This week’s episode of the Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt mark the release of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning by doing a non-spoiler, non-epic (less than 20 minutes!) chat with that film’s director, the legendarily loquacious Christopher McQuarrie. [26:00 — 43:06 approx.] And that’s not the only interview we’ve got for you on this week’s veritable guestapalooza, nuh-uh. Chris also has a lovely natter with the stars of the up-to-date Wes Anderson film, The Phoenician Scheme, Benicio del Toro and Michael Cera. [1:01:37 — 1:15:35 approx.] And then, right at the end of the show, we also bring you an extended excerpt from our Andor Season 2 spoiler chat with showrunner, creator, and all round frosty dude Tony Gilroy, who tells Ben Travis all about the fates of certain characters. Do not listen if you haven’t seen the miracle that is Andor! [1:43:43 — 1:56:02 approx.]
Elsewhere, Chris is joined back in the podbooth by Helen O’Hara, James Dyer, and John Nugent for another fun episode in which the gang talk about Cannes and Tom Cruise; tackle a listener question on dream Cruise sequels; and run their collective eye over the week’s movie news, including a slew of Sunrise On The Reaping castings, the announcement of a up-to-date Damien Chazelle movie, Carey Mulligan heading to Narnia, and Jalmari Helander’s Rambo origin movie. All that, plus the team cast a critical eye over The Final Reckoning, The Phoenician Scheme, Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch remake, and Guy Ritchie’s Fountain Of Youth in the reviews section. You lucky, lucky lot! Enjoy.
