Honest Trailers Commentary - Ready Player One 

How much longer can we keep the ALAN joke going? One: Speak up and join the conversation- we encourage respectful debate. Two: Respect your community- racism, misogyny, homophobia and hate speech aren’t tolerated. Three: “Be nice.” - Dalton from Roadhouse

ALAN!

Absolutely had me screaming at "Alan!" Good job guys!

Seriously - this conversation was refreshing. Can we have more level headed conversations between someone who hated, someone who loved, and someone just enjoyed a movie.

Joe reacting to finding out the war games part of the book was amazing

"Sneak it into me."

spencer repeatedly calling swing dancers swingers was a highlight of my day lmao. great trailer as always, guys!

Dan was savage this episode 😂 good for you Dan, get it out of your system, never seen him like this, outside Dan rants. Loved the "Allen" joke. Keep up the GREAT work, I've been here since movie fights episode 1, and watched all you guys have made since, even PLUS, I miss "what's in the box", could that somehow come back? Love from a loyal fan.

why was spencer so enthusiastic in the opening 😂😂

Bev from Stranger Things? You mean Barb right? This is so much more injustice for Barb

I really thought Spencer was gonna say, “Hellooooo I’m the nostalgia critic”

I would be perfectly okay with every honest trailer having an Alan! Gets me every time lol

I hope you see this comment guys. THANK YOU, thank you for bringing up the “lip service” to the character with the facial difference (birthmark). I’m saddened to hear that they still tried to hide her scar and it will be interesting to see how others respond. Because you’re right there’s a floor of beauty you must be on in order to be cast and the fact that it’s 2018 and that STILL happening is stupid.

Do an Honest Trailer for "Deep Blue Sea" when "The Meg" comes out.

The movie lost me from the very beginning with the title card, because they bypassed the opportunity to have the title be part of the movie. I mean in the book it literally says once you put on the headset the first thing the game asks is "Ready Player One?". I mean they even went through the trouble of animating going into the headset with him, then you just... cut to black with white titles? I'm with Joe on this one, I got no magic or wonder from the film.

Dan threw out a Squirrel Nut Zippers reference! Wow, glad to know he's a fan. :) You guys forgot "Dr. Strangelove" for the Kubrick park idea.

Keep a hidden Alan forever😂

I was also a theater techie. They let me play with flash powder...it was a lot of fun.

Alan!

I agree with Dan. Seeing this on the big screen was crucial. I went opening night and was just in awe. I saw it 5 times in theatres because of that feeling.

I remember when the Zoot Suit Riots broke out. Long hat feathers clogging out city streets and all those disfiguring pocket watch chain injuries. It was horrific.

I absolutely love watching these 3 together.

I chuckled at Dan's "Parks of Glory" in the Kubrick park pitch. (Stop Worrying and Love) The Bomb Ride.

This is actually top 5 movie this year for me. I dont know, leaving the theater i was so happy and it was such a blast

Joe is spot on about not caring about the characters. This movie ripped the heart out of the book the moment they let P and A meet IRL before the end.

Joe’s laughter at the WarGames part of the book is just magical. 😂

I already knew that Jon had an (obviously) epic voice and is amazing at the voice overs, but this trailer really highlighted his talent for me, he is incredible and so funny! - the bit where he sings pure imagination is magic!!

Pardon me, but Charles "Charlie" Matthew Hunnam was born in Newcastle England. (He's not Australian.) (Too bad.)

The incantation IS from Excalibur, dudes. Krull! Give me a break. But seriously, a lot of fun as usual.

ALAN!!! And like 30th

you all looked exhausted. Hope you are getting/got some well-deserved rest.

The Alan! bit will always put a smile on my face

*I never saw this movie. But when Simon Pegg came up in the honest trailer I thought “Oh Simon Pegg is in this.”*

I honestly couldn't see Simon peg either. Not even now.

Spencer, La Villa Strangiato is also my favorite Rush song. Had to watch a live performance after you mentioned it. Clearly I am not a big Rush fan, as I did not know about their era of long, beautiful haaair!

Last week Spencer's outro was outstanding. This week was all about that intro. Also, all that talk about British actors adopting American accents and no mention of how strange it was to hear Martin Freeman do an American accent in Black Panther.

