This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt sit down for a pre-lunch chat about dinosaurs and sandwiches with Jurassic World Rebirth stars, Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend, [25:28 - 36:36 approx] while Mike Muncer goes deep with the legendary David Cronenberg, as the Canadian director marks the release of one of his most personal films yet, The Shrouds. [1:02:07 - 1:18:07 approx] Oh, and there's an excerpt from our epic spoiler special chat with M3GAN 2.0 director, Gerard Johnstone (the full thing will be available to spoiler special subscribers next week). [1:44:33 - 1:56:03] Either side of that little lot, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Dan Jolin as they celebrate Independence Day by talking about the most evil British movie villains. Plus, they chat about the week's movie news, including The Running Man and Project Hail Mary trailers (this episode was recorded before the sad news broke of Michael Madsen's death), and review The Shrouds, Jurassic World Rebirth, and Heads Of State. Enjoy!
