RELATED STORIES

We don’t yet know who is behind WandaVision’s seemingly perfect alternate reality — is Wanda the architect? Or could this be the work of a malevolent force? — but the Disney+ series is clear about who runs the suburban town within it.

In the second episode, titled “Don’t Touch That Dial,” we were introduced to Dottie Jones (Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Emma Caulfield), a Regina George-like figure who, according to Agness (Kathryn Hahn), is the “key to everything” in Westview.

She’s married to Phil (who was fired by Vision’s boss in the first episode, “Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience”) and isn’t particularly fond of the show’s titular heroes. (“I’ve heard things about you, you and your husband Vision,” she told Wanda during an icy exchange.) It’s unclear what her role will be as the story picks up, but judging by her memorable appearance, she’s just getting started.

“The whole thing’s a lot of fun,” Caulfield tells TVLine.

A jarring scene at the gazebo suggested there’s much more to Dottie than she’s currently letting on. When Wanda told her she means no harm, the well-dressed homemaker said she doesn’t believe her. Both women were then interrupted by Randall Park’s FBI agent Jimmy Woo calling to Wanda through the radio. The confusing moment seemingly snapped Dottie out of her sitcom character, and she questioned Wanda’s identity before shattering a glass in her hand, cutting herself in the process. Jumping back into character, Dottie made an off-the-cuff joke about bloodstains, and the moment was quickly forgotten.

“It’s incredibly disconcerting for Dottie to hear [the voice in the radio] as it is for Wanda. Both of us are having a surreal moment for very different reasons,” Caulfield explains. “But in the end, it’s terrifying for both of us, and there’s that element of gaining control of ourselves again.”

That bizarre moment is one of several that have left fans buzzing about Westview’s resident queen bee. In another, Wanda and Vision put on a disastrous yet hysterical magic show that briefly featured a fluffy white rabbit. The cameo has been interpreted as a nod to Caulfield’s beloved Buffy character Anya, who notoriously feared bunnies in the Joss Whedon series. However, Caulfield reveals that she didn’t make the Buffy connection until it was pointed out to her.

“I shot it, and I didn’t catch it. I didn’t have anything to do with the rabbit. This is Wanda’s action. It’s her magic act with Vision. I did not catch it,” she says. Caulfield reveals that she texted WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer, who she previously worked with on the 2009 sci-fi film Timer, to ask if that was an intentional reference.

“She would have said something if that was her intention, to put that little Buffy Easter egg in there. She never said anything to me about it, so I think it’s pure coincidence,” she adds, while noting that “it would make sense that somebody would throw a fun little Easter egg in there like that.”

The lively character has impressed with their two performances so far, singing last night to Tone and I’s hit Dance Monkey.

Despite some confusing clues, many fans remain adamant the feathered personality is JLS star Aston.

Last night, clues seemed to suggest the person behind the mask is a professional footballer. 

During Robin’s latest clue package, they said: “Sport has always been a huge part of my life, this chick is always on the go.

“Athletics track, out on the pitch for a kick around, I always knew I would be a footballer…”

But Aston has links to football with fans thinking the new clues have been brought in to act as a slight ‘red herring’.

  • The Reverend Edward Ganster is among hundreds of priests named in the Pennsylvania grand jury investigation that revealed a mass child abuse scandal across six Catholic Church dioceses.
  • Ganster was first accused of abusing a teenage boy in 1977 when he was a priest at St. Joseph’s Church in Easton.
  • He left the church more than a decade later to get married.
  • The diocese reportedly gave the priest a reference for a job at Walt Disney World, where he worked as a train driver in the Magic Kingdom for 15 years.

A Pennsylvania priest who tortured a teenage altar boy for more than a year worked at Walt Disney World after leaving the Catholic Church, according to the bombshell grand jury report released earlier this week.

The Reverend Edward Ganster is among hundreds of priests named in the grand jury investigation, which found that 1,000 children across six dioceses had been abused over 70 years as Catholic Church leaders covered up the allegations.

NEW ORLEANS—Despite the ever-connected nature of life today, there remains a moment that all of us eventually encounter. Whether talking to a friend, texting with a family member, or emailing and chatting with coworkers, a word pops up that simply stymies. Wait, what does that mean?

Update: In a new interview, Steven Spielberg clarified his comments about being able to secure rights to Star Wars franchise so he could reference it in Ready Player One. Our original article follows, as well as video of Spielberg explaining how Lucasfilm cooperated after all.

