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
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.

469 – Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, Katey’s Vanity Fair Exit, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
This week, David has to sit a week out of the War Room, but it’s just because of visiting in-laws – he is safe and fine! Katey, Patches, and Da7e convene so Patches and Da7e can talk about the not-good, but also not-bad Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, then Katey updates everyone on her departure from Vanity Fair and what her media life is like now. Finally, Katey and Da7e dig into another type of Empire in theaters right now, a Ghostbusters Frozen one since Katey’s eldest child wanted to see it as his first foray into the world of Ghostbusting. There are some spoilers for both Empire movies this week in their segments but those spoilers are VERY slight considering these movies and their visual spectacles.

468 – Da7e’s Semicolon Story, Summer Movie Preview, Road House
This week on a slightly longer than usual episode, Da7e is back to catch up on your e-mails and explain to everyone exactly what happened last week that landed him in the hospital (and how he’s going to be missing movies in theaters for the time being because of an open wound). Then, Patches gets some lightning round style reactions to this summer’s big upcoming tentpole movies. Finally, everyone dives into Doug Liman’s Road House, currently streaming on Amazon.
