Klein's first film that was made was Fan Boys in 2009 and was actually inspired when his mom passed away. A renewed sense of mortality caused him to go through a bit of a crisis dominated by thoughts of Star Wars. The whole book, the whole arc of the book is just about, are you a true fan? Are you really, do you really know enough about the things that you like? To be atrue fan? Yes.
Put another quarter in the coin slot folks, because it's time to talk about Ernest Cline's Ready Player One. Topics include bad fan culture, the narrowness of the characters' "exhaustive" knowledge of 80s popular culture, and why the critical response to this book has shifted so much in just a few short years.
