83 - Free Guy
from Games on Film Hosted by Games on Film
Harry and Rory return to the cinema for Free Guy, starring Ryan Reynolds as Guy, a background character in popular video game Free City, who discovers the world as he knows it is in fact a violent virtual playground. As he breaks out of his daily routine, he starts to bend the rules and become a hero, but when his actions draw attention in the real world, it's only a matter of time before the plug is pulled on Guy, Free City and all its digital citizens. Our hosts discuss AI, IPs and NPCs, as the film grapples with mainstream modern gaming, dabbles in existentialism, and stuffs the screen with nods, winks and cameos. But can Free Guy be enjoyed by gamers and non-gamers alike? This podcast contains SPOILERS for Free Guy (2021), from 33:40.
