Terminator 2: Judgment Day

This summer marks the 30th anniversary of James Cameron's blockbuster sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Kyle Brunet joins us again to discuss this epic sci-fi action epic. Listen as we examine how parallels between this film and the original reflect the time paradox at the heart of the story, marvel over Linda Hamilton's amazing transformation as hardened heroine Sarah Connor, and comment on the influence of the movie's groundbreaking digital effects. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, but no clunky futuristic epilogues.

Our theme song is "Nostalgia TV" by Edward Jonathan Blakeley through Lynne Publishing.

Episode 93: The Terminator

The debates around James Cameron's debut film had waged for decades, but the ultimate discussion would not be conducted in the future. It would be held here, in this episode... tonight. Kyle returns to the show as we take aim at the original 1984 classic, The Terminator. Listen as we ponder the circular logic of time travel paradoxes, consider how modern abuses of artificial intelligence may lead to humanity's eventual downfall, and speculate about what to expect from Terminator: Dark Fate (we recorded this episode back in August before the film opened). Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and robots in meat suits.
