So Many Good Movies, We Split the Podcast Into Two
The Global Pandemic might not have let up during 2021, but that isn't stopping Fighting In The War Room from spotlighting last year's great movies. Some of us got to go to theaters this year (hell, David went to Cannes), and some were stuck inside. Since 3 out of 4 of your hosts are dealing with COVID in the house (and children) let's distract with a discussion and reccommendation of great films. Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us on Twitter: follow the show (@FITWR), Katey (@KateyRich), Patches (@misterpatches), Da7e (@da7e) and David (@davidehrlich ).

376 – Licorice Pizza, Matrix: Resurrections, Don’t Look Up
Episodes | | 6. January, 2022
This week, we're back for 2022, a year where we're going to have to prove to Time Magazine we're still a good podcast. Kicking off this year, we have three movies that a lot of Twitter seems to be getting all wrong. First – most everyone liked Licorice Pizza except maybe Da7e who wanted a bit more "there" there. Then, Matrix: Resurrections is good and that's the truth. Finally, director Adam McKay is mad at everyone with Don't Look Up, a snarky comedy currently on Netflix.

375 – The Anniversary Quell
Episodes | | 24. December, 2021
Four Movies From 2011 ….ish
It's another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell!
Instead of capping off the year with our annual Top Tens, we've pushed that episode back into January for film catch-up and instead delivered another Quarter Quell! This installment, each host brings a movie from FITWR's first year of podcasting, which went from being called an Kino Katey Audio Blog to Operation Kino before becoming Fighting In the War Room. Travel back to late 2010 through Summer 2011 as your hosts revisit 127 Hours, Limitless, Water for Elephants, and Super 8. Four movies not based on pre-existing IP…well, I guess 127 Hours was a book, but you'll get it.
For all the films EXCEPT 127 hours, the segment kicks off with a long-lost clip from the original podcast with horrible audio.

374.95 – Nightmare Alley, Polar Express Still Bad, Spider-Man: No Way Home
Episodes | | 17. December, 2021
This week, on the final "normal" Fighting in the War Room of the year, we held the episode back until Spider-Man: No Way Home was in theaters so we could do a Segment 3 FULL OF SPOILERS as there's not a lot to talk about that wouldn't be considered a spoiler in this very large movie. But before that, Katey, Patches, Da7e, and David dive into Nightmare Alley, which is also out in theaters this week, and Katey uses the holiday podcast real estate to remind us Polar Express is still bad.
