Episode 74 - "Three hidden challenges test worthy traits, revealing three hidden keys to three magic gates. And those with the skill to survive these strengths will reach the end, where the prize awaits."

Welcome "Gunters" to another new episode of this here Silver Screen Podcast. If you didn't infer from the reference, this time we're looking at Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Ernest Cline's ode to geek culture 'Ready Player One'. D.K is our Parzival this episode, alongside co-host Mike (who's recovering from an Oasis-esque geek experience at North-East Comic Con). They're "clanning up" with two guests; returnee and Gundam fan Tobi and first-time guest (and another self-proclaimed 80s "anorak") Glenn. They'll be talking Easter Eggs, references, writing, direction, pop culture, how the film relates to the source novel and much more. So pause your copy of 'The Shining', strap into your X1 haptic bootsuit, grab your Zemeckis cube, dress your avatar like Buckaroo Banzai and join us in The Distracted Globe. No Sixers allowed!
