The Empire Film Podcast

The Empire Film Podcast

Author: Bauer Media Language: English Episodes: 100
Every Friday, the team from the world's biggest movie magazine gets together to talk about the one thing they love most. The Empire Film Podcast, from Bauer Media, is your weekly, spoiler-free dispatch from the front lines of cinema. It feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair in a lively pub where the conversation just happens to be about this week's biggest releases, the oddest film news, and the sheer joy of the movies. You'll hear thoughtful, often passionate reviews of the latest films hitting screens, cutting through the hype to tell you what's truly worth your time. Alongside that, the chat ranges from the insightful to the gloriously silly, with interviews that get real conversations out of Hollywood's most interesting creators rather than just promotional soundbites. This podcast captures the essence of what makes Empire magazine so enduring: a deep knowledge and an irreverent sense of fun, all in one place. For those who finish an episode and immediately want to dissect every plot twist, they point you towards their dedicated spoiler show. But for your regular fix of film culture, news, and honest opinion, this is the Friday ritual for anyone who cares about what's playing in the dark.
