Empire Podcast #550: Charlotte Wells and Frankie Corio, Asif Kapadia, Andy Serkis and Jamie Payne

Episode 550 is here! To celebrate Empire Podcast’s latest milestone, we’ve once again hosted a live show in Kings Place, London, and now here’s that show, reassembled in the correct order and with the really bad parts cut out (to watch, the live streaming (the is still available to watch via kings place.co.uk for the next couple of weeks!) and it was incredible, as Chris Hewitt, Helen O’Hara, Ben Travis and James Dyer took the stage in front of a packed crowd of loyal listeners and discussed the week’s film news, reviewed HEY, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The whale, call the boothAND St. Omerand answered a ton of listener questions.

But that’s not all: a historic episode deserves a historic host of guests, and we don’t disappoint, with after the sun director Charlotte Wells and her young star, Frankie Corio, joined James and Helen to discuss the BAFTA-nominated belt; Director Asif Kapadia came to talk to Chris about Kapadia’s new film, Creature (and NOT Liverpool Football Club, or the Queen); and we can’t wait for Luther’s big screen debut Luther: the fallen sun inviting director Jamie Payne and film villain, living legend and national treasure Andy Serkis to chat with Chris and James. We had a great night and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Enjoy.
