On the Empire Podcast this week, we welcome Natalie Dormer to deliver a propo for the final

installment of the Hunger Games saga, and maybe tell us a little something about Game

of Thrones while she's here.

And we discuss the rudest film of the year, Gaspar Noe's Love, which is to genitalia

what the transformers franchise is to explosions.

All that and more on the only movie podcast that ensures the odds are always in our favor

by trying to avoid gladiatorial combat.

Entirely.

Hello, pod, I'm Helen O'Hara, and welcome to the Empire Podcast.

Your regularly scheduled host, Chris Hewitt, is a way on top secret business.

I cannot tell you anything about.

It must remain under more wraps than a patch-mean-a-factory.

Instead, today I'm joined by two colleagues of such lethal cunning that that phrase still

makes no sense.

First up is our resident ad for anger management, James Dyer.

If he were throwing into the Hunger Games, he'd basically recreate planet-hulk and destroy

all comrades.

His gladiatorial name would be Maximus Casualtius.

That's an astonishing graph of Latin that you have there.

Thank you, please have a good study.

I think I do very well in an office Hunger Games.

I'm very much in favor of this as a kind of an editorial device.
