 Episode 003: Ready Player (Hater) One | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 52:44

In the latest, packed edition of the Spectacle podcast, Mike and Danny drill down on Ready Player One and the maelstrom of criticism it's received in both print and on screen. (Is it a return to form for Spielberg? Or is it more of a studio cash grab that trades heavily on nostalgia? Maybe it’s somehow both!) Also, Mike talks with Tori Preston, Deputy Editor of pajiba.com, about her career trajectory and what it takes to write a good advice column.  

 Episode 002: Past Pizza Car is Prologue | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 30:57

In this installment, Danny & Mike dip their toes into dystopian interpretations of current events but are brought back to the light by an uproarious new friend. The lads also try to talk about “Annihilation”, the film adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer’s “Southern Reach Trilogy” without spoiling too much (spoiler: they don’t succeed) and also offer some parting advice.
