001 – You Won’t Believe What This Bombastic Podcast Says About Musicals
Or, How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Pharrell
Welcome to the first official episode of Fighting in the War Room! This week the gang’s all here to talk about musicals and movies that revolve around music, whether there’s a difference and whether the likes of Frozen and Les Miserables are keeping the musical alive. We keep the music theme for a discussion of new interactive music videos from Pharrell and Bob Dylan, then get quizzed by Patches on movie taglines that have been put through the Upworthy spin cycle. All that plus a lightning round devoted to the biggest cinematic turkeys of 2013.

Review: Who’s Hungry For Some Catching Fire?
Hello and welcome to Episode .5– or Episode 0, or whatever you want to call it– of Fighting in the War Room!
This week Katey, David and Patches are reviewing The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but all four of us get together at the start of the show to talk about the new show, what you guys should expect (spoiler: mostly the same thing as Operation Kino) and indulge in a few tangents about what Da7e could be reviewing instead of Catching Fire, which he hasn’t seen. Thanks for joining us on this new adventure, and look forward to new episodes– including the return of lightning rounds!– next week.

Operation Kino 139: The Future Of Marvel And Of Dumb Hunger Games Merchandising
Click here to see a box of Hunger Games chocolates identical to the ones Katey received. They are, we must confirm, delicious.
Also, apologies for the audio quality on Patches’ end. Unavoidable technical difficulty that will not be repeated.
