Summary

We promised you we'd be back! A few weeks ago, we recorded an episode all about James Cameron's 1984 film The Terminator, and we figured we'd return with haste to talk about its mega-famous sequel. Launched in 1991, Judgment Day brings the co-stars of the first flick back, but turns the story on its head. This time, Arnold is a good guy, and he and Linda Hamilton act as stewards for John Connor, the all-important leader of the future resistance, after the dreaded Skynet becomes self-aware and goes haywire. Beloved to this day -- T2 is considered both one of the best sci-fi and action movies ever -- we dive into the story, setting, characters, and potential (both reached and missed) of this half-a-billion-grossing cultural phenomenon that helped further spawn and solidify an entertainment license that continues (to the chagrin of many) to this day.

Get to the chopper. Get to the chopper. It's not a tool, but dude, it really brought me back to

0:33.0

Ron and Fez, which was a show you and I loved because and and Opie and Anthony because they used

0:37.0

to do the Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard when they would prank all people and half of this

0:41.3

movie is on that. Like I don't even think I realized until I was watching, I was dying laughing

0:45.4

because like things you would just say, like, that's impudence or whatever.

0:52.4

Ron and Fez was the best. The absolute best. They're kind of a mistake. I don't think a lot of

0:57.5

people today know them. No, but they were a they were like a radio duo in the 90s and probably

1:03.1

into the 2000s in the New York area and they were kind of like were they prodigies of Opie and Anthony?

1:07.9

I don't really know exactly what. Yeah, I feel like they kind of spun off from Opie and Anthony,

1:13.0

right? Like, whether they someone out there will know, but whether they did a segment or whether

1:17.1

it was something that was kind of, you know, came from was born out of Opie and Anthony and then

1:23.2

that, you know, became their own radio show, but hilarious. And I felt like they were the

1:27.6

accessible duo because Opie and Anthony were so big, like you could call into Ron and Fez,

1:33.6

and I don't know if that's because they had a later in the day slash evening time.

1:37.4

Ron, were you on with them? I was probably twice. You know, you could call in and have a good

1:43.6

shot of getting on the air if you had something funny to say or something interesting to ask.

1:49.2
