In this edition, a video essay explains how official credits for something like Solo: A Star Wars Story work when a director is replaced on a big production. Plus, Deadpool took over The Late Show monologue from Stephen Colbert, and Jamie Foxx sits down to talk about Black Panther with Chadwick Boseman.
First up, a new video essay from The Royal Ocean Film Society takes a look at how the official credits for a movie like Solo: A Star Wars Story work due to the rules in place by the Directors Guild of America. They explain why and likely how Ron Howard ended up with a director's credit on the movie besides the fact that Phil Lord & Chris Miller only wanted executive producer credits.
Next up, Deadpool made a special appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and the Merc with a Mouth ended up taking over the monologue from the comedian with hilarious results.
