On the Empire Podcast this week, we mark the occasion of Friday the 13th by inviting along horror expert (and friend of the show) Corin Hardy to the pod booth. He's here to chat about his supernatural chiller The Hallow – and spill some tantalising beans on his long-gestating remake of The Crow.

Also this week: we say a fond farewell to an Empire legend. After 17 glorious years, Ian Freer is moving on to pastures new. We invited him into the pod booth for a fascinating potted history of his dazzling career, from being chummy with Steven Spielberg to having Robert Altman put the phone down on him.

Plus: the usual news, reviews, and general film-based waffle.
