Tron (1982)
Director: Steven Lisberger
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleiter, David Warner
A hacker is transported into the world of a computer and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program.
As promised last week we have something new again this week! We would like to welcome Jeff Caddick as our guest Midnight Movie Crew member as we talk about the Disney computer film Tron.
Dan hadn’t actually seen Tron right up until about half an hour before we recorded this so it’s interesting to hear his take on it with completely fresh eyes.

I’m just disappointed we didn’t figure out a way to mention Al Leong in the course of the discussion. He should be mentioned in every podcast, I believe.

[...] mentioned last week that I was a guest on a podcast over at Lee and Dan’s Midnight Movie Club. The show has now been released so head over and listen. You should be able to pick me out. [...]
Wait. For a minute there I thought I read that Dan hadn’t seen Tron before. But that can’t be right at all so I must have been hallucinating.

@Kevin Spencer, I’m afraid this still doesn’t come anywhere near the fact that you still haven’t seen a single episode of the Simpsons. Nowhere near.

[...] So straight off the bat we have Bruce Boxleitner back again as Alan Bradley and generally hinting at what his role will be in the film, I’m curious to see if it’s just a cameo or if they have a bigger part for him. Actually the more I think about it the more I wonder if we’ll actually see Tron himself? It’s interesting because I guess kids today won’t have generally seen Tron or know of the characters, even big kids like Dan hadn’t seen Tron until our semi recent Midnight Movie Club showing. [...]
