Summary

This week's Empire Podcast sees someone new and noteworthy ease themselves into the fourth chair, as Eddie Hamilton, the brilliant editor of Top Gun: Maverick and the forthcoming double whammy of Mission: Impossible 7 and 8, joins the podteam — Chris Hewitt, James Dyer, and John Nugent — for the duration of the show. So, as well as picking Eddie's brains for tales of editing Maverick and getting the odd tip or ten, he joins us to tackle this week's listener question (about the best fourth instalments in film franchises), and discuss the week's movie news (this episode was recorded before news broke of James Caan's death; we'll discuss the legendary Mr. Caan next week), and we think you'll agree that he's a most welcome addition to the team. Elsewhere, the team review Thor: Love And Thunder, and Brian And Charles, and Chris has an audience with the wonderful Jenny Agutter, star of next week's sequel, The Railway Children Return. The two of them talk about that, and about some of the milestones in her incredible career, including An American Werewolf In London, her cameo in Darkman and, of course, her appearances in the MCU. Enjoy.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Chris here, just jumping in real quick before the podcast begins.
0:04.4	To let you know this week's episode of the Emperor Podcast was recorded yesterday on Thursday,
0:10.0	July 7th before we learned of the sad news of the death of the legendary James Khan.
0:16.8	And we've tried in the period since to reconfin the team both in the studio and virtually,
0:21.6	but we have proved unable to do so. So therefore we have decided to leave our tribute to James Khan
0:28.5	until next week's episode when we can give him the time and the tribute that he and his incredible
0:33.3	career deserve. So just wanted to give you a heads up and now on with this week's show.
0:52.9	On the Emperor Podcast this week, after suffering and severe delays due to leaves on the line,
0:57.8	the railway children return after 52 years and we talked to their leader, the legendary Jenny
1:03.9	Aguiter. Plus the usual news and nonsense on the movie podcast that felt in the end,
1:09.4	there was no other option for him but to resign. I mean once he lost the support of his chief
1:15.2	allies, the people eater and the bullet farmer, the game was up for the Immortan Joe who was now
1:21.2	sending his war rig to Resign Town. Hello, I'm Chris Hewitt and welcome to the Emperor Podcast for
1:31.3	the last time ever. We are recording this in the gray depressing pod booth very, very sad days.
1:38.6	Indeed, we're not stopping the show. We're moving. We're moving to a new brighter studio.
1:43.2	Or so I'm told. So I'm told, but this is it. James has taken a picture. Everyone's mild.
1:51.0	Very sad. So sad. So sad to believe in the Great Depression. But nevertheless, we're going to be
1:56.8	upbeat for the final show here in our little studio. And I'm joined by two colleagues
2:01.9	of such lethal cunning, no hell in a hire this week, but we do have our great big fucking
2:06.3	nerve, James Dyer. Hello, James. How are you? I am okay. Thank you. Memories of this place,
2:10.9	quickly. Yeah, I remember the time when we almost caught COVID from Jim Cummings. That was fun.
