Ep 17 - The Terminator (1984) | What Came First, the Sarah or the Kyle?

This week -as an accidental celebration of its 40th anniversary- Jordan and Jacob hurtle 40 years back in time, to witness the magnificence that is James Cameron's quasi-directorial debut, The Terminator! .... (it's technically 1982's Piranha II: The Spawning but you have to get Cameron on a good day for him to admit that). A science fiction action TECH NOIR film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular Terminator and Linda Hamilton as the 'to be terminated'. Filled with arresting action sequences, expert exposition, seat gripping tension and a random Iguana, it is James Cameron's dream come to life . . . for us to make an episode on his movie.
