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!

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit Mi Puck Drop Woodward Sports Network All things Michigan Hockey, from the Detroit Red Wings news and stories to Local High School.
