On the Empire Podcast this week, we welcome a veritable calvalcade of A-list stars, of the calibre and number to rival a primetime television chat show. Four guests and ninety minutes of premium film-related chat. We spoil you.

First up, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson drop by the pod booth to discuss Zoolander 2, the curse of being ridiculously good-looking, and walking on the catwalk at the Paris Fashion Week.

Then, we coax a bona fide national treasure into our booth, the almighty Stephen Fry. Ahead of his 11th BAFTA hosting gig, he regales us with tales of ceremonies past, as well as his place in, and thoughts on, cinema today.

Finally, we talk to Ryan Reynolds, star of Deadpool, and enthusiastic purveyor of creative swearing. His interview is one part of a larger one yet to be revealed - keep your eyes peeled for a more spoilerific chat in our Deadpool Spoiler Special Podcast, due next week.

Plus! We debate the best movie couples to go on a double date with for Valentine’s Day; we give our picks for this year’s BAFTAs; and we ponder the strange friendship of Graeme Souness and Dale Winton. Standard podcast nonsense.
