Ep1165: Tron: Ares (2025) - Live Roundtable Review
It may be "end of line" for Earth's Mightiest Critics as we sift through the corrupted-file wasteland of Tron: Ares!
Jared Leto stars as the titular security program caught in the middle of a corporate struggle to bring digital avatars into the real world. Cue the light cycles, data discs, sky-beam portals, and a fistful of other jangling keys meant to distract from a story that literally sets the franchise back by more than a decade.
The gang also looks at other franchises crushed under Disney’s IP onslaught, and assesses DC’s prospects for doing something different with its own blockbuster properties (spoiler alert: it’s grim).
Join us for a code-bashing (and head-bashing) roundtable review--where we also take your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
