Before (or after) he was a spokesman in Coke commercials, spinning tunes as a virtual VJ, or even a TV talk show host, Max Headroom was the iconic example of artificial intelligence (well, perhaps computerized charisma) brought to “life” by a scan of Edison Carter’s brain and 3D imaging of Matt Frewer’s head and shoulders.  This week’s episode is a tribute to Max Headroom with a lot of excitement about upcoming Star Wars opportunities in the near future.   In the NEWS… D23 has happened without TR3N news, any mention of The Black Hole or Something Wicked this Way Comes remakes, reboots, or sequels, but lots of Star Wars updates which may or may not include the following TechnoRetro Facts: See Jefferson Starship on the Galactic Starcruiser as you travel through hyperspace to Galaxy’s Edge. The Rise of the Resistance ride is coming soon to Walt Disney World and Disneyland complete with Force-wielding kids shoving aside stormtroopers with their minds. See how a squid-headed Quarren meets with danger in our first real look at The Mandalorean. The Rise of Skywalker seems to present multiple opportunities to walk over rises in topography to reveal various vistas with the heroes of the sequel trilogy. Although we still don’t know if Ewan McGregor will portray Carl Jung on film, we are fairly certain he will reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in an upcoming series on Disney+.  James Arnold Taylor is rumored to appear as either OB-2 or OB-6 in the new show.   Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future JediShua and shazbazzar watch the complete Max Headroom TV series from 1987 and explain the origin(s) of this iconic computer-generated character who continues to be a familiar face (and simulated stutterer) more than thirty years later.   Thanks for tuning in to TechnoRetro Dads, EarBuds!  Go online for more TechnoRetro Dads on iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, RetroZap.com, or TechnoRetroDads.libsyn.com.  Pick up your TechnoRetro Dads merchandise at TeePublic.  Don’t forget to rate and review TechnoRetro Dads on iTunes, share us and with us on social media, get TechnoRetro merchandise at TeePublic, and join discussions on Discord about toys, cereal, games, movies and/or shows from the ‘70s and ‘80s by giving the ‘Dads your feedback via voice mail at (209) 878-7323 or sending us your mp3dback via electronic-M to podcast@TechnoRetroDads.com.

Greetings, Programs!     JAMIE is back for more discussion about the possible reasons for Disney’s shelving of TR3N with SHAZ and SHUA.  But we don’t stop with simply striving to DECODE their reasons for keeping the GRID offline — we come up with ideas and solutions to the problem in hopes that Disney will reconsider and get to work on the next TRON sequel immediately!  Let us know what you think.  Send us an email to podcast@TechnoRetroDads.com or leave a voice message at (209) 878-7323.  Don’t forget: if you want a TRON: Decoding the Grid button, just note your address in your email, and we’ll send you one — absolutely free.  

Greetings, Programs!   As we were getting all excited for TR3N, Disney announced the shelving of the TRON sequel.  We have lots to say about this, but this week we talk to Ernie Estrella from BLASTR.com about his ideas for the future of the GRID.   We think we have a great plan for the continuation of the franchise.  It has to do with the amazing animated series, TRON: Uprising.  Let us know what you think.  Send us an email to podcast@TechnoRetroDads.com or leave a voice message at (209) 878-7323.

Greetings, Programs!     Last week, VanCity Buzz reported that the next TRON sequel is set to start shooting in Vancouver this October.  Of course, SHAZ, SHUA, and JAMIE chime in on what we might expect in this (finally) upcoming sequel.  Taking notes from TRON: Legacy and bonus features from the Blu-Ray release, TRON: Decoding the Grid speculates what might happen in this long-anticipated addition to the GRID, leaving only one question:   Will we see a new MCP?     Let us know what you think!  Send us an email to podcast@TechnoRetroDads.com or leave a voice message at (209) 878-7323.

Greetings, Programs! In 1982, TRON stunned the world with its innovative techniques and imaginative story about man swallowed by a machine.  SHAZ, SHUA, and JAMIE continue to DECODE the GRID, quadrant by quadrant, uncovering the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of this continuing classic Disney production.      PLUS: Find out about hand-held 3D scanners and how they may affect TR3N (or not). SARK might just equip his WARRIORS with these ingenious devices to REZ USERS into the DIGITAL WORLD when he invades our side of the screen....
