The following podcast contains explicit language.

Hello, this is Dana Steven, Slate's movie critic, here with a Slate spoiler special podcast on MockingJ Part 1, the third movie in the four-part Hunger Game series.

And joining me to talk about it is Slate's TV critic Willa Paskin.

Hey, Willa.

Hey.

Have we ever spoiled a movie together before?

I can't remember.

Way before I even worked here.

I think we ever spoiled a movie together before? I can't remember. Way before I even worked here. I think we maybe spoiled.

It's complicated with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin.

Which is I remember I completely loved with no real defense for why.

Oh, it's lovable.

It's completely charming.

But it's very nice to be creating our work from this, I don't know what to call it, the new Slate cast box, this dark foam.

It's like the arty new little zone that's been constructed in the Slate office for the second podcast of the day being made at one time because Slate Podcasts have now spiraled into such cosmic proportions.

We have so many of them that we can't all use our main studio at the same time.

So it's kind of cool to be in this dark foam room with you and breaking it in.

I know what should be talking about hushed voices maybe.

Not too hushed.

We got to make ourselves heard.

So Mocking Jay, this is the third movie in a four-part series

from three books so i've wanted to start off by talking about what dan coy says either it's late
