Episode 231: Sons Of Tron!

Friday Jan 16, 2026

Previously on Free Range Idiocy, we dropped into 1980’s nostalgia and talked about the original Tron. This week, we power up our lasers and upload ourselves to the grid one more time as we talk through both sequels, Legacy and Ares. How did we feel about the story, the quantum leaps forward in special effects technology, and having Garret Hedlund and Temu Joker as the heirs apparent to Kevin Flynn’s vision of computer nirvana? Well man, it’s just our opinion in this, episode 231, Sons Of Tron!

That’s NOT what’s happening here. So sit back and relax and get cozy
