Our podcast's coverage of Arnold Schwarzenegger films almost comes to an end in the penultimate episode of season 1. Joined by Nick Mason, we cover Arnold's latest* theatrical release, Terminator: Dark Fate , and review what we have learned so far, which admittedly isn't much. Recorded in late 2019 in a lead up to the Arnold Schwarzenegger Battle Royale , this episode features book smarts, stunt doubles and murder victims, along with an aging robot that's learned how to feel. *I'm not entirely s...

Joined by Avery Hutley, the podcast watches the Scoot McNairy film Aftermath and then, in the Aftermath of that traumatic event, discusses cinema sound calibration, air traffic control protocol, and the merits of military training from a long, long time ago. Oh, and the film itself.

Randy Adeva returns to the podcast for a record third time to discuss the extended SNL sketch that is Taran Killam's Killing Gunther . As with most other episodes of the podcast, Arnold Schwarzenegger makes an appearance in the film we're discussing, and is arguably the best part. Our fight to the death this week finally enters the MCU™, as The Hulk™ takes on a brain surgeon, an ice skater and a dancing clown who may or may not be named Chubbs™....

Erin Michelle joins the podcast this week for Terminator Genisys, a film that doesn't ever give an explanation its portmanteau title, or any of its plot, really. Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke and Jason Clarke all hide their natural accents and join Arnold Schwarzenegger to portray less iconic versions of characters you've seen in better terminator films. You can check out both Erin and Jemry in Pretty Good Lineup , 6th – 19th of April at the 2020 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, details av...

Matthew Vasquez joins the podcast this week for David Ayer's Sabotage , an Arnold Schwarzenegger film featuring a surprising lack of sabotage. Maybe they should have gone with a more descriptive title, like Subterfuge, or Underwhelming. In other parts of the podcast, a father, a president and a music teacher walk into a sewer. No, it's not a joke, it's an introduction to our recurring fight to the death segment.
Dec 22, 2019•26 min•Season 1Ep. 39
Joined by Jordan Barr, the podcast takes another journey with a team called The Expendables that consider themselves anything but. Can the presence of Wesley Snipes and Kelsey Grammar take this movie to heights hitherto unreached by the previous films? The short answer is no.
Dec 11, 2019•42 min•Season 1Ep. 38
Joined by Maddy Weeks, the podcast goes down to the bottom floor of a top secret boat jail in search of someone named Mannheim, but only finds the subject of our very special podcast, Arnold Schwarzenegger. We also watch and discuss Escape Plan , for those playing at home. Elsewhere, in fight to the death news, snowmen fight dragons, demons fight superheroes, and someone bravely sacrifices themselves for no real reason. It's all happening on this boat, folks!

Joined by Angus Gordon, this Arnold Schwarzenegger podcast watches The Last Stand , in which FBI agent Forest Whitaker chases an international drug lord in a race to the Mexican border. If you're confused as to how this premise relates to an Arnold Schwarzenegger/Johnny Knoxville small town action-comedy, join the damn club.

Joined by Josh Webb and Matthew Hespe, it's an even bigger and more coherently edited team up than last week, as the podcast explores The Expendables 2 . In this one, Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes self-aware, sees humanity as a threat to his existence, and decides to trigger a deadly nuclear strike. We also find out the answer to the question everyone is asking: What can Abraham Lincoln, two bears and a guy with a bow and arrow do against a bunch of bickering action stars? Also, why is Chuck Nor...

It's the team-up of the century this week on Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents, A Nugget Loads Podcast , as Tias Allard joins us to cover The Expendables . It's a film so chock full of action stars it doesn't have any time for things like a credible plot or coherent editing, but hey, they got Arnold for a few minutes, so we're going to cover it. Things also heat up in the life, death and tattoo arena, with a super villain, an evil ex, and some bio-digital jazz, man. Be sure to check out the best Ar...

