Show Notes
This week, we're diving into the immersive and mind-bending virtual worlds of Ready Player One (2018) and eXistenZ (1999).
Both films explore the thrilling and sometimes terrifying possibilities when virtual reality becomes so real, it's hard to tell where the game ends and life begins. Ready Player One presents a future where people escape to the OASIS, a VR world where anything is possible, while eXistenZ delves into the darker side of gaming, where the line between the game and reality blurs dangerously.
Join us as we explore how these films challenge our perceptions of what's real and what's just part of the game
