Paul Greengrass, Damien Chazelle

The Empire Podcast gets serious this week, as the great Paul Greengrass — director of 22 July, a new Netflix film about the horrific mass murder committed by Anders Breivik in Norway in 2011 — talks to Chris Hewitt about the rise of the far right, and the role democracy has to play in combating it.

Then Ben Travis talks to First Man director Damien Chazelle about the challenges of making a film about the attempt to get Neil Armstrong and his fellow astronauts on the moon back in 1969.

Back in the podbooth, it's a two-person job as Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara to answer a bunch of listener questions, tackle the week's movie news (James Gunn causing tongues to wag), review Bad Times At The El Royale, 22 July, and First Man, sing Memories, and talk at length about Chris' metallic abs. OK, so maybe the Podcast doesn't get completely serious this week...
