73 – No Fighting in the Entourage
| 2. June, 2015

Entourage-Movie

And which host is which Game of Thrones character?

This week – Oh YEAH (Oh Yeah (oh yeah (ohyeah))) it’s an all dude ‘cast as Patches, Da7e and David are down a Katey. It’s appropriate that this is also the week an Entourage movie comes out, so these three guys talk about why the series seems mostly hated this time around. Then, in a segment inspired by Patches’ dinner small talk, each host has to cast the FITWR line-up as Game of Thrones characters (surprisingly no one is Hodor). Finally, David wonders if wanting to see your political ideals reflected onscreen sometimes hurts cinema by throwing the baby out with the nitpicky bathwater.

| 26. May, 2015

And we round up Cannes so you don’t have to

This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David want to take Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland bait and wonder if liking disaster cinema is feeding into a gross human part of all of us that is cynical and dying. Granted, that’s not what all four hosts believe…let’s just say someone should be ready for the zombie apocalypse. Also: Patches says that The Phantom Menace is a better movie than Return of the Jedi and in certain circles, dem’s fightin’ words. Finally: Katey, Da7e and Patches each mention one Cannes film they’re interested in and David talks about a good half dozen.

REVIEW – Tomorrowland
| 24. May, 2015

Touch the pin.

This week, David, Katey, and Patches are deemed Minus Ultra, and banned from the parallel universe of Tomorrowland. So they settle for the movie version, directed by Brad Bird and written by Damon Lindelof. That and answers to our Mad Men-themed lighting round question on this week’s Fighting in the War Room review episode.

And our favorite Mad Men quotes

Audio Note: This week Katey had to phone it in, but does NOT phone it in. If you get our drift.

This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David say goodbye to AMC’s Mad Men, a show we’ve spent almost a decade watching, writing about and thinking about. Which host cried during the Finale? What’s everyone’s favorite quote and why is Patches so into defending Betty as a character. If you haven’t caught up with Mad Men through the series finale “Person to Person,” you’re a bit S.O.L. on this one. But we’d like to buy you a Coke and keep you company regardless.
