Either side of that, Chris is also joined in the podbooth by Helen O&#8217;Hara, James Dyer and, visiting us from the US of A, Anthony Breznican, who makes his pod debut in excellent fashion. Our intrepid quartet discuss the week&#8217;s movie news, including the new issue of Empire and Steven Soderbergh stepping in on The Batman Part II, chat about their favourite documentaries, review <em>Wildwood<\/em>, <em>Ghosts: The Possession Of Button House<\/em>, <em>Clayface<\/em>, <em>Klara And The Sun<\/em>, and <em>Fatherland<\/em>, and take a listener question from a most unusual source. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>And if all of the above isn&#8217;t quite enough Empire Podcast for you, then there&#8217;s plenty more where that came from. You can listen to this week&#8217;s episode (which, if you&#8217;re counting, is #739) on&nbsp;the pod app of your choice. There, you&#8217;ll also find the latest episode of Empire Pod regular&nbsp;The Interviews. This week&#8217;s episode sees two dynamic duos drop in for lovely cinema-connected chats. First, Chris Hewitt comes face-to-face with Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin, the actors who play out a fractious father-son relationship in Brian Duffield&#8217;s <em>Whalefall<\/em>, in which Abrams gets trapped inside the stomach of a sperm whale, and they talk about what scares them as actors, filming inside a giant stomach, and more. Then, Alex Godfrey has a lovely chat, some of it concerning pick &amp; mix, with Kitao Sakurai and Andrew Koji, the director and star respectively of <em>Street Fighter<\/em>, the film which adapts the classic fighting video game.
