  "summary": "In episode #721 of the Empire Podcast, the hosts argue over movie holidays, run through the week's news and reviews, and Disclosure Day writer David Koepp explains how Steven Spielberg's new sci-fi came together.",
  "content": "This week's Empire Podcast opens with a playful argument, as Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara and James Dyer cram sunscreen, flip-flops and oversized hats into a tiny bag while debating which movie holidays they'd most like to take themselves.\n\nA Debate That Skipped the Obvious Choices\nThe strange thing is that the trio managed to get through the whole conversation without ever name-checking Roman Holiday, The Holiday, M. Hulot's Holiday or Mr Bean's Holiday. In fact, any film with the word 'holiday' in the title was left out entirely — and as a punishment for the colossal oversight, all three have been placed on gardening leave.\n\nThe Week's Movie News and Reviews\nBefore that bit of fun, the hosts also run through the week's movie news, including 24 Jump Street — which arrives with a special cameo attached.\n\nThe reviews segment covers three films. First up is Steven Spielberg's latest, Disclosure Day, followed by Jorma Taccone's Over Your Dead Body, and then Peter Mullan's drama The Fall Of Sir Douglas Weatherford.\n\nDavid Koepp Returns to the Podbooth\nSpeaking of Spielberg, Disclosure Day writer David Koepp drops back into the podbooth to walk Chris through exactly how this newest slice of sci-fi came to life. You can find that conversation in the episode between [46:26 — 1:06:00].\n\nWhere to Hear Episode #721\nAnd if all of that still isn't enough Empire Podcast for you, there's plenty more on offer. This week's instalment — number #721, for anyone keeping count — is available on the pod app of your choice.\n\nThree Standout Chats on The Interviews\nYou'll also find the newest edition of Empire Pod regular The Interviews there, the strand that digs deeper into conversations with the stars and filmmakers behind each week's biggest movies. This time it serves up a trio of terrific sit-downs.\n\nFirst, Chris Hewitt talks to Brett Goldstein, star and co-writer of Office Romance, alongside his director Ol Parker — and the chat is packed with C-bombs. Then, to everyone's delight, actual rock star Ben Gibbard, frontman of Death Cab For Cutie, pops in to talk to Beth Webb about his love of movies, working with the late, great Lynn Shelton, and his band's new album, I Built You A Tower. Finally, there's a big chunk of Chris' spoiler special interview with Masters Of The Universe director Travis Knight, aka He-Director.",
