Tron (1982)

Posted in Adventure, Science Fiction by - January 20, 2010

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.

Now in case you can’t get enough Dan and/or Lee you can:

Next week join us as we take to the skies (ummm for a little while) then spend time in the desert and finally go spelunking! That’s right next week we’re staying up and being bleary eyed for the John Woo film Broken Arrow!!

Will Dan and Lee agree on this one? Or will Broken Arrow be the one that drives a wedge between them? Come back next week and find out!

Have an iPod or an iPhone or have iTunes installed? Then you should subscribe via the iTunes store!!

    For those of you who are quite lazy (and frankly I expect that’s a lot of you!) here is the link to the Tron Guy as mentioned by me in the podcast that you should have listened to already :P

    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.

      @Jeff, six degrees of Al Leong :)

    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. [...]
