This week, Patches was felled by solo-parenting, so Katey, David, and Da7e make it to the war room. Katey found a puzzling post on threads and Da7e and David try to speculate about just what a “90s Summer” would have actually been. Then, David has since seen Backrooms as have (checks box office numbers) a LOT of you, so Ehrlich gets to throw his thoughts into the endless hallways. Then, in Segment Three, Katey wants to talk about Pressure (which is NOT the one about aliens, Da7e learns) and Da7e wants to talk about I Love Boosters, so they slam them into one segment without pausing for a music break.

This week, everyone is back in the war room and the numbered episodes resume! David, Patches, and Katey took the families to Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu, so the show must finally give it a full review. We swear we’re done talking about this movie, David’s son didn’t even want to stay to the end of the movie. Then, Da7e reports from having seen Backrooms and doesn’t spoil anything, if the movie explains anything, and if you know what Backrooms is at all. Finally, Patches has a big overarching question I have decided to summarize as “What’s Wrong with American Dramas?” because that’s a provocative part of it.

This week, Patches and Da7e convene in the War Room because Patches has A.I. concerns now that Google is giving into the bubble. Da7e saw Mandalorian and Grogu, and they talk about how little cultural impact it seems to be having. Da7e does not spoil any plot points or twists, so don’t worry!

Then, David and Katey check in from Cannes at 10:30PM last Monday. Seems like a light year, but Katey saw Club Kid, which A24 picked up! David liked Paper Tiger and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Katey also talks about her takeaways from her first Cannes Film Festival and her screening of Hope, a movie she thinks will work for a lot of people. Finally, the President of Global Cinema of Neon makes the mistake of walking past our hosts late at night on a street in France and mistakenly appears on the podcast.

This week, David and Katey have gone to Cannes, leaving Da7e and Patches in the War Room. The two manage not to cancel the show, but bookend it with the sad news that Clarence Carter, artist who recorded the song “Patches” has passed away at age 90. The two also talk about how the Tales from the Crypt TV series is on Shudder, the 3D concert movie Da7e saw, followed by a real concert. Patches thought Da7e watched Punisher: One Last Kill so he did and the two talk about it. Then, in wondering what a new Westworld movie could be about, they become two old men yelling about A.I. It’s fun! They don’t cancel the podcast.
