About this episode

The episode reviews the film Ready Player One, exploring its themes of nostalgia and virtual reality.

In our final entry in our "movies about video games that aren't based on video games" we take a look at the be all and end all entry defined by those very specific parametres, 2018's Ready Player One. In a future bogged down in nostelgia to the detriment of a crumbling society it's up to a group of plucky internet savy individuals to unlock the mystery of the Oasis, a Virtual Reality space where your wildest dreams can come true. If your wildiest dreams are like, walking around and Batman is there or the Delorian or whatever. Probably the most unusual choice for Steven Spielberg to direct but hey, he certainly threw a lot of stuff in it.
