The Magic Number of Guests
As the prophets of De La Soul once proclaimed, “Three, that’s the magic number!” Yes folks, that’s right — for the second week on the bounce we have a terrific trio of guests joining us on the Empire Podcast. First up, our features editor Alex Godfrey speaks no evil — and speaks Speak No Evil — with the psychological thriller remake’s star (and podcast regular) James McAvoy [19:49 — 34:40 approx]. Then, Amon Warmann sits down for a chat with Kate Winslet, star of wartime biopic Lee [56:50 – 1:12:15 approx]. (Also, thanks to Sam Clements for the emergency podcast mics there in Chris Hewitt’s absence!) And last but most certainly not least, we have for your listening delectation the interview that the entire podteam (Chris, Helen O’Hara, James Dyer, and Amon) did with Reawakening star and all-round acting legend Juliet Stevenson during last week’s live show at the London Podcast Festival [1:41:33 — 1:57:42 approx].
Films of 1996 and More
Either side of those, Chris is back in the pod booth after a rare holiday and hosts Helen, James and Alex Godfrey as they discuss films from 1996 that deserve sequels — and why 1996 was such a bad year for movies (except for Matilda, Fargo, Mission: Impossible, The Frighteners, Mars Attacks!, Breaking The Waves… hang on, what bad year?) On the news front, the team take the time to pay tribute to the iconic James Earl Jones, who passed away this week, get stuck into reports of Destin Daniel Cretton directing Spider-Man 4, and discuss the possibility of Edward Berger helming Ocean’s 14. Plus we review the movies this week’s guests starred in — so that’s Lee, Speak No Evil, and Reawakening. Oh, and just for good measure, our old chum Corin Hardy drops in out of nowhere for a shameless plug. As ever, please do enjoy.
