Following the Oscars, Corey (@coreyrstarr) and Jonathan (@berkreviews) decided to pick an actor who they love but had major gaps in their viewing history. Thus, March's theme is Best Actor goes to Jeff Bridges! That's right, The Dude himself is our focus for Movie Club this month and March gives them five weekends which means five different Jeff Bridges movies. Corey gets to pick first and then they alternate every week as per usual.
Each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week initially spoiler free and then diving in completely after a spoiler warning. Before getting into the review Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.
Week 2 - TRON (1982)
Jonathan picked a movie that's been on his gap list for far too long. TRON (1982) has always been on his radar, but the overall '80s aesthetic has kept him from diving in; until now. Written and directed by Steven Lisberger, TRON stars Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, and David Warner. TRON is "A computer hacker is abducted into the digital world and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program," according to IMDb.com.
