Tripod

More like The FILM that BLEW too HARD! Am I right or am I right people? Look every now and again we see a master directors work and sometimes it just kinda STINKS okay. So what if we didn't like this thing, SUE us go on see if we care. It's long, the plot is wafer thin. At one point Dr. Meckenna drugs his wife so he can give her bad news. Yeesh, anyway we talk about this and a bunch of other stuff...

In this episode, Matt and Tyrie discuss all things Rear Window -...

Hey man! Like, welcome back, man. Today Tyrie and Matt are breaking into the grid, with their discussion of Tron: Ares. The boys ponder why Disney keeps going back to this neon world of one's and zero's (especially when none of the three films have ever made the company any actual one's or zero's) as well as the state of Jared Leto's career, and more importantly, the seemingly lost art of blockbus...
