, Katey and Da7e were the only hosts who could make it to the war room, so instead of doing a traditional episode, the two talk about how there’s some good television out there! Da7e finally started Heated Rivalry (Katey has seen it all), and Katey tries to explain why this gay hockey show […]

“Did that come out yet?” We’re back at it again, ranking our favorite movies of last year in one long podcast! This year, we even beat David’s video countdown by about a week, so we’re historically ahead of schedule. Below you will find this year’s format with timestamps for when we discuss a particular entry […]
