This week’s episode of the Empire Podcast features more Oscar nominees than… well, not the Oscars themselves, that would be ridiculous. But definitely more Oscar nominees than you could shake a golden stick at. First, Chris Hewitt talks to Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson, favorite Best Animated Feature directors, Pinocchio (not this one). Next, Alex Godfrey dives into Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams as she tells him about how she played Steven Spielberg’s mother to Steven Spielberg in Steven Spielberg’s film. The Fabelmans. And then Dan Jolin comes to chat with The whale director Darren Aronofsky and his star, arguably favorite best actor Brendan Fraser.
Following! On either side of these talks, Helen O’Hara and James Dyer join Chris in the podbooth to discuss Paul Mescal’s chances of being the new Bond (and Chris lays out a plan that should make everyone happy), Have a Chance to discuss the week’s movie news (including an in-depth look at the Oscar nominations) and reviews The Fabelmans, Airplane, forced marriageYup Bothersome. Have fun.
