OK…. so, the last attempt to watch every film on the Ready Player One challenge list failed somewhat. But never one to be put off, I’m giving it another go. The Ready Player One movie is scheduled for release on the 30th March 2018, so I have until then to cross as many films as I can off this list. I’ll be live tweeting my viewings, and we’ll be talking about each film on the show; so make sure you stay tuned to our Twitter for details.
