This week, David and Katey are out doing important family and movie business, but not Da7e and Matt Patches, who assemble in the War Room not to fight but to have a little free-form media chat that lasted way too long. At least we didn’t cancel the podcast.

This week, Patches is out at some game developer conference, so better time than ever for Katey, Da7e, and David to go hard on The Russo Bros’ Netflix offering The Electric State and how maybe the Russos shouldn’t give interviews anymore. Then, Da7e’s girlfriend watched The Pirate (1948) again, have you all seen The Pirate? It’s pretty fun. Finally, it’s another Steven Soderbergh movie, this one a spy-thriller where most of the action is in the lies.
