What’s it about?  
The Empire Film Podcast is the official podcast of Empire, one of the world’s biggest and best movie magazine, offering all the latest movie news and nonsense, as well as reviews of the week’s new films and weekly interviews.  Meanwhile, its sister podcast, Pilot TV, does the same for all things small screen.
