This week, because of the American holiday week and the upcoming award season, your hosts all watched different things (or things they can’t talk about yet), so it’s the return of the PANDEMIC CHECK IN FORMAT! Each host talks about a thing (or things) they ingested this week in the pop culture sphere without spoiling (well, Katey does answer a very important question about the end of Trolls Band Together). The conversation includes bits on Blue Eye Samurai, You Are What You Watch by Walt Hickey, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Next Goal Wins, Wish, and Trolls Band Together! Then, your hosts move Scott Pilgrim Takes Off to next week’s episode so you have a chance to catch up!

This week, David Ehrlich is out seeing the rest of this years big movies, but the other three dive into the War Room with gusto. Thanks to The Marvels underperforming in the theaters and the season finale of Loki season 2 on Disney Plus, it’s finally time to ask: “What’s Up With Marvel?” Then, Warner Bros tried to scrap the basically-complete movie Coyote Vs. Acme only for Hollywood to rebel and get it put back up for auction. Finally, all three dive into the newest David Fincher movie (now on Netflix) The Killer.

It’s another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell!
For this edition of a FITWR Quarter Quell, each host had a movie assigned to them by the three other hosts that “they wouldn’t like on paper” to investigate both how well we all know each other and if we can nudge friends into watching movies whose plot, genre, or themes seemed incongruous with other media they enjoy.
