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 finally watches the Barbra Streisand/Kris Kristofferson version of A Star is Born, Da7e caught up on a Sherlock Holmes movie he had never seen with The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, Patches picked the final Alfred Hitchcock film called Family Plot, and David exposes his cohosts to In Realm of the Senses .

Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us on Twitter: follow the show (@FITWR), Katey (@kateyrich) Patches (@misterpatches), Da7e (@Da7e) and David (@davidehrlich).

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 and Monsters, which sounds fun but is underperforming at the box office. Then, Katey and Da7e talk about The Invite, expanding to more theaters this weekend and though since they disclose the premise the trailer is hinting at, consider it LIGHT SPOILERS, I guess.

BACK NEXT WEEK WITH EPISODE 550, HE TYPES, JINXING THEM ALL.

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” and shames David for leaving a wedding without dancing. Finally, everyone who had kids brought them to Toy Story 5, which everyone enjoyed but Patches LOVED.

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 5AM. Finally, your hosts that did see Disclosure Day (FULL SPOILERS) dig into it, with 2/3rds of the reviewers more positive than the remaining third.
