I’m going to go ahead and declare The Empire Film Podcast my all time favorite film podcast (with Filmspotting a close second). The official “pod” of Empire Magazine features host Chris Hewitt along with a rotating panel that usually includes the likes of Helen O’Hara, Phil de Semlyen, Nick de Semlyen, James Dyer, and Ali Plumb.
The crew is equally comfortable whether they’re discussing arthouse fare or mega blockbusters, and their encyclopedic knowledge of all things nerdy is second to none. The podcast features movie news, reviews, and interviews with big name players in the film industry, but the real draw is the chemistry among the British hosts as well as their whip smart senses of humor.
