"Ready Player One tells you it's Wreck-It Ralph, but actually it's Pixels." New levels of savagery have been reached.

>Pat mistakenly calls the movie a game >Crazy Talk activates >Fast Forward a few months >Ready Player One: The Game announced at E3

"Did you clapped at any of the new moments and memorable characters?" "Were there any?" "No"

Pat: "...it's Iron giant, a movie that I have not seen, for the record." Matt: "That explains a lot about you." It really does xD

"I have a couple things to say about this movie" (56 minutes later)

The fact that Battleborn is in this movie at all classifies it as sold-out tripe.

A friend of mine who's a major 80s fan somehow went this entire time watching YT and TV and never saw anything about this movie, so the first time we ever talked about this movie, I told him the negative stuff about this movie, and then he said this. Him: "Are the Transfromers in it?" Me: "No" Him: "Phew, good, we don't need them getting ruined even further in movies."

I loved Matt's deadpan "why" at the beginning there.

After watching several reviews of Ready Player One, the thing that strikes me is that no one can agree on who this movie is for. As faril as I can tell, it's for people who at some point have liked a thing.

Ready Player One is a book about a society with no future trying to escape to a fake past that lacks context because it's impossible to build anything new, and corporations try desperately to control and dominate a cultural sphere they don't understand. The author unknowingly made a crowning tribute and satire of our own cultural decline and that's why RPO is secretly smarter than it was meant to be. It's Vaporwave: the Movie

“Look at the videogame things and clap you fucking troglodytes”. Sometimes Matt is really, really on point

Ready player one is basically just VR Chat without its limiters

"You are who you choose to be." RPO Iron Giant: ...Zack Snyder's Superman...

You've never seen Iron Giant? YOU've never seen Iron Giant? YOU have never seen Iron Giant?!

My official review of this movie is: I had more fun watching Joel from Vinesauce stream 8 hours and 40 minutes of Desert Bus.

Pat is the first person to dislike this movie as viscerally and specifically as I did. I feel validated. So that's what it feels like.

I don't think there is a movie more naval gazing and fart sniffing than Ready Player One.

I mean a big problem I have with ready player one is that it has references with like, no context. no analysis. pat here has done more work in this video than Kline did writing the story.

One issue that none of the reviews (even Pat's) do not touch on is the Resistance. After Wade meets Art3mis, they go into a warehouse full of people and then she says, "Welcome to the Resistance." That played out crap wasn't even in the book. She comes off as a solo, independent woman who doesn't join clans, but then it turns out she has a room full a people; with tattooed muscleman included. This network of Resistance fighters was a waste of time because within 20 minutes they are found and captured by the baddies, and are never mentioned again. And the fact that these people never seemed to go into the Oasis with Art3mis just made me wonder why they bothered introducing this aspect.

I loved the part when Marisa Kirisame used the Spirit Bomb fueled by the energy of the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi to defeat the fusion of Sans from Undertale and Big Band from Skullgirls. Oh, that didn't happen? Does it matter if it did or not?

VR Chat: The Movie

53:52 "Look at these video game things and clap, you fuckin troglodytes." That should be on goddamn the DVD/Blu-Ray case.

We accidentally found out who this movie was for. Matt.

Okay but you know what really pissed me off about the ending? When the bad guy gets to the trailer park and everyone's about to throw down, but then he pulls out a gun and suddenly THE ENTIRE ANGRY CROWD JUST LETS HIM RIGHT ON THROUGH. Because one singular guy has one singular handgun.

You literally just pay for "Pop Culture Reference the Movie".

“Funko Pops: The Movie” sums up Ready Player One pretty well

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World still remains unbeaten in that "nerds movie" category

I get *2* Black Panthers

Oh man Matt came up with the best idea: M.U.G.E.N. the Movie.

Movie studio: “Let’s show how cool, relevant, and hip we are referencing popular culture!” You mean popular culture that happened 30- scratch that, almost *40* years ago?!

I just found out that the Iron Giant was supposed to be a giant Power Ranger robot from an old Japanese Spiderman show. Now I feel cheated.

A movie full of references isn’t necessarily a bad thing; a movie that painfully explains and draws your attention to all of those references IS. Like most other retro-themed movies and TV these days, it’s way too busy shoving all of their cool shit down your throat to let you enjoy how cool it should be. They’d rather pander to their audience like Dora the Fucking Explorer than attempt to be subtle or interesting.

