This week’s Empire Podcast is the second of the year to fall on a Friday the 13th (November will complete the hat-trick), and so the podteam — Chris Hewitt, Helen O’Hara, James Dyer, and Ben Travis — discuss the life and work of one Jason Voorhees, and head off in a rather unexpected direction. Speaking of unexpected directions, they also pop off to space to discuss their favourite movie astronauts (SPOILERS for some space films, including Gravity), run their collective eye over the week’s movie news, including the new Disclosure Day trailer, Quentin Tarantino’s newly-announced play, and Arnie’s perhaps premature announcement of King Conan. They also review War Machine (again, with a SPOILER WARNING attached), Reminders Of Him, and How To Make A Killing. And guest-wise, Chris sits down with the great Tim Roth, star of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (from 44:40 — 1:01:50 approx.) to talk about improvising the movie’s opening line, not watching his own movies, and his love of Would I Lie To You? Which is, in fact, true. 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 #708) on the pod app of your choice. There, you’ll also find the latest episode of new Empire Pod regular The Interviews, the most recent instalment of which boasts chats with The Bride! director-star duo Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jessie Buckley.
