Apr 18, 2024
Show notes
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
Apr 03, 2024
Show notes
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.
