Having just freshly watched the movie 'Free Guy', Antariksh is joined by fellow IVM staffers Abhineet and Hrishi to talks about what they thought of Ryan Reynolds' new feature, and then get into other movies that take you inside video games similar to Free Guy. They talk about Gamer (2009) starring Gerard Butler, The Matrix (which could also be technically considered to be in the genre), Ready Player One, Jumanji - Welcome to the Jungle, Tron, Spy Kids 3D, Zathura, and more. They discuss the kind of traits that can be often be seen in these films, which of them are their favourites, and some they aren't really fans of (Spy Kids 3-D).

Also, do tune in for the recommendations - Hrishi recommends the YouTube channel 'theRadBrad' YouTube channel, Abhineet recommends the podcast 'Virus 2062', and Antariksh recommends the YouTube series 'Barstool Pizza Reviews' on the 'One Bite Pizza Reviews' YouTube channel.

Highlights

• Facebook’s foray into the metaverse: “Facebook is now saying they are transitioning into becoming a metaverse company, away from being a social media company. But this isn’t anything new. They’ve been undergoing this transition for a long time, of course, with their acquisitions in VR and Oculus. But of course, they’re also trying to launch [Diem], which is their own cryptocurrency. That’s no coincidence. They understand that there will be this economic system that is woven throughout the metaverse.”
• Fortnite’s venture to the open metaverse: “Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games — who also has a duopoly on gaming engines with the Unreal Gaming Engine — he himself has stated that he believes the metaverse needs to be open for all the reasons he’s a sci-fi nerd, as you would expect as well, that we saw with Ready Player One. He fears that when he’s gone, Epic Games could be an evil corporation and it could have power beyond the wildest imagination. And it will try to seize control of the metaverse. So he’s already talking about the open metaverse. He’s just raised over US$1 billion to make Unreal and Epic Games more open.”
• Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are now the economic layer of the metaverse: “But if we kind of focus on NFTs, because I think that’s more generally how people will invest in the metaverse, these effectively are collectibles in different media types and different forms. But ultimately what they do is they restore the idea that you can have something that is digital and scarce, which is ultimately the web broke collecting. It made anything that was digital close to free, or at least people expected it to be free.”
• Why metaverses need interoperability: “Let’s say they get bored with the game and people always eventually get bored with the game. You can’t perpetually keep people locked in and entertained by a game. That could last for a decade. It could last for a year. It could last for a month. But ultimately they’ll get bored. And when they get bored, then what? Ultimately, in this case, all the value and time that they put into it is lost. They can’t transfer that out of that system.”

New episode time!!

On this episode we wish a happy anniversary to Jay and Silent Bob, I go on a road trip with a boy and his bubble, K takes a trip back to Arthurian times, for the second week in a row we ask the question "What If...?", I go guns blazing into the wild wild west, and we say goodbye to an absolute cinematic legend. It's then time for us to enter the Oasis and celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Ernest Cline's Ready Player One.

Stick around at the end of the episode to hear the newest single "Bring Me Down" from Atoms to Ashes.

Welcome back to another week of Movie Merge!

This week we are joined by my dad so that we can have a discussion about the 3 movies that he decided to pick for the episode. 

This episode was a great time that consisted of a Horror movie classic, a drama that tells a very in depth story with memorable characters, and a cool new sci fi movie with great visuals.

It's time to rate, review, and MERGE MOVIES!

Episode 001 - July 6, 2021

In the first episode of Ollie Pop, Ollie talks about top 5 movies and TV shows with his special guest, Uncle Justin. This episode was NOT sponsored by butterscotch hard candies but that could change if the Werther's people reach out to our people. Let's make a deal!

In Steven Spielbergs Science-Fiction-Abenteuer READY PLAYER ONE verbringt die Menschheit den Großteil ihrer Zeit in einer Virtual-Reality-Umgebung namens Oasis – wo sie in der Popkultur vergangener Tage baden und in ihre Lieblingsfilme, -bücher, -spiele etc. eintauchen können. In unserer Folge reden wir über Ernest Clines Roman, auf dem die Geschichte basiert, die Entwicklung des Films, […]

Ready Player One

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.
