Review Episodes»Volume 1 | | 22. November, 2013

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

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.

 

This week’s music:

“Jennifer Lawrence, You Are a Brilliant Actress Girl” by Papa Razzi and the Photogs
“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Lorde

Operation Kino 139: The Future Of Marvel And Of Dumb Hunger Games Merchandising
Episodes»Volume 1 | | 19. November, 2013

This week we’re processing both the weekend performance of Thor: The Dark World and Marvel Studio’s giant deal with Netflix to talk about the future of Marvel comics, and how in the coming years pretty much everything Disney makes will all be linked together. We also dig into the new J.J. Abrams production that just so happens to be a book, wonder why the Hunger Games marketing tie-ins seem to completely miss the point of the book, answer a listener voicemail about the future of movie fandom after video stores are gone, and pick the 1999 movies for which we want to see a completely unexpected sequel.

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.

Review: Following Thor Into The Dark World
Review Episodes»Volume 1 | | 19. November, 2013

 

This week we’re finally learning to pronounce Mjolnir and failing to remember the name of the MacGuffin this time, as we review the latest Marvel Studios effort Thor: The Dark World. For help, Patches and Katey bring in Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci, who is both knowledgeable about superhero things and pretty enthusiastic about this latest adventure (it’s also his birthday today– Happy Birthday Devin!) And we end with your answers to our lightning round question about movies that involve drinking.
