To truly appreciate the glory of Ready Player One, one must first and foremost be a true purveyor of pop culture.

To watch this movie is to be bombarded with an endless stream of pop culture references and homages, including Street Fighter, HALO, Back To The Future, King Kong, Akira, Godzilla, The Iron Giant, John Hughes movies, and even Monty Python And The Holy Grail.
