After the Credits Episode 232: Littlest Hobo Media Spew – March

Though TV has still been keeping the ATC crew busy, it seems as though a friendly reading rivalry has sprung up among the hosts. Reading is NEVER a bad thing so this is a great revelation!

This week, Colleen, Dale (Letterboxd) and I (Letterboxd) check in and share what we’ve been watching, listening to and reading and get into a fairly extensive discussion of the merits of one of biggest movies of the last few weeks: Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One.

Two stories we mention on the show in connection to Ready Player One:

• Tracking Board artcile on Art3mis
• Vox article on the book and movie post Gamergate

If you haven’t already subscribed to the show, you can do so on iTunes, Stitcher Radio, Pocket Casts and Google Podcasts and while there, be sure to drop us a rating. It doesn’t seem like a big deal but it helps us grow our audience!
