Greetings (again), programs!

As we race closer to TRON Ares at the speed of light(cycle), we look at the second film in the "this shouldn't be a franchise but totally is" series. It's got it all: old Jeff Bridges, young Jeff Bridges, Jeff Bridges Jr., a computer copy of Jeff Bridges, and multiple characters all looking for Jeff Bridges. It also has one of the best CGI environments ever put to film, an amazing yet brief run by Michael Sheen as the film's most unhinged character, and music by Daft Punk that is without question one of the top five best film soundtracks ever scored.

Whether you love or hate TRON, you've got to appreciate the vibes, the visuals and the killer soundtrack.

TRON Legacy (Slice of Cherry Guys #71)

We're Chris and Dave - best friends, gamers, and opinionated pop culture people!

Each week we talk about something that catches our fancy: movies, TV, video games, music, nothing's off limits. We often disagree with each other but we *always* have good chats with strong opinions and perspectives.

Settle in, order a slice and get a damn good coffee to go with it!
