Review – The Big Short
| 12. December, 2015

The-Big-Short

The financial sky is falling

This week, David, Patches, and Katey bet against the banks, make a billion dollars, then quit the podcasting business. Just kidding. They made a billion dollars and decided to review The Big Short. They also pick answers to a lightning round question about celebrity cameos.

STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode One: A Phantom Jedi Awakening Menace
| 9. December, 2015

The Phantom Menace > Return of the Jedi

The Fighting In The War Room podcast family acknowledges that Star Wars Mania is here to stay now that Disney-purchased Lucasfilm plans to spin the saga and anthology movies out into the foreseeable future. It's time to fight in the galactic war room. In the first of our Star Wars specials, Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair's Hollywood (and the Thought Bubble and Storm of Spoilers podcasts) takes a quiz to recall The Phantom Menace followed by spoiler-phobe Matt Patches' quiz to recall Return of the Jedi. Then, the two lock horns like two sons of Dathomir to debate Patches' theory that The Phantom Menace is a better movie than Return of the Jedi. Finally, Katey stops by to kick Patches out and finally talk freely about The Force Awakens for the first time on a FITWR podcast.

A Note on SPOILERS: On a scale from Mister Patches (knowing nothing) to Storm of Spoilers (spoiling everything), this episode's final segment is in the middle. There will be a GONG SOUND 22 minutes in to warn you when that the speculation is about to happen. The rest of the podcast is spoiler free!

Spotlight-Image-1

Circling back to Spotlight and listening to critic's circles

This week, the podcasters have lost Da7e to a galaxy far, far away, so Katey, Patches and David talk about the "Best of" lists that have been released thus far and if they have captured 2015's year in movies. Then, Patches has an odd question for the other two hosts before all three circle back to talk about the currently-in-release journalism movie Spotlight from director Thomas McCarthy. That, plus a Lightning Round question about celebrity cameos.

Really good or the best?

This week, Katey, David, Patches and Da7e convene to talk about what is most likely David Ehrlich's number one movie of the year: Carol. The Todd Haynes directed lesbian love story is set in the 1950s and features Rooney Mara meeting Cate Blanchett's Carol. You seen the tweets, now hear the review.
