We had a lot to say about the book and the film Ready Player One, so we’ve split this episode into two parts. In this part we will discuss Ernest Cline’s previous works, our reactions to the film, and whether or not Halliday is autistic.

Part 2 will be more focused on comparing the book to the film.