Battleborn is in this movie?! And in every large group scene to boot? Wew, that's like making a Childhood Memories scrapbook for the abortion you just had.

IT BROKE NEW GROUNDDDDDD

The thing Matt mentions about treating girls that aren't "normal looking" like they're going through a "phase" and they have to be brought out of it is exactly why I don't like The Breakfast Club.

I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW IT

By the way I like that Master Chief is his Halo 4/5 design, only for E3 a month later to show Master Chief is back to the his old Halo 2/3 design. (And thank god because his old design is waaaaay better.)

No matter how bad the movie is though, the book is worse. The book is *awful* and it's premise is the only thing worthwhile about it.

*IT BROKE NEW GROUND*

I knew what Woolie meant about the Snow Crash comparison. RPO is like a weak, YA version of it.

I already listened this in the podcast and I still watched this video. Pat complaining is his natural state, the most purest joy.

god dammit pat, you nailed it POINT for POINT. it would have been a blast to watch it with you

This might sound dumb, but the whole idea that everyone involved in the final battle just gets taken out by a big bomb at the end puts me off going to see the movie. The whole hell yeah moment of the army of heroes charging into battle, just gets completely deflated by that kind of thing.

Thank God you guys are finally up loading these here

Nintendo didn't want any part of this, yet they gave their ip to Adam Sandler...

The reason Ultraman wasn't in the movie wasn't because Tsuburaya productions said no it's because someone else claimed to own Ultraman. So the reason he's not in the movie is because Japan was exploding over WHO OWNS ULTRAMAN?!

I love Pat's reviews of movies. I do hope he indulges in it every so often.

I can never tell when Pat's going to love something that's stupid and dumb or when he'll hate something that's stupid and dumb. It seems arbitrary.

I'm glad Matt noticed the funko pop audience, I commented that also on RLM video lol.

RPO uses the same formula that the Wayans Brothers used with Scary Movie to make comedy, only RPO used it to get "I know this thing!" feelings.

I'm so glad to hear woollie bring up Snow Crash. What an amazing book.

I'm going wait for it to go online because why would I pay for a movie that's just a mixture of movies I already own.

Some people seemed to think that the use of the iron giant “defeated the arc of his character” despite being essentially a fortnite skin being played by someone. *years later this still astounds me

I forgot about this until about a week or two ago because it came out on DVD and we have copies at the place I work.

awww yeah, more Patcast!

Man that movie must be torture for the mere fact that the "real world" looks like it has way more interesting things happening in it than the losers and their dumb MMO war. The RV stacks look like a way cooler setting for a movie than the sleek iLife oasis. It's great as a horror story. The dystopian future of 2040 where all of culture has stagnated to the point where Back to the Future and Battlestar Galactica are still relevant.It's a Hollywood wet dream straight out of your nightmares.

The book is meandering, preachy, and to be honest a bit dull. Ive tried reading it and tried listening to it....but damn am i not going to bother watching it. I might as well let this lay and die

53:49 that got me so good that I started laughing when Pat did lol

Give Up Machines: The Movie

I bet Woolie is just over the moon about the Make Yourself into a Funko line

whoa, this is an hour long. I'll just listen to the podcast when i get to it.

Glad to know my predictions were spot on.

Super late on this but the ultimate showdown is what you were asking for with the new grounds bit 😂 accurate

When they finna give up and post full podcast on the channel and start making the big bucks

Thank you for this! I had to skip this segment because I haven't seen the movie yet, and I definitely plan to come back to it once I have.

The most meaningful thing I learned from this is that Woolie hasn’t seen Avatar TLA and should rectify that ASAP.

SNOW CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!! oh god is THAT my RP1 nostalgia surge?!

Man I gave up on the book after 40 pages because of how poorly it's written. I don't even remember any references. I am a massive science fiction fan and this story is so low effort and uninteresting that it's not even worth getting upset about. I have a wishlist of a hundred audio books (most of which could probably be classified as sci-fi) that are made by people who have actual ideas and really tried to do something.

