This week, everyone is back in the War Room after Jizz Fest ’24 and there are movies to discuss. First, Da7e and David have seen Venom: The Last Dance, and – ya know – it is what it is, which is a movie with Venom in it. Then, Da7e needs to warn you off Here, which is using “A.I.” but can’t focus Robert Zemeckis. Then, all four hosts get into a spoiler-free discussion of Anora as the movie expands into more theaters soon.
