Summary

Episode 500 of the Empire Podcast may have taken place in February, but we're continuing our quest to bring you recorded versions of all the shows we mounted on that day. And the latest is the live edition of beloved/besmirched podcast semi-regular segment, The Three Fact Structure, in which host Chris Hewitt takes it easy while Ben Travis, Helen O'Hara, and James Dyer work themselves to the bone by presenting an obscure, unusual, or arcane film-related fact. This pod may only be 20 minutes long, but it packs a punch, as Helen talks about sex, James talks about loads of stuff at such a speed that it's honestly hard to tell what he was banging on about, and Ben talks about Pooh. Lots of Pooh. Oh, and there's a singalong too. This may be the way we do The Three Fact Structure from now on (live, with a 20-minute limit), so let us know if that tickles your factual fancy. Either way, enjoy.

1:29.6	just 20 minutes and if you've never heard a three fact structure before well don't worry I explained

1:43.1	fast and singing about poo. Enjoy. Wow that's the the timer hasn't started counting down.

2:00.4	we're boldly continuing on despite the fact that Jason Isaacs almost single handedly stopped it
2:05.3	in our last live show when he pointed out that it's actually a really really fucking stupid idea
2:09.4	which in fairness Helen and James been telling me ever since but anyway if you don't know what the
2:13.6	three fact structure is welcome to it here welcome to it quite frankly it is a show in which
