Terminator Genisys (2015)
01:15:16 Share

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss Terminator Genisys. An aged version of the T-800 named Pops (Arnold Schwarzenegger) travels back in time to protect a young Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke). John Connor (Jason Clarke) and Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) are also sent back in time for completely different reasons. 

Terminator Genisys grabs its time travel aspect by the throat and runs in all sorts of loony directions. Too bad this film was meant to start a trilogy! We're stuck with a lot of setup and exposition with little pay off. Jai Courtney is OK as Kyle Reese, but Arnold Schwarzenegger seems more engaged as the T-800 than he's been in years. 

Thrasher and Mat discuss the short-lived Nintendo Virtual Boy console from the 1990s and how Jeremy Parish is reviewing every game for it released in the US. Mat thinks Ant-Man and the Wasp has a cleaner story than Ant-Man, but also is less creative.
