The Empire Film Podcast

Simply the best film podcast available

The Marvel stuff is just intolerable (I think they’re aware as they give time stamps so you can just skip it). I’ve been listening for years and still do so 5 stars for a truck load of free entertainment.

The main podcast is ok, but I rarely listen anymore as there’s usually too much that I’m not interested in and have to skip past. The chemistry between the hosts is very good though and you can tell they know what they’re talking about. There seem to be less and less spoiler specials interesting me these days. I can only think that Disney must be sponsoring them as you can guarantee that any Star Wars or Marvel show gets a weekly ‘special’. I watch these shows but most of them are not that great these days and definitely don’t require weekly discussions. Horror films will generally get a special too so if it’s not Disney sponsorship, it must be just down to what Chris likes. He clearly doesn’t like the fantasy genre for example so rarely do these get the ‘special’ treatment. I will say though that I do crack up every time Chris and James talk to each other in ‘Jar-Jar’.

I’ve listened to this podcast for years now and I love the geeky banter and film chat. Chris is very funny and a really personable interviewer, Helen is brilliant and I’m already a big James fan from the Pilot TV podcast. Thank you guys.
