Ep. 40 Ready Player One

Ready Player One: The Know Nothing Nerds is a podcast hosted by two hosts who know nothing, discuss nerdy topics in order to learn something. You can find us on Facebook at Know Nothing Nerds, or facebook.com/knownothingnerds. You can find us at twitter @KNNerds, or you can email us at [email protected]. Send us your fact checks, new topic ideas, or just to say hello. We’re on patreon if you want to make us rich, you can head to patreon.com/knownothingnerds. All music in the podcast was written and produced by me Luke, if you need any music made for anything you can contact me through all the KNN social medias. I do take commissions. In the description of this podcast you can find our show notes. They will also be added to a blog somewhere at some point. Thanks for listening, we’ll see you next week when we discuss Disenchanted a new netflix original series written by Matt Groening -- In this episode of the podcast of the podcast we talked about Ready Player One, a movie that I swore to avoid until Twich mentioned that he wanted to talk about it one week. I saw the trailer and it didn’t really appeal to me. I was not expecting to love it half as much as I did. Going into it I was expecting a playful romp with cheesy romance and I got exactly what I expected. Yet it was elevated to some extreme that I have a hard time sitting here and putting it into words. I have always been a sucker for romance in films, even cheese ball romance. Ready Player One, for me, goes above and beyond anything I was expecting. Something that Twich and I wanted to do with our comeback was to show that we didn’t take this time off as a vacation. So we revampt everything, from the ground up. I produced all the new music, subject to change in the future though. I also redid the graphics. And that’s something I’m pretty crazy about. At 1:06:36 I went off on my nostalgia rant, so if you are looking for a millenials view (no one is) on nostalgia in the internet. Notes on the music during the quiz: While editing I realized I hated the quiz music, so next week we will have new quiz music! Thanks for listening this week, I hope to at some point get better at the show notes and figure out what you are actually put in these. So please let me know!
