Today on Happy Second Feused Simon Peg on Stephen Spielberg, Star Trek, and Star Wars.

Hey guys, I'm Josh Horowitz.

Welcome to another edition of Happy Said Confused.

As I said, the guest on today's show,

one of my favorite human beings, Simon Peg, nerd icon, I mean that in the most affectionate

way when I would dream of being a nerd icon, the man has been in the Star Trek franchise,

not just been then. He's been Scotty for God's sakes and co-written one of the films.

He's been in Star Wars, Mission Impossible, and then of course we gotta give thanks to the great

Cornetto trilogy, Sean of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Worlds End,

him and his collaborators Edgar Wright and Nick Frost really delivered on those three

films and I think they'll I know he and Nick are working on stuff

and I know he and Edgar are continuing to talk so more to come from that that trio

I'm sure in the future but Simon's always one of the good guys, easy to talk to. He's definitely cut from the same cloth, easy to geek out on all manners of pop culture, whether it's comic book movies, sci-fi, action and adventure.

And that's certainly appropriate for this conversation

on today's episode.

Simon was in my little office to talk about Ready Player

One, which is currently the number one film in theaters, and it is indeed a Stephen

Spielberg spectacle.

It is definitely Stephen Spielberg doing things that only Stephen Spielberg can do, directing action and

adventure and utilizing visual effects like very few people can.

It is certainly worth seeing on a big screen with great sound. I've seen it once. I want to check it out again at least one more time on the big screen because there is a lot to take in to this film.

If you've seen it, you know it's based on Ernie Klein's
