The spooky season is here, and this week's Empire Podcast is more terrifying than ever! First, Chris Hewitt chats with Naomi Scott about her outstanding performance in Parker Finn's chilling sequel, Smile 2 [23:26 — 37:26 approx]. Next, the team—Chris, James Dyer, Ben Travis, and a rare appearance by our news editor Beth Webb—dives into two horror-themed listener questions. They discuss horror films that deserved Best Picture nominations and spontaneously create a Mount Rushmore of vampire movies (apologies for Beth's controversial pick of the Fright Night remake over the original!).
In other news, they cover the addition of Krypto the Superdog to James Gunn's Superman, new trailers for A24's fantasy adventure The Legend Of Ochi and Aardman's Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, and the long-awaited confirmation of a Ready Or Not sequel (which should really be titled Ready Or Not: Here I Come). Plus, Chris has a delightful conversation with director-star Anna Kendrick about her film Woman Of The Hour [58:47 — 1:16:56 approx].
In the reviews section, they cover Woman Of The Hour, The Wild Robot, Smile 2, and The Apprentice, with guest reviewer Alex Godfrey. The team, along with a special guest, also bids Ben a heartfelt farewell as he goes on paternity leave. Good luck, Ben!
As always, listeners, please enjoy. You can catch this episode (and over 600 more) on your favorite podcast app.
