This week, everyone is back in the War Room one more time in 2025 to talk about the third Avatar film from James Cameron – Avatar: Fire and Ash. We all recommend you see this movie if you are worried about spoilers, because we freely talk about everything, including the end of the film. The good news is spoilers don’t really matter this time around.

This week, David is… somewhere. Katey, Patches, and Da7e get together in the War Room to talk about the 2025 Box Office pre-Avatar, Zootopia 2 going down easy like hot chocolate, then they talk about Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery which is in some theaters and definitely on Netflix. There is a spoiler gong at 1 hour, nine minutes, and forty-six seconds in, but we DO NOT GIVEAWAY THE WHODUNNIT, WHAT ARE WE, MONSTERS??!?!

Then, Katey and David Heroically return to talk about moderating all these awards conversations with people promoting their movies, and also why Timothée Chalamet told David Ehrlich to be nice about Marty Supreme because his mom was there.

This week, we have replaced a still-absent David with Ben Hosley from the Blank Check podcast and producer/creator of the Slow Xmas music project or “bit” that we also discuss on this episode.

You can also buy it digitally at outlets like Bandcamp!
Ben also saw (pun not intended) the Chainsaw Man movie and informs Katey, Da7e, and Patches about this anime hit that beat out Bugonia at the box office when it was released. Then, your three regular co-hosts talk about Hamnet and if their hearts were ripped out of their bodies by pure emotion or not. We talk about the end, I guess, but even the director Chloe Zhao says this movie can’t be spoiled.
