Summary

This week's Empire Podcast takes things to the next level. Mainly because Olly Richards sits down with Jake Kasdan, director of Jumanji: The Next Level, to hear how he made the sequel to the 2017 surprise smash, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle. Also, the great Jonathan Pryce — star of The Two Popes — has a chat about that film, and more, with John Nugent. Then, back in the podbooth, Chris Hewitt returns to host, and is joined by Helen O'Hara and (latterly) Ian Freer as they discuss movies that act as a fillip in the middle of a bout of pure existential dread (no reason), discuss the week's movie news, including trailers for Wonder Woman 1984 and Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and review a whole bunch of movies, including Jumanji: The Next Level, 6 Underground, The Two Popes, and Black Christmas. There's also a bit of singing. Be warned. Enjoy.

1:09.0	apparently. There's only two of us now, so I'll be getting a forward. How are you?

1:20.0	Let's keep it, let's keep it not political, Helen. I'm personally here.
1:23.6	Yep. You're just very conservatively today.
1:26.4	I have not, I'm wearing sequins, thank you very much.
1:29.7	For you, it's conservative. But I'm wearing black also.
1:32.4	You are. I'm trying not to get into it, I'm trying to get it.
1:36.4	But obviously, you went through a great deal of labor to get here this morning,
