It's a killer week for films, with Transformers: Age Of Extinction, Boyhood, How To Train Your Dragon 2 and Begin Again all officially out this weekend, so this particular issue of the Empire Podcast is bumper-sized. This is partly because of our interviews with young acting hotshot Jack Reynor and Texan old hand Richard Linklater, but it's mainly down to all the reviews.
Then there's the news section, which covers everything from George R. R. Martin's willingness to extend his middle finger to the Disney decision to bring** Dumbo **back in a live-action feature film form. As for the Q&A portion, well, make sure you know your Baldwin brothers from the Sheen clan, because we talk in details about acting dynasties, and things get a little hairy.
