How do films make you feel? The Independent gets personal about cinema and TV with actors, directors, cinematographers and other people from the continually evolving world of "content" in a new fortnightly podcast hosted by Culture Editor Christopher Hooton.

After breaking through as Denise in Netflix's Master of None, Lena Waithe has found herself doing motion capture in Steven Spielberg's new action-adventure epic, Ready Player One. She talks about working with 'kind soul' Steven Spielberg, growing up in the South Side of Chicago, and the future of Master of None following the whole Aziz Ansari situation.
