For Episode 7 Evan critiques "Ready Player One" for its predictable story beats and corny romance, describing it as a movie he’s “watched 100 times before.” While he appreciates the high-quality animation, solid intellectual property references, and alright acting, he feels the overall experience lacked originality. Christian, on the other hand, passionately defends the movie, praising it as fresh, entertaining, and deeply relatable. He highlights the emotional impact it had on him, almost bringing him to tears, and applauds its exploration of escapism through pop culture and gaming. For Christian, the movie was a heartfelt celebration of the very things he loves as a way to disconnect from reality.
