A sci-fi movie about nuclear war sounds like a depressing way to honour veterans on their day, but not when the podcast is about one of the greatest (horror) movies ever made. James Cameron didn't have much of a budget to make The Terminator, but it started a franchise. And it stars the unlikeliest of movie stars, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton are terrific too, but Ah-nuld playing a murderous machine is his signature role, even if he's all wrong for an infiltration unit. He's a futuristic, murderous cyborg who's sent back in time to kill the woman who will become the mother of leader of the resistance. The chase is on. The Terminator is thrilling and it never lets up and it's all built on the back of a great screenplay. Yeah, Cameron introduces a lot of paradoxes and they don't all track, but the actors are so good in these roles that their intense performances make up for a lot of the "but how?" angles.
