Ghostbusters Reunite and More: A Recap of the Latest Empire Podcast Episode

It’s a question as old as time: Who ya gonna call? And an equally aged answer: Ghostbusters! Or, in the case of this week’s Empire Podcast, not Ghostbusters but rather a Ghostbuster. And not just any old Ghostbuster, either — no sirree! The heart of the Ghostbusters and legendary co-creator of the franchise Dan Aykroyd jumps on the blower with our very own ecto one, Chris Hewitt, to talk about the upcoming Ghostbusters In Concert show at the Royal Albert Hall, webbed feet, and writing one of the greatest comedies of all time [21:55 – 41:32 approx]. Our other guest in this double ft. week is Benjamin Ree, the director of the extraordinarily moving documentary The Remarkable Life Of Ibelin, which tells the incredible story of a young Norwegian man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and the second life he created for himself within the vast expanses of Azeroth in MMORPG World Of Warcraft [1:11:29 – 1:28:29 approx].

Podcast Recap and Reviews

Either side of those interviews, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O’Hara and James Dyer for the final spooky season pod of the year. But fear not, fraidy-cats, it’s actually not a particularly chilling episode as this week’s listener question sees Chris and his colleagues of such lethal cunning discussing the best non-horror films made by horror filmmakers. And it’s a similarly scare-free zone in the reviews section too as the team tackle The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, symbiote sequel Venom: The Last Dance, Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin crime comedy Brothers, and Pedro Almodóvar’s English-language feature debut The Room Next Door. All that, and there’s even time spared to chew the fat over the week’s movie news, including a wild bit of speculation about Christopher Nolan’s latest movie, Blade’s continuing production woes, and Paul King going all The Smiths by getting Chris Hemsworth aboard for his Prince Charming movie at Disney. (Chris Charming Man… geddit? Geddit?! Fine!) Oh, and who — or what — is Spiky Mike? Tune in to find out and, as ever, please do enjoy.
