About this episode

The episode revisits the classic film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, discussing its impact and relevance in today's AI-driven world.

It's our 75th episode, and we're going back to 1991 for a look at one of the greatest sequels ever made, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Rich and T.A. revisit the James Cameron classic 35 years on, from Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic T-800 to Robert Patrick's terrifying T-1000. The groundbreaking CGI, old-school practical effects and some truly terrible Arnie impressions. We also talk about whether Terminator 2 now feels less like sci-fi and more like a warning, with AI, machines, screens and technology becoming a bigger part of everyday life. There's nostalgia, favourite scenes, stunt work and a few questionable attempts at "I'll be back". 📱 Follow The Middle-aged Bodcast Online! 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midagedbodcast 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/middleagedbodcast 🐦 Twitter/X: https://x.com/MidagedBodcast 🔵 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/middleagedbodcast.bsky.social 🌐 Website: https://middleagedbodcast.co.uk If you've enjoyed listening, we'd love it if you could follow the podcast, leave us a review and drop us a comment.
