Ep 92 - Ready Player 2 - Is It GameFAQs? Or a John Hughes Geocities Fan Page? It's Both!!
🕑 Added 2021-01-07 19:19:48 +0000 UTCConor states with confidence that this episode contains a chapter that is the dumbest and therefore the greatest of any that has been covered by 372 Pages!
The editor has taken her hand off the tiller and what we're getting now is pure, uncut Cline. That means level-by-level coverage of a video game, stupid-by-stupid vignettes of classic 80s movies like Heat and Curly Sue and, just for fun, a fuel bomb explosion that slaughters dozens of innocents in a city park. But, hey - Samantha has an Annie Potts avatar!
All the departments as well as archival audio of Agatha Christie and a Dark Web gem that Conor found over Christmas while avoiding his family.
READING ASSIGNMENT FOR NEXT TIME: Through chapter 21.

The obnoxious needle drops remind me of a subgenre of fan fiction called Songfic. Basically, the writer often shoehorns in his or her favorite song lyrics in the middle of the writing to lazily convey the emotions of the characters. Unfortunately, MCH is a very popular choice for this type of writing.

Surprised that Home Alone seems to be left out of the JohnHughniverse. It's more popular and more widely remembered than Career Opportunities or Curly Sue. And that Wet Bandit violence would provide even more welcome comic relief as the world is on the precipice of disaster.
