Men Who Stare At GOATs

The Terminator

December 11, 2022 • John and Simon • Season 1 • Episode 15

This time join The Men Who Stare at GOATs are back with a mission, as we revisit another James Cameron classic, and another movie where machines try to kill us, it's 1984s Terminator!

It's easy to forget how sacred films were back before we just kept getting sequels and spin-offs, but for a long time this movie was the pinnacle of gritty sci-fi, action, horror or some might say Tech Noir..

With the true birth of a star in Arnold Schwarzenegger as the relentless and eyebrow-less killing machine, we will discuss whether this film effects are ahead of its time, or belong back in the stone-age. Is the pacing and exposition as long-winded as stop motion or does it punctuate the action scenes as smooth and fluid as liquid metal? And of course we'll decide if it gets a place on THE GOAT LIST.
