Superb Adaptation
Not quite as good as the book but a well made and fairly faithful adaptation. Worth a watch. Then a second.

Movie Favorite Watch

"A total classic from George Lucas, pre Star Wars. It's the start of pop culture going retro, as it created a whole kind of rock & roll revival with records being reissued and that double LP soundtrack being released. It's the past informing the present so it's important in terms of pop culture and teen films. It influenced a couple of other movies that we're going to talk about later. And I love the music – 'I Only Have Eyes For You' and all those tunes. Fantastic."

Fantastic end to the trilogy
Fantastic ending to the trilogy. Poetic justice is served and all loose ends are tied. Brown leaves you satisfied but still hungry for Iron Gold.

Psych is full of pop culture references, buddy comedy, drama, and suspense. It is one of my favorite TV shows. There are many references only Psych-o's may get (PINEAPPLE!). It's definitely worth binging multiple times over!

Cut and Shut job done on the book (0 more)
Not a great book to film translation, but as a standalone look at VR and retro gaming it ticks many boxes, just don't read the book first!

If anyone fancies it, I admin a group over on Facebook that's all about pop culture, from movies to video games, and everything in between. Feel free to come and join! We're in the middle of voting for the best comic book movie of all time at the moment, and there's still time to have your say.

Just search for Neon Nan's Culture Shock 🤘

Book Favorite

"Most everything I know about Nigerian cooking, I’ve learned from Ms. Aribisala, the nation’s finest culinary writer. She writes with emotion, grace and good humor about pop culture, history, geography, art and economics, all through her very personal stories of food and sex."

The dialogue (0 more)
I liked a lot about this book. And I respect it 100% for how it influenced pop culture. But the dialogue was so dated (especially when the children were talking) that it really took me out of the story.
