“Four sets of guests, Jeremy? Four? That’s insane!” Yes, folks, the last Empire Film Podcast of 2024 is an absolute barnstormer, a two-and-a-half-hour blast of film-related fun just in time for the festive season. And we have more guests than you could possibly fit under the Christmas tree. There’s Mufasa: The Lion King star and former Mid-Sized Sedan Aaron Pierre [22:54 — 41:53 approx]! Nick Park & Merlin Crossingham, directors of Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl [2:17:40 — 2:33:35 approx]! Ben Schwartz and Jeff Fowler, star and director respectively of Sonic The Hedgehog 3 [1:55:50 — 2:16:00 approx]! And Michael Gracey, director of Robbie Williams biopic Better Man, who joins us alongside his movie’s inspiration and subject, Actual Bloody Robbie Williams [1:11:00 — 1:25:21 approx]. Take That!
Yes, folks, it’s a belter, and we haven’t even mentioned the bits in between. Yes, back in the podbooth Chris Hewitt, Helen O’Hara, and James Dyer answer your Christmas movie questions on movies that deserve the Holiday Special treatment, the best Xmas tree scene in cinema, and a hypothetical Kevin McCallister and John McClane switcheroo. Then, this week’s movie news section is dominated by one thing and one thing only. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No. It’s a deep dive into the Superman trailer, of course! All that, and we review all four of the aforementioned guest-y films — you lucky, lucky ducks. Thanks once again for your unerring support this year, listeners. We couldn’t do this without you. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, joyful whatever you do or don’t celebrate between now the novel year, and we’ll be seeing you on January 3rd for the first show of 2025. In the meantime, enjoy this one!
