On the Empire Podcast this week, we welcome the directing and screenwriting genius that is Charlie Kaufman to the pod booth. The genius mind behind Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind talks to us about Anomalisa with his co-director Duke Johnson. They discuss Oscars, puppet sex, and the song Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

Remember the name Anya Taylor-Joy. She is only 19 but already making a huge impression with he star-making turn in acclaimed supernatural horror The Witch; she chats to us about complex accents and being starstruck, and admits she has never seen an episode of The Office.

Plus! We debate the Spider-Man-filled new Captain America: Civil War trailer, review the latest Divergent movie; and Empire’s features editor Dan Jolin makes more smutty jokes than Ofcom would allow us to broadcast.
