This week’s episode of the Empire Podcast brings with it a hat-trick of stars from one movie, the wickedly talented lead of another, and one Chris Hewitt to interview them all. First up, via the magic of Zoom, Chris chats to Tornado and Slow Horses star Jack Lowden about using his own accent, remembering his lines, and pitching his performance to the budget-friendly seats in the theatre. [26:15 — 39:20 approx.] Then, our junket junkie gets his next fix by sitting down in person with Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed to talk about their experiences playing improvisers who go undercover as bogus cops in Prime Video’s up-to-date darkly comic thriller Deep Cover. [1:00:00 — 1:15:52 approx.]
Either side of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth by James Dyer, Alex Godfrey and Empire Podcast debutant (and Social Media Editor) Harry Stainer for another confused episode in which the gang discuss the best and worst retcons; debate the naming convention of a certain social media platform; run their eye over the week’s movie news, including Robert Eggers’ A Christmas Carol, Matthew McConaughey’s acting return in The Lost Bus‘ trailer, and Incredibles 3 getting a director; and find time to review Deep Cover, Sydney Sweeney Apple TV+ thriller Echo Valley, Tornado, and Dean DeBlois’ live-action How To Train Your Dragon. Oh, and there’s some extreme *checks notes* improv, so yeah… be warned. Enjoy.
You can listen to this week’s episode (which, if you’re counting, is #672) on the pod app of your choice.
