#417 — Simon Bird

On this week's Empire Podcast, we make a new friend — PODCAST FRIEND — in the shape of ex-Inbetweener Simon Bird, as he tells Chris Hewitt all about making his directorial debut with the charming comedy, Days Of The Bagnold Summer. Features more Guess Who? chat than you could shake a man with a hat and glasses at. Then, in the virtual podbooth, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Amon Warmann to discuss the Black Lives Matter protests that have been happening all across the globe this week; answer listener questions; natter about movie news, including Ryan Gosling playing the Wolfman, and Evan Peters joining WandaVision; and review Days Of The Bagnold Summer, The County, Banana Split, and Atom Egoyan's Guest Of Honour. Enjoy.
