Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This episode we cast our gaze over 1984's 'The Terminator'. What is hypermasculinity and why was it so prevalent in the 80's? Can a mullet ever look good on a woman? Can the machines really take over? Remember, always be nice to Alexa, it might just save your life come Judgement Day!
Also, ever recreated the Torvill and Dean's 'Bolero' on roller boots? And is Shakin Stevens actually an un-killable cyborg from the future?
You can watch 'The Terminator' on Amazon Prime.
