This week’s Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt, Helen O’Hara, and James Dyer pack the sunscreen, flip-flops, and oversized hats into a tiny bag as they discuss some of the movie holidays they’d like to take. And yes, they somehow manage to do this without mentioning Roman Holiday, The Holiday, M. Hulot’s Holiday, or indeed Mr Bean’s Holiday. Any film with the word ‘holiday’ in it, basically, the colossal eejits. They’ve been placed on gardening leave as a result. But before that, they also discuss the week’s movie news, including 24 Jump Street (with a special cameo), and review Steven Spielberg’s latest movie, Disclosure Day, plus Jorma Taccone’s Over Your Dead Body, and Peter Mullan drama, The Fall Of Sir Douglas Weatherford. Speaking of Spielberg, Disclosure Day writer David Koepp returns to the podbooth to tell Chris all about how this latest slice of sci-fi came to life. [46:26 — 1:06:00] Enjoy.
And if all of the above isn’t quite enough Empire Podcast for you, then there’s plenty more where that came from. You can listen to this week’s episode (which, if you’re counting, is #721) on the pod app of your choice. There, you’ll also find the latest episode of Empire Pod regular The Interviews, in which we bring you even more chat with the stars and filmmakers behind each week’s biggest movies. The most recent edition offers up a trio of terrific interviews and sees Chris Hewitt talks to Brett Goldstein, star and co-writer of Office Romance, alongside his director Ol Parker, about C-bombs (of which this interview contains plenty.) Then, to our great delight, Actual Rock Star Ben Gibbard, frontman of Death Cab For Cutie, pops into the podbooth to have a chat with Beth Webb about his love of movies, working with the late, great Lynn Shelton, and his band’s new album, I Built You A Tower. Finally, we also bring you a big old chunk of Chris’ spoiler special interview with Masters Of The Universe director, Travis Knight, aka He-Director.
