Warning: It gets rather sweary. Craig and Chris (eventually) from Whit's The Script? are joined by Sean to discuss Terminator Genisys (2015). Is the time right for a reappraisal for the much-maligned fifth instalment in the Terminator series? Probably not, but here goes. Discussion Points: -Craig does a surprisingly good English accent. -They struggle to understand the withering criticism directed towards this instalment. -Craig has chosen this hill to die on and it has Terminator Genisys written all over it. -Expectations versus reality. -The strong pacing of the film. -The spoilers in the trailers. -Sean talks about giving films a second chance. -Chris arrives after 46 minutes and well any truly rains on Craig and Sean's Genisys-themed parade. -Sean inadvertently reveals his CD collection. Random Questions: -Does the John Connor-Terminator hybrid have a model number? -Is Sean popular enough to do 'hot takes'? -Is The Lost World (1997) better than the original? -Should they have binned John Connor and Katherine Connor (Nee Brewster) from Terminator Salvation (2009)? -Jai Courtney has won his way back into Sean's good books, but has he got into yours? -Is J.K. Simmons (Robocop) easy money? -Why couldn't they paint the tyres over the guy's face? -Do you have film quotes that you think about every now and again? -Will Sean ever give Spectre (2015) another try? -Chris wonders, was Sarah Connor needed in this film? -Does anyone ever read these notes? -Why does Sean suddenly get so sweary? -How do you say lore? Random Quotes: -"The North East, it's like Scottish people with their heeds kicked in"-Craig sums up the North East people. -"It's not unwatchable but it's pretty bloody close"-Sean is disgusted by Terminator: Dark Fate (2019). -"Expectation goes above realisation"-Craig sums up the initial reaction to sequels. -"It is very high-end CGI"-Sean actually praises some CGI. -"The first time I saw him, I thought Oh you can't act!"
