WE BOUGHT A MIC

I know now why you cry. James Cameron's iconic masterpiece, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, is one of the greatest sequels of all time and a defining moment in sci-fi and action cinema. We're joined by our good friend Collin Goode to discuss the groundbreaking visual effects, the themes of humanity vs. technology, Schwarzenegger and Hamilton's unforgettable performances, and how the film’s legacy has endured over the decades.

We give you quick reviews of Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi adaptation starring Robert Pattinson, and Black Bag, Steven Soderbergh’s latest thriller with Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett.

In honor of Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary, we’re drafting the ultimate SNL cast from all eras. Will your favorites make the cut?

We also discuss all the SNL50 goodies: The Anniversary Special, The Homecoming Concert, Questlove's 'Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music' and the Beyond Saturday Night docu-series on Peacock.
