VF’s senior Hollywood correspondent Julie Miller joins David and Richard to discuss the two films as well as the impressive third season of Hacks, premiering Thursday on Max after a two-year-long break, and how it defines a (comedy) Emmy race that’s increasingly prioritizing satisfying drama over belly laughs.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @vfawardsinsiderFollow our hosts: @rilaws, @beccamford, @davidcanfield97Our editor and producer is Brett Fuchs
