It's a timeless question: Who ya gonna call? And the equally classic answer: Ghostbusters! This week on the Empire Podcast, we don't just talk about Ghostbusters, but we actually have a Ghostbuster on the show. And not just any Ghostbuster—no, sir! The heart and soul of the Ghostbusters, legendary co-creator Dan Aykroyd, joins our very own Chris Hewitt to discuss the upcoming Ghostbusters In Concert show at the Royal Albert Hall, webbed feet, and the creation of one of the greatest comedies of all time [21:55 - 41:32 approx].
Our second guest this week is Benjamin Ree, director of the profoundly moving documentary The Remarkable Life Of Ibelin, which tells the extraordinary story of a young Norwegian man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and his second life within the World Of Warcraft [1:11:29 - 1:28:29 approx].
In between these interviews, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer for the final spooky season pod of the year. Fear not, this episode isn't particularly chilling. This week's listener question has Chris and his colleagues discussing the best non-horror films made by horror filmmakers. The reviews section is equally scare-free, covering The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, Venom: The Last Dance, Brothers, and Pedro Almodóvar's English-language debut The Room Next Door.
We also delve into the week's movie news, including speculation about Christopher Nolan's latest, Blade's production issues, and Paul King's casting of Chris Hemsworth for his Disney's Prince Charming movie. And what or who is Spiky Mike? Tune in to find out and, as always, please enjoy. You can listen to this week's episode (and over 600 more) on your preferred podcast app.
