Greetings Programs! 2024’s final episode of Disney Discussions is Mike’s choice; TRON (1982) & TRON: Legacy (2010)!

In more detail, Mike first talks about why he chose this classic movie and it’s legacy sequel, then each person talks about their first memories of TRON. After going through the numerous characters, plot points and special effects of the original, the gang talk about the same things in Legacy while comparing them to TRON. Special effects and visuals are a huge part of TRON’s appeal, but is it enough to make a satisfying sequel? Spider-Dan has also read some TRON comics and has watched the animated series TRON: Uprising, which he talks about too.

SPOILER WARNING: aside from the two TRON movies that are discussed in-depth, the movie Ex-Machina is spoiled around the 40 minute mark, so be aware!
