The Empire Podcast

On this week's Empire podcast, you can look forward to hear both Emily Blunt and Noel Clarke's dulcet tones, as well as our admittedly slightly less dulcet warblings. Plus, all the news, reviews and general movie nonsense you could possibly fit into an hour-long podcast.

Emily Blunt is a thoroughly charming person. For proof, watch any of her movies, and for even more proof, have a listen to this special Empire podcast with her, where she obstinately refuses to do the cookie monster impression she displays in The Five-Year Engagement into one of our microphones.

To be in the presence of Danny DeVito and Richard Griffiths is a real treat, so as we could only put in about 15 minutes or so of our interview with the two Sunshine Boys in our podcast proper, here's the extended cut, just for you.

The Sunshine Boys themselves, Danny DeVito and Richard Griffiths, came into the podbooth this week, as did Kermit the Frog and Pepe the King Prawn, making this special extended edition of the Empire podcast an unequivocal, absolute must listen. Plus: news! Reviews! Movie-related discussions! Everything you could possibly want, really.

The director of Woody Allen: A Documentary drops by for a chat about - what else? - Woody Allen: A Documentary. As well as dosing us up on Woody-related facts, we also learn about the origins of Weide's much-loved sitcom, Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is nice. Plus, what a Woody Allen impersonation! Trust us, you'll be impressed...

The fifteenth Empire podcast boasts not one, not two, but three interviewees, namely the director and star of A Fantastic Fear Of Everything - Crispian Mills and Simon Pegg - and the man behind Woody Allen: A Documentary, Robert Weide. Pegg tells us a little bit about Star Trek 2, The World's End and Nick Frost's dance moves, while Weide delivers an Allen impersonation that'll knock your socks off. Elsewhere, we've got plenty of movie news and reviews for you to enjoy, not to mention the podcast debut of the one and only Ian Freer.

For our fourteenth podcast, we tackle the tricky topics of One Shot becoming Jack Reacher, GI Joe 2 getting pushed back until 2013 and a little sci-fi you might have heard of called Prometheus. The Angels' Share and Snow White And The Huntsman also end up on the reviewing griddle, and the enormously entertaining Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum drops by for a fantastically frank chat.

Call yourself a Game Of Thrones fan? Watched all the episodes so far? Then we have a podcast you're going to enjoy really rather a lot. Director of the ninth episode in the second season - that's Blackwater, by the way - Neil Marshall dropped by to talk about how he handled stepping in at the last moment, and even tells us a few things about previous projects (like Centurion, Dog Soldier and The Descent) as well as upcoming plans...

In the thirteenth Empire podcast, we discuss the merits of movie tattoos, the comedic aspirations of Men In Black 3, the wisdom of remaking The Magnificent Seven and why Gareth Evans' father is Wales' leading authority on martial arts flicks.

For our twelfth episode, we discuss the return of a certain bear from Peru and the rest of the week's key bits of movie news, then we've got our reviews of this week's releases, including The Raid and The Dictator. Plus, Wes Anderson himself pops round for a chat, as does Men In Black director Barry Sonnenfeld.

Following in the hallowed footsteps of Terence Stamp and Mike Newell comes this special 43-minute podcast starring the one and only Edgar Wright, the man behind Hot Fuzz, Shaun Of The Dead and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. As well as talking about his latest online project, Brandon Generator, Mr. Wright also discusses his work and answers some of your pressing questions...

For our eleventh episode, we discuss the Avengers sequel, Kick-Ass 2 and Avatar 4 - and, as they say, much, much more. Not forgetting our reviews of this week's releases, including Dark Shadows, Jeff Who Lives At Home and How I Spent My Summer Vacation. Oh, and Edgar Wright says hello, but more on him later...

For our tenth episode, we discuss the unstoppable success of The Avengers, possible Hulk spin-offs for Mark Ruffalo, Alan Partridge hitting the big screen and much, much more. Some of that 'much, much more' includes reviews of this week's releases - think American Pie: Reunion, Safe and The Lucky One - as well as Game Of Thrones author George RR Martin dropping by for one of the nerdiest chats of all time.

Watched The Avengers and wish you could find out more about it? Well then, it's about time you listened to Empire spoiler-filled Avengers podcast, starring Marvel Studio's head honcho himself, Kevin Feige. So if you're 100% sure you've watched The Avengers already, don't click anything else but play. That's an order, soldier.
