Woman Inherits the Earth: Terminator 1 & 2
In this, the Terminator episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss the feminist legacy, such as it is, of Sarah Connor, what makes a good robot story, Data from Star Trek and the Iron Giant, and finally all possible iterations of a time travel story and whether Terminator’s time travel story makes any sense at all.
Content warning: discussion of action movie violence.
Extra Spoiler Note: This episode contains spoilers for Terminator 1 & 2, but also for The Iron Giant, 12 Monkeys, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and multiple episodes of Star Trek: Voyager, including the finale.
A note about spoilers: As much as we’d love to make this a spoiler-free podcast, the truth is, we can’t really get much of a discussion going without completely spoiling the plot of the film we’re talking about. If you don’t want to be spoiled, watch the movie before you listen to us.
