Summary
This week's episode of the Empire Podcast is jam-packed etc. etc. Bumper-sized, and so on and so forth. But it's true, perhaps this week more than ever as Chris Hewitt sits down for chats with two pairs — first, there's Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche, who reunite almost 30 years after The English Patient for this week's Odyssey-sampling drama, The Return. [24:05 - 38:32 approx] Then, there's Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne, stars of the new spy thriller The Amateur, who reflect upon where they met, their working relationship, and the influence of Event Horizon upon modern cinema. [1:03:32 - 1:17:24 approx] Finally, Ben Travis has a lovely chat with Christopher Landon, the always affable director of this week's thriller, Drop. [1:38:53 - 1:53:53 approx] Either side of those, Chris welcomes Ben and James Dyer into the podbooth, as well as our returning geek queen, Helen O'Hara, back after that small business of getting married. They talk about that, discuss the great movie weddings they'd like to attend, run their eye over the week's movie news (including a whole bunch of trailers), and review The Amateur, The Return, Holy Cow, Drop, and One To One: John & Yoko. Also, Chris unleashes a new and almost instantly unwanted impression, and the question is asked: who is the funniest person Helen knows? The answer may shock you. Enjoy.

| 0:24.0 | What's on TV? The answer is a lot. There's never been more choice ever what to put on the box with an abundance of great new shows, but you can miss them all if you don't know where to look. And that's where the pilot TV podcast comes in, your essential guide to every show that matters. Each week, we sift through the very best in Prestige TV to help you decide what's worth spending your time on and what isn't. So join me, James Dyer, as well as venerable TV critics, Boyd Hilton and Kay Ribeiro, |
| 0:26.4 | and let us help take the stress out of your downtime. |
| 0:29.8 | The Pilot TV podcast, because you can't watch everything. |
| 0:33.8 | The Empire podcast is brought to you in association with National Rail. |
| 0:39.3 | Tweets, posts, reels, WhatsApp, voice notes, TikToks. People today are more connected than they've ever been, but no matter how many different ways exist to communicate via your phone, |
| 0:43.1 | there's nothing quite like doing it face to face. Take this podcast, for example. Could we |
| 0:47.6 | dial in from our respective homes and bring you all this film-related fun remotely pandemic style? |
| 0:52.1 | Of course we could. But why would we pass up the opportunity to |
| 0:54.8 | bang on about the MCU and wax lyrical about June Messiah in the flesh, especially when our |
| 1:00.2 | colleagues of such lethal cunning are just a train ride away? But that's not all trains are good for. |
| 1:04.7 | After all, if Jack Reacher can explore the furthest corners of America with nothing but a folding |
| 1:08.6 | toothbrush in his pocket, there is no reason why you can't use the rail network to see some of the UK's hidden gems. |
| 1:14.5 | Perhaps you've always wanted to visit some of the great British landmarks, or maybe you're |
| 1:17.9 | itching to take a tour of some of the nation's iconic movie locations. |
| 1:21.9 | Wander the halls of Thor's Asgard, or, as it's known on Earth, Durham Cathedral, take a trip to the planet Takadana to reenact the fight with Kylo Ren in the forest of Dean, |
| 1:31.2 | or even make your own Batcave in the gardens of Nedworth House, |
| 1:34.1 | as Tim Burton did in 1989's Batman. |
| 1:36.6 | The nation is your cinematic playground, so what are you waiting for? |
| 1:39.7 | Get up off that sofa, hop on a train, and explore the wide world around you. |
| 1:43.6 | Nothing beats being there. |
