The Drunken Odyssey 
Well, this was an interesting episode. The roundtables usually are, even if they’re talking about a movie I’d never heard of (‘Tron Legacy’). I wonder if the table’s fascination with them is just the awe of childhood and the patina of time. I saw ‘Tron’ when I was eighteen and I didn’t think much of it, because it’s still a Disney story no matter what you do. As dear, departed Zoe might say; ‘Meh’.
Now I’ll have to click on that affiliate link and see what the Blu-Rays can offer.
While I can’t presume your experience might match ours, I can solidly say, I think, that the appeal of “Tron Legacy” has little to do with childhood and the patina of time.
While I tend to like older movies, nostalgia does little for me.
Sonically, “Tron Legacy” is a trip.
