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

This week, everyone is back in the war room so Da7e can go on vacation this weekend. First, everyone politely let’s Da7e refer to his notes on why The Social Reckoning isn’t just bad drama, but nobody should actually see it if they want to understand anything about humans, let alone Facebook or America. Then, […]

This week, Da7e was in a theater seeing Wild Horse Nine, but your other three hosts made it to the podcast despite being very sleepy! First, it’s time to talk about this past weekend’s domestic box office winner Verity with Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett and Anne Hathaway. Then, David hasn’t played Zero Company (last week’s […]

This week, David is the one who can’t make the podcast, so Katey and Patches tell Da7e about the new Mahershala Ali hitman movie Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother (it’s not out in Denver yet so Da7e literally can’t see it). Then, Patches has been playing Star Wars: Zero Company and Da7e is deep […]

This week, Da7e can’t make the podcast because of cinema, so your other three hosts convene to talk about the Zach Cregger horror-comedy that’s gnawing on the American Box Office this week. But, before that, a check in with Matt Patches who has some thoughts about movies and nudes (separate topics) after coming home from […]

Katey and David are home from TIFF with a not-numbered episode of the podcast where they discuss festival and family woes, getting screeners for festival movies versus seeing them in a theater, and the newest buzzy festival movies like The Debut,Elsinore, Possible Love, and Everytime. They also weigh in on Wild Horse Nine, Ink, and the strange, ongoing festival phenomenon of […]

This week, the podcast has its four hosts again, at least for one segment on the first three episodes of HBO’s Lanterns. Then, after David has to run, Da7e tries to explain the new movie Onslaught to Katey and Patches, then all three remaining hosts review Coyote Vs. Acme, a movie they actually got to […]

This week, remaining podcast hosts Patches, Katey, and Da7e jump onto…Netflix…to watch…GTA VI….? What the hell was that? Then, Patches and Da7e debate just how big this game is going to be come November. Then, Katey has a sophisticate question for us about our bed-making habits. Finally, Furious is a show on Hulu where Emmy […]

This week, we assure you David Ehrlich is returning to this podcast. In a return to some sort of format, you left reviews and sent e-mails but it still takes Katey, Patches, and Da7e a good 20 minutes to get started this week. When they do, Katey and Da7e weigh in on the perfectly cromulent […]

This week, David can’t make it, but we have three hosts and three movies to review. First, Patches and Da7e dig into the Netflix sci-fi trapped-in-your-house movie The Last House (Spoilers!). then, Patches and Da7e revive some Republic City Dispatch talk to discuss Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, a movie streaming on Paramount Plus. Then, […]

This week, whoops, there’s a new biggest movie in theaters and this one is setting records. Matt Patches and Katey Rich were unable to catch Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theaters, but Katey shows up to referee a discussion between Davids, one Ehrlich who did not like Brand New Day as much as one Da7e […]

This week, everyone is back in the War Room and not on vacation with multiple children and everyone has seen The Odyssey! We figured it was about time that we devoted an episode of one of TIME Magazine’s Best Podcasts of All Time to this all-timer cinematic experience (that nevertheless has nitpicks our hosts will […]

AKA NONE OF US ARE FIFTY YET BUT ALL THESE MOVIES ARE. It’s another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell!  For this edition of a FITWR Quarter Quell, each host picked a movie that was released 50 years go in 1976 and was NOT one of the super popular ones (no Network, no Rocky). Katey […]

This week, David can’t make it to the War Room, but is locked in with the rest of the hosts for next week’s QUARTER QUELL – 1976. On this episode, Da7e has questions for Patches about the no-good-very-bad news for the console gaming industry over the past couple of weeks. Then, Katey reports on Minions […]

This week, everyone is back in the War Room, but David is very tired. Somehow, Supergirl is out this weekend and no one besides Da7e was planning to see it, so Da7e took that bullet for Patches, Katey and David. Then, Katey talks about seeing CATS: The Jellicle Ball, a new take on a “classic” […]

This week, all four hosts are back in the War Room (but still no guests). David, Da7e, and Katey discuss the new Hugh Jackman-starring The Death Of Robin Hood which is violent and melancholy. Then, Patches didn’t get to see Disclosure Day because of a malfunctioning IMAX projector but he did watch Heavenly Creatures at […]
