Hello, my name is Justin the Clueber. I'm here today with Will Sloan, and you're listening to the

0:12.2

important cinema club, and today we're tackling the best of the best. Yes, that's right. We're

0:18.7

selling out and discussing James Cameron. I was excited to

0:22.4

finally see a James Cameron movie. I'm the king of the world. I'm just kidding. I've seen James

0:27.8

Cameron movies. You've seen them. He's Mr. Movies, for God's sake. Yeah, it was a little

0:32.7

S because when you look at his filmography, it's almost surprising how few movies he's made.

He's like that hitter who they pull in at the end of the game when they really need to like, the bases are loaded and he's got to knock it out of the park. I don't think that's how baseball works. Maybe you mean like the fastball pitcher who will not like... No, no, no. I'm talking about a hitter for God's sake. I'm sure I know what I'm talking about. I know sports.

0:54.9

You're Mr.

0:55.3

Sports. He comes in,

0:56.1

you know,

0:56.3

every six

0:56.8

games and then he

0:57.8

just knocks to hit her for God's sake. I'm sure I know what I'm talking about. I know sports. You're Mr. Sports. He comes in,

0:56.1

you know, every six games, and then he just knocks it out of the park, and then he goes back into the dugout. That's what it's called. And why don't they just have him play for every time? I know. Well, James Cameron, Titanic, Avatar, Terminator 2, Judgment Day, aliens.

1:11.4

So every time I would visit once a week, we'd probably watch Terminator 2. I was not allowed to see it until I was 13. Okay. Well, that's probably when I saw it as well.

You were scared that they were going to stop you and pull you aside and go, like, get that

out of here.

1:45.7

And here's what I remember about the T2 ride at Universal Studios. I think I've said this on the podcast before, but this is the Cameron episode. This is for posterity. They got Arnold back for the ride. And I think maybe they got Furlong back, too. I can't remember. Everyone was back in the video portion of the ride.

2:01.8

And there's a scene where Arnold Schwarzenegger shoots... Maybe they got Furlong back too. I can't remember. Everyone was back in the video portion of the ride.

2:01.6

And there's a scene where Arnold Schwarzenegger shoots one of the evil Terminators.

2:06.6

And Furlong says, did you know him?
