Barry Levinson, Gints Zilbalodis, Snakes On A Podcast, And The Convergence
Manage episode 472590357 series 2018313
It's another bumper-sized edition of the Empire Podcast this week, folks, in which Chris Hewitt sits down on Zoom with the legendary director, Barry Levinson, on the eve of the release of his new gangster movie, The Alto Knights, starring Robert De Niro, Robert De Niro and Robert De Niro's dogs. [23:31 - 40:13 approx] Then, we also hear from Gints Zilbalodis, the director of this year's Oscar-winning animated movie, Flow, in an exclusive excerpt from a recent Empire VIP Club event, hosted by Beth Webb. [59:44 - 1:13:04 approx] Either side of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer and, briefly, Alex Godfrey, to reflect on St. Patrick's Day, discuss Hollywood actors in British TV adverts, their favourite movie assassinations (because of the Ides Of March, see), chat about the week's movie news, and review Flow, The Alto Knights, and the Rachel Zegler double-whammy of Snow White and Y2K. Oh, and Chris bangs on about something called The Convergence. When you hear what it is, you'll most likely share his excitement. Enjoy.
