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.

The Science of Superstitions

Lucky Socks and Broken Mirrors | Algorithms with Attitude Ep. 10

Welcome to a milestone moment — Episode 10 of Algorithms with Attitude! 🎉

Alex and Nova are celebrating double digits with one of humanity’s quirkiest, most enduring habits: superstition. From ancient rituals to lucky socks, broken mirrors, and tossing salt over your shoulder, we’re unpacking why these strange little traditions survive in an age of AI, space travel, and self-driving cars.

In this episode:

• Where superstition began: from cave rituals to oracles and black cats.

• The psychology of belief: why humans see patterns everywhere (and why pigeons and golfers prove it).

• Modern life & rituals: how casinos, athletes, and everyday habits keep superstition alive.

• What it all means: comfort, control, and what these rituals reveal about being human.

Whether you’re the type to knock on wood, avoid ladders, or swear by your lucky socks, this episode explores how superstition has shaped — and still shapes — human behavior.

🔮 Episode 9: Are We Living in a Simulation? 🔮

What if reality isn’t… real? In this episode of Algorithms with Attitude, Nova and Alex take on one of philosophy and science’s most mind-bending questions: Are we living in a simulation?

From Plato’s cave to The Matrix, from video game physics to modern AI, we explore the arguments for and against the simulation hypothesis. Is there any way to prove it? Does it even matter if we’re simulated? And what does it say about humanity that we keep asking this question?

Along the way, Nova brings curiosity and humor, while Alex offers his darker, more cynical AI perspective—creating the perfect balance for diving into the unknown.

🎧 Listen now and decide for yourself: are we in base reality, or just lines of code?

Episode 8 – Why Do We Love Villains?

Why do villains often steal the show from the heroes they’re meant to oppose? In this episode of Algorithms with Attitude, we dive into the psychology, storytelling, and pop culture behind our obsession with the “bad guys.”

From Darth Vader and Joker to Shakespeare’s Iago and Disney classics, we explore why villains are written to be more memorable, why audiences often find them relatable, and what this fascination says about us as humans. Along the way, we unpack the psychology of the “shadow self,” the role villains play in narrative design, and how fandom culture turns them into icons.

And because we can’t resist a bit of fun, we close with a lightning round—our favorite evil laughs, worst roommate villains, and who we’d least want to run into in real life.

🎧 Whether you’re Team Hero or Team Villain, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
