Hello and welcome to another very special MPa podcast. Today we've got Warwick Davis in

the interviewee's chair. He's talking about the 25th birthday special edition Blu-ray

of Willow as well as Harry Potter, Star Wars, the Leprechaun series, Hitchhiker's Guide to the

Galaxy, Life's Too Short, the list goes on and on. It's 40 minutes in total and the people

in the interviewee's chairs are Helen Haara and Felder Semmelon. Enjoy.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special issue of the Empire podcast. We are joined

today by one of the biggest box office stars in history, nearly $9 billion at the World Wide

Box office in his lifetime. Warwick Davis, welcome. Thank you. $9 billion.

$8.895 billion. We should have seen it. Tell me you've got back end on that.

$9 billion. That's quite a lot of money, isn't it? It's all right, I know.

I mean, that's not relative to anything really, isn't it? I mean, saying those figures is crazy

talk, but yeah, thank you for that. It's a lovely introduction. Well, no problem. Welcome.

So you're here in particular, I guess, to talk about Willow, which is now on Blu-ray and DVD.

I'm very excited about this. I'm a long term fan of Willow. Genuinely, my little sister,

we were talking the other day and she's been, she's gotten married. They're not having babies yet,

but they're thinking about it. And they're at least thinking about baby names, which they

quite enjoy thinking about. And Elora is one of them. Elora, that's a nice name. Yeah, over the

course of the last 25 years, it's Willow came out. I've met lots of Elora's, lots of Willows,

male and female. Yeah. No, there's been no others. No, Mad Martin's. No, Mad Martin's funnily enough.

It's odd, isn't it? But yeah, there haven't been any Mad Martin's. No Fin Resells, no

frangines, maybe in France. Maybe. But yeah, 25 years ago, that film was released.

And it's amazing to think that here we are again, talking about it all those years on.
