EPISODE 25 (FIXED): Ready Player one, The Big Sick, News, Connect the dots, and more
HELLO FILMY PEOPLE! UPDATE: 17:33 UK TIME: We had a technical issue with this week's podcast however we believe this issue to be resolved. If you experience any issues please contact us via the methods below. Otherwise sit back and enjoy this weeks' Talk Filmy to Me.
A little bit late, but worth the wait! This week we review Ready Player One, from filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the science fiction action adventure based on Ernest Cline’s bestseller of the same name, which has become a worldwide phenomenon. The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). We go deep but no spoilers.
We also review the Amazon studio production The Big Sick, The Big Sick is a 2017 American romantic comedy film directed by Michael Showalter and written by Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani. It stars Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, Adeel Akhtar, and Anupam Kher. Loosely based on the real-life romance between Nanjiani and Gordon, it follows an interracial couple who must deal with cultural differences after Emily (Kazan) becomes ill.
And we wrap up with another round of Connect the dots.
