This week, we’re changing up the format for our 25th Episode Quarter Quell Special! If you haven’t bopped over to FightingInTheWarRoom.com/XXV/ to watch short films from Da7e, Patches and David, queue that up now! Don’t start yet, though, because Katey kicks things off with the story of her film’s absence. After that, Da7e attempts to make something out of nothing, Patches adapts a short story and isn’t sure he’s satisfied and David learns about being a director while on the job, commanding a crew.

Guess what? TOMORROW is our first Fighting In The War Room Quarter Quell!
What is a Quarter Quell?
A podcast Quarter Quell represents a break in our usual format. Every 25 episodes, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e stop talking about current pop culture and cover a topic/movie that let’s you know a bit more about the four of them as people.
It’s humanizing, like naming a cow before the slaughter. Especially this Family Interveiw Quarter Quell, which is pretty humanizing, parents and siblings wise.
Leading up to Fighting In The War Room 25 (June 3rd!), we’ll be seeding our previous Quarter Quells under that other podcast name.
This week, we are amazed and delighted to be celebrating our 100th episode! As we have for every 25th episode– or “Quarter Quell”– we’ve changed up the format, and this time we’ve each brought in one of our family members for a discussion about… well, ourselves. In each of the four segments one of the usual podcasters is replaced by a family member, who is forced to answer questions about how in the world we turned out his way. Katey’s sister reveals how their entire family got obsessed with Titanic, Patches’ father admits he doesn’t share his son’s enthusiasm for The Smurfs, Da7e’s mom shares some of the slightly too explicit home movies he made as a child, and David’s brother-in-law– who likes even more obscure movies than David does!– calls David the most knowledgeable film lover he knows.
You can click here to watch one of the home movies that Da7e made, starting with an appearance by his mom and ending with a brotherly wrestling match. The thumbnail image for this post is Matt Patches as a young child.

Guess what? We’re coming up on our first Fighting In The War Room Quarter Quell!
What is a Quarter Quell?
For fans of The Hunger Games book series, a Quarter Quell takes place every 25 years and something about those Hunger Games is different. In Catching Fire, the movie and the book, the Quarter Quell features a culling from the surviving tributes and…now this has nothing to do with the podcast.
A podcast Quarter Quell represents a break in our usual format. Every 25 episodes, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e stop talking about current pop culture and cover a topic/movie that let’s you know a bit more about the four of them as people.
It’s humanizing, like naming a cow before the slaughter. Especially this Storytelling Quarter Quell, which might be our best. You decide!
Leading up to Fighting In The War Room 25 (June 3rd!), we’ll be seeding our previous Quarter Quells under that other podcast name.
This week, we’re changing up the format for our third Quarter Quell, celebrating our 75th episode by revisiting movies from our past that come with a particularly good story attached. No tidbits this week, no dessert, just a lightning round then storytelling, in which Katey revisits a rainy night in Amsterdam spent watching Charade, Da7e recounts multiple trips to see South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Patches has a particularly strong memory attached to X2: X-Men United, and David is inspired to conduct his own secret tour of Tokyo based on Lost in Translation.
