Summary

Here it is, folks. A landmark episode deserves an epic running time. Welcome to the 500th episode of the Empire Podcast, recorded in front of a live audience at Kings Place, London, on Saturday, February 5, and featuring our most astonishing line-up of guests yet. There's Tom Holland (no, not that one), talking about Uncharted and spoiling the hell out of Spider-Man: No Way Home (seriously, maybe only listen to this pod after you've seen that film)! The Souvenir Part II director Joanna Hogg and her star, Bafta-nominated Harris Dickinson! Roy Kent himself, Ted Lasso star, Brett Goldstein, talking about fashion, swearwords, and blaming our Chris Hewitt for the pandemic! West Side Story's Maria, aka Rachel Zegler, on befriending Spielberg! Loki director Kate Herron with the inside scoop on Owen Wilson's moustache! And the captain of the Jackass gang, Johnny Knoxville, on what can only be described as Dongzilla! Phew! It's so packed that all the interviews are smushed together in one huge section that runs from 00:33:23 to 02:14.50. Either side of that, Chris Hewitt welcomes not one, not two, not three but FOUR colleagues of such lethal cunning -- Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, Amon Warmann, and Ben Travis -- for the mother of all Empire Podcasts, as they talk movie news (Scream! Fast 10! Baftas! Den Of Thieves 2!), review Moonfall, The Souvenir Part II, Belle, Jackass Forever, and The Eyes Of Tammy Faye, and answer a ton of audience questions. It's been weeks in the planning, and is our gift to you, our loyal listeners. Thank you for all your support over the last ten years. Here's to the next 500. Enjoy.

0:18.0	Oh, I like that. I like that. Yeah.
0:32.0	Alright, that's enough. That'll do. That's all the time we have on my fried folks.

0:50.0	Oh, that was fantastic. Can you do every live show please?
0:55.0	Thank you very much indeed.
0:57.0	I am Chris Hewitt. Welcome to a very special episode of the Empire podcast. This is not our 100th episode.
1:04.0	Oh no. This is not our 200th episode. It's not even our 300th episode. You know where I'm going with this pretty much.
1:11.0	It is the 500th episode of the Empire podcast.
1:15.0	Actually, if you count all the interview specials and the one-off that we've done and the ranking episodes,
1:21.0	and I really should have drunk some water before I did this, but anyway, it's all good.
1:25.0	And all the spoil, especially as we've done, is actually closer to 946 episodes.
1:30.0	But that's not really a milestone, is it? But 500 episodes is, as is, 10 years.

1:58.0	Yeah. A lot of things have changed since we started the end of this podcast back in 2012.
2:03.0	When we started this podcast, Marvel Studios was just taking us first flinching steps towards world domination.
2:10.0	And May was still alive.
2:16.0	That's a callback to something that hasn't happened yet.
2:25.0	Yeah, that's right. I could do fucking time travel.
2:28.0	We hadn't even seen the first Avengers, let alone Avengers Endgame. We didn't know that one day we should talk about portals. Can someone write that down, please?
2:36.0	As far as I was concerned, the MCU was a Scottish university. Give it time.
