SUBSCRIBE to our channel 👉 ‪@sparkparade‬

Matt and Trevor from Cheat Codes join Adam for a wild deep dive into Ready Player One—the movie that’s part sci-fi fever dream, part pop culture explosion, and all action-packed spark for their creative journey.

The guys spill about their first time watching Spielberg’s VR epic, geek out over blockbuster-level CGI, and unpack the way Ready Player One’s genre mash-up and community-driven vibe mirror their own music and world-building. The trio riff on avatars, AI, festival life, EDM culture, and why thinking like a gamer helps Cheat Codes chase success and keep things fun.

Original air date: 10/22/25

About Cheat Codes:
Cheat Codes is a multi-platinum, genre-blending EDM trio known for global hits and wild live shows. Members Matt, Trevor, and Kevin built their sound on fearless collaboration, boundary-pushing beats, and remixing influences from DnB to pop to rock. Their crowd-pleasing sets and "video game" approach to career moves set them apart in today's high-tech music world.

About Ready Player One:
Ready Player One (2018) is a Steven Spielberg blockbuster set in a dystopian future where nearly everyone escapes daily life inside the OASIS, a dazzling virtual reality world packed with retro games, movie icons, and Easter eggs. With a contest promising control of the OASIS and evil corporations ready to exploit it, the film fires up non-stop action and hits every nostalgic nerve.
