That's right listeners, after the blowout success of T2, shockingly the studios involved didn't immediately capitalize on the success but rather waited over a decade. A lot happened between T2 and T3--James Cameron was out, Linda Hamilton was out, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was on the cusp of becoming the Governor of California. This time the stakes are even higher, Judgment Day wasn't stopped, it was simply protracted. With a new cast and crew, the first ever female Terminator and finally the rise of the machines is this critically lauded installment third time's the charm or is it a pile of T-800 skeletons?

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) | Movie Review | Second in Terminator Movie Review Series
7 long years after James Cameron's critically acclaimed (100% on Rotten Tomatoes) sophomore directorial feature, he said he would be back and he sure is with a bang! Terminator 2, or T2, as it's come to be known, has become an American cultural icon. This film has aged so well it has been firmly planted within the top 50 greatest films of all time. Removing nostalgia and the zeitgeist hype does this film actually deserve to be considered one of the last great films of the millennium? Join Corbin and Allen as they bring you their highly anticipated review of Terminator 2: Judgement Day!

Terminator Salvation (2009) | Movie Review | Fourth in Terminator Movie Review Series
6 years after the surprisingly successful Terminator 3--John Connor is back but from the future! The very first Terminator film to fully take place after Judgement Day; the year is 2018 and the Resistance is on the brink of winning the war against the Machines. Fully loaded with spectacular practical effects and Batman himself, Christian Bale, the film seemed destined to be a winner...except it wasn't. Universally despised by critics, under-performing at the box office and a mild reception by audiences it was clear the franchise had fallen out of popular opinion. What was supposed to be the beginning to a brand-new trilogy, instantly spiraled toward an unknown future. After 11 years has Terminator Salvation actually become the best film in the entire series or is this take too Mad Maxian for the Machines to handle? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Terminator Salvation to find out!
Join the discussion-Comment below! Question after the show: Is this moreso a Terminator movie or a Mad Max movie? Why or why not? Also, would you like to see a sequel to this entry?
