So, I’ve already had two go’s at this with my NerdVsWorld co-host, Brendan (https://twitter.com/NerdVsWorld). But I have just re-listened to the Audible book and thought I’d give it one more try. This is the complete(ish) list of movie references from the Ready Player One book. I’m going to try and watch all of the movies from the list over the course of the next year.
I’ll update this post with every movie as and when I watch it. Keep an eye on my Mastodon account for updates. https://onenerdarmy.net
