The Empire Podcast

For our ninth episode, we discuss why James Cameron should rule the world, Pixar's 'Day Of The Dead' movie and Iron Man 3's casting news - alongside reviews of this week's releases, including Avengers Assemble, Damsels In Distress and Being Elmo. Oh, and Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige drops by to give us some pretty interesting Iron Man 3 details, and American Pie: Reunion's Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge come round to compliment our microphones. For some reason.

Mike Newell is the man behind Four Weddings And A Funeral, Donnie Brasco, Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire and many more - and recently, he came into the Empire office to talk about his favourite film ever, La Grande Illusion. But after that, he spent some time with us chatting about the rest of his career... and Johnny Depp's unusual activities on set. You'll have to listen through to see what we mean, to be honest. Anyway, here's the resulting mega podcast, just for you. Enjoy!

For our eighth episode, we discuss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, 'moral bankruptcy' and Sin City 2 - plus reviews of this week's releases, including Salmon Fishing In The Yemen, Marley and Lockout. Oh, and Guy Pearce drops by to say hello, which was nice.

Watched The Cabin In The Woods? Wish you could have talked to the director / co-writer afterward? Well, we can't offer you that, but we can offer you this special, eight minute or so mini-podcast with Drew Goddard - so as long as you've definitely, absolutely, 100% watched the film, then enjoy this exceptionally spoilery super special edition of the Empire Podcast.

For our seventh episode, we discuss cheesey action movie one-liners, Gary Ross leaving the Hunger Games franchise and first 10 minutes of Prometheus - and hear some wise words from Mike Newell on La Grande Illusion, as well as The Cabin In The Woods director Drew Goddard on, um, The Cabin In The Woods . Not forgetting our reviews of this week's releases, including The Battleship and - would you believe it? - The Cabin In The Woods.
