Ready, players? Here it is - Empire's spoiler special dedicated to the latest movie from Sir Steven of Spielberg, Ready Player One, the biggest slice of virtual insanity since Jamiroquai donned that big hat and slid all over the shop.
It starts with an exclusive, spoiler-filled chat with Ernest Cline, the film's co-screenwriter and author of the book upon which the movie is based. He talks to Ben Travis about bringing the film to the big screen, how they formatted the three tasks structure, and the film's shining hour: a trip inside a classic movie.
Then it's to the podbooth, where Chris Hewitt recruits James Dyer and Empire's resident Spielberg expert, Ian Freer, to talk about the film in great detail and answer some reader questions. On your marks. Get set... Go!
You can listen on Soundcloud, Planet Radio, or your podcast app of choice. ENJOY.