Joined by Dave Hynes, the podcast covers the Terminator film with the least of our favourite Arnold, Terminator Salvation , and somewhat appropriately, stays the least on topic of any of our Arnold Schwarzenegger podcasts. Featuring a monkey thought translator, a man with many clones, and a whole bunch of top quality improvements, this podcast finally answers the question everyone is asking: is Joel Edgerton in the Terminator movies? The answer may surprise you.
Nov 14, 2019•46 min•Season 1Ep. 33
Starved for Arnold Schwarzenegger content in the dark governor years of 2003-2011, the podcast takes a glimpse into the fictional life of Tom Arnold analogue Bill Williams in the movie The Kid and I . Joined by Bella Green and Cat Finch, the podcast explores Twins remakes, ghost characters, and a 9-person battle royale involving Hard Candy's Ellen Page, and, no judgement, Allegra from the movie Hitch.
Nov 10, 2019•29 min•Season 1Ep. 32
Tess Bentley joins the podcast this week, as we watch Around the World in 80 Days , and discuss statues of the kaiju Rodan, muppets, and just what Mark Addy will do when he's guaranteed a physician that can replace his nipples. Also, our episodic fight to the death features love/life himself, a vampire hunter, and the voice of Tom Kenny, along with our usual buttery Arnold Schwarzenegger goodness.
Nov 07, 2019•32 min•Season 1Ep. 31
After an extended break in respect for the last podcast appearance of Sven, the podcast returns for some more Arnold goodness with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines . It's the first Terminator film to not feature Linda Hamilton, the first not to be directed by James Cameron, and unfortunately, the first one that's just not that good. Joined by Joseph Green, who had not yet seen Terminator 2 due to a miscommunication, Rob and Jemry use the podcast to talk about Sgt Candy, the terminator detectin...

Arnold Schwarzengger insists you have fun, Christopher Walken welcomes you the jungle, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson gives you the rundown. Why can't any of these movie stars mind their own damn business?! Joined by Tom Bown, the best Arnie podcast around covers the Peter Berg classic Welcome to the Jungle (or The Rundown if you're a fan of inferior titles), and debates whether taking Option A or Option B is the winning strategy.

So you want a podcast on Collateral Damage , huh? I'll give you a podcast on Collateral Damage ! Arnold Schwarzenegger goes on the hunt for The Wolf, the Colombian terrorist responsible for the death of his wife and child. He also wants to know where his comedy relief sidekick is, since every time one appears they seem to die one scene later. Randy Adeva ( Episode 21 - True Lies ) returns to the podcast to teach us about Punch Drunk Love, killing Ben Parker, and the dangers of spitting hot fire ...

How can there be a The Sixth Day after the End of Days? The podcast explores by not mentioning End of Days at all, and instead discussing this Arnold Schwarzenegger movie on its own terms. Jonathan Stiglec joins Rob and Jemry to discuss the ethical conundrums of cloning Arnold Schwarzenegger, making nacho cheese bananas, and having a threesome with a clone of yourself, on this podcast about The Sixth Day .
Aug 16, 2019•28 min•Season 1Ep. 27
It's the End of Days , but not for the podcast, as we cover the famed Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, and the eighty million cuts contained within. The wonderful Chris Ritchie joins Rob and Jemry this week for an extra long episode exploring light speed trains, flammable urine and the demons of the apple dimension.

A freeze is coming, as the best Arnold Schwarzenegger podcast in town chills out with the coolest movie in town, Batman and Robin . I hope you enjoy terrible ice puns, because they're certainly not going to get any better. Matthew Hespe joins Jemry and Rob to talk about Frasier, Coolio and George of the Jungle, plus we get to the surface of those Air Buddies films, and take down all the fat cats in the diamond industry.
Jul 16, 2019•41 min•Season 1Ep. 25
There's railguns galore, Perfect Dark -style, as the podcast visits Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1996 classic Eraser . Suspiciously large brooches, high pressure skyscrapers, and some bloodthirsty CGI alligators all make for a fun time, as does Robert Pastorelli as Johnny Casteleone. Also, Sven Watch makes a return. Roland Hoffmann ( @RolandoHoffmann ) joins Rob and Jemry on the podcast, and creates some literal Shakespearean tragedy, and also probably traumatises a fictional deer. The Arnold Schwarz...

