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).

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.

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.

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.
