Justin & Paul have talked on the show about their San Diego Comic-Con experience from 2009 where TRON: LEGACY was first announced with a big re-creation of Flynn's Arcade & the End of the Line Club. We'll roll out those pics over the next few days! Remember these are 2009 PHONES.

You'll know when we've recorded an episode of The Countdown Movie Show when there's an uptick in business at the local diners. Why do any of this if there isn't social time involved? This was taken after our TRON: LEGACY recording. The TRON: ARES episode is coming soon!

Speaking of things we talked about on the show, did you know Disney did a TRON crossover with PLAYBOY?!? Yup, it happened.

If you haven't experienced the new Nine Inch Nails song featured in TRON: ARES, do yourself a favor! It captures the classic tone and sound of the band and is super-intense. The video is also completely bananas!