I’m kinda surprised that when the movie came out nobody compared it or mentioned Lemon Demon’s Ultimate Showdown (of ultimate destiny)

6:22 Joe's laugh here sums up my feelings about the book. It's all quite ridiculous.

Dan, I believe it was the Worms version of the holy hand grenade. No rabbits, no bit, just a really big boom.

Just listening to them talk about being nerds for stuff 50 years ago.... Aaaand I'm super in to music from the 20s to the 50s 😂😂 Called out!

Simon Pegg pulling the wool over the eyes of Joe and Spencer by doing an accent kills, forever, the argument that Superman wearing glasses wouldn't fool Lois Lane.

Joe's laugh brightens my day!:)

Great Show as always

Spencer appreciates a good Rush reference? My man!

Me during that whole discussion at around 18:30: *sits in the corner mumbling* thirty year cycle.... thirty year cycle...... thirty year cycle.....

"Sneak it into me" PHRASING 😂

A microscopic cloud of Steve Buscemi's... Is that a reference to the end of Fargo? Lol

Canary’s were used to signal the ‘safety’ within mines and if the miners noticed that the canary was getting weaker and/or died, then that told them that the air was toxic and they would retreat to the entrance.

Tessa Thompson has the best fake British accent

I haven’t even seen the movie and I knew it was Simon Pegg just from the quick flash of him with the Arthur Slugworth credit. Crazy how Spencer and Joe didn’t know 😂

From the director of Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan...

"La villa strangiato"...great pick Spencer!!

Joe should read the book even just the 1st challenge because I understood your frustration with "1st" to drive backwards.

Woah Spencer! I said exactly the same thing about reverse Matrix sequel.

I love the Nostalgia Critic opening. Lol

I didn't HATE this movie, but I really didn't care for it, which is a shame because Spielberg is my favorite director and the story has a lot of promise I didn't care about the characters or the conflict. There weren't any real stakes. There's the whole "ugly" thing that made me mad TBH. Maybe worst of all though, the message is crammed and feels insincere. And it felt like it didn't understand nerd culture. It felt like an imitation of nerd culture. It advocates the "real fans" bs and acts like being a fan is just memorising trivia. It never talks about WHY anyone loves nerd stuff. Also I didn't believe for a MOMENT that the real world was an awful place where the only thing worth time or effort is the oasis. No one looks malnurashed. Everyone is clean and has nice clothes and a place to live. Like, the worst it gets is the idea of living in a trailer. Oh no

Do the Goonies because why not

My favourite Rush song is Xanadu. Proud that I can play the opening licks, chords and riffs. Not much else though! :D

I just discovered the commentaries after years of watching the main honest trailers and love the commentary and I’m confused why the commentaries were on a different channel for so long. That being said I tried so hard to pass it by but couldn’t help myself and didn’t see it mentioned in the comments (didn’t scroll to the end though) but canaries die of asphyxiation and not gas in mines. That way if the canary dies, then the miners know they shouldn’t go deeper because the air will be too thin for humans.

As a former theatre actor and part time set guy and techie enforcer (my main job was to yell at people for touching their damn mics). I’m not surprised in the slightest that dan was a Techie he always reminded me a ton of the lead tech guy for out plays in his demeanor. Also yes it was stage right

😤😤😤 cmon Tom Sawyer as an answer TWICE?! Fly By Night? Spirit of the Radio?! Freewill?! YYZ?! Closer to the Heart?! Limelight?! LITERALLY ANY OTHER SONG YOU COULDVE SAID BUT YOU GUYS DECIDED TO JUST SAY Tom Sawyer TWICE!!!! I love you guys. I honestly sometimes love these more than the honest trailers themselves. Keep it up!!

When Spencer was talking about taking the middle course, I really wanted a reference like “As Jimmy Eat World taught us...The Middle is always the best course of action.”

What made me want to watch this movie is the best pitch of all time: Joe hates it, Spencer is meh about it and Dan loves it. That makes me quite fascinated by it and I will definitely have to watch it. Thank you for the pitch guys. I do have to say that every since I heard about the movie and saw the trailer I am most excited about the fact it references Shining :D :D :D

the Holy hand grenade pissed me off so much! THEY HAD ONE JOB TO DO!

Hey for that Kubrick land you gotta have the Slim Pickens on a nuke roller coaster!

