DRUNK CINEMA 096: "The Terminator" Is Up!

 
"Cyborgs don't feel pain. I do. Don't do that again."
"Just let me go!"
"Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can't be bargained with! It can't be reasoned with! It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop...ever, until you are dead!"
-- Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor, The Terminator

Hello again, movie fans!  My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, Xan and I watch The Terminator, the 1984 science fiction action film directed by James Cameron, introducing Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator and Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, with Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese and Paul Winfield as Lt. Ed Traxler!

This time, Xan and I discuss things like Xan celebrating her 50th birthday, Xan having some gut flora problems, my liking the first Terminator film better than the second, James Cameron's dream about a metallic torso holding kitchen knives dragging itself from an explosion, James Cameron being a horrible person to be married to, wondering why the kid in the restaurant dumped an entire scoop of ice cream in Sarah's pocket, the Terminator meets Dick Miller, why you shouldn't send AI Slop to the wife of an artist, Linda Hamilton on the Beauty and the Beast TV series, Xan thinking Lance Henriksen is cooler than Dick Miller, Ginger going full '80s hair band video girl, how I prefer my bologna sandwich, the second-best chase music in film, the emergence of barcode scanners, the importance of Dr. Peter Silberman in the Terminator franchise, wondering why the police station wasn't better prepared for an attack on the police station, wondering why James Cameron never made a Terminator film set in the post-apocalyptic future, the savior of the future getting born at the Tiki Motel, motel rooms with kitchens, Kyle Reese losing his virginity, the reveal of the T-800 endoskeleton, James Cameron talking his way out of a citation for not having a film permit, new Drunk Mail from Christine Peruski and Dave Proctor, Xan picking The Dark Crystal as her birthday movie, and more!
