Comfort Films 45: Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Comfort Films 45: Terminator 2: Judgment Day

For the first episode in our "straight to the sequel" September series, we're talking Terminator 2: Judgment Day.  We love this movie so much, we can watch it as a standalone film without needing to start at the beginning of the  series (although we like watching it that way too).  We discuss the T-1000, the most terrifying liquid metal entity we've ever encountered, John Connor's daddy issues, Sarah Connor's transformation from sweetheart to murderous badass, the importance of Guns N' Roses to the development of sentient machines, and of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger's definitive, unforgettable performance as the deadpan cyborg T-800.  So, come with us if you want to live, and remember, there is no fate but what we make!
