The first two Terminator films inspired so many others, and continue to drive filmmakers and studios to take their own shots at contributing to the franchise today. While none of these sequels lived up to the promise of T1 and T2, each one put interesting ideas to work and some even took ambitious swings...that just didn't connect.

The sci-fi action genre hit its peak in 1991 with this explosive, world-building, humanity-focused, mythology-expanding, mind-blowing adventure! Jim Cameron proves that you can have it all and still send your audience home happy - and thrilled. Terminator 2 set the bar almost impossibly high for action flicks and sequels in general. Listen in as Jason and Ryan finally sit with the awesome might of a movie that shows no signs of slowing down.

Frederick, Maryland remarks upon remakes.

The apocalypse never felt heavier than in Jim Cameron's first triumph - a nightmare come to life in 1984's The Terminator. Kyle Reese, Sarah Connor, John Connor, Skynet - it all started here in this simple and powerful film that entertained us, warned us, and launched a franchise that still inspires filmmakers today.

The Deep Question: You learn that the world is coming to an end…what are the last 5 films you're binging before Skynet becomes self-aware?

Patti Boots loved Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) and hopes Cinema Drive will benefit from a rewatch.

Message Jason and Ryan

Jason and Ryan make Cinema Drive history as they roar from the glories of the movie theater straight to the comfort of the studio for hot takes on George Miller's follow-up to Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)! Miller, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Chris Hemsworth give it their all in this incredibly executed prequel that is truly a saga rather than merely a Furiosa film - but Jason and Ryan aren't sure whether the juice was worth the squeeze.

The Deep Question: Who would you cast as me in your biopic?
