Summary

With Chris being off on.... *looks up the term* a 'ho-li-day', it's up to the lethally cunning Helen O'Hara and the consistently megalomaniacal James Dyer to hold down the fort alone, largely by dancing on the grave of the Three Fact Structure and plugging the Pilot TV podcast every third minute. Beyond that, though, Hell's Bells and Jimbo manage to re-cast the Discworld with members of the MCU and remake a number of 80s fantasies for the modern era (hypothetically, you understand - they haven't set up a studio). Plus they dive into this week's releases and give Free Guy, The Courier, and CODA the full Empire Podcast treatment. Not to mention the fact that Jodie Comer joins us on the podcast this week to chat all things Free Guy, while Uatu The Watcher (aka the legendary Mr Jeffrey Wright) steps away from the multiverse of possibilities to talk to us about What If?

from his computer to take some honest to god time off.

0:44.9

So I'm afraid you're stuck with me.

0:46.8

But never fear because I'm joined by three colleagues of such lethal, sorry, wait.

0:51.4

No, it says here that John is out news gathering and won't be able to join us.

0:56.7

But that's okay because I still have two colleagues of no, sorry, I've just got another text.

1:02.4

Ben is apparently ill.

1:04.2

Get well soon, Ben, sorry about that.

1:05.8

But that's fine.

1:06.8

I'm joined by one colleague whose lethal cunning will have to be sufficient to make up for

1:11.1

the absence of literally all the rest.

1:13.7

It's James Dyer.

1:14.7
