Speed Racer & TRON: Legacy (with Logan Kenny)

What makes a foundational movie experience? For critic and podcast regular Logan Kenny, it was seeing Joseph Kosinski's meditative tech opera "TRON: Legacy" in IMAX 3D when he was 9 years old. Logan returns to us for an episode discussing two Vulgar Maximalist cult classics that polarized anti-digital critics at the time of their releases over 10 years ago. First up, it's The Wachowski's fever dream cartoon come to life "Speed Racer" starring Emile Hirsch, Susan Sarandon, Christina Ricci and John Goodman. After that, we'll break down the most expensive first feature of all time with the aforementioned "TRON: Legacy" starring Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and a pre-Irishman de-aged Jeff Bridges reprising his role nearly 30 years later. Has time been kind to both of these films? Is "Speed Racer" a Letterbox approved cult classic? Did Emile Hirsch's cultural cache peak in 2008? Is John Goodman actually America's Dad? Do people really hate Matthew Fox? Is Garrett Hedlund a leading man? How often do you piss during movies? These are the questions on everybody's minds this holiday season and there's only one place to get the answers. ⁠SUBSCRIBE NOW⁠ for early access and exclusive bonus episodes at WWW.PATREON.COM/ROTTENREWIND
