Chris gets pedantic about robot terminology (what else is new?) and Kelsey sings Burnin\' in the Third Degree! Thanks to listener Harry for the recommendation!\\n\\nThe Classic Film: The Terminator (1984)\\n"A seemingly indestructible robot is sent from 2029 to 1984 to assassinate a young waitress, whose unborn son will lead humanity in a war against sentient machines, while a human soldier from the same war is sent to protect her at all costs\\u201d (IMDb.com). The first film in the Terminator franchise is probably the closest the series ever gets to straight-up slasher-horror. Don\\u2019t worry; we don\\u2019t bicker about the logic of time travel.\\n\\nThe Modern Film: Morgan (2016)\\n"A corporate risk-management consultant must decide whether or not to terminate an artificially created humanoid being.\\u201d (IMDb.com). Chris & Kelsey saw this movie when it came out and subsequently forgot everything about it beyond the premise. After they watch it again, this entirely passable flick (that doesn\\u2019t seem at all concerned with being anything beyond superficial) reinforces precisely why it doesn\\u2019t stick in your brain.\\n\\nAudio Sources:\\n"Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton Respond to IGN Comments" via IGN @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1d_CtQOh54\\n"Arnold Schwarzenegger Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ" via GQ @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srksXVEkfAs\\n"Beverly Hills Cop" produced by Paramount Pictures, et al.\\n\\u201cMorgan\\u201d produced by Scott Free Productions, et al.\\n"Pet Sematary" written by Dee Dee Ramone & Daniel Rey and performed by The Ramones\\n\\u201cThe Terminator\\u201d produced by Hemdale, et al.\\n"Terminator 2: Judgement Day" produced by Carolco Pictures, et al.\\n"Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" (Deleted Scene & Arnold Schwarzenegger Commentary) produced by C-2 Pictures, et al.'
