Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravanagh Garbage, where we're doing two this week.

0:37.4

Whoa! Because it's a big Tron week. Tron is back. And you made a scheduling error. I made a scheduling error, so there's not going to be one next week, but there's two this week. Whoa! Are you excited to revisit the world of Tron by re-watching the movie Tron 1 from 1982? Please leave a like. Tron 1.0. Wow. Because computers. Because computer. I mean, you're basically, we're doing this because there is a new Tron movie coming out, but you basically wanted to rewatch Tron Legacy. Yeah. You've told me that in confidence. You just want to watch Tron Legacy, and so we have to get through the first one. You betrayed me so much just now. Yeah. With your words and actions. That's right. I'm a real clue too in Tron Legacy. I haven't rewatched it yet. I don't know what you're talking about. All right. Okay. I got to say though, in coming back to this, it's very cutting edge. There really is nothing like this movie. It's ambitious. So ambitious. There's no Pixar without Tron, the advancements it made in... There's no pixels without Tron. That's true. That would still be pixels. I mean, the concept of pixels. Okay, sure. You can't prove that... The movie or the... The concept of pixels. Okay, but also the movie. Yes. Yeah. It's so ahead of its time, but also, what a drag, man. What a fucking drag of a movie. Fun jokes. Big door. Yep. The story's kind of, it's not, it's really basic and... And I, maybe this was. It's a kids movie. Yeah, it's a kids movie. It's a Disney kids movie. It didn't start like that. And I guess in this, you're not leaning on the story so much as you are, because it's Spartacus, among other things. It's the Matrix before the Matrix. But, you know, they leaned into the visuals

2:19.0

and the idea of what is a computer world. Like that's what carries this movie essentially. Sparkicus?

2:26.0

Thank you. I'm going to spend the rest of this video trying to think of a Spartacus. I think you

2:29.3

did it already. No, it's not computer enough. Biticus. Not bad. Tronicus? Yes, perfect. Put a fork in it, we're done. Put a computer fork in it. So this started with a small team of animators, one of them being Steve Lisberger, who directed this. Okay. They'd done things before, like the Animal Olympics animated, which they'd put little segments in between.

2:51.2

I don't know what that is. They did the Winter Olympics and then they were going to do one.

2:54.4

Oh, I thought you meant the actual Olympics. Yeah. Okay. Little animated snippets that would go

3:00.4

in between the games. I thought you meant a movie called Animal Olympics, which I'd never heard of.

3:05.3

No, they were like, oh, look, what's the penguin up to?

3:08.6

Whatever, you know, in between stuff. Okay. It doesn't sound like they really committed to it.

3:13.0

Well, they did, and then they finished the second one, which was supposed to come out in 1980,

3:17.1

but then the US boycotted that because it was the Moscow Olympics. So that freed them up to

3:23.7

put Tron together and take it to Disney.

3:26.6

And Disney looked at this and went, we don't understand this, but look, we've been making

3:31.5
