547 – The Death of Robin Hood, Patches didn’t see Disclosure Day, Disclosure Day
Episodes | | 19. June, 2026
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.

546 – Getting Paid For Obsession, Ocarina of Time in 2026, Widow’s Bay
Episodes | | 11. June, 2026
This week, it was David’s turn to be felled by solo-parenting, so Katey, Patches, and Da7e convene in the War Room. First, an Instagram post from the art director of surprise hit Obsession intended to spur discussion about profit sharing and her low pay on the movie. For better or for worse, Da7e and Patches leap into that discussion. Then, Da7e and Patches try to explain to Katey how her Zelda-obsessed children are probably going to want to play the Switch 2 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time coming this year. Finally, Katey and Patches have really been enjoying Apple TV’s Widow’s Bay and talk about the high points in anticipation of the upcoming season conclusion.

545 – 90s Summer, Backrooms Revisited, Pressure, I Love Boosters
Episodes | | 3. June, 2026
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.

544 – Mandalorian and Grogu, Backrooms, What’s Wrong With American Dramas?
Episodes | | 29. May, 2026
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.
