Summary

If this week's episode of the Empire Podcast seems even more incoherent than usual, that's because it was recorded very early in the morning. Mind you, that doesn't explain why Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara and James Dyer are incoherent at the best of times, but we digress. In this episode, our intrepid trio tackle a listener question about Dodgeball 2 and end up answering a completely different Q; discuss the week's movie news, including almost everything that emerged from CinemaCon; and review Peter Pan And Wendy, Polite Society, and The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry. Chris also has lovely chats (but, crucially, not booty call texts) with the stars of that movie, Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton, and David Lowery, director of Peter Pan And Wendy, who reveals his love of Event Horizon. Do you see? Yes, we see. Enjoy.

0:00.0	The Empire Podcast This Week We are joined by the director who wouldn't grow up, David
0:19.6	Lowry, director of the brand new Peter Pan movie, Peter Pan and Wendy. Plus we're joined
0:25.5	by two authentic members of British acting royalty, the unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Frye
0:30.7	stars, Penelope Wilton and Jim Broadbent. Oh, it's a little bear! All that and more on the
0:38.4	movie podcast, it isn't a little bear. It's still in its pajamas because this podcast has
0:43.2	been recorded at Stupid O'Clock. So even more so than any episode in our history, apologies
0:52.0	in advance. Hello pod, I'm Chris Uitt and welcome to the Empire Podcast, which is no word of a lie.
0:58.2	Being recorded on Friday morning, it is 6.24 am. Now I know how breakfast TV presenters must feel
1:07.2	why we doing this. I'm sorry. Yes, it's Helena Harris fault. It is genuinely Helena Harris fault.
1:14.1	Although you could, if you wish to blame the guardians of the galaxy as well. I think we could
1:18.4	probably say, I can't be Helen, we could say why you're, we could say why you're getting us up
1:23.8	early geek. Yeah, the embargo will be up by the time this goes up. But you can't break the embargo
1:28.7	because you haven't yet seen the film. Because I haven't yet seen the film or indeed time the embargo.
1:32.0	And you're not telling people about the thing. You're not telling people what you thought about
1:35.6	the film because you haven't seen the film yet. Indeed, I can't. I literally can't. I thought it was
1:39.5	a film that that's my only thoughts probably so far. But no, I'm going to see Garnes the Galaxy
1:44.7	this morning and it messed up our entire recording schedule. But then I'm going to write the review
1:49.8	hopefully very quickly and hopefully get it on time online in time for the deadline. Because there's
1:55.5	nothing like a well considered well thought out review to really get the the juices flying. It's
2:02.5	extraordinary. Sometimes that instant reaction is the right one. I'm hoping. Yeah, it's just going to be
2:06.9	like 480 words of I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot. And then you just hand in put star writing
2:12.1	on the end. What how are you in my computer? Hey guy, that's the way to do it. All right. Well,
