Really? Explain. I'm curious how they're connected and why I have to watch it. Big Iron Giant fan here.

The Iron Giant shows up as a vehicle/avatar in Ready Player One. It’s a neat reference but nothing more.

A more appropriate Iron Giant pairing would be Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

I loved Ready Player One thought the film was fantastic. My double bill for it would be:

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (original) + Ready Player One

Yeah that's a pretty good pairing.
I had the benefit of watching Ready Player One without knowing that the Iron Giant was going to show up at all.
So it was a cool moment, as like many people, I'm just such a huge fan of that movie that to see that big damn robot back on the screen - was just cool.

I was thinking Whiplash and La La Land. Extremely similar themes told by the same director through extremely different styles.

Still have yet to see La La Land, it's in my own but still haven't watched pile. I liked the idea or theme of obsession and how it can destroy a person when I came up with Whiplash and Prestige.
