We’re coming up on our &lt;a href=&quot;http://fightinginthewarroom.com/xxv/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;first Fighting In The War Room Quarter Quell!&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;What is a Quarter Quell?&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;For fans of The Hunger Games book series, a Quarter Quell takes place every 25 years and something about those Hunger Games is different. In Catching Fire, the movie and the book, the Quarter Quell features a culling from the surviving tributes and…now this has nothing to do with the podcast.&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;em&gt;A podcast Quarter Quell represents a break in our usual format. Every 25 episodes, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e stop talking about current pop culture and cover a topic/movie that let’s you know a bit more about the four of them as people.&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;em&gt;It’s humanizing, like naming a cow before the slaughter.&lt;strong&gt; Especially this Storytelling Quarter Quell, which might be our best. You decide!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Leading up to Fighting In The War Room 25 (June 3rd!), we’ll be seeding &lt;a href=&quot;http://fightinginthewarroom.com/tag/quarter-quell/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;our previous Quarter Quells under that other podcast name.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

This week, we&#039;re changing up the format for our third Quarter Quell, celebrating our 75th episode by revisiting movies from our past that come with a particularly good story attached. No tidbits this week, no dessert, just a lightning round then storytelling, in which Katey revisits a rainy night in Amsterdam spent watching &lt;em&gt;Charade&lt;/em&gt;, Da7e recounts multiple trips to see &lt;em&gt;South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut&lt;/em&gt;, Patches has a particularly strong memory attached to &lt;em&gt;X2: X-Men United&lt;/em&gt;, and David is inspired to conduct his own secret tour of Tokyo based on&lt;em&gt; Lost in Translation&lt;/em&gt;.
