    560 – The Social Reckoning, Kelly Clarkson Vs. Store, Love of Your Life

    This week, everyone is back in the war room so Da7e can go on vacation this weekend. First, everyone politely let’s Da7e refer to his notes on why The Social Reckoning isn’t just bad drama, but nobody should actually see it if they want to understand anything about humans, let alone Facebook or America. Then, Katey and David fill in the other two guys about what’s been going between Kelly Clarkson and the (Magic?) store Art of Play in Brooklyn. Finally, the Amazon Studios movie Love of Your Life is flitting in and out of theaters before going streaming which seems like a shame as the movie might deserve to be seen a little bit more Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us, follow on BlueSky!

    559 – Verity, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Digger

    This week, Da7e was in a theater seeing Wild Horse Nine, but your other three hosts made it to the podcast despite being very sleepy! First, it’s time to talk about this past weekend’s domestic box office winner Verity with Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett and Anne Hathaway. Then, David hasn’t played Zero Company (last week’s episode) but has played Star Wars: Galactic Racer and reports back on the new racing game. Finally: Digger. The final movie released in theaters by an independent Warner Bros studio bombed, let’s talk about it. Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us, follow on BlueSky!

    558 – Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, Star Wars: Zero Company, Primetime

    This week, David is the one who can’t make the podcast, so Katey and Patches tell Da7e about the new Mahershala Ali hitman movie Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother (it’s not out in Denver yet so Da7e literally can’t see it). Then, Patches has been playing Star Wars: Zero Company and Da7e is deep into the lore and bond farming. Then, Katey and Da7e weigh in on Primetime, a very sweaty very intense Rob Pattinson performance in a movie about 2006’s To Catch A Predator.

    557 – Patches in Paris, TIFF Awards Season Questions, Resident Evil (2026)

    This week, Da7e can’t make the podcast because of cinema, so your other three hosts convene to talk about the Zach Cregger horror-comedy that’s gnawing on the American Box Office this week. But, before that, a check in with Matt Patches who has some thoughts about movies and nudes (separate topics) after coming home from France, and some more catch up if you haven’t joined the Fitwarriors in the Vulture Movie League quite yet.

    FITWR Festival Season Chat 2026

    554 – Tony, New X-Men Cast, The End of Oak Street

    This week, we assure you David Ehrlich is returning to this podcast. In a return to some sort of format, you left reviews and sent e-mails but it still takes Katey, Patches, and Da7e a good 20 minutes to get started this week. When they do, Katey and Da7e weigh in on the perfectly cromulent Tony, Da7e wonders what (if anything) his cohosts think of the new X-Men Disney announced at their Disney convention, then Katey fills in the boys on the newest Amblin-throwback dinosaur movie in theaters – The End of Oak Street.

    552 – Spider-Man: Brand New Day

    This week, whoops, there’s a new biggest movie in theaters and this one is setting records. Matt Patches and Katey Rich were unable to catch Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theaters, but Katey shows up to referee a discussion between Davids, one Ehrlich who did not like Brand New Day as much as one Da7e who thought it’s a new kind of Spider-Man installment that points towards some good tidings in Marvel’s immediate future.
