GXW - Episode 131 - "Tron"

Author: Generation X-Wing November 15, 2017 Duration: 1:33:22

Greetings programs!

Rob and Jamie are joined again by Karl Germyn (while Anil is AFK) to talk about a cult movie franchise that had a major impact on our young lives: Tron.

We look into the 1982 original series and discuss its revolutionary style while trying to figure out why it was deemed unsuccessful.

We also look back at the 2010 sequel Tron Legacy. The imagery, the continuation of the classic story and most of all, the music by Daft Punk.

We also discuss other areas such as the classic Tron arcade game, Tron Uprising and the possibility of Tron 3.

We hope you can join us for this long awaited episode.

End of line.


Join hosts Anil Sharma, Josh Whittall, and Rob Williams for a conversation that feels like hanging out with friends who share your shelves of old action figures and dog-eared comics. The Generation X-Wing Podcast operates from a simple, joyful premise: our nostalgia is worth examining, not just revisiting. While rooted firmly in the expansive universe of Star Wars and proudly part of the Star Wars Commonwealth Network, this podcast deliberately wid its lens. Each episode is a deep, often humorous dive into the entire tapestry of pop culture that shaped a generation. You’ll hear passionate discussions dissecting new films and classic TV shows, the thrill of the hunt in toy collecting, and the unique energy of fan conventions. It’s a modern look at a retro lifestyle, where an analysis of a latest blockbuster can effortlessly pivot into a fond remembrance of a Saturday morning cartoon. The charm of this podcast lies in its eclectic range and the hosts’ genuine camaraderie. They don’t just review media; they explore how the comics, movies, and collectibles of the past continue to inform and entertain us today. For anyone who finds equal excitement in a new Star Wars trailer and the discovery of a vintage toy at a flea market, Generation X-Wing offers that perfect blend of thoughtful critique and celebratory fandom. Tune in for a regular dose of insightful, laughter-filled conversation that celebrates where our pop culture obsessions began and where they’re taking us next.
