This week sees the release of Travis Knight’s live-action adaptation of 80s cartoon (and toy line), Masters Of The Universe, so our very own He-Man, Chris Hewitt, sits down on Zoom for a fun chat about films and football with the actual He-Man, Nicholas Galitzine, and Teela, Camila Mendes. [46:56 — 59:46 approx.] Then, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O’Hara, James Dyer, and He-Dan, Dan Jolin, for a fun episode in which they discuss their favourite movie swords, take a look at the week’s movie news including the trailer for Adam Wingard’s Onslaught (aka The Guest 2?), and the sensational box office for Backrooms and Obsession. Finally, they review Masters Of The Universe, Brett Goldstein and J-Lo rom-com Office Romance, Savage House, Madfabulous, and Scary Movie. 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 #720) 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 is a veritable Directorpalooza, in which The Mandalorian And Grogu director Jon Favreau tells Chris Hewitt in spoilery detail all about his intentions behind the first big-screen Star Wars film in seven years. Then, Chris leaps onto Zoom to have a lovely natter with the great Joe Dante about his beloved (eventually) 1987 sci-fi comedy, InnerSpace, which is out now on 4K UHD, and English director Mike Figgis about his hard-hitting, Oscar-winning drama, Leaving Las Vegas, which has also received the 4K UHD treatment. The Figgis chat is an extended excerpt from an hour-long deep dive into the movie which, like the Favreau interview and Team Empire diving deep into The Mandalorian And Grogu, can be found over on our spoiler special feed. You lucky, lucky ducks!
