Welcome to a special Bonus episode of Franchise Me! In honor of our exploration into the Terminator franchise, we were inspired to talk about a film that we both love deeply, the 1993 Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle "Last Action Hero."  A movie filled to the brim with meta humor, pop culture references, and topped off with a wonderful Arnold performance. Despite the infamous legacy of the film as a box office bomb, there is plenty to love here and if you've never seen it we hope you give it a chance.
