Hello and welcome to Redshirt Cinema Club, a weekly podcast about robots that become our dad.
This week we continue our series on the best films 1991 with Rob's number one pick, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. This is James Cameron's sequel to his own 1984 noirish tech thriller, this time broadened into a family-friendly blockbuster in line with the career trajectory of its star, bad robot turned good robot, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
What will we make of this universally lauded action landmark? How will it fit into our ongoing discussions about machine sentience and artificial life? And what on earth are Rob and Nathan bickering about?
