513 – Predator: Killer of Killers, Mountainhead, From The World of John Wick: Ballerina

Author: Katey, Matt, Da7e and David June 7, 2025 Duration: 1:09:24





This week, let’s talk about some movies. NOW STREAMING on Hulu is the animated Predator: Killer of Killers, which Patches and David greatly enjoyed and tell Da7e and Katey about. Then, Katey got Da7e and Patches to watch Mountainhead on Max for the podcast and despite four good performances, the movie makes Da7e really mad (the other two liked it more). Finally, the Daves enlighten you on From the World of John WickL Ballerina (the movie in theaters this weekend) with some light but not major spoilers.

Every other week, the lively and often heated conversation begins around the microphones. Fighting In The War Room: A Movies And Pop Culture Podcast is exactly what it sounds like: a spirited, no-holds-barred debate between four distinct critical voices. Hosts Katey, Matt, Da7e, and David-each a prolific critic with their own sharp perspective-dive into the latest film releases, dissect trending TV, and unpack the pop culture moments everyone is talking about. The dynamic is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on a passionate, informed, and frequently hilarious argument among friends who happen to know everything about movies. Alongside their regular bi-weekly deep dives, they occasionally sit down with very special guests from across the industry, adding even more fuel to the fire. Listening to this podcast feels like being part of the conversation, where strong opinions are welcomed and the analysis is always as entertaining as it is insightful. You’re not just getting four reviews in one; you’re getting the clash and synthesis of ideas that happens when smart, film-obsessed people refuse to agree quietly.
