499.5 – Cleaning out the Mailbag, Oscar Nomination Reactions, Sundance Movies!
This week, David is back from Sundance but Matt Patches has a (lah-dee-dah) dinner he has to get to answer skips out. First, Da7e notices that they have more emails than normal and suggests they stop skipping and read them. Then, Katey curates a conversation with the guys about Academy Award nominations even though that’s what she’s been doing all week for her job. Then, David leads a conversation about some notable Sundance movies even though that’s what he’s been doing all week for his job. Da7e has a grand old time.

499.25 – Trump x2 Coping Media, 2025 New Movie Quiz, Making New Friends as an Adult
This week, David has to fly off to Sundance, so we’re postponing whatever our 500th episode (numerically) would be to talk about pop culture in America in 2025. First, somehow Trump returned, so our hosts talk about what they have been ingesting media wise to cope with, ignore, or confront that reality. Then, Katey Rich has a quiz for Patches and Da7e to collaborate on about this year’s upcoming films. Finally, Katey’s husband asks why she doesn’t make new guy friends and Da7e and Patches try to help answer.

499 – Holiday Catch-Up Special
This week, everyone’s back in the War Room in 2025 but not quite ready for Top Ten Movies 2024 (that’s coming up next week!), instead they decompress about spending the holidays largely away from new movies, debate Sonic 3 Vs. Mufasa, revisit Black Doves, and felt okay about Squid Game 2. It’s a “special” because it’s long and has no format, right?