I'm really happy you guys put in the Holy Hand Grenade bit in there, I was so annoyed when I saw it in the movie

The Holy Hand Grenade bit was actually more of a reference to the Worms video games franchise I think

Barb Joey boy its justice for Barb

Alan! Oh, and Limelight for my favorite Rush song.

HONESTLY, ready player one can become a pretty great franchise : Its got thousands of cool and unique unexplored planets like Ludus and some other physics defying planets. Directors can let their imagination run wild with a concept like the OASIS. its got some complexity cuz of a parallel storyline set in the real world(Things happening in the real world and virtual world simultaneously). Due to this you can add some lit scenes in the movie too( like the scene where the bad guy is trapped in the OASIS, but doesn't realise it). The real world reaction/effect of what happened in the OASIS and vice-versa is a great source of humour. A lot of physics defying shit can happen in the OASIS(telekinesis, time travel, shape shifting, flying, measuring heartbeat from far away etc.). I say again, Directors can let their imagination run wild with a concept like the OASIS. The characters in the virtual world most of the times have never really met each other in the real world, this can be used to add a lot of intellectual stuff in the movie and adds a lot of suspense and the character interactions and the character reveals are actually very funny. I liked the movie, but anyone that has read the book will agree that speilberg barely managed to capture 5% of the vastness of the OASIS. There are thousands of cool planets in the Oasis which weren't shown in the movie.

Don't tell Joe about how another challenge was to know Ferris Bueller's Day Off by heart.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only who took issue with the lack of correct Monty Python counting.

Bev from IT.. or Barb from Stranger Things?

Definitely my fave Alan so far! Also, it's Barb...

Parks of Glory! Good one, Dan.

Thank you Joe. It's 1,2,3.

To go off Dan I completely agree with having to see this on a big screen. I saw it the first time on IMAX and LOVED it. Then showed it to my nephew on standard in theaters and the awesome visuals weren't there and hindered the movie a lot. This is a movie like Avatar where it doesn't hold up without IMAX

Great trailer guys

Please do The Thing from Another World, The Thing, and The Thing!

You guys really should’ve gone with the last title lmaooooooooo

Agree with Joe -- about 5 minutes in I went "oh no" - because the voice over exposition was still going on.

Hey, I know all the words to one week by Barenaked ladies. I must be a true fan!

Let's be honest after he completed the first challenge other players would he killed him at took all his stuff in the game

Ok but honestly, about the whole Simon Pegg conversation :D I watched doctor strange and something kept bugging me during it, like something was off and I didn't know what, and it took me literally the whole movie to figure out that it was Cumberbatch doing the American accent and I'm so used to his British one that it somehow registered but I couldn't figure out what it was for ages 😂 (but also I'm not a native English speaker so I don't really usually even notice when someone changes their accent, that's why it was so weird that this one specifically confused me so much XD )

Do an Honest Trailer for Gravity Falls please.

Charlie Hunnam is from Newcastle, England by the way

The nostalgic analogy they were searching for would be like people today being obsessed with 1960s and 1970s pop culture.

I think part of the reason nobody had driven backwards before was that character death actually meant something. They wouldn't risk losing everything they owned just to try and play around.

i noticed Pegg right away i don't know what joe and spencer are talking about 😂

¡Manos: Hands of Fate!.. that made my day

Picking my favorite Rush song is so difficult. Xanadu? Freewill? Jacob's Ladder? Can I say 2112 or would I have to pick a specific movement?

I didnt watch any of his british movies, but knew immediately that was Simon Pegg.

I didn't see the movie, and didn't know Simon Pegg was in the movie, and I immediately recognized him. "Pegg-man?" Is that code?

My favorite Rush song is Hand Over Fist

Sneak it into me.... brilliant

Agree, Simon Pegg is revealed only 2hrs into the movie

Oh you poor noobs, Oddjob was slightly shorter than the rest of the choices in Goldeneye 64, giving you the advantage of smaller size and different head positioning for putting off headshot pros. You are welcome for that advice that would have been helpful some 20 years ago.

Actually when they freeze framed the old man Simon Pegg, he looked like Emperor Palpatine in the prequels.

Honest Trailers commentaries is Dan and Joe screaming at each other with opposite opinions and Spencer in the middle undecided

SQUIRREL NUT ZIPPERS!!! lol!
