538 – The Bride!, undertone, Hoppers

Author: Katey, Matt, Da7e and David March 11, 2026 Duration: 1:12:46





This week, Da7e saw some movies, I guess. First, Da7e tries to sell David, Patches, and Katey on The Bride! which is the kind of big swings that should be happening in early March, says he. Then, Da7e saw undertone an A24 horror movie about a podcast gone wrong and thinks people might like it if they see it with good sound. Then, the boys and some of the boys’ children saw Hoppers and it seems to have worked magic on audiences…except for Da7e.

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.
