On the M-PAR podcast this week, we get into some Fistacuffs with Michael B. Jordan for Creed III. Big mistake. We have a ghost with Christopher Landon and we sing Babylon with Damien Chazelle and Justin Herwitz.

Plus, the usual movie news and nonsense on the movie podcast that recently learned that traditional tie fighters aren't pressurized and I haven't even seen Mando yet.

Hello, pod, I'm Helena Harret and the good news is I'm back. The bad news is that our beloved leader Chris Hewitt is off today with Little Drinking Game. But, fear not, I'm still joined by two colleagues of such lethal cunning.

First up is James Dyer, a man who credit where it's due has seen more films than me this week.

That is true. I am basking in a righteous glow this week.

Yes, you see how it feels. Imagine feeling like that all the time.

Imagine being like this every week. Yeah, it's pretty special. We're going to get back to the tie fighter pressurization thing in a second.

Okay, yes, we will. Yes. Also with us is a modern woman who also more credit where more credit is also due has also seen films that I have not seen this week. Hello.

This is true. This is true. But in the case of James, I feel like we should mark the day and time of this incredible occasion.

I just, I just, I just, I did fucking coming at me. I fucking thank you. I mean, it's fair. It is fair. But in my defense, I watch approximately 350,000 hours of television every week.

Yes. But yes, I have seen, I've seen two whole films.

I was going to watch a second one then bad internet prevented it. So here we are. But yes, so tie fighters.

So basically last week I went and and MC the escape studios VFX festival, which is one of my favorite things to do every year.

Because I get to hang out for three days with VFX people and they are genuinely two a man and woman and in between delightful people.

I have never met and you know, I'm sure somebody's. Have you never met them? Is it a virtual?

No, I mean, I've never met a bad one. And and maybe there, there must be some out there like by the law of averages.

But like the all the ones I've met have been, have been lovely. And I just, I heard a lot of, you know, insider gossip.

I heard a lot of interesting factoids. I heard about some major blockbusters with totally unfinished effects that were released in the recent past.

Which I shall not name to preserve the guilty. But I also learned that apparently traditional tie fighters are not pressurized. And that's why they wear why they wear those masks.

This is not true of all models of tie fighter. So that weird double one in the what like the time bomber.

I think it's actually a tie border.

Oh, we saw in and or.
