Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) | Ruining a Date By Watching T3

<p>Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay say, come with them if you want to live, as they discuss James Cameron&#39;s action masterpiece, &#39;Terminator 2: Judgment Day.&#39; Bombay starts off the episode by recalling how his overzealousness, and love for this movie brought him on a misguided attempt to see the sequel on a date. Then the boys dive into one of the most relentlessly cool films ever made. They recall their life-altering moviegoing experiences of seeing this in theater as little kids, and how the T2 phenomenon swept the nation. All of it was made possible by Cameron, a true cinema dictator, who strove for perfection while recalibrating what mainstream action could achieve. There&#39;s the mall fight with T-800 and T-1000 that made jaws drop, which segued into an incredible chase scene, and the feat was repeated multiple times including a 45 closing that included three ludicrous action set pieces seamlessly stitched together. At the time the boundary-pushing CGI visuals — and mind boggling inventiveness — altered movies, but today it&#39;s the practical FX that endure, as the director had no issues putting real human lives in danger to achieve the perfect shot. At the heart of the film is Linda Hamilton&#39;s physical, and emotional, transformation from a timid wallflower to a terminator-esque killing machine with one purpose: to deliver an enthralling picture. Loving this episode is easy money. </p>
