Summary

The World's End is out this weekend, which probably explains why Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright were kind enough to drop in the podcast booth to talk all about it, on top of pitching a new movie set in Twickenham (in all makes sense in context). Also out this weekend is serial killer thriller The Frozen Ground, which starts John Cusack and Nic Cage, with the latter also stopping by to talk about everything from Daffy Duck to Mike Myers, not forgetting Expendables 3, mimes and hitting snakes with sticks (in self-defence, of course). Then there are the news, views and reviews you'd expect from the Empire Podcast team, including everything you could possibly want to know about Sharknado. Enough said, indeed.

there was, I'll be honest, some plans to host an art house takeover of the podcast, but there's

a note here from HR informing me that a single mention of Tarkovsky will result in my instant

dismissal. Whoops. Joining the fun this week is a man who subtitle would simply read

a man I may or may not be related to, but probably Am. He's a journalist so seasoned. His first job

DeSamlian. Zing, thanks Phil. I did, I was a runner on Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets

Yeah, and I basically bought food and put food out for people to eat in the chamber of secret.

Chris Columbus came up to me one day and said, I did that as one of my first jobs too.

Really, and look where he is today. And I got a bus home. Last up is a man who represents
