Summary

Christmas is coming, and the goose isn't the only thing that's getting fat. The Empire Podcast is bursting at the seams with incredible guests yet again, as we welcome a trio of top directors this week. First up, you get a brief excerpt from Chris Hewitt's live Q&A with James Cameron as he returns to cinemas with Avatar: The Way Of Water (the full show will be up soon, should you wish to listen to the rest; and you should!). Then, Amon Warmann has a nice in-depth chat with Alejandro G. Inarritu about his most personal film yet, Bardo: False Chronicle Of A Handful Of Truths, and then Chris talks to Spirited director Sean Anders about turning Dickens into a musical. Oh, and Chris gushes about one of Anders' films. No, not Daddy's Home 2. Although it is a Christmas movie. Then, in the virtual podbooth this week, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer to talk about the movie-themed Christmas presents they'd like, the film they've bought the most; to discuss the week's movie news, including Henry Cavill's on-off-on-off-again relationship with Superman; and review Bardo, The Amazing Maurice and that water film. Enjoy.

guy called James Cameron, James Cameron director of a fator, the way of waiter. Very, very

exciting indeed. All that and more on the movie podcast. That is noticed that journalists

who have been previously critical of Elon Musk appear to be suspended from Twitter.

0:54.0

So for the avoidance of doubt, let me clarify earlier comments I made about Arman too in which

0:59.6

I suggested that it was the worst film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That of course

1:04.6

was an error. I can now see that it is an actual fact, the best film in the Marvel Cinematic

Universe.

1:12.0

Hashtag Elon Rocks. Thank you very much indeed for your time.

Hell of a-paw, I'm Antegro Lee's Chris Huit. Welcome to the Empire podcast. This week we

were recording it remotely. You may hear from my voice. That was a very, very wise decision.

Can't shake this cold guys. Can't shake this cold. I'm chomping my two colleagues of such

for your recovery. I don't want to go near you. I'll be completely honest. I'm still in my pajamas.

1:45.6

I was very, very late last night writing the next cover feature of Empire Magazine. I stink.

1:53.5

I stink. The feature hopefully doesn't stink, but I stink. I didn't mean that to be pointed.

1:57.5

I'll be honest. I was just Batman, Jingle Bells, Batman Swarth smells. No, absolutely.
