Hello and

Hello and in our New York studio we have our film award season podcast from vanity fare and panoply I am Katie Rich the deputy editor of vanity fair

and in our New York studio we have our film critic Richard Lawson

hello and also on the line we have Joanna Robinson our staff writer senior staff writer hello Hello. and you are envoy to the TV world.

We have the last of our Emmys

for your consideration series of interviews.

We'll talk by a little bit later,

but Richard talked to David Harbor,

the Star of Stranger Things,

and I talked to Zach Woods, one of the many stars at Silicon Valley and both of those were really fun conversations.

But before we really dive into TV at all, there's kind of some crazy news in the film world that it felt like we had to dive into. I'm not sure that the

Han Solo spinoff movie ever would have really been an Oscar contender and thus

in the purview of this show but it's crazy news that Phil Lord and Chris

Miller were fired by Lucasfilm as directors of this movie with

apparently three weeks left to go in shooting. This news broke last night there's already

some really fascinating like unsourced stories from the set about what happened

and how they maybe clash with

Kathleen Kennedy and Lawrence Kazden. Joanna may be starting with you since you

wrote about it last night. How crazy is this in like the annals of directors

getting fired from movies? Absolutely insane because there's like three weeks left of production.

Or that's what was scheduled left of production.

Who knows how many weeks they're gonna do now.
