Do I get a rubbish trophy, bought off of Amazon for £6???

We’ll be back next year for an all-day celebration of our 15th anniversary. Date to be announced soon (those in the room are already in the know). Tickets going on sale soon after that.

I think this picture sums it up. Was a great show (from where I sat) filled with glorious chaos, including the live debut of Not Mastermind For Legal Reasons, and the awarding of the world’s shittest trophy to Corin Hardy, who celebrated by doing a flying kick in front of the audience. Lovely.

Because that would cost a lot of money, for one thing. And no, I kinda love it.

It’s come to my attention that we’re not using our full allocation of Team Empire tickets for tonight’s live show at Kings Place. You can, of course, still buy tickets online or at the box office. Or be one of the first to respond to this with the phrase GIMME GIMME, and I’ll put you on the list.

Came out of review retirement to bang on about the funniest film I’ve seen this year. You don’t have to read the review (which reminded me why I hate writing reviews). Just take my word for it and seek out GAIL DAUGHTRY AND THE CELEBRITY SEX PASS. www.empireonline.com/movies/revie...

Gail Daughtry And The Celebrity Sex Pass review: Arguably the funniest film of the year

Zoey Deutch is on a mission to hook up with Jon Hamm in David Wain's raucous comedy. Read the Empire review.

Any questions or comments for our Brand New Day listeners’ questions spoiler, folks? We’re recording it tomorrow, as long as my train back from Paris is on time! Slide into my DMs! Don’t talk to The Hand!

Just saw Sade working in a branch of Joe And The Juice. She’s a smoothie operator.

Thank you. Another one dropping soon! I may be on holiday but I WILL NOT STOP!

Just putting this out in case you’re a Hewitt and you’re thinking of making a terrible podcast. That’s my job, son.

The last thing the world needs right now is another Hewitt making a terrible podcast.

They really have thought of everything.

A second viewing of THE END OF OAK STREET has confirmed my suspicions: this film rocks and rolls and is, thus far, my favourite of the year. And THAT moment — I think you know the one I’m talking about — is perfection. Going to do a spoiler special on this when I get back to Blighty next week.

God knows. Not ready to come to terms with Mo’s departure. Slot, on the other hand…

Once again, I’m running my 3 Points Is A Recommendation league in #FPL. Join me at the rarely visited intersection between Empire and football! Defeat me with your squads filled with actual good players, unlike mine, which boasts a bunch of bums. Here’s the code: vvieu5

Just watching Logan Lucky on Sky. There’s a scene in which a group of rioting prisoners demand that The Winds Of Winter be added to the prison library, only to be told that George R.R. Martin hadn’t finished writing it. He still hasn’t. Logan Lucky came out in 2017.

Yes, I’m counting Duel. No, I’m not counting one-third of a movie.

I’m hoping that Evil Dead Wrath, if it is a 70s-set prequel, has a spark of humour. Then again, the 70s were a grim time for horror, so maybe not!

I’m awful at those rounds. One-nil to Campbell!

If anything had happened, at least we would have known who to blame it on.

For the sake of clarity, this is pure bravado. Bruce would kick my ass, literally and figuratively.

You should have been on both teams, rushing back and forth like Clark Kent/Superman double-dating in The Quest For Peace.

Was this at the Boogaloo? The Bigger Boat Quiz? I started entering that later with some pals when I lived in East Finchley. It was stressful. Once word got out that a couple of Empire peeps were on my team, we were marked men every week! Felt like John Wayne in The Shootist.

He’s echoed my thoughts exactly, particularly about Evil Dead Burn, which has none of the joy of Evil Dead II.
