Just a year after Nolan's sophomore, sleeper hit Memento made him a serious contender at the Oscars, his third film was given a much bigger budget and an Oscar winning cast. Backed by big time Hollywood hits George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh, Nolan directed a remake of a 5 year old Norwegian film of the same name and premise. Being the only film Nolan didn't write, receiving critical appraise but a lukewarm reception at the box office; this is one of the director's oft-forgotten about films. 18 years later should audiences wake up to go watch this film or is it best to let it sleep? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Insomnia to find out!

After Nolan's extreme indie hit, Following, him and his brother decided to adapt a short story his brother wrote titled Memento Mori. Following in the steps of Quentin Tarantino by telling a non-linear story, Nolan went even further by telling part of the story chronologically in black and white and the other half in color in reverse order. This brilliant, inventive method garnered him his first Academy Award nomination for Writing. Comfortably residing in the top 100 greatest films of all time, Nolan's sophomore sleeper hit isn't one audiences have forgotten. Join Corbin and Allen as they review Memento to find out how unforgettable this film truly is.

In early 1998, young 28 year old Christopher Nolan, debuted his first film, Following, to a few film festivals in the United States and the United Kingdom. He never went to film school but instead got his degree in English (just like co-host Corbin). He made his film for only $6,000 (an unheard of sum). At the time, no one had ever heard of him...today...he is considered one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. Join Corbin and Allen as they embark on reviewing all 10 of Christopher Nolan's films, leading up to his "event" blockbuster this summer, Tenet. 22 years later, does young Nolan's first film hint at the genius to come or does its un-theatrical 70 minute length spell "amateur"? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Following to find out!

5 years after the failed 5th installment in the Terminator series, a brand-new reboot is back (for the third time), and this time it's a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Also, after 29 years, James Cameron, the creator of the Terminator is back to give story direction to the latest film. While this film ended up being a flop at the box-office, it still received critical praise and audiences were fine with it. The Terminator has been around for 35 years, has spawned six films with half of those being reboots hoping to spawn new trilogies of their own. So is this second film in the second decade of the second millennium another failed entry or is it actually the best installment since T2?

After Terminator Salvation failed to garner enough profits to warrant a sequel--the studio that newly acquired the property decided to do a fresh reboot. While this film draws upon the original source material--it goes in a wild new direction no Terminator fan could have imagined. So in some ways it is a sequel but it's also a remake/reimagining. At the time considered the most scorned film in the franchise--now upon it's fifth anniversary--most viewers have softened on this light-hearted take. But are Corbin and Allen giving this toyetic version a pass or are they handing it over to the T-800 for Judgement Day? Join them as they review Terminator Genisys!

6 years after the surprisingly successful Terminator 3--John Connor is back but from the future! The very first Terminator film to fully take place after Judgement Day; the year is 2018 and the Resistance is on the brink of winning the war against the Machines. Fully loaded with spectacular practical effects and Batman himself, Christian Bale, the film seemed destined to be a winner...except it wasn't. Universally despised by critics, under-performing at the box office and a mild reception by audiences it was clear the franchise had fallen out of popular opinion. What was supposed to be the beginning to a brand-new trilogy, instantly spiraled toward an unknown future. After 11 years has Terminator Salvation actually become the best film in the entire series or is this take too Mad Maxian for the Machines to handle? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Terminator Salvation to find out!
Join the discussion-Comment below! Question after the show: Is this moreso a Terminator movie or a Mad Max movie? Why or why not? Also, would you like to see a sequel to this entry?

A new decade; a new millennium. If you thought it was a long wait between the first and second Terminator films well how about waiting 12 years for a third installment! That's right listeners, after the blowout success of T2, shockingly the studios involved didn't immediately capitalize on the success but rather waited over a decade. A lot happened between T2 and T3--James Cameron was out, Linda Hamilton was out, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was on the cusp of becoming the Governor of California. This time the stakes are even higher, Judgment Day wasn't stopped, it was simply protracted. With a new cast and crew, the first ever female Terminator and finally the rise of the machines is this critically lauded installment third time's the charm or is it a pile of T-800 skeletons? Join Corbin and Allen as they give their review of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines to find out!
Join the discussion-Comment below! Question after the show: Was it a mistake to not bring James Cameron and Linda Hamilton back or does this movie prove the series is just fine without them?

7 long years after James Cameron's critically acclaimed (100% on Rotten Tomatoes) sophomore directorial feature, he said he would be back and he sure is with a bang! Terminator 2, or T2, as it's come to be known, has become an American cultural icon. This film has aged so well it has been firmly planted within the top 50 greatest films of all time. Removing nostalgia and the zeitgeist hype does this film actually deserve to be considered one of the last great films of the millennium? Join Corbin and Allen as they bring you their highly anticipated review of Terminator 2: Judgement Day!
Join the discussion-Comment below! Question after the show: Is this one of the rare instances where the sequel is actually better than the original?

36 years ago, audiences first saw what would become a cultural icon...Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator. Up-and-coming director, James Cameron, blended part horror, part science-fiction thriller to create a film that would launch a worldwide phenomenon that is still prevalent many decades later. With signature catchphrases like, "I'll be back", Cameron and Schwarzenegger would bolster themselves as the hottest Hollywood ticket. Despite this being a highly beloved film, does it hold up long past Judgement Day? Join Corbin and Allen as they review The Terminator to find out!
