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.

467 – 3 Body Problem, Girls5Eva, What We Talk About When We Talk About Movies Being Back
This week, Da7e’s body has revolted against itself, so Katey, Patches and David rally in the War Room. All three hosts are intrigued by 3 Body Problem on Netflix, even though Patches is probably the most into it. Then, although it started on Peacock, Girls5Eva has also moved to Netflix for its third season! Finally, David wants to talk about what we talk about when we talk about “the movies” being “back.” He explains himself, listen to the segment.

This week, we all learn about Patches’ recent directing project: a segment of a school play for Kindergarten thru fifth graders and discover that kids these days really know how to use their laptops. Then, because no one sent in reviews (or by popular demand, you chose), Katey’s two kids tell us about some Divine Beasts and a strategy to the Yiga Clan hideout in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Finally, all four hosts dig into the new blockbuster box-office smash Dune: Part Two.

Thumbs up for this podcast
A great podcast on [Vin Diesel voice] ‘the movies’ that brings a few of my favorite movie critics and journalists together for hourlong discussions. I look forward to them every week and it’s a lot of fun to watch along with whatever they’re discussing.
