476 – Movie Business Check-In, The Acolyte, Hit Man
Episodes | | 14. June, 2024

This week, we lost David again as the remaining co-hosts dive into some new business developments around Hollywood. Sony has bought the Alamo Drafthouse theater chain (vertical integration, here we come!) and no one has bought Paramount yet – what’s happening!?! Then, Patches and Da7e try to describe what’s happening on Disney Plus with The Acolyte before Katey jumps in the fray and they all talk about Hit Man the new Richard Linklater movie that is now on Netflix – SPOILERS for Hit Man begin at 53 minutes in – go see, or stream, the movie!

475 – The Elder Millennial Canon Quell
Episodes | | 6. June, 2024

What movies define our generation?

It’s another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell! 

For this edition of a FITWR Quarter Quell, each host brings a movie they think belongs in the “Elder Millennial Canon” of films. After a brief discussion of what that could possibly mean and a clarification that each movie needs at least three “yay” votes to qualify, the hosts jump in on Bring it On, Napoleon Dynamite, Marie Antoinette, and (500) Days of Summer.

Previous Quarter Quells:

474.5 – Cannes Report, Loot Season 2, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Episodes | | 28. May, 2024

This week, David is back from the Cannes Film Festival and is ready to report back to the podcast (From Megalopolis to Anora)! Also, Katey has seen Season 2 of Loot on Apple TV Plus and deemed it a worthy sitcom. Finally, all four hosts dig into Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga after this weekend’s low-grossing Memorial Day Box Office seems to say people aren’t ready to go to theaters for big R-rated blockbusters quite yet (lookout Deadpool?).

474.25 – Galactic Starcruiser, Google AI, I Saw The TV Glow
Episodes | | 24. May, 2024

This week, Katey returns from The Ankler’s Los Angeles to re-focus Patches and Da7e in the War Room while David keeps Cannes-ing. She only has mild success as the podcast transforms a “what we’re watching” segment into one about Disney’s “Star Wars Hotel” and the 4-hour takedown video about it. Then, Patches guides us through Google’s new AI search that seems bad for everyone, especially the internet. Finally, Katey and Da7e talk I Saw The TV Glow and how it’s a pretty great movie for people of our age group.
