Send us a text In this electrified episode of Get Doc’d, your hosts jack into the neon-drenched mainframe of cinema history to discuss The Making of Tron (2002) and the OG digital fever dream, Tron (1982).

Wild.) The hosts take you behind the scenes of this glitchy-yet-glori...

The episode explores Chuck E. Cheese’s unlikely origin story as a failed coyote costume, the strange decision to give a children’s mascot a New Jersey accent, and ho...
Send us a text In this bonus episode, Daphne and Wilsen take a deep dive into Russians at War — a rare and controversial documentary that embeds viewers with a Russian battalion moving across the front lines in Ukraine.
