Continuing Animated August with what we think is an underrated classic, A Goofy Movie!
A movie that deserves so much more love and respect. Sure, it wasn't as commercially successful as the movies that came before and after it, but it still has a lot of heart and a killer soundtrack!
We discussed:
- should Donald Duck been in the movie?
- ranking other underrated Disney classics
- animated movie crushes (yes, we all had them)
- what band would you perform live with?
And so much more!

In the month of July, we here at the House of Cinema are discussing everything underrated and we thought Tron: Legacy fit the bill perfectly.
A certified cult classic movie that was a sequel to another cult classic movie? You don't see that very often but we here at House of Cinema (well 2/3rds of us) believe that Tron: Legacy has something very special to offer.
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time someone mentions how great the Daft Punk score is.
We discussed:
- fictional movie vehicles
- the best arcade games
- Tron 3: do we really need it?
- Is Tron a bad movie with great visuals and a great score?
- Pinball machines: overrated?