The podcast celebrates Christmas in July as we revisit Jingle All The Way , the movie where Arnold Schwarzenegger fights a group of Santas trying to sell bootleg children's toys. Of course, this is likely in direct retaliation to Turbo Man taking over the starring role in the Christmas parade, but what can 30 Santas do in the face of consumerism gone mad. Donna Collins joins Rob and Jemry on the podcast, as we discuss the ethical problems with continuing franchises and feeding poisoned 14-year-o...
Jul 01, 2019•37 min•Season 1Ep. 23
The podcast this week visits Junior, the Ivan Reitman film that casts Arnold Schwarzenegger in his most unlikely role yet: a scientist, and dares to ask the question "how can man form prangent"? Tess Bentley joins Rob and Jemry on the podcast, as we watch Junior and learn that a bag of heroin can't raise a baby, giving birth is relatively chill, and lobster claws can be propelled to the strangest of places.
Jun 09, 2019•29 min•Season 1Ep. 22
This week on the podcast, we cover True Lies , our last James Cameron film before the release of Avatar IV: The Quest for Peace. With some questionable hiring procedures and horse-elevator etiquette, Arnold Schwarzenegger rides real fast past a guy on a saxophone, and oh boy, is he surprised? Yes. Randy Adeva joins Jemry and a characteristically quiet Rob for some analysis, rankings, and the typical fight to the death scenario between a whole bunch of Jim Carrey characters and a bus. Along the w...

The president is replaced and donuts are smacked out of hands this week, as the podcast visits Dave , the movie that you didn't even realise had Arnold Schwarzenegger in it. A thirty second cameo for a familiar director means we have another movie to cover, and this one is full of intrigue if you watch it enough times, and notice some conspicuous corgis. Sean Morgan joins Rob and Jemry to watch the Kevin Kline vehicle Dave , and witness the long-con Kevin Kline pulls to help his struggling emplo...

Arnold Schwarzenegger is Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jack Slater as the podcast goes beyond the silver screen and visits Last Action Hero and the films contained therein. Fish go both in and out of water as Danny Madigan from My Girl 2 uses a magic ticket, handed down from the greatest magicians, and also a lousy projectionist, to visit an Arnold Schwarzenegger character and A Talking Cat!?! Ry joins Rob and Jemry on the podcast as we go beyond the fourth wall, and fight a bobsled, a T-Rex and a ho...

This week on the podcast, there's some time travelling, liquid-metal-body-morphing shenanigans going on, and only our good terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger is fit to deal with the problem. First, however, he has to learn some 90s slang from an American teenager. Cowabunga! Ben Searle joins the podcast to cover Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Terminator 2 , fights to the death, and what would be a very strange book club. Will he turn out to be Robert Patrick in a clever ruse to infiltrate our ranks...

The podcast is going back to school, as Schwarzengger re-teams with his old pal Ivan Reitman to bring us Kindergarten Cop . This time, there's jokes along with the premise, and the whole thing goes swimmingly. Well, except for a missing 3 million dollars, a burning school, kidnapped children, witnesses handcuffed to corpses, a liberal application of shotgun rounds... you know what? Maybe it doesn't go so swimmingly after all. Emma Holland joins Rob and Jemry to discuss talking ferrets, propeller...

If it was a Total Recall, why was he there at all? The podcast that tells you the how, the why, and the who of Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to Mars to figure out his missing memories, or maybe they're just being lobotomised. It's all up to interpretation. Joined by comedian Luke Leonard, Rob and Jemry explore Arnold Schwarzenegger's best film (fight me!), and have Cher lose at karaoke (it's a long story). You can catch Luke Leonard's MICF show, Late Night Storytelling at a Reasonable Hour toni...
