Welcome to episode 139 of the Movies Past and Present podcast.

Tron with Stephen Anderson

Director, animator, author and all around great guy Stephen Anderson (X: @stevehatguy; Instagram: @stevehatguy) joins me on the podcast to discuss Tron (Disney, 1982) as well as its sequels Tron: Legacy (Disney, 2010) and the latest film in the series Tron: Ares (Disney, 2025). And, as a side note, you really should see Tron: Ares on the big screen while you can because it’s incredibly cool.

Stephen’s excellent book Disney In-Between: The Lost Years 1966-1986 is a must-read for any serious Disney fan. More information about the book is on the Old Mill Press website.

MGM Musicals with Darin Lundberg

My good friend, podcaster and film aficionado Darin Lundberg joins me on the podcast today to discuss some classic musicals from Metro-Goldwybn-Mayer. MGM was the king of the movie musical, particularly during the 1940s and 1950s and Darin and I had a great discussion about some of the MGM musicals that we respect and love.

Per our discussion, here is Fred Astaire’s famous “ceiling dance” from Royal Wedding (MGM, 1951).

And here’s the bonkers aquatic scene with Ester Williams in Million Dollar Mermaid (MGM, 1952)
