All the Empire Podcasts this week were live with the Prince Charles Cinnamon London for a 250th episode!

Oh yes! Just as we rehearsed, beautifully done, can take that off, says your audience goes wild, excellent.

Hello, Paul, I'm Chris, you're welcome to the Empire Podcast. Yes, this is our 250th episode!

They said we'd never get this far. They said we could never get this far, and after they heard the first three episodes, they said we should never get this far in fairness.

Here we are, 250 not out, which is more than any English batsman. Living or dead is able to say.

It's true! I looked it up on the internet earlier on, and the internet is never wrong.

Over the next couple of hours, you'll be getting lots of hot, cricketing facts from me, and we'll be doing everything you've come to expect from the Empire Podcast over the last five years.

So there'll be discussion of movie news, Helen and Harrow were bang on about Hamilton, we'll talk about the Wigs Big Films,

I'll bang on about Marvel, with a top chat, top chat, with one of our favourite ever podcast guests back for a second helping.

And Phil DeSendium will read aloud from his favourite cinema book, The Cinema of Christof Kislawski, Variations on Destiny and Chance by Marik Haltoff.

So, this is a really is a once in a lifetime opportunity never to be missed.

So, as usual, stuff really only with an extra patina of shit, really.

Oh, with a show this week I'm joined by 250 colleagues of such lethal cunning.

No, three colleagues of such lethal cunning are just much more manageable.

First up is our resident geek queen, a lady who recently celebrated when Supernatural, her favourite TV show, hit its own 250th episode in style.

With an episode in which I'm quoting here from EW's own recap, Sam and Dean, or is it Dean and Sam, my honestly can't tell which is which,

took their shirts off and oiled each other up for 37 minutes straight.

Wow, sounds like a real doozy, but you please welcome Helen and Harrow!

Once again, slandering my favourite show. Hello, everybody.

In one way. Tell me that did not happen.

Thank you!

It didn't happen.
