| 8/19/25 |  Judgement Day: Ranking the Terminator Series | In this episode we welcome our first guest, film critic Travis Johnson, to rank all six Terminator films from worst to best.

We thought given that we had only one film to discuss that this would be a shorter episode, but we were wrong about that! There is so much to unpack with this film, so consider this the deepest of dives - into the infinite and beyond.
