I don’t have much to say for this episode except:

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” - W. Shakespeare.

“You guys do planning?” - Phil

(๑•ૅㅁ•๑)!? Guys! What? 

Phil's after thoughts:

In this episode we really beat down on the book Ready Player Two as a novel that is so terrible we spent half an hour discussing just how bad Ernest Cline was in writing this book during COVID-19 lockdown. While I still defend my position (that this book is terrible), I do want to say that at least he tried. A lot of people write terrible science fiction (to your point), but at least they attempted to promote their idea (even if the idea is a blatant money grab). I feel like it is far too easy to critique, and while Ernest Cline deserves it, he should get some credit for putting himself out there (because Craig Alanson of Expeditionary Force said that he started writing books because he read a science fiction book so bad, he said to his wife that "he could write a better book" and that is exactly what he did; the terrible book serves as a motivation that others can do this too, but just don't expect to make any money out of it).
