We didn’t say they were good movies.

It’s another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell! But the FIRST one since being named one of TIME Magazine’s Top 100 Podcasts of All Time…

For this edition of a FITWR Quarter Quell, each host brought a movie about a subject that actually scares them. Katey confronts her fear that her kids might get hit by cars with 1989’s Pet Semetary, David is worried about gun violence in schools with 2003’s Elephant, Da7e is worried about his inner monsters with 1980’s The Shining, and Patches is concerned about colon cancer with 2011’s A Little Bit of Heaven.

If you would like to attend FIGHTING IN THE WAR ROOM LIVE AT THE DENVER FILM FESTIVAL on Tuesday November 4th at 3PM Mountain Time at The Tattered Cover on Colfax, get tickets here!

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.

Making the hosts watch movies they wouldn’t like on paper

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.
