About this episode

The episode dives into the making and impact of the film 'True Lies' directed by James Cameron, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

James Cameron reunited with Arnold Schwarzenegger and asked a simple question: who would James Bond be if he got home and had to answer to his wife? The result cost $100 million and featured a Harrier jet attack on the Florida Keys. Luke, Westy, and Matt dive into the film that proved Cameron could blow stuff up and make you care about the people running from the explosions. From Arnold learning to tango to the stunt work that nearly killed people (multiple times), we're telling the story behind the last great action blockbuster of its era. With opinions, laughs, and questionable Arnold impressions throughout.
