About Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Ten years after the events of the original, a reprogrammed T-800 is sent back in time to protect young John Connor from the shape-shifting T-1000. Together with his mother Sarah, he fights to stop Skynet from triggering a nuclear apocalypse.
What We Discussed on the Podcast
The dads are back — and so is the T-800 — for Terminator 2, James Cameron’s 1991 sci-fi action landmark that somehow made killer robots emotional and liquid metal cool. Arnold returns with a leather jacket and a new directive (protect, not terminate), while Linda Hamilton levels up to full-on action legend as a hardened, haunted Sarah Connor.
Steve and Nic dig into the film’s wild legacy: the visual effects that still hold up, the moral core beneath the explosions, and the way Cameron turns a popcorn blockbuster into a dark meditation on fate and free will. There’s appreciation for Robert Patrick’s terrifying T-1000, debate over young John Connor’s slang-heavy dialogue, and the realization that even with all its bombast, this thing has feelings.
It’s time travel, truck chases, mother-son bonding, and just enough early-90s tech anxiety to make you question your microwave. Hasta la vista? More like: see you again and again — this one’s a classic.
