This week’s episode of the Empire Podcast will haunt your nightmares (but in a good way) as Chris Hewitt returns to the host chair just in time to tackle a Mount Rushmore question about the best Final Girls in horror movies with Beth Webb and Amon Warmann. Their final choices may shock you, but that’s nothing compared to the bit where Chris finds himself explaining Freddy Krueger to Amon, who has never seen a Nightmare On Elm Street movie. Terrifying stuff!
Elsewhere in the show, our intrepid trio also discuss the week’s movie news (hello, Marty Supreme trailer!), and review Celine Song’s Materialists, Nobody 2, and Together, the horror movie in which Dave Franco and Alison Brie literally fuse together. Which wasn’t weird at all for the real-life married couple, who also guest on this week’s episode, talking to Mike Muncer about that very singular experience. [1:03:58 — 1:15:10 approx.] And, finally on the guest front, Harry Stainer sits down with Celine Song to talk about her wonderful modern movie Materialists — and the nature of love. Heavy, man. [29:02 — 44:40 approx] Enjoy, and… er… sorry about the spooky child-like singing.
