This week s Empire Podcast is a) the right file, after last week s mix-up (if you still haven t heard last week s show, it s up now for your listening pleasure) and b) jam-packed with poddy goodness. John Nugent returns to the podfold after an extended absence, and has a brief chat with
Wolfwalkers directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart about life on the awards circuit and more. Our second guest this week is 80s movie legend, Steve Guttenberg, who can be found in new movie
Original Gangster. He chats to Chris Hewitt about dogs,
Police Academy, and being a Beatle.
And the Fab Four also dominate the rest of this week s pod, as Chris is joined by John, Helen O Hara and James Dyer for a particularly shambolic episode of The Three Fact Structure, discuss the greatest dream sequences in movies, review
Ammonite, Francis Lee s follow-up to his breathtaking debut,
God s Own Country, sees Kate Winslet star as Mary Anning, a fossil hunter in 1840s England, who becomes romantically involved with a younger woman (Saoirse Ronan). Developing themes Lee explored in
God s Own Country, it s a fragile and beautiful film, and in our spoiler special podcast Terri White sits down for an in-depth Squadcast chat with Lee about those themes, the film s ending, and much more.
Then, Terri joins Chris Hewitt and Helen O Hara for a deep dive into the film, which answers the question on everyone s lips: did Mary Anning have a dog? Find out within.
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier spoiler special was a little shorter than usual (it was barely an hour long; what a disgrace), we barely scratched the surface of the listener questions you lovely lot sent in.
So, in this bonus episode, Chris Hewitt, Helen O Hara, and Ben Travis jettison the kazoos and the singing and the daftness to open the mailbag and dive right in, answering (as best as they can) your questions about episode 4 of
FAWS, and the show in general. Enjoy.

This week s episode of
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier saw things jump up a notch, as one character made a fateful decision, and one character. well, you know.
And Team Empire is on hand to dig into the show once again, as Chris Hewitt, Helen O Hara, Ben Travis (eventually), and the returning James Dyer talk about twists, turns and much more besides. And a certain orchestra returns, in mournful mood.
Enjoy.

On an episode of the Empire Podcast so uncharacteristically short it could qualify for inclusion in Sam Clements 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest, Chris Hewitt sits down with Riz Ahmed and Darius Marder, the star and director of the phenomenal
Sound Of Metal, to talk about how they pulled off one of the year s best dramas (and, because it s about a drummer, drumas).
And then Chris is joined by Helen O Hara and James Dyer to talk about more Easter egg shenanigans, discuss which movie monsters could do with a hug (which then segues into a chat about the best movie hugs), take a look at the week s movie news including a boatload of trailers, and review
