| 6/19/26 | 547 – The Death of Robin Hood, Patches didn’t see Disclosure Day, Disclosure Day | This week, all four hosts are back in the War Room (but still no guests). David, Da7e, and Katey discuss the new Hugh Jackman-starring The Death Of Robin Hood which is violent and melancholy. Then, Patches didn’t get to see Disclosure Day because of a malfunctioning IMAX projector but he did watch Heavenly Creatures at 5AM. Finally, your hosts that did see Disclosure Day (FULL SPOILERS) dig into it, with 2/3rds of the reviewers more positive than the remaining third.

| 2/13/26 | 535 – “Wuthering Heights” and the Heights of Cairn | This week, David continues his streak on what he insists is his third of seven consecutive weeks on the podcast, but Katey Rich had to be in Los Angeles for awards stuff. David and Patches listen to Da7e talk about Emerald Fennell’s very goopy “Wuthering Heights,” then Patches and David talk about the zen of an independent game named Cairn where you climb a mountain.

| 2/5/26 | 534 – Disneyland Handcrafted, The Moment, The Perfect Neighbor | This week, David continues what he insists is his second of seven consecutive weeks on the podcast, and it turns out it’s because he’s on book leave. After talking about Heater Rivalry again because you wrote in about it, three of the hosts discuss Disneyland Handcrafted a new collection of documentary footage available on Disney Plus and YouTube. Then, Da7e saw the Charli XCX movie The Moment and since it’s a mockumentary it kind of fits with the topic (enough for a mini segment) before they all jump into Oscar doc frontrunner The Perfect Neighbor, which is on Netflix right now. Because of the nature of documentaries and this podcast, we assume you know Walt Dinsney succeeded in making Disneyland, Charli XCX released an album called brat in 2024, and The Perfect Neighbor includes a shooting and arrest as viewed through police body cam footage. We don’t think these are spoilers. Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us, follow on BlueSky!

| 1/29/26 | 533 – Sundance Report 2026, Heated Rivalry Conclusion, The Secret Agent | This week, David begins what he claimed was seven consecutive weeks on the podcast by giving an overview of what he saw at the final Park City Sundance. He mentions Closure, I Want Your Sex, The Invite, The Shitheads, Rachel Lambert’s Carousel, Zi, Josephine and The History of Concrete (and didn’t seem to like too much). Then, Da7e did his gay hockey homework and is going to treat Katey’s recommendations on the show much more seriously in the future. Finally, the group dives into THE SECRET AGENT after debating if people can actually still see it in theater. Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us, follow on BlueSky!

| 1/22/26 | A Chat with Katey and Da7e | This week, Katey and Da7e were the only hosts who could make it to the war room, so instead of doing a traditional episode, the two talk about how there’s some good television out there! Da7e finally started Heated Rivalry (Katey has seen it all), and Katey tries to explain why this gay hockey show hooks people. Then, Da7e talks about a horror book he read, and by the by the two start talking about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on HBO and The Pitt season 2 on…oh shit, are we just watching HBO?. Finally, Katey asks what’s up with this 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and Da7e explains the first half of the movie currently in theaters trying to bait everyone into watching the second half.

| 1/14/26 | Top Tens 2025 | “Did that come out yet?” We’re back at it again, ranking our favorite movies of last year in one long podcast! This year, we even beat David’s video countdown by about a week, so we’re historically ahead of schedule. Below you will find this year’s format with timestamps for when we discuss a particular entry (Da7e tried to make it so the movies were only discussed during their highest placement). We can’t help but make hints about The Bone Temple and clarify if Katey Rich was invited to an awards dinner or not along the way.
