The Empire Film Podcast #641 ft. Hugh Grant, Ian Bonhote, Peter Ettedgui

We've another double interview episode of the Empire Podcast for you this week, folks. First up, Hugh Grant returns to the pod for an in-depth chat with Evolution Of Horror host and friend of Empire Mike Muncer about his new movie, Heretic, and whether or not he's into horror [24:54 — 38:02 approx]. The, our very own man who is super, Chris Hewitt, has a lovely chat about Christopher Reeve with Ian Bonhote and Peter Ettedgui, directors of a new documentary about the late Superman star, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story [58:32 - 1:17:42 approx].

Either side of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer for a fun episode in which this week's listener question sees the team discussing their favourite micro-budget movies; in which a busy week for movie news sees Steven Knight's departure from the latest Star Wars movie, exciting Alien and Predator developments, Amber Midthunder and Alan Ritchson's Painter, Spider-Man 4's release date announcement, and some non-movie Marvel news all on the agenda; and in which the team review a whole bunch of movies, including our guests' efforts, Sean Baker's Anora, and Clint Eastwood's Juror #2. As ever, please do enjoy.
