107 – Opinions from people some sarcastically call “Journalists”
The Witch, Deadpool’s success, and a Listener-prompted segment!
Absent a Patches, Katey, Da7e and enemy of Fox news David Ehrlich are free to hear David’s thoughts on A24’s first wide release The Witch that comes out this Friday and discuss with Da7e how Deadpool could have become such a massive financial hit. Then, a comment on the Fighting In the War Room website requests the gang review what it’s like to try and be a critic these days, which leads to much reminiscing about how the three hosts got here in the first place.

017 – How I Met Your Zeitgeist
Plus A Mid-Episode Post-Credits Scene Discussion.
This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David convened on Sunday to discuss the How I Met Your Mother finale and how this filmed-in-LA sitcom about friends in New York closed out it’s 9 Season run. Then, David wants to talk about just how much critics are supposed to plug into the greater cultural zeitgeist, wondering if it’s irresponsible for any serious critic to have, say, NOT seen The Avengers. That plus real American heroes and a brief discussion of Marvel’s credits scenes inspired by Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier.
