This week, David is… somewhere. Katey, Patches, and Da7e get together in the War Room to talk about the 2025 Box Office pre-Avatar, Zootopia 2 going down easy like hot chocolate, then they talk about Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery which is in some theaters and definitely on Netflix. There is a spoiler gong at 1 hour, nine minutes, and forty-six seconds in, but we DO NOT GIVEAWAY THE WHODUNNIT, WHAT ARE WE, MONSTERS??!?!

This week, we have a bifurcated episode between pairs of hosts. Katey and David take main hosting duties with an intro and a listener e-mail, then they hand to Patches and Da7e to talk about how the sale of Warner Bros is going to change Hollywood. Then, Katey and David Heroically return to talk about moderating all these awards conversations with people promoting their movies, and also why Timothée Chalamet told David Ehrlich to be nice about Marty Supreme because his mom was there.

This week, we have replaced a still-absent David with Ben Hosley from the Blank Check podcast and producer/creator of the Slow Xmas music project or “bit” that we also discuss on this episode.

Ben also saw (pun not intended) the Chainsaw Man movie and informs Katey, Da7e, and Patches about this anime hit that beat out Bugonia at the box office when it was released. Then, your three regular co-hosts talk about Hamnet and if their hearts were ripped out of their bodies by pure emotion or not. We talk about the end, I guess, but even the director Chloe Zhao says this movie can’t be spoiled.

This week, David is out but Katey is back in, even after spending a stressful week reorganizing her community to respond to the governments immigration enforcement thugs. For a mini-segment, Patches is anticipating another AVATAR movie this year and is wondering if that kind of blockbuster motion-capture movie can be replicated after James Cameron is done. Finally, the three members of the podcast who liked Bugonia the most take advantage of David Ehrlich’s absence to talk about what they liked about it.
