Summary
This week, Patches was felled by solo-parenting, so Katey, David, and Da7e make it to the war room. Katey found a puzzling post on threads and Da7e and David try to speculate about just what a “90s Summer” would have actually been. Then, David has since seen Backrooms as have (checks box office numbers) a LOT of you, so Ehrlich gets to throw his thoughts into the endless hallways. Then, in Segment Three, Katey wants to talk about Pressure (which is NOT the one about aliens, Da7e learns) and Da7e wants to talk about I Love Boosters, so they slam them into one segment without pausing for a music break.

| 0:00.0 | I have the power. |
| 0:03.5 | I, like, halfway through, realize I don't yell anymore at the beginning. |
| 0:07.1 | In honor of Masters of the Universe, in theaters this weekend, |
| 0:10.4 | what's another movie from 1987 that needs a remake? |
| 0:15.0 | I'm Danny Rich. |
| 0:15.6 | I'm looking forward to the, uh, to the interesting reboot of He-Man where he doesn't yell. |
| 0:19.6 | I have the power. |
| 0:20.3 | He just cautiously said it in the stops himself. |
| 0:37.9 | And then I'm going to throw out. I realize this is a sacriolish to some people, but a little while ago they announced that Kim Rosenstock, who's one of the people who worked on the Great Dying for Sex, was working on a Dirty Dancing remake that Jennifer Gray has agreed to appear in some way. And I would like to say that if you make a good one, |
| 0:40.1 | you could do a dirty dancing reaic every 15 years, |
| 0:40.9 | and that would be fine. |
| 0:57.5 | So bring it on. Hey. To be Dave with the Seven, Patches isn't here this week. We'll maybe talk about it. But I'm going with Harry and the Henderson's, because more families need to raise big foot. And I like large animatronic big feet being domesticated and I am David Ehrlich and I would go with Wings of Desire |
| 1:08.9 | had that not already been remade. So I, I, can I still, actually, I'm still going to go with Wings of Desire. Why not? That's fine, yeah. I think we need another Wings of Desiremen. You do one of those every 15 years also. Why not? Every generation needs to know what a peach tastes like to you. Isn't that face, or do they do that in City of Angels also? I believe it's just City of Angels. Face off is I could eat a peach for hours. Yeah, that's it. It was a big peach cage 90s. So we'll talk about it, fighting in the war room. You can't fight in here. This is the war room. Fine, I can hear you now, Dimitri. I can no longer sit back and allow. Clear and plain and coming through fine. Subversion. I'm coming through fine, too, eh? And the international conspiracy. Well, then, as you say, we're both coming through fine. The sap and impurify. I agree with you. |
| 2:02.0 | It's great to be fine. |
| 2:04.3 | All of our precious bodily fluids. |

| 2:09.2 | Hello and welcome to fighting in the war room episode 545. |
| 2:12.9 | I'm definitely using the same microphone input I was when you heard me earlier. |
| 2:15.0 | And it's the week of Wednesday, June 3rd. That is the day that in 1943, a bomb of 60 from the Los Angeles Naval Reserve Armory beat up everyone perceived to be Hispanic starting the week-long zootsuit-suit riots. |
| 2:26.9 | When I listened to that Scott song in the 90s, I had no idea. There was such a horrifying backstory. |
| 2:33.4 | I was, you know, I am a Gonzalez and should |
