Summary

How jam-packed is this week's episode of the Empire Podcast? How bumper-sized is it? Well, it's so huge β€” bursting at the seams with four β€” count 'em, FOUR! β€” interviews β€” that we have, for the first time ever (we think!), had to split the pod into two parts. In this, Parte The Firste, Chris Hewitt chats to British actors David Thewlis and Richard Armitage (both of whom have their own microphones, throwing down the gauntlet to other thesps everywhere) about, respectively, Atom Egoyan's Guest Of Honour and new audiobook, The Chekhov Collection Of Short Stories. Plus, they natter on about guitars, decapitation, midlife crises, Captain America, and building a fort at home. Then, in the virtual podbooth, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara, Amon Warmann, and James Dyer to answer a couple of listener questions about filmic fruit and movie cops, while the film fact segment β€” aka Love Factually β€” takes an unexpected turn. Enjoy. There's more to come!
