Terminator Genisys

Comments

It was a joy to read Gillen’s work wrapping up a lot of the Krakoa stuff, even if I had to check his newsletter to make sure I was reading the issues in the right order 🤣

LS

The Enigma/realities/no place stuff was SO complicated but in the hands of a great writer like Kieron Gillen it was a blast to read and try to understand haha

Cody J Olsen

Was looking for this comment ...and with the talk of Lena Heady... She was already a badass Sarah Connor!

Evan Smale

One of the best commentaries (so far) that you guys have done. I love the passion, the decent tangents and not overcooked or lame bits (not that they exist) and it is just fun.

Kaz Nosu Gref

Compared to the recent X-Men comics where the Enigma Dominion manipulates the self-annihilating timelines of Mr. Sinister's Moira Engines from beyond spacetime, I found the time travel of this film to be pretty straightforward!

1. I love lunch orders it’s cozy 2. Reddit is pure hell let’s nuke it

fartinscorcese

I used to follow r/blankies and I just can't be bothered anymore...count me as another person who doesn't mind the lunch orders.

David Hiltner

We need a David Sims rant on children movies. Seeing the same movie over and over again creates this state of delirium

Stephen Ayres

Love how you guys just completely stopped paying attention to the movie, because I had the exact same experience trying to watch it. It is somehow anti-interesting. Impossible to keep your eyes on the screen or follow the plot. I really didn't think it would be worse than Salvation, but they somehow managed it.

Begemott

Who doesn’t love the lunch orders?!?!? Get the hell outta here, this is why I pay the big bucks.

Nick Gerber

Last Christmas is good

Jack o Diamonds

Just gonna add here, please don't let losers on Reddit influence you guys or the podcast. Sincerely, a much cooler loser who lurks Reddit.

Sam Post

I need to know what's the definitive Forky toy. Asking for a toddler.

Antonio Garcia

Hayley

Truly, whenever I think about this movie I think about Lee Byung-hun in the Magnificent Seven remake and I just wish that movie was a lot better cause its cast is so good haha, sure it has Pratt but that’s such a compelling cast, Fuqua can really put together a crew. And then the movie was a gentleman’s 5 and a quarter and didn’t play the music till the end credits

Rad Rodge

Dark Fate good!

Rad Rodge

Although I do prefer Worthington to Courtney so that’s something

Rad Rodge

I really agree with this, Salvaysh is not really like some kind of “of course the execution is trash but they took a bigger swing than Genisys so it gets my respect,” no way, this movie is definitely better

Rad Rodge

Which one of you pieces of asshole complained about lunch orders

Trevor Talley

I love lunch orders

Mike kloss

Really disappointed that Dirtbike Benny didn't point out young Kyle Reese's rad Honda Express moped.

Eric Smythe

I love the lunch orders!! and EVEN MORE i love when the gang can just be natural and not feel hamstrung to behave any certain way by redditors (who would literally complain about anything, so attempting to please them is futile)

sheabobay

That was supposed to be a surprise to be revealed in a follow-up movie, because somehow Hollywood thinks it's okay to pull that kind of shit now.

Kevin Kuenn

I still like the lunch orders

Leroy Beckett

Was there like a really bad thread on Reddit recently? They've been talking so much about Reddit on the pod

Michael Hashizume

They missed one of the crazier details that they have no idea who sent Pops back in time to raise Sara

John

Ben is SO fucking sassy on this and it's great!

Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)

Dany going bad is definitely not planned for the book, she'll blow up Kings Landing but that's only because there's a lot of wildfire stocked up underneath it.

BethBow

The Triple H Terminator entrance does suck as promotion for Genisys but it fucking rules as a Wrestlemania entrance

Austin McDougle

Well this was waaaay worse than I remembered it being.

Pete

Could have sworn that "Korean cop T-1000" and "Nanobot John Connor" were two different movies. Looking forward to Dark Fate. Unquestionably the best Terminator film since 1991.

Dave Valentine

I can’t stop singing nano bot man to the tune of candy man can

Benjamin Collison

The descent from this episode starting out with a euphoric, engaged Ben talking about the joys, the JOYS, of a 1:40 drive from NJ to Brooklyn all the way to Griffin talking about how his mental state has driven him to watch all of the Ted TV show speaks volumes about the psychological damage that can be wrought by Terminator Genisys

Jake Yosafat

I can’t stop thinking about this, I don’t even mean singing it although that too, I mean I can’t stop thinking about it now

Rad Rodge

Still here patiently waiting for you guys to talk about how Balfe’s score for this movie slaps …

Steven Peever

It's so nice not knowing anything about that shit anymore lol. I knew it was too much when I started recognizing usernames as someone who was an "annoying guy" or "bad take dude"

wox2d

The degree of regulatory capture that Chip Smith has managed is unconscionable

Rad Rodge

I share each of these positions

Rad Rodge

This movie has one idea, that John, Sarah, and Kyle are trapped in a loop and have essentially locked Skynet and humanity in the moment they sent Kyle back in time. They send a terminator, we stop it. They do it again, we stop it again. The third one is the only one with the integrity to follow this to it's logical conclusion. All these sequels are Skynet's hail mary to win but it's ultimately useless because the first one happened. Which is the perfect metaphor why to never make a sequel to first Terminator.

