Welcome to the Empire Podcast, Episode 274, a new hope.

It is a period of civil war.

Chris Hewitt demonstrating a shocking lack of work ethics has taken an overdue holiday

to France, leaving the Empire Podcast ripe for hostile takeover from me.

James Dyer, the Emperor Palpatine to his giggling salacious crumb.

Yes, that's right, I'm back in the cockpit this week and nothing will ever be the same again.

Coming up over the next 60 plus minutes, we'll be reminiscing about the raging 80s

with atomic blonde star James McAvoy, breaking bread with breaking bad star Brian Cranston

and sifting through the fettest sludge of fake news to pan out the odd nugget of movie-related gold.

Joining me on this full zerund and conscripted largely against their will

are a pair of men who are less talented than the Cohen brothers,

less not stalgic than the Duffer brothers and less French than the Dadeen brothers.

They are the brothers' dissembling.

It seems only right to introduce them in the same order that their mother did.

So first up is a man who knows more about the European theatre of war than Christopher Nolan,

Harry Styles and Heinrich Himmler combined.

It is the Lord of the Luftwaffe, the wizard of the Fairmarked Phil de Semen.

It seems only right to point out the Dine and Brothers' abelding.

I was actually aware of that fact, but decided to take a little dramatic notice.

Not to be that twat, but yes, I did know.

No, I was wondering if your intro was going to be Shambolic.
