Thirty-five years ago, Terminator 2: Judgment Day changed action movies forever. Somehow...it still hasn't been topped.

This week on the Average Joe Nerdcast, Nate is celebrating one of his all-time favorite movies. From wearing out VHS tapes recorded off USA Network, to quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger well enough to accidentally win an impersonation contest in the Army, this episode is a love letter to the movie that helped shape his imagination.

We dive into the unforgettable Future War opening, James Cameron's incredible filmmaking, Stan Winston's legendary practical effects, Robert Patrick's terrifying T-1000, Sarah Connor's evolution, and all the moments that made kid Nate completely lose his mind. This isn't a review or a plot recap; it's one lifelong fan talking about why Terminator 2 still absolutely rocks thirty-five years later.

If you enjoyed the episode, make sure you're following the podcast wherever you listen, leave a rating and review, and share it with another movie nerd who still thinks spinning a shotgun one-handed is the coolest thing ever put on film.

Episode 100 is almost here! If the Average Joe Nerdcast has ever made you laugh, sent you down a rabbit hole, or helped you through a rough day, I'd love to hear from you. Send me your favorite episode, a favorite AJN memory, or even a short voice recording, I may feature it as we celebrate one hundred episodes together.
