Have you ever played a two-player game where the other person keeps getting in your way, inadvertently knocking you into the nearest lava pit or spiky enemy? Anyone who has ever played any of the Super Mario games knows the phenomenon. Well, this is the podcast version of that — except nobody rage quits.

To clarify, our hosts didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye on Tron: Ares, Disney’s latest attempt to breathe some life (or put another quarter into) the franchise that started way back in 1982. In fact, one of our hosts was so “out” on this movie that she didn’t even bother showing up for this episode!

OK, that’s not exactly true. Dori couldn’t quite make this one work with her schedule, and fortunately we had a very able guest ready to step in: local Milwaukee filmmaker James Tindell! In addition to knowing a thing or two about movies, he’s a self-described “Tron superfan,” which means he was either going to REALLY like the latest installment or REALLY not like it.

From our metaphor in the first paragraph, it's clear that however he felt, Kpolly didn't quite agree. To find out who fell on which side, check out the full episode.
