Summary

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees us go rogue with M.J. Bassett, the director of new VOD title Rogue, in which Megan Fox does battle with a very angry lion. M.J. chats with Chris Hewitt about making the movie, working with Megan Fox, making her peace with a negative Empire review of her first movie, Death Watch, and coming face to face with a black mamba. Then, in the virtual podbooth, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Beth Webb for an episode in which they discuss saying painful goodbyes to beloved TV shows, engage in a very animalistic edition of The Three Fact Structure, mull over the greatest haircut and shaving scenes in cinema, discuss the week's movie news including Wonder Woman 1984's new release strategy, and review Steve McQueen's latest Small Axe offering, Lovers Rock, as well as Rogue and Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula. Oh, and Chris mounts a desperate campaign to be verified by Instagram. Enjoy.

Hello pod, I'm Chris Ewitt and welcome to the Empire Podcast. You think we'd be in a

0:45.5

jubilant mood this week folks, but we're not. Things are rather sad around here. Because

0:52.4

as we're recording this, it is 1616 on Thursday, the 19th of November, 2020. I want to say

1:01.5

I'm very confused, but what day, year, week it is, it's the end of Supernatural tonight,

1:07.5

isn't it? Hell in a harrow, he must be distraught. I'm pretty upset. Yeah, I don't really know

1:14.5

what to do with that. Still hot and bothered from the windsest thing or whatever it was

1:18.5

that happened the other week. The slash fiction come to life. Isn't this why it was not

1:22.5

windsest. Destills. Destills. Destills. Very different thing. But you know, I'm glad that

1:28.1

the writers saw fit to pay tribute really to the fans, I think, in that respect and

1:32.8

to the characters. I mean, it's all there guys. Open your eyes. How many times did you

1:37.0

have to write stories and submit them for this to be accepted? I admit nothing. I genuinely,

1:43.2

know this. I've bought me. I've read one piece of fanfic in my life and written none. So

1:48.8

just because there's just one with double wrapping with one game star speaking, who has

no idea part of her podcast's work, but despite having appeared on hundreds of them, this

1:57.1

is James Dyer speaking. Who, what, what sort of layer of suspense do you think after all

these podcasts people are? I wonder who's going to be there? Who could possibly be on