Things they cut: - The Funeral for holiday -Wade being fat -The planet being Fucked to the point Wade wants to leave the solar system - Wade being a low level newbie who can't afford to go anywhere -H posing as a white guy in the Oasis -Irock is a wanna be who hangs out with H and Wade who pretends to be a know it all hotshot and ultimately rats on H and Wade once they get their first key - Sho being Shoto and also Japanese. - The first key being in a dnd module & trail for the key is a duel in Joust - The gate is located in a copy of holiday's childhood bedroom playing on a Tandy & then they play a VR adventure game version of the old movie Wargames where you play the main character. - the second key is VR version of Zork & gate is in the replicant test in the Tyrrell Corp building, the old game black tiger by capcom. Here Wade gets Leopardon from SPIDA MAN sentai. -Daito is killed by IOI in their real world by being tossed out the window and frame it like a suicide. -The dance party where Wade fucks up by telling Artemis he loves her is thrown by "Og", the parter of Holiday, and his character stops the fight. -Wade basically tells H to piss off after his verbal fight with Artemis - Wade shaves his head, buys a fake identity as IOI thinks he's dead and moves to major city near Oasis' main servers, becomes a recluse who lives under an assumed name literally spends all day working out using a VR rig that has a run pad where he has to physically walk and run in order to go anywhere in oasis. buys a sex doll (not joking) and is generally in a meh state. -IOI get the thrid key first, Wade finds the key but is unable to think of a way to get to the third gate, which is on a custom DnD campaign planet . - He becomes desperate enough to purposefully allow himself to be captured using fake debt he put on the false identity to allow him to basically become indentured to IOI - he is able to hack Into IOI on the inside and grab the information they have on everyone and the 3rd gate, including the video of Daito's death and then escape by zeroing out his fake debt. - Og reveals he's been watching the events unfold using admin access to spy on the protagonist group and wants to help more directly -invites Wade and the other 3 leads who are alive (Shoto, H & Artemis) to come to his place to fight the final fight, Artemis and Shoto arrive first as they're not anywhere near H & Wade are. - this is when we find out H is a lesbian woman as she explains her back story as her and Wade drive. - Artemis, who has never met Wade in person in the book at this point refuses to see him until its over though he's wanting to see her - turns out you need 3 people who have the crystal key to get into the gate , so you can't enter the gate. -the Final gate is a VR recreation of Monty Python and the holy grail. - Wade Watts meets Samantha Cook for the first time in the garden of Og's home and the book ends before they talk. it's overall a lot of radical changes, some for IP reasons but others because of time and feel good factor, I'd like to see RP1 properly done as an HBO style mini series. but yeah can't win em all

Kenny was in the chat and he was SALTY

I.. agree.. with.. Pat?

God I love Snow Crash.

Battleborn showed up every now and again

Oh Wade was also played by Cyclops :D

This film should have been three films

Oh my god... thank you for this review. I felt the same way about this movie.

oh shit, Woolie loves Legend of Galactic Heroes! (mentioned in full podcast) he is a man of fine taste

Why does he clap? Why does she clap? I won't clap.

Pat looks like that wildling dude

I'd rather just enjoy the things that are referenced on their own.

the matrix was the best rendition of VR in movies

Am I in the movie?

So this movie is hidden in Woolie's apartment?

snow crash was great +1000

funny enough, when The shining bit was introduced, there was an audible gasp in the theater, and it actually got a couple of laughs as it went on. But i'm sure it was just because it was unexpected and relied on the fact that it was gunning hard for that shining nostalgia. I'll admit............. I was one of those people.

I liked it.

im calling birthmarks "war paint" now. thanks Matt!

Remember the Disaster Movie? It was like that but less comedic.

One thing you forgot to mention was that, in a movie whose virtual world centered around so many licensed characters, the main hero team was basically all "DeviantArt OC: The Team". Like, Mary Sue/Marty Stu to the max there.

*RPO MIGHT BE THE BLACK PANTHER FOR GAMERS*

This is a legit quote from the book: “They’re called the “sixers” but most people call them the “Suxers” because they suck.” I hate this shitty book so much, Jesus Christ.

What are you talking about Pat? Bowser is IN Wreck-it Ralph!

The Gundam cameo almost pulled me in. Almost.

Snow crash good book

The Turn-imater!

"You killed my MOTHER'S SISTER!!!" (but without the exclamation points)

I’m pretty sure in the book, Artemis’ face thing was purple and like really jarring at first. The movie made it barely noticeable.

I love that Matt is looking at his phone when he doesn't look like he wants to kill himself.

I made the mistake of watching this movie and the way through I had one thought "I'd rather be watching Tintin at home."
