Private Connelly sends us on a quest to check in on his childhood friend. We are asked to save Private O’Ryan from the undead haunting Unicorn Way.
Saving Private Ryan is the 1998 film by Steven Spielberg starring Tom Hanks and Matt Damon as Private Ryan.
I have always loved the pop culture references in Wizard (and Pirate) 101. This series was inspired by a series I did featuring the Heroes of Lemuria and their ties to early 20th Cent. pulp heroes. This is the seventh article chronicling the #W101PopCulture references starting in Wizard City. The current list of all the (known) Wizard City references can be found here. These articles were originally put together for a Facebook group I belong to. Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
