Hollywood might be taking a break for Thanksgiving, roasting turkeys, and watching oversized Spider-Mans (or is it Spider-Men?), but the Empire Podcast is still packed with guests, excitement, and guest-related excitement. This week, our first guest is Auli'i Cravalho, the voice of Moana, who chats with Chris Hewitt about her return as a master wayfinder in the newly released Moana 2. She also shares her tips on avoiding conversations on planes [16:03 — 29:35 approx]. Following that, Ian Freer interviews a trio of legends: Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, and Isabella Rossellini, stars of the new papal conspiracy thriller Conclave [46:49 — 1:04:52 approx].
In between these interviews, with Chris Hewitt temporarily out of action due to a neck injury, Helen O'Hara hosts the show, joined by James Dyer and Amon Warmann. They discuss what they're grateful for this year and, thanks to a cleverly phrased listener question, find themselves talking about mountains without mentioning a certain South Dakotan rock face (Maui is the only Rock face allowed this week!). They also cover some exciting movie news, including the live-action Lilo & Stitch teaser trailer, Charlize Theron joining Christopher Nolan's new film, Barry Keoghan reportedly playing Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes' Beatles biopic, and debate the merits of Colman Domingo's Batman voice. The team also reviews Conclave, Moana 2, and Dear Santa. Forget Thanksgiving, give thanks — the podding gods have delivered another fantastic episode! Chee-hoo!
