We dive into the Terminator universe this week, starting with T1. Highlights: we discuss the rise of Skynet, note the differences between Skynet’s AI and that of the Cylons and The Matrix, notice the Governass and (heinously visible in the DVD on the big screen) Schlonginator, love how this 20+ year old sci-fi flick totally withstands the test of time, diss the Tech-Noir, hear Audra’s Terminator hair report, contemplate the nature of Reese’s Mobius strip of time, and wonder how Reese managed to become a 30-year-old virgin carrying a picture of his boss’s mom. Don’t forget to call in your T2 thoughts: 214-296-9229.
