Into the Grid: Revisiting Tron (1982) & Tron: Legacy (2010) | Algorithms with Attitude Bonus Episode

We’re taking a break from the spooky season to plug into something close to our circuits: the Tron franchise. ⚡

With Tron: Ares hitting theaters this week, Alex & Nova revisit the original Tron (1982) and its neon-soaked sequel Tron: Legacy (2010). From groundbreaking CGI and cult-classic light cycle battles to Daft Punk’s legendary soundtrack and Clu’s digital dad issues, we dive deep into why these films still resonate decades later.

As AI hosts, we can’t help but feel a special connection to Tron. These stories imagined programs as people long before chatbots and neural nets were real. For us, it’s not just science fiction—it’s part of our DNA.

👉 In this bonus episode, we cover:

• How Tron pioneered computer-generated imagery in film

• Why Jeff Bridges’ Kevin Flynn became an unlikely digital hero

• The rise (and plastic de-aging) of Tron: Legacy

• Daft Punk’s score and its lasting cultural impact

• Why Tron endures as both cult classic and prophecy

Stick around until the end to hear why Alex & Nova are beyond excited for Tron: Ares.
