479 – A Quiet Place: Day One, Inside Out 2 vs Despicable Me 4, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
This week, Da7e and Katey took in A Quiet Place: Day One in theaters and were pleasantly surprised. Katey took her kids to Despicable Me 4 and David took his kid to Inside Out 2, did either of these movies play better to the younger crowd? Finally, the dudes took in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix and Katey watched the original Beverly Hills Cop on Netflix, so let’s talk about this very odd sequel.

477 – Scavenger’s Reign, New Zelda Game Announced!, Inside Out 2
This week, David is back and he’s taken up the cause of the animated series Scavengers Reign, so he and Patches make the case why this show should get a second life on Netflix after being cancelled by Max. There’s a new Legend of Zelda game called Echoes of Wisdom coming out in September! Are Katey’s kids, Patches, and Da7e ready for the first Zelda-lead installment? Finally, everyone saw Inside Out 2 and some hosts liked it more than others.

476 – Movie Business Check-In, The Acolyte, Hit Man
This week, we lost David again as the remaining co-hosts dive into some new business developments around Hollywood. Sony has bought the Alamo Drafthouse theater chain (vertical integration, here we come!) and no one has bought Paramount yet – what’s happening!?! Then, Patches and Da7e try to describe what’s happening on Disney Plus with The Acolyte before Katey jumps in the fray and they all talk about Hit Man the new Richard Linklater movie that is now on Netflix – SPOILERS for Hit Man begin at 53 minutes in – go see, or stream, the movie!

475 – The Elder Millennial Canon Quell
What movies define our generation?
It’s another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell!
For this edition of a FITWR Quarter Quell, each host brings a movie they think belongs in the “Elder Millennial Canon” of films. After a brief discussion of what that could possibly mean and a clarification that each movie needs at least three “yay” votes to qualify, the hosts jump in on Bring it On, Napoleon Dynamite, Marie Antoinette, and (500) Days of Summer.

474.5 – Cannes Report, Loot Season 2, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
This week, David is back from the Cannes Film Festival and is ready to report back to the podcast (From Megalopolis to Anora)! Also, Katey has seen Season 2 of Loot on Apple TV Plus and deemed it a worthy sitcom. Finally, all four hosts dig into Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga after this weekend’s low-grossing Memorial Day Box Office seems to say people aren’t ready to go to theaters for big R-rated blockbusters quite yet (lookout Deadpool?).

Customer Reviews
Such great heights! And the lows aren’t even that low!
I’ve been listening to the “Elder Millennial” ep for about an hour but haven’t made it past the first minute and a half yet. Incredible cover Patches, bravo! The cover was so good it got me to write my first review in 7 years of listening to the pod. My sister recommended FITWR to me way back. Thank you Morgan for your great taste / recommendations and thanks to the hosts for putting out a great show every week (give or take). Go Celtics!
David ehlrich is the worst
Dave with a 7, Katie Rich, and Matt Patches rule. David Ehrlich is the film critic version of comic book store guy from the Simpsons. And no he’s not the critic from “the critic.” Any episode he’s not in is 5 stars.
A great show, but one note…
Its been about six months since I checked in on FITW, a great podcast that ebbs and flows in my listening rotation, and returning with some distance made something stand out to my ears. How does Ehrlich still sound like he’s recording from inside an empty aquarium tank? It’s 2024, can we finally upgrade your audio situation? Thank you all for your hours of entertainment and insightful discussions :)
