127 – When Franchise Filmmaking Goes…Wrong? When Pokémon Goes…Right?
Plus HBO's Not-Game of Thrones "The Night Of"
This week, Joanna Robinson begins to fill in for Katey (who is out on maternity leave). She's joined by David, Patches and Da7e as they discuss HBO's nine-part crime miniseries The Night Of (no spoilers beyond the premiere!), the sudden popularity of Pokémon Go and why when big franchises change it sometimes upsets us (prompted by the reaction of some people to the new Ghostbusters).

126 – It’s Been A Lackluster Summer, Except For That Farting Body
With Special Guest Neil Miller!
This week, Katey Rich finally has Charlie Gul'Dan and David's on assignment, so Matt Patches and Da7e invite Film School Rejects' Neil Miller over from the Citadel of Crazytown to fight in our war room. This week, the guys all like Swiss Army Man, the Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe farting corpse movie, and it's wide so YOU can see it too! Then, with David and Katey gone, Patches and Da7e can finally talk Hearthstone. It's all wrapped up by a discussion about how this year's summer movie season isn't making anyone excited.

This week's closing track:
125 – Movies We Want To Show (Our) Children
It's our fifth Quell as Fighting in The War Room, and one of us is super pregnant. With Katey Rich's due date passed, each host picks a movie that they would pass on to the next generation, even if that generation isn't biologically theirs. We go in the order of "most likely to have children in wedlock" starting with pregnant Katey and The Music Man, moving to Matt Patches and Searching For Bobby Fischer, then to David Ehrlich for The World of Tomorrow and finally for Da7e who chose Kung Fu Panda.

TECHNICAL NOTE: David is missing from the first segment due to technical and audio difficulties.
