525 – The Movies About Subjects That Scare Us Quell

We didn’t say they were good movies.

It’s another Fighting in The War Room Quarter Quell! But the FIRST one since being named one of TIME Magazine’s Top 100 Podcasts of All Time…

For this edition of a FITWR Quarter Quell, each host brought a movie about a subject that actually scares them. Katey confronts her fear that her kids might get hit by cars with 1989’s Pet Semetary, David is worried about gun violence in schools with 2003’s Elephant, Da7e is worried about his inner monsters with 1980’s The Shining, and Patches is concerned about colon cancer with 2011’s A Little Bit of Heaven.

If you would like to attend FIGHTING IN THE WAR ROOM LIVE AT THE DENVER FILM FESTIVAL on Tuesday November 4th at 3PM Mountain Time at The Tattered Cover on Colfax, get tickets here!
