The latest episode of The Empire Film Podcast features stars George MacKay and Callum Turner to discuss their new movie, the Cornish time travel mystery Rose of Nevada. In a lively conversation with host Alex Godfrey, the duo shares insights into their first meeting, the unique experience of filming in Cornwall, and the challenges of working with director Mark Jenkin’s analog 16mm filmmaking style. This episode, titled "Ship Happens," also includes a deep dive into movie history’s best ship-related scenes, reflecting the film's maritime themes.                           

Rose of Nevada follows two fishermen, Nick (MacKay) and Liam (Turner), who set sail on a legendary vessel that had vanished 30 years prior. Upon returning to harbor after a successful haul, they realize they have slipped through time and are greeted by villagers as the original crew who disappeared decades ago. The film has been highly praised for its eerie atmosphere and has maintained a 100% rating from reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes.

Fans can listen to the full interview on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts to hear the actors discuss the "life and death" stakes of the film and their bonding over learning and then intentionally unlearning how to gut fish for their roles. The movie is currently playing in UK and Ireland cinemas and is scheduled for a limited U.S. release on June 19, 2026.
