Summary

This week, everyone is back in the War Room. First, Patches shared and Guardian article about Steven Soderbergh bemoaning the state of current “movies for adults” and we wonder if it might not be a little overblown (check out the article here). Then, Katey updates the boys on the new Oscar voting rules (and the likely non-enforcement) before the guys talk about Sinners. Ryan Coogler’s movie is making money but is it dun-dun-dun the end of the studio system…somehow?