Ready Player One is jam-packed with references to the pop culture of yesteryear, but an early version of the script featured a huge shout-out to a certain 1977 sci-fi classic which director Steven Spielberg ended up cutting out. And it may not be from the movie you’re thinking about. Discover the story about the one big Ready Player One reference that was abandoned, and learn which huge film franchise Spielberg and his team could not secure the rights to below.

I had the chance to attend the film’s press junket in Hollywood yesterday, where Spielberg, the cast, and writers Zak Penn and Ernest Cline were on hand to answer questions from a small crowd of journalists. The panel was asked to explain which of the movie’s pop culture references resonated with them the most, and Penn’s answer led to an interesting reveal: the spaceship from Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind almost found its way into the movie.

Penn: The spaceships [are my favorite]. I really like that there’s the Galactica. The ship from Silent Running, which I think Steven was the one who pointed it out, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, of course! The Silent Running ship!’ Because you wouldn’t let us put in the mother ship from Close Encounters, which I had originally –

Spielberg: There comes a point when I would have had to just refer to somebody else who liked my movies and not make a movie about my movies. I let a couple of little iconic characters in from my films – especially the DeLorean, which came from the book directly – but otherwise, there were a lot of things we could have put in but didn’t.

Penn: Oh yeah, and if I could just say because it’ll never see the screen, I had this joke about parking the mother ship and how difficult it would be. I don’t blame Steven for [cutting it], I didn’t know Steven was going to be directing the movie when I wrote it!

***

Back in 2016, we learned the director had removed many of the references to his own films from Ready Player One, but now we’re slowly starting to learn exactly what those references were. The Close Encounters mother ship might have read as a huge neon sign that said, “Look at me!” Since there are still a few classic Spielbergian references that ended up in the final cut, leaving this one out was probably a wise move.

Turns Out Lucasfilm Cooperated After All

Update: In this video interview, Spielberg explains that, despite his earlier comments, he was able to secure the rights to Star Wars for Ready Player One:

That’s very strange, because here’s what Spielberg said at the press conference when asked about how he managed to secure the rights to the film’s plethora of pop culture properties:

Spielberg: Is [producer] Kristie Macosko up here? Kristie spent three years with all of the Warner Bros. legal people getting the rights to all of the – and we couldn’t get all of them. We couldn’t get any Star Wars rights. Very hard – they wouldn’t give up the Star Wars rights.

Ben Mendelsohn: Could have called me on that one, Steve. (everyone laughs)

Spielberg: It took three years, Kristie, right?

Macosko: Yes. Weekly phone calls.

***

I’m not sure why he would offer that Star Wars comment (totally unprompted, by the way – no one mentioned Star Wars except him), only to backtrack on it a little while later. I thought it was strange that he wouldn’t be able to secure these rights from Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy since they had such a long working relationship (Kennedy produced a ton of Spielberg’s movies, going all the way back to E.T.), but it turns out he was able to get what he needed after all.

In addition to the hidden R2-D2 and an X-Wing, there is one Star Wars reference in Ready Player One. I won’t reveal it here, but it’s spoken out loud, and you can’t miss it.

Ready Player One hits theaters on March 29, 2018.

If you’ve read Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, you know that it’s absolutely steeped in pop culture references. The lead character is a pop culture junkie and there’s barely a page that doesn’t contain some sort of explicit reference to a geek property. While in the book the main character is all about the 1980s, the latest trailer for the film adaptation shows that director Steven Spielberg has eased up on the references to the movies (some of which were references to his work!) and used other, more current media instead.

It works either way, as Ready Player One is set almost entirely inside a virtual world where anything is possible. We all know from experience (and Minecraft) that when given a sandbox nearly every person will use that power to recreate something else someone has already made.

There is a staggering amount of references here, and we scoured the latest trailer to find every single reference and character we could, although there are undoubtedly more.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 1

Ready, Player One?

The trailer begins by introducing our protagonist Wade Watts, wasting no time dropping the names of numerous superhero names as he walks to his home in the Stacks. This is a lousy neighborhood in futuristic Columbus, Ohio, a vertical trailer park, but who cares when you have virtual reality to escape to? Unlike the book, our protagonists aren’t chubby losers (they’re quite good looking and thin on screen), but they still can’t compete with all the wonders of the virtual world.

