On this week's episode of the Empire Podcast we may not be ballerinas, but we do have two twos for you. Yes, that's right — four guests across two cracking interviews! Kicking us off, Chris Hewitt sits down on Zoom with The Electric State's Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt to talk about their favourite Russo brother, accents, and which one will attend the parade if/when Liverpool FC win this year's Premier League title. [23:34 — 37:14 approx.] Then, Chris is back on the beat for a fun chat about lie detectors, Benihana, and dinner parties from hell with Black Bag stars Michael Fassbender and Marisa Abela. [59:08 — 1:17:44 approx.]
Between this week's interviews, Chris is joined back in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer for another fun episode in which the team answers questions from the Empire Podcast subreddit that have them dwelling on numbers (specifically, four and 12); discuss the week's movie news, including Sadie Sink's Spider-Man 4 casting, Charli XCX's potential Narnia casting, Cujo's Netflix reboot, and trailers for Spinal Tap II and Lilo & Stitch; and cast their critical eye over the latest cinema and streaming releases with reviews of Black Bag, The Electric State, Last Breath, In The Lost Lands, and Opus. Oh, and the gang also talk about Portals for a change off the back of Chris' recent trip to see The Infinity Saga Live in Concert. Enjoy.
