Empire Of Light review

Leigh and Tim do not agree on Empire Of Light! Join Popcorn Podcast for a lively discussion about the Sam Mendes drama, starring Olivia Colman, Michael Ward, Colin Firth and Toby Jones. The story of connection and the healing power of cinema set in 1980s Margate in the UK has your hosts seriously divided. Things get a little salty as topics bounce from the magic of a projection room to festy bathwater and teacup wankery.Plus, a new deal means more Lord Of The Rings stories; SAG Awards winners list sends a strong Oscars message; and Catherine Martin's exquisite costumes reign again.Know someone who loves movies?
