On this weeks episode, we dive into the 8-bit world of Ready Player One!
This very popular novel from 2011 is set in a dystopian world everyone uses the OASIS as an escape!
The OASIS, similar to todays vr headsets, allows its user to visit fantastical worlds of pop culture and fantasy.
This book is considered to be amazing to most but not all the same feelings are shared about the movie adapted by Steven Speilberg.
So will this pixelated, pioneering, pop culture power trip succeed? or will the plethora of pointless, pathetic cameos and problematic plot changes poison the original product?
Warning! This episode will contain major spoilers for the books and strong language!
