Ready Player One: The Ultimate Pop Culture Movie? – Phil and Chuck return with their take on a pop-culture-driven-Tom-Holland-would-be-jealous-nerdfest… Ready Player One!
Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One is a cautionary tale disguised as an adventure. It takes us to the year 2045 at a time of chaos when the planet is teetering precariously on the brink of collapse. People look to an expansive virtual reality universe called the OASIS in an effort to find salvation from their miserable lives in the real world. It’s a warning from the future wrapped in a fun and entertaining ride on the Spielberg Express.
So strap on your VR goggles and come along with us as Phil and Chuck chat about an eerily possible future that some might say is already coming to fruition! Metaverse anyone?
