Summary

In the second half of this week's genuinely bumper-sized, jam-packed Empire Podcast, the great Jimmy Smits jumps onto SquadCast with Ben Travis and Chris Hewitt, talking to them about his role in Jon M. Chu's adaptation of In The Heights, his New York heritage, and his skill with a lightsaber. Which you may even be able to hear. And, with Godzilla Vs Kong hitting DVD, Blu-ray and 4K this week, we bring you the opening ten minutes of our spoiler special chat with the film's director, Adam Wingard. Either side of those, Chris and Ben are joined by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer to discuss the week's movie news, including an epic chat about Greenland: Migration that you might want to skip if you haven't seen Greenland, and review In The Heights, Ben Wheatley's In The Earth, Pixar's Luca, Paul W.S. Anderson's Monster Hunter, and Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. Phew! Enjoy.

Listen, only God and Jerry Butler himself can judge me.

0:41.0

Anyway, because of the nature of discussing the sequel to a movie that just came out a

few weeks ago, we do get into some pretty heavy spoiler territory.

0:51.0

And so if you haven't seen Greenland and you want to avoid spoilers for the movie, then

skip from roughly the two-minute mark to the 10 and a half minute mark and I think then

you will be fine.

For those of you who have seen Greenland, enjoy.

question and the beloved, beloved three-facts structure and much discussion of whether Batman

likes to go downtown and go through them if you get my drift.

1:49.9

But now that the bad chat is out of the way, it is time for me, Chris Hewitt and my three
