On this week's Empire Podcast we have another brace of cracking guests. First up, It Follows star Maika Monroe returns to the show to talk to Chris Hewitt about her terrifying new horror film, Longlegs [25:43 — 39:01 approx], inadvertently inspiring Chris to launch the Empire Podcast Hall Of Fame for repeat guests in the process. Elsewhere, making his long, long overdue debut on the pod is the great Griffin Dunne, star of An American Werewolf In London and After Hours, who sits down with Chris to talk about his memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir [59:29 - 1:19:24 approx]. It's a conversation that runs the emotional gauntlet from the funny to the tragic, and we hope he comes back many times — a Hall Of Fame spot surely awaits.
Either side of our star interviews, Chris is joined in the podbooth this week by Helen O'Hara and Alex Godfrey to tackle this week's Gladiator II inspired...