But even the real world isn’t free of references! Graffiti on a wall near Wade’s home features the blue Madball Repvile. Never heard of Madballs? They were weird little monster bouncy balls that were popular in the 1980s. According to their official Facebook page, they have a presence in the film, so we will see if there are more to be found.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 2

A Trip To the Oasis

Everything is drab and grey and all the people of the town are standing around wearing virtual reality goggles, all plugged into Oasis. Imagine Oasis as a VR Second Life that people actually want to visit, a magical land where there are no worries about copyright infringement and limitless activities to pursue. As Wade puts on his headset we get a tunnel sequence that looks similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

We now meet his avatar, Parzival, who wouldn’t look out of place in a Final Fantasy game. His name alone is a reference, this one to the German romance story by Wolfram von Eschenbach. In that classic tale, the protagonist is on a quest for the Holy Grail, in case you were worried that this was actually a more subliminal reference.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 3

The Race

The first thing to do in this new world? Get into a race. Along with the the many stock cars driven by the baddies of the film (Innovative Online Industries, or IOI) the cars in the race are from all over the spectrum. We’ve got the truck from the A-team, Speed Racer’s iconic Mach 5, Mad Max’s Interceptor from The Road Warrior, and Batman adjusting his seat in the Batmobile from the 1960s TV show. More unrealistic is that there’s only one of each car – you know that everyone in the race would be picking the one with the best stats.

That hulking figure making his way to a car is Ryu from Street Fighter, just the first of many video game characters to appear.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 4

The Wheels 

As in the book, Wade drives a modified Delorean from Back to the Future, which features K.I.T.T from Knight Rider lights on the front and a license plate bearing his avatar’s name. That’s a bit different than the book version’s Delorean, which has the Ghostbusters logo on the side and proton pack and ghost traps inside, as well as the Oscillation Overthruster from Buckaroo Banzai and a music library stocked with ’80s music and movies. If that’s not enough, the license plate says Ecto88 and yes, Cline actually made the car. (Remember when I spoke about subtle cultural references?)

Also note that his belt buckle is the Thundercats logo.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 5

The Bar 

Before we see the race proper, we see Wade walking into a bar past what appears to be DC Comics’ Deathstroke and no doubt dozens of other characters hiding in the darkness. He meets his love interest Art3mis (the Goddess of the hunt, natch)  at the bar and successfully demonstrates the haptic feedback suit that Wade was gifted from IOI. Haptic feedback is a very real thing that can let you feel things in the virtual world, and clearly will be a game-changer for the tech.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 6

The virtual bar is absolutely packed with familiar faces. Commander Shepard (or at least, the inferior male version) from the Mass Effect trilogy facing away from the screen on the left, and Blanka from Street Fighter can be seen directly behind Parzival. A robot bartender wears a Energy Dome Devo hat while serving drinks, and a pre-reboot version of Lara Croft is seen sidling up to the bar on the right.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 7

The Quest

Then we’re pulled out to get the story’s plot. The trillionaire who invented Oasis has died and left the world a quest worthy of Willy Wonka. James Donovan Halliday is shown with a pin of the game Simon on his shirt, a nod to a man who loves puzzles. His last puzzle is an easter egg hunt, one that will grant the winner a half a trillion dollars. Much like Wonka, he didn’t consider that this quest would make the world go crazy and cause evil organizations like IOI to mass a force to find it, and his puzzles require an insane amount of geek knowledge in order to pass them, or at least they do in the book.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 8

We see the world reacting in shock to this news, and the easter egg itself, which seems to lie on top of the Double Dragon logo.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 9

Most importantly? The screen pans past a Wired magazine featuring Halliday, as well as a QR code that can actually be scanned. If you want to get into a little scavenger hunt of your own, you can head to the official website it leads you to at jointhequest.io. Let us know if you have any luck logging into it, as you’ll need a password.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 10

The Bike 

Not to let Wade have all the references, we next see Art3mis’s red bike, which is clearly influenced by the film Akira. Later on, we’ll see that it’s decked out with decals that show off everything she’s into. On the front, you can clearly see the Wonder Woman logo, as well as a Ms. Pac-Man decal and one from the video game company Taito. There’s also the logo for The Greatest American Hero (a seldom-mentioned superhero TV show from the early ’80s that’s really only known for its theme song), the Sega logo, and Hello Kitty to wrap things up.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 11

As she makes her jump we can see a billboard for Delta City (from Robocop) as well as Bigfoot: The Original Monster Truck. Anyone who didn’t grow up in the ’80s or ’90s should know that Saturday morning bigfoot championships were a thing on TV.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 12

Might as Well?

Van Halen’s “Jump” kicks off next and so does all the action, as the big evil corporation hates that Parzival is in the lead and tries to destroy him. They hunt him in the game and in real life, destroying his home in the Stacks and leading him to find the real-life Art3mis.

Ready Player One Trailer breakdown 13

The song is timed so that Eddie yells “Jump!” just as King Kong leaps off the Empire State building.
