Terminator 2: Judgement Day (EP14)

In this episode, we need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle with the 1991 Arnold Schwarzenegger action blockbuster TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY.

 

After Pops divulges all the different ways this movie traumatized him in his youth (7:13), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with discussing what makes James Cameron such a prolific director (12:01). We debate how “sexy” Arnold is in this movie (17:30), how the special effects are still mind blowing (32:12), and whether or not Linda Hamilton actually stole the show (45:41). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with all the problems with the biker bar scene (52:15), Mike points out a very cringe worthy T-1000 line (1:01:01), and we discuss the inherent paradoxes that exist in any story about time travel (1:16:03).
