Praise be to Muad'Dib! Thank the heavens forDune: Part Three! Because, frankly, without the launch this week of the trailer for Denis Villeneuve's latest, and last, venture into Frank Herbert's sandy world, Helen O'Hara and James Dyer (for they are in charge this week, in Chris Hewitt's absence) would have had very little to talk about in terms of movie news on this latest episode of the Empire Podcast. Thankfully it came along in the nick of time, and they bang on about it accordingly — yippee!
Elsewhere, Helen and James have plenty to talk about as they discuss contentious Empire reviews and movie worlds they'd like to visit in the listener questions section, and reviewEvil Dead Burn(with the help of Harry Stainer), the live-action remake ofMoana, andRosebush Pruning. Speaking ofEvil Dead Burn, our guest this week is that film's formidable heroine, Souheila Yacoub, who talks to Chris about the film's gruelling one-shot sequence, avoiding the Evil Dead movies, and more. [43:00 — 56:16 approx.] Enjoy!
And if all of the above isn't quite enough Empire Podcast for you, then there's plenty more where that came from. You can listen to this week's episode (which, if you're counting, is #724) onthe pod app of your choice. There, you'll also find the latest episode of Empire Pod regular The Interviews, in which we bring you even more chat with the stars and filmmakers behind each week's biggest movies. The most recent edition finds Chris Hewitt sits down on Zoom for a fun chat with Phil Lord and Chris Miller aboutProject Hail Marynow that it's on Prime Video. Then, Harry Stainer sits down with another notable filmmaking duo, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol about their five-star comedyNirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. And finally, Chris Zooms it up a storm with Himesh Patel, who stars inEnola Holmes 3as Dr. Watson.
