Summary

This week's Empire Podcast sees father-son duo Liam Neeson and Micheal Richardson, stars of next week's Made In Italy, sit down with Chris Hewitt for a soul-searching interview about how close to home that film hit for them. But, because it's us, there's some nonsense about accents and football too. Chris also has a chat with writer-director John Lee Hancock about his new thriller, The Little Things, which brings together acting powerhouses Denzel Washington, Jared Leto, and Rami Malek. Then, in the virtual podbooth, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Ben Travis to exchange nuggets of film information in The Three Fact Structure, talk about the longest films that they love and their strategies for sitting through bum-numbing behemoths, discuss the week's movie news including the Oscar nominations and the sad passing of Yaphet Kotto, and review Zack Snyder's Justice League, The Little Things, and Infinitum: Subject Unknown. Enjoy.

Our podcast this week we have a lovely old matter with the father and son stars of

0:19.9

maiden Italy, Liam Neeson and Michael Richardson, while we also ask John Lee Hancock all about

0:26.4

the little things in life and the little things which is the name of his new movie. Plus, the

0:31.7

usual news and nonsense on the movie podcast is also getting its very own Snyder cut. Now,

0:37.1

we're not going to be four hours long because quite frankly that's not much of a difference,

0:41.1

but we will have slow motion bits every now and then. But just like Garth Morengi, we're going

0:45.2

to try where possible to keep it away from the bits we're talking. Hello, pod, I'm Chris

0:50.6

Hewitt and welcome to the Empire podcast this week. I'm joined delighted to be joined by not one,

0:56.7

not two, but three colleagues of such lethal cunning are geek queen Helena Harrah. Hello,

1:04.6

Disney Dean Ben Travis. Hello there. And great big fucking nerve, James Dyer.

1:12.4

Hello Chris. Hello James. How are you? You're worse than step-on-mulls.

1:17.0

The band or the crea or the crea. Yeah, both. Can you name a single step-on-wolf tune? No.

1:28.0

I thought about trying to make one up and then thought no, I'm just going to be honest. No Chris,

1:32.0

I can't. I thought that would have been up your alley. I think it probably. Not like in a sex way.

1:37.5

Oh, yeah, of course not. Isn't born to be wild a step-on-wolf track. I don't fucking know.

1:42.4

Get your mother running. I believe it is. Isn't not just because I googled it. I can't imagine

1:47.5

singing it in the film either the Weedon or the Snyder iterations of a reality. Hey,

1:51.6

laudy mama. To be fair, step-muff does have a massive axe. So he is an axe man and therefore

1:57.5

probably could front a band. Yes, he could. There's also a step-muff song they're called Jupiter's

2:02.4
