About this episode

This episode features director Matt Johnson discussing his new film 'Tony' and includes reviews and movie news.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees director Matt Johnson return, just a few weeks after he was talking up Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. This time, he's talking to Amon Warmann about his new movie, Tony, which is a snapshot of a period in the life of a young Anthony Bourdain (played by Dominic Sessa). Either side of that, Chris Hewitt is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer to talk about movie news (Barbie 2 developments, or lack thereof; and rumours of the X-Men cast announcement), review Tony, The End Of Oak Street, Sunny Dancer and Lady; lament the apparent passing of one of their favourite food haunts; and see whether any director has a 13th movie on their CV that can go toe-to-toe with Chris Nolan's The Odyssey. This is a podcast that's not afraid to ask the big questions. Questions like, 'is Octopussy better than The Odyssey?' The answer lies within. Enjoy.
