Come with us, if you want to live - Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia as we're heading back to 1991 in search of easy money and John Connor in the unqualified Summer Blockbuster, Terminator II. We're saying 'gimme five' in our 75th episode as we discuss:

  • Whether it is necessary to see T1 to appreciate T2
  • The wage disparity between Linda Hamilton & Arnold Schwarzenegger when they agreed to repeat their roles
  • Who turned down the role of Miles Dyson
  • Why does the film look so wonderful in some of these numbers?
  • Who's a worse actor: Edward Furlong or Linda Hamilton
  • How much did Pepsi pay for all the Subway (and Pepsi) product placement
  • Why are Canadian 'gimme fives' more profane that their British counterparts
  • How long did it take for the first draft of the script to be written and does it show
  • We explore the bootstrap paradox
  • We have some aftershocks from Liam's 10 for Grease last week
  • We reveal the audience pick for our July 4th themed next episode
  • Whether or not Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the Best Film Ever
