Tron with Comedian Evan Berke

Описание: Tron (1982) wasn’t just a movie — it invented CGI in cinema. In this episode of Movie Wars, Kyle and Seth are joined by comedian Evan Burke, fresh off crushing Kill Tony in front of 15,000 people at Bridgestone Arena, to break down the legacy, insanity, and cult following of Disney’s most daring sci-fi gamble.

We cover the untold stories behind the making of Tron:

Why Disney animators tried to kill the project.

How 75,000 frames were hand-colored to make the Grid glow.

Wendy Carlos’ groundbreaking electronic score (two years after The Shining).

Why the Oscars called CGI “cheating” and snubbed Tron for Best Visual Effects.

Jeff Bridges: underrated here or better in True Grit and The Big Lebowski?

Easter eggs like the hidden Mickey and Pac-Man cameo.

How Tron predicted the language of firewalls, video games, and tech culture decades ahead of its time.

If you love sci-fi history, arcade nostalgia, or want to know why Tron still matters in 2025 (with its 4K remaster), this is the deep dive for you.
