Summary
In our final entry in our "movies about video games that aren't based on video games" we take a look at the be all and end all entry defined by those very specific parametres, 2018's Ready Player One. In a future bogged down in nostelgia to the detriment of a crumbling society it's up to a group of plucky internet savy individuals to unlock the mystery of the Oasis, a Virtual Reality space where your wildest dreams can come true. If your wildiest dreams are like, walking around and Batman is there or the Delorian or whatever. Probably the most unusual choice for Steven Spielberg to direct but hey, he certainly threw a lot of stuff in it. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravanna Garbage, a very special one. |
| 0:03.6 | Why? |
| 0:04.1 | Because it's the final video in our movies about video games, but they're not based on video games. |
| 0:09.9 | I mean, there's certainly some video games in it, isn't there? |
| 0:12.2 | There's... |
| 0:12.7 | All the cool ones from the 80s. |
| 0:14.6 | And more modern ones, but not totally modern ones. |
| 0:17.3 | You know, you will see a tracer. |
| 0:18.7 | The 80s. |
| 0:20.3 | Battle Toads. |
| 0:22.7 | But stuff from the 80s. Yeah, |
| 0:26.8 | stuff from the 80s also. I love stuff from the 80s. Do you love stuff from the 80s? Let's have an 80s party. Let's wear 80s clothes. I don't want to have an 80s party and I don't want to wear 80s clothes. Is that |
| 0:31.9 | all right? Don't you want to dress as Bukaru Banzai? Famous character Buccaro Banzai. Don't you want to walk down that canal? |
| 0:38.8 | Like at the end of Buccaro Banzai and we're there? Whose favorite movie is Buccaru Banzai? Peter Wellers. Maybe. I don't think it is. I don't think it is. It's probably one of the Robocop movies he was in or that Star Trek reboot he did or whatever, into darkness or whatever. Maybe. |
| 0:52.3 | Got. |
| 0:52.5 | So we're talking about Ready Player 1. |
| 0:54.2 | Yeah. |
| 0:54.8 | Which came out in 2018 and was just like, what if something you remembered... Sorry, what if everything you've ever remembered is presented to you in one slick package? Just what if everything you've ever remembered, you remembered it again, but it's mushed together like a manufactured meat. Yeah. You know? Please leave a like. Oh, please. I look, I didn't like this when it came out. And look, I'm not saying I like it now because I definitely don't. Yes. But for me, if I just kind of didn't focus on everything that was happening in the background and when you'd see Freddie Kruger get shot with a laser or whatever. He does, which is good because he's a child molester. He's a child molester. Well, we don't know which version for Freddie Kruger that was. That's true. Wait, was the reboot Freddy Kruger also a child molester? No, the new one is. The old one wasn't. He was just a child killer. Okay, great. That is great. That is |
| 1:45.8 | great. This might just be in the audio version. No, no, no. I think this will make the cut. It's important |
| 1:51.3 | information. Okay. But I do think there's some, like a little bit of Spielberg pizzazz to this. |
| 1:56.8 | Okay. Not a lot because it's choked with Battletoads and whatever else. And stuff from the |
| 2:02.0 | 80s. And Ninja Turtles and Beetlejuice and the Joker and... Joust from the 80s. Harley Quinn and |
