Summary

This week, everyone is back in the War Room! The group rebounds from the Manosphere by talking about White Lotus Season 3, which aired on HBO/through Max, with full spoilers. Then, Katey has a report from the family trip to Legoland and a review from Charlie and Sam of A Minecraft Movie since Katey didn’t get to see it. David (who also saw A Minecraft Movie) is now wondering if video game movies are poised for a run of blockbusters like superheroes did a decade ago.
