    A Fighting In The War Room Show (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes)

    This week, Patches and Da7e have been left alone again, so they invite returning guest Jordan Hoffman back onto the show for a free-form discussion about recasting Gilligan’s Island, Starcrash and torrent ethics, Unfrosted again, cereals (and hot cereals), Blue Angels and Deep Sky in IMAX, solar flares and go bags, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (with a spoiler section!), how to stay awake in screenings, and bad things in food. Most importantly, they do not cancel the podcast.

    474 – Unfrosted, Under the Bridge, The Fall Guy

    This week, all four hosts are together (pre-Cannes) to fight in the war room. First, Patches and David dig into opposing views of Jerry Seinfeld’s Unfrosted on Netflix. Then, Katey recommends Hulu’s Under the Bridge series before Da7e joins in on the conversation so everyone can discuss The Fall Guy and why the box office for it last weekend was so lackluster. Are summer movies not back?

    473 – Fallout on TV, Phantom Menace is back!, Challengers

    This week, Katey and David are both attempting to watch Amazon Studios Fallout adaptation and Matt Patches, who has seen the whole thing, tries to manage their expectations. Then, Da7e is going back to the theaters to watch Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace this weekend and suggests some reasons why. Finally, everyone saw Challengers (in theaters now!) and gets together for a discussion about the movie that doesn’t spoil the ending.

    472 – Netflix’s Blockbuster Problem, Bluey’s “Surprise,” Shogun

    472 – Netflix’s Blockbuster Problem, Bluey’s “Surprise,” Shogun

    This week, in a slightly later podcast than usual, the whole gang gets together in the War Room. First, Patches and David both saw Rebel Moon: The Scargiver (that’s part two of Rebel Moon) and neither liked it very much, which has us all debating what Netflix’s blockbuster movie strategy is. Then, Bluey had a surprise episode (not so surprising if you listened to Da7e last week) and it’s sparked a very silly online debate amongst Bluey adults. Finally, Katey, Da7e, and David watched all of Shogun (Fox on Hulu on Disney Plus) and touch base to sing its praises with some mild-spoilers peppered in. Watch Shogun!

    471 – Bluey, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Civil War

    This week, everyone jumps in to check in on Bluey (streaming on Disney Plus) in honor of the series longest episode to date “The Sign,” which functions as a possible finale (but likely isn’t). Then, David reports back from director Guy Richie’s very busy period with some thoughts on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare before all four hosts jump into a war of their own with Alex Garland’s latest Civil War, currently in theaters.

    470 – Ripley, Eclipse 2024, Girls State

    This week, the whole crew is back together to catch up on some e-mails (opinions expressed by Da7e in the e-mail response section do not represent the opinions of other Fighting In The War Room hosts or anyone previously associated with the podcast or who may appear on the podcast in the future) then dive into Ripley the new limited series on Netflix. For a mini-segment, Patches ask that we all reflect on this week’s solar eclipse, then all the hosts dive into Apple TV Plus’ new documentary Girls State (opinions expressed by Da7e in the e-mail response section do not represent the opinions of other Fighting In The War Room hosts or anyone previously associated with the podcast or who may appear on the podcast in the future).
