Steven Spielberg. Colossus of film. Father of the modern blockbuster. Gamer. Ernest Cline. Author. Dreamweaver. Redditor. United, these two titans bring us the ultimate in entertainment product, that last movie ever made, the one where a guy jumps Doc Brown's DeLorean over the Iron Giant while RX-78 Gundam Fights Mechagodzilla. This week, the gang tackles the film that defines the death of cinema: Ready Player One. Nicole has an unprecedented meltdown over the abuse of Kubrick, Stu dissects the truly terrible source material, and Cole theorizes on how this nadir of insular pop-culture self-referentialism led Spielberg from a career nadir to the recent highs of 'The Fabelmans'. All this and much more in a tubular epic winsauce episode that you don't want to miss!
