Author: Bauer Media May 8, 2026 Duration: 1:36:21

This week's Empire Podcast sees Alex Godfrey sit down for an audience with music superstar Billie Eilish and her co-director on her new concert movie, Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour Live In 3D, one James Cameron. Blimey! Then Alex slides into the podbooth to join Helen O'Hara, James Dyer and host Chris Hewitt for a fun-filled episode in which they discuss Karl Urban's killiest characters, the best movie farmers, a whole bunch of trailers (including The Odyssey, Evil Dead Burn, and Resident Evil), and review the aforementioned Billie Eilish movie, The Sheep Detectives, Remarkably Bright Creatures, and Mortal Kombat II, a Helen-led review that may be more fun than the film. Oh, and what the hell is Thrawnhub? Enjoy!


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.
