Ep 165: Terminator 2 & True Lies: James Cameron Deep-Dive #3 (feat. Secrets and Spies)

Our journey through James Cameron's movies continues into the 1990s, and JC's final two movies (to date) with Arnold Schwarzenegger. We begin with one of the finest films of the decade, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. What Aliens is to Rob Daniel, T2 is to Rob Wallis, and Mr. W reveals why in the episode. Not that Rob D is sniffy about the film. In fact , you could say this is a T2 love-in.  Then onto True Lies, and here the Robs are joined by Chris Carr, producer and host of the excellent Secrets and Spies podcast. All three have reservations about the film, and discuss how the film's sexual and racial politics seem out of kilter compared to the rest of Cameron's work. Chris also brings his expertise on all things espionage to look at what True Lies gets right and wrong. So, buckle up for all things Jim and Arnie, in the penultimate ep of our Cameron retrospective mini-series!
