Summary

This is too much Multiverse Of Madness to fit into one text! Yes, this week finally sees the Empire Podteam assess the long-awaited arrival of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, directed by Chris Hewitt's beloved possessed GOAT boy, Sam Raimi, and as well as reviewing that film, our guest this week is one of the stars of the movie, Elizabeth Olsen, aka Wanda Maximoff, aka The Scarlet Witch. She has a lovely chat with Chris about the evolution of Wanda, her love of London and sports, and more. Then, Chris is joined in the virtual podbooth this week by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer to discuss the great movie star cameos in TV shows, a question that's been delayed more times than an Avatar sequel. Speaking of Avatar sequels, James and Helen tell us all about the trailer for Avatar: The Way Of Water, while the team also discuss the departure of Jon Watts from the Fantastic Four director's chair, and the trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi. And, with new releases being dominated by Mister Doctor this week, they also talk about the new Chris Pine actioner, The Contractor. Enjoy! TIMESTAMPS! (timings are approx.)

The Empire podcast this week, I wonder who our guest is. Yes, it's Wanda Maximov herself,

0:21.0

aka Elizabeth Olsen, star of Doctor Strange in the Multifurs of Madness. Plus, the usual

0:27.3

news in Nonsense on the movie podcast, it likes to think there's a multifurs out there somewhere

0:31.6

where it didn't once ask Sam Raimi if this success was, quote, beyond your wildest kin,

0:38.0

which is a Scottish phrase we had seen in the broons and Uruguay. And then we had to spend

0:42.8

three minutes explaining what that meant to a rather confused director. It would be lovely

0:46.6

if there was a multifurs, but that hadn't happened. It made you the man you are, Chris. It is.

0:52.3

Yes, it did. Hello, pod. I'm Chris, you are welcome to the Empire podcast, which this week is being

0:56.4

recorded virtually for a number of reasons. One, scheduling snafu's up the wazoo. It's never

1:03.5

good to have a snafu up the wazoo, but that's exactly what we had. So we're recording this now

1:07.9

on Friday morning, the day the podcast goes out to the movie news section. It's going to be the

1:12.2

freshest. It's ever been red hot movie news folks, including the discussion of that thing that

1:18.5

happened last week. Just we put the podcast up. But yes, this is Friday 6th of May,

1:24.8

13 minutes past 8am morning. I'm here with my two colleagues of such lethal cunning.

1:32.0

Geek Queen Helena, Hara is here. Hello. Great big fucking nerve, James Dyer is here.

1:37.4

Good morning. Is it morning? I'm so tired. I can't really tell.

1:40.4

I who knows, at least one of us, and I'm not going to say who, is naked from the waist down right

1:45.6

now. Well, I've seen James. And he walked away, like as in he walked away from the mic at one

1:52.1

point and came back. So at that point, at least he wasn't naked from the waist down. I know.

1:56.2

I've got to know. I remember my glasses when I sat back down. Obviously. Yeah.

1:59.3

Yeah. Anyway, let's move on quickly, shall we? How are you both? I also have a cold, which

2:04.6

is probably another reason why we're doing this. Not in the studio, but remotely today. But it's
