About this episode

The episode discusses the recent struggles in console gaming, reviews of 'Minions and Monsters', and insights on 'The Invite'.

This week, David can’t make it to the War Room, but is locked in with the rest of the hosts for next week’s QUARTER QUELL – 1976. On this episode, Da7e has questions for Patches about the no-good-very-bad news for the console gaming industry over the past couple of weeks. Then, Katey reports on Minions and Monsters, which sounds fun but is underperforming at the box office. Then, Katey and Da7e talk about The Invite, expanding to more theaters this weekend and though since they disclose the premise the trailer is hinting at, consider it LIGHT SPOILERS, I guess.
