This week’s episode of the freshly award-losing Empire Film Podcast finds the podteam lick their wounds after a demoralising defeat in the Best Podcast (Consumer) category at the BSMEs earlier in the week. How do they do this? Why, by talking about movies of course! Yes, undeterred by their unwinning streak, Chris Hewitt is joined in the podbooth by James Dyer and Helen O’Hara for another messy episode in which the team discuss the week’s movie news (including trailers for *deep breath* Wicked: For Good, Alien: Earth, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Wake Up Dead Man, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein); tackle a listener question about actors who might be able to reprise their iconic animation roles in live-action; deal with another question, from James, that shakes Helen and Chris to the core; and review Ballerina: From The World Of John Wick, Dangerous Animals, and Predator: KIller Of Killers.
Oh, and in case our award losing team of podding mavericks alone isn’t enough to knock your socks off, then we’ve a mini guestapalooza for you as well this week. Chris has a lovely pair of chats for your listening delectation, with Dangerous Animals star Jai Courtney up first to talk about playing a shark feeding serial killer. [25:17 — 40:27 approx.] Then, he’s back on the beat to get the skinny on John Wick spin-off Ballerina star — and all-round legend — Ian McShane. [1:00:03 — 1:14:56 approx.] Plus! The wonderful Harry Stainer makes his pod debut as he talks to How To Train Your Dragon director Dean DeBlois about bringing Hiccup, Toothless, and the Isle of Berk from the animated world to live-action. [1:38:49 — 1:55:16 approx.] Enjoy!
