In this week's bumper Empire Podcast, the team discuss the arrival of Star Wars Episode VII in 2015 after Disney's buy-out of Lucasfilm, as well as interviews, reviews and other, admittedly marginally less jaw-dropping, pieces of news.

In the interviews corner, there's the eleventh Doctor himself, Matt Smith, as well as cinema's premier pie shagger, Jason Biggs, who came down to talk his politics-fueled latest, Grassroots.

Then there are a couple of minute-or-so long individual highlights from our other podcast specials, including the Sir Roger Moore podcast – click here to hear the whole 40-minute epic – as well as the upcoming Breaking Bad spoiler special, which boasts Bryan "Heisenberg" Cranston talking us through his thoughts on the first four seasons and, um, y-fronts.

But without any further ado, here's your extra-long, Star Wars-filled regular weekly podcast, available here on SoundCloud, our RSS feed or iTunes.
