from Average Joe Nerdcast · host Average Joe Nerdcast

Thirty-five years ago, Terminator 2: Judgment Day changed action movies forever. Somehow...it still hasn't been topped.This week on the Average Joe Nerdcast, Nate is celebrating one of his all-time favorite movies. From wearing out VHS tapes recorded off USA Network, to quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger well enough to accidentally win an impersonation contest in the Army, this episode is a love letter to the movie that helped shape his imagination. We dive into the unforgettable Future War opening, James Cameron's incredible filmmaking, Stan Winston's legendary practical effects, Robert Patrick's terrifying T-1000, Sarah Connor's evolution, and all the moments that made kid Nate completely lose his mind. This isn't a review or a plot recap; it's one lifelong fan talking about why Terminator 2 still absolutely rocks thirty-five years later.If you enjoyed the episode, make sure you're following the podcast wherever you listen, leave a rating and review, and share it with another movie nerd who still thinks spinning a shotgun one-handed is the coolest thing ever put on film.Episode 100 is almost here!