Robert Dailey

Ironic they bring up Al Madrigal in Morbius because Genisys is also "A lot like that thing in San Francisco."

Oliver Brindle

It's dumb 12 Monkeys, why are we making this more complicated?

Robert Dailey

Congrats Ben!!

Mikey Hamm

For what it’s worth (and I know my word won’t be as important as the vaunted redditor’s, a place that cultivates only the best opinions,) but it seems to me that the podcast is good, you don’t seem like you are wrapping it up, whatever amount of lunch discussion is fine, & JJ is great

Champagne and Gummy bears

Cornpop?! You brought in Cornpop?!

Jackson Thornton

Post engagement Ben is on fire with the takes!!!

Jackson Thornton

The more I hear you guys discuss it, the more I’m glad I completely deleted my Reddit profile last summer. Everyone should get off of there like Twitter.

Dan Foster

Massive rec for The Sarah Conner Chronicles, that show fuckin rules and you get Shirley Manson and Garrett fucking Dillahunt as terminators

Winson Paine

CONGRATS TO THE FUTURE QUEEN (and probably current queen too) NELLY AND BEN!

Matthew O'Reilly

First of all, wanna say love the show. Secondly, with that out of the way I hate Chip Smith with every fiber of my being. I lost my life's savings on Chipcoin. Anybody else think he should be in jail?

Griffin Thompson

This is my favorite latter-day Terminator sequel, because I just can't resist gobbledygook mythologizing!

Jeffrey Malone

Terminator 4 makes Terminator 6 look like Terminator 2.

JB

Terminator Genisys: Doo-Dah, Doo Dah

Kevin Kuenn

I actually passed out last night while trying watch this abomination.

Tom

I wrote on the reddit about Joe wright doing bond. Then there was a nice reply saying good idea more or less. Then I spouted off more dorky thoughts about it. Later my partner looked and said 'uh, that was Griffin' 😱😱🙂🙂😱🙂😱🙂

I think you could’ve fixed the Terminator Franchise with a sequel to T2 drawing from last year’s THE CREATOR. Here’s the pitch: T3: Rapture It’s the future, and humanity has prevented Judgement Day. The wider public has little information about what really happened, but stories spread and the governments of the world banned all AI. Religious cults form around John Connor and, in opposition to the AI ban, Miles Dyson. Both cults get a lot wrong about what happened. The JC cult thinks Connor died to stop the Terminators, for example. The Dyson cult believes the AI ban is wrong and they secretly make sentient machines. The film follows one of those machines, making them the one being chased and the humans the aggressors. One of those hunters has a change of heart and becomes their protector. Together, they run down rumors of a “rapture”, a giant satellite where the AI can live free from humans. (Call it a sky net, I don’t know, what do you want?) The film culminates with the two finding the still-alive Connor with a T-1000 he salvaged. They live together in exile, having concluded that humans and robots will always try to destroy each other. The two new characters give Connor and the T-1000 hope, but they squabble. We learn that the satellite, the “rapture”, only uploads the AI’s programming to hold them in stasis hidden in a forgotten piece of floating hardware. In the final attack, the two main characters are both injured. Connor and the T-1000 manage to save them by merging their parts. The AI uploads to the satellite to deliver a message to the other AI that reconciliation is possible, and the human ventures out into the world to preach a new gospel about the communion of man and machine.

John Halski

I am begging you guys to stay off the Reddit.

Sam

The Daily is a podcast that needs to end for the good of the world but will be around forever

David Brown

I need to know what Forky Griff got. Was it thr Medicom UDF??

Avri Rosen-Zvi

Here for the fantastic four talk more than anything. Hope you get that Herbie bag, Griff.

Peter M

Pin art boards are the chain mail of art boards.

Tom Lowery

Watching for the first time and what a Back To The Future 2 ass movie

Aaron VanTuyl

Talking about John Larroquette's son, is this a UYD podcast crossover?

Graham Parker

You guys: the blankies Reddit is terrible and full of people who are constantly complaining about things and us. And doesn’t at all seem to represent our listeners Also you guys every 10 minutes: so I was on the Reddit again

Kevin Fennell

Now I keep thinking about a terminator wearing a cowboy hat. Maybe munching on a cigar.

Brian Scanlan

Man, these reddit people sound really cool

Will McLaren

maybe y’all don’t hear it enough or maybe it’s negativity bias, but I truly love all of you with all of my heart. jj included

Jon Holt

Griffin really hates this movie and to be clear it’s not good but it blows the doors off salvation

JB

I wish you'd cover del Toro but I'm just happy he gets a call out in this

Doug Robertson

This is a hall of fame episode attached to a awful movie to watch along.

Tom

Congratulations Ben!! ❤️ Alexa play “Love is in the air”

Ancient alien

Ancient alien

I was the collaging consultant for Genisys and can confirm that they cut ALL of the collaging hobby plotline. Smh.

Jules

Scott Carberry

Zoe Smith
