Ready Player One was an explosive success both in written form and on the silver screen. The story of Wade Watts and his journey through the Oasis of James Halliday is one that is filled with charm and jam packed with 80’s nostalgia. While it might not be the most beloved work by literary critics, it is a joy to experience for anyone looking for a fun trip in a world enveloped with pop culture obsession.Watch the show on YouTube Buy Zach’s newest book, Something Strange at Grandma’s House: https://www.steellakestudio.com/booksSign up for our E-MAIL LIST: https://www.steellakestudio.com/emailTIMESTAMPS0:00:00 Introduction and Welcome0:01:05 Zach shares his excitement about writing his 2nd book0:02:55 Getting kids to like Lord of the Rings0:05:45 Cody talks about turning 300:07:40 Cody’s tips for people in their 20’s or just those who don’t have kids0:12:20 Zach’s perspective on meditation0:23:30 Cody’s story about the “healing” of meditation0:29:15 Zach’s 2nd book is OUT NOW!0:32:50 Do readers need to read the Terror Town series in order?0:34:03 MAIN TOPIC: READY PLAYER ONE0:36:40 The purpose of Ready Player One and the impact of 80’s culture0:39:20 History and background of Earnest Cline and Ready Player One0:43:20 The guys’ thoughts on the critical reception of Ready Player One0:50:45 Plot Synopsis of Ready Player One0:58:04 Fun facts associated with Ready Player One1:03:00 The main differences between the book and the film1:09:00 Earnest Cline’s other works and Ready Player Two1:18:25 Earnerst Cline’s characters were based on real life people1:21:00 Bought the book on a date night, read it in an auto shop1:27:20 Receiving the book as a gift1:33:30 Lasting Appeal1:44:49 GoodbyeThank you so much for checking out Parallel Quest.
