In this edition, a group of visual effects artists react to and break down some recent examples of great and terrible work on television and the big screen. Plus, an extensive featurette goes behind the scenes of the making of the new Suspiria, and Captain America franchise star Anthony Mackie takes a lie detector test.

First up, the visual effects artists from Corridor Crew take a look at some examples of amazing visual effects from Game of Thrones, but they also beat a dead horse by taking jabs at the perplexing visual effects of the new Sonic the Hedgehog trailer. There’s plenty to learn here about how to make visual effects look real and all the details that must be considered to pull it off.

Finally, Anthony Mackie sat down to participate in Vanity Fair’s lie detector test. Was he roommates with Lee Pace in high school and college? Does he think North Carolina has better barbecue than Louisiana? Does he have a favorite child? Was Don Cheadle a diva? Does he think Eminem is a better rapper than Kendrick Lamar? What are the answers, and does he tell the truth?
