Episode 5.38 - Light Cycle: This week the guys gear up for a trip back into The Grid after attending the D23 Tron Trilogy event at AMC Disney Springs — a marathon that wrapped with an advanced screening of Tron: Ares.

They dive deep into all three films, dissecting everything from the neon-glowing nostalgia of the original, to the digital rebirth of Legacy, to the franchise-level evolution that’s shaping up with Ares. Expect plenty of talk about subtle callbacks, not-so-subtle references, and why Tron has officially leveled up from cult classic to cinematic powerhouse.

Oh, and fair warning — spoiler alert. Seriously, watch Tron: Ares before listening to the last third of this episode unless you want to be derezzed by spoilers.

Two rambling idiots—Greg and Garrick—bring you the *Rum & Nerdy Podcast*, a weekly dive into the world of nerd culture through the eyes of late 40s/early 50s dads who still can't get enough of their favorite movies, TV shows, and theme parks. With a deep love of all things nerdy and a shared passion for good rum, these two buddies mix laid-back humor, nostalgic memories, and plenty of laughs as they discuss everything from classic sci-fi to the latest pop culture trends.
