This week's Empire Podcast sees the man anointed as Empire's Legend Of Our Lifetime... talk to Steven Spielberg. Here all week. Try the fish.

Yes, at long last we spiel with The Berg, as Steven Spielberg – former Empire editor, and director of one or two classic movies – chats to Chris Hewitt in the immediate aftermath of last Sunday's Rakuten TV Empire Awards, where Spielberg was given the above honour. From discussion of Ready Player One to The Beatles, it was a blast.

Elsewhere, Chris talks to Simon Pegg, star of Ready Player One, about all things Spielberg. And then Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and Ben Travis to review Unsane, Pacific Rim Uprising, and A Wrinkle In Time. They also tackle the week's news and answer a question about sequels. Enjoy!
