A true legend stepped into the Empire pod booth this week. That's right, the Oscar-winning Pedro Almodóvar stopped by to talk about new film, Julieta. Phil also talks to him about what his version of Brokeback Mountain would have been like, and whether he's tried Antonio Banderas' range of perfumes.

The team also discuss the best sports-turned-movie-stars, review David Brent: Life On The Road and The Childhood Of A Leader, and discover an unconventional way to hand Bradley Cooper that prestigious EGOT.
