Summary

Well, this is another nice mess. Stan & Ollie, Jon S. Baird's film about a UK tour undertaken by Laurel & Hardy towards the end of their careers, opens this week. So Chris Hewitt has a nice chat with Baird about that, shameless namedropping and more, and in the bargain they come up with the podcast's strangest spin-off episode to date. Then Chris has a chat with the film's Stan, BAFTA-nominated Steve Coogan, about impressions, double acts, Partridge, Tripping with Rob Brydon, Holmes & Watson, and more. It's a ruddy blast. Then, back in the podbooth, Chris is joined by pod-regulars Helen O'Hara and James Dyer, and new producer Jane, for an episode that features some tweaks we hope you'll like, and a huge dollop of the usual film-related fun as they discuss mobile phones in cinemas, the week's movie news, and review the big releases, including Colette and The Front Runner. Enjoy.

0:00.0	BANGLE BANG!
0:14.0	On the Emperor podcast this week, here's another nice mess we've gotten ourselves into as
0:17.6	we talk Stan and Oli with Stan, not Oli, Steve Cougan.
0:22.1	The toughest thing really making this film is not the physical stuff and the prosthetic

0:52.4	This week we are joined by two colleagues of such lethal cunning as our geek queen,
0:57.7	Helena Hara. She's very excited, she's just about to go off the Thailand.
1:01.3	I am. It's, I can't say why.
1:03.2	I can't say why but it's really stressful because I have to get visa and I have to get a flight
1:08.3	and it's all, it's a bit less minute is what I'm saying.
1:11.6	James Dyer is also here, which is nice I guess.
1:13.7	Can I have an honorific please?
1:15.2	No. I feel like Helen's been the geek queen now since 2012 and I'm just some twat
1:19.4	who comes in as the podcast. I think I need a like a, I need a title.
1:22.0	And therein lies your identity. You are indeed just some twat who comes in and does the podcast
1:27.1	and does the podcast down quite frankly. I can own that.
1:29.7	I literally have geek queen written on my diary like it's, you know what I mean?
