We discuss the latest episode of Empire, "Sinned Against". A lot happened this episode. Laz was found out by the Lyon's. Anika has fully gone crazy. Andre an Rhonda received a very generous gift. Jamal has a new love interest, and Carol has fallen off the deep end.

We enjoyed the episode, but of course we still had some problems with some of the story line and the execution. We will be back next week to cover the mid season finale.

We would love to hear your feedback. Hit us up at empire@theverdictsin.com

Thank you for listening!

Alright, alright, alright....this was a good episode. Empire brought their A-game. The Freda/ Hakeem battle was epic. Freda is a beast and she should have been crowned the champion, but we will leave that to Kanye to still someones shine. We are starting to question a few things, such as Rhonda's pregnancy, the deal that Mimi and Lucious signed, and what Anika is really up to. We only had a few problems with this episode, which we discussed, but we thought this was a step in the right direction.

Let us know what you are thinking. Send your feedback in to empire@theverdictsin.com and we will discuss it on the podcast.

Thank you for listening!

We recap the latest episode of Empire, "Fires of Heaven". The music on this episode was hot! Hakeem really brought his "A" game. Lucious gives his family an ultimatum. Andre and Jamal are both longing for Lucious' attention. Cookie whips Hakem's girl group into tip top shape, but that wasn't enough to keep them. We are also very suspicious of Thirsty, and think he cant be trusted.

We discuss the latest episode of Empire, "Without A Country". Lucious wins again. Jamal is back to singing and do interviews. Andre's heart belongs to Empire, and it's Hakeem and Cookie against the world. 

We loved the prison scenes, although some things were jut not believable. We do not trust Lucious' new lawyer, Thirsty. We are also tired of the Cookie Anika beef.

Gary and Nicole discuss the season two premiere of Empire. We jump forward three months after the season finale. Lucious Lyon is still king of the jungle. Cookie is still trying to work her magic and do what she feels is best for her children. However, Jamal is turning into Lucious junior. We hope this is a temporary thing, and the old Jamal that we love and care for will return. We get to see Anika twerk, and we are introduced to a new character who goes by the name of MiMi.

We loved Empire's season one finale. There were so many highs in this episode, Jamal winning the Empire, and his sort of rap battle. We also loved the other gifts that Hakeem and Andre were rewarded with. Lucious is finally being brought to justice. Cookie and Anika went head to head. We cant wait to see where the characters go next in season two.

Gary and Nicole have made it to the end of Season one of Empire. We enjoyed this episode very much, and all the OMG and jaw dropping moments. We both agreed there were some things that the characters did, that were completely different than from how they were originally portrayed, but that's tv for you. Some of the high moments were Hakeem's diss song and Jamal getting all the love he deserves.

We only have one epsiode left and on to season two. 

Thank you for listening!

Here we are at episode ten, "Sins of The Father", which was entitled very appropriately. The oldest Lyon brother is going through a very difficult time, luckily he has a wife who has his back. Jamal steps up to be a better father, but is he really Lola's dad? Hakeem performs new music, but loses his girlfriend before the night is over.  Lucious is finally shot down by Cookie, and she has moved on to another.

It was another great episode. Be sure to let us know what you think, you can reach us at empire@theverdictsin.com
