#631 ft. Jeff Goldblum, Rupert Sanders

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast is jampacked with joy, folks. Guest-wise, we have a big old chunk of the Empire VIP Club live Q&A Chris Hewitt did with Jeff Goldblum, star of new Netflix show KAOS, a short while ago. And it's as gloriously Jeff Goldblumy as you could hope for. [24:13 - 42:52 approx] Chris is also joined this week by Rupert Sanders, the director of the brand new version of The Crow, as they talk about grief, love and wrestling with iconography. [1:05:04 - 1:24:24 approx] Either side of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, Ben Travis and — in her final pod before she leaves Empire — Sophie Butcher to discuss the news of The Acolyte's cancellation, create a brand new sport, and review Kneecap, Blink Twice, and Cuckoo. And, as it's Sophie's last show, the listeners' questions segment is dedicated almost entirely to her, as she answers your questions about her brief but brilliant time at the world's biggest movie magazine (and award-losing podcast arm). Enjoy.
