Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents

Rob and Jemry are going through the entire filmography of one Hollywood Actor/Creator from start to end. In the first season we are watching the complete works of Arnold Schwarzenegger.* We review the movies, we review the Arnolds, we address the highlights and the low-lights and we even suggest how we’d do it given the chance. We cannot stress enough that we are not endorsed by the big man himself. *We reserve the right to veto cameo appearances, uncredited appearances, or “as himself”.

Episodes

15 - Red Heat

Get your passports ready as the podcast covers Red Heat , a film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Russian police officer on assignment in the USA. Paired opposite awful policeman and charisma vacuum Jim Belushi, the two learn that Russia and America aren't so different after all, at least when it comes to police brutality. Laurence Fishburne, Frank Boyle and Gina Gershon all have their time wasted as side characters who don't get much screen time, and there's plenty of gratuitous violence thr...

14 - Twins

What happens when you take the director of Ghostbusters, add Arnold Schwarzenegger, and throw in a handful of comedy writers? Depends on what year. This podcast visits the 1988 result, premise comedy Twins, where Danny Devito is the long lost criminal sibling to Schwarzenegger's naive multi-talented behemoth. Can they reconnect, reunite with their long-lost mother and escape with a stolen prototype engine, or will a giant chain fall on their heads over an extended period of time? Filmmaker Nic B...

13 - Predator

Stick around, we're putting together a crack team of commandos to record an Arnold Schwarzenegger podcast about Predator. We'll need a scorpion on a knife, a spare arm, a cloaking device and way too many pencils. The hazards include being hunted by an intergalactic alien, who was born and bred for trophy hunting, along with the occasional chance of being skinned alive or having your spine removed. Don't worry though, because the alien has anti-mud vision, and can be undone by a little dirt and w...

12 - The Running Man

It's showtime! The podcast puts on its running shoes, and covers your favourite Richard Bachman aka Stephen King aka Jack Torrance adaptation that also features Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Running Man . The good news is Sven actually plays a character called Sven. The bad news is we don't see enough footage from The Hate Boat. Who loves you, and who(m) do you love? Rob and Jemry are joined on the podcast by Ry of Backyard Boys Gaming to cover The Running Man from start to finish. From Sven Watch ...

11 - Raw Deal

Remember not to drink and bake, as we go from being the sheriff of a small town to undercover with the mob, as the podcast arrives at the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, Raw Deal . Magnets, junkyards, and games of chicken with bulldozers dominate as Arnie tears apart the mob piece by piece, and a priest accidentally runs into an open grave. Whoops! On this podcast, Rob and Jemry watch, discuss and rank Raw Deal , and the Arnold Schwarzenegger content contained within. That's the whole premise, yo...

09 - Red Sonja

Arnold Schwarzenegger co- stars as Kalidor (aka Not Conan) this week on the podcast, as Dino De Laurentiis carefully makes his way around some copyright shenanigans with Red Sonja . Pull on your Levis, grip your sword loosely, and marvel as Arnie appears at the last minute to save our heroine EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This movie is a true masterpiece of not being a masterpiece. Joined by Scott of Backyard Boys Gaming , Rob and Jemry take the podcast through the failed Conan the Conqueror attempt that...

08 - The Terminator

"So, this podcast, it’s from the future, is that right?" "One possible future. From your point of view. Listen, and understand. That Arnold Schwarzenegger podcast is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you have listened to it." Joined by their first guest, the fantastic Daniel Stiglec, Rob and Jemry watch the movie that put "I'll be back" in the Arnold Schwarzenegger lexicon, The...

07 - Conan the Destroyer

Wilt Chamberlain, Grace Jones, Andre the Giant, and the return of Mako?! Why, this is my kinda movie!

06 - Conan the Barbarian

Is it just me, or did you want more of James Earl Jones and the snake transformations? This witch is done, throw her into the fire! Arnold becomes a king in an unrelated and untold story at the end of this film, and you too can become a king*, just like, share, and subscribe, or whatever you do with podcasts. Rob and Jemry watch Conan the Barbarian , and hold a somewhat controversial opinion about it. You, too, can be outraged by their opinions, all you need do is listen to the episode, which we...

05 - The Jayne Mansfield Story

Which famous bodybuilder could our favourite Arnold be playing in this dramatised biopic? Could he be playing Jayne Mansfield herself? No, that would be too good for human consumption. you’ll have to listen to our podcast to find out, or at least look up the cast list on IMDb or Wikipedia. This description’s sure not gonna tell you. Learn some maybe not so true fact about Hollywood in this episode of Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents, as Jemry and Rob sit down and watch The Jayne Mansfield Story ....

04 - Cactus Jack/The Villain

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a handsome stranger called Handsome Stranger in this ridiculous comedy from 1979. The twist is that it’s really just a live action Road Runner movie, with Kirk Douglas as Wile E. Coyote. The other twist is that they shouldn’t have hired Paul Lynde. Join Rob and Jemry on their journey through a tunnel painted on a cliff face, and out the other side, as we watch Cactus Jack aka The Villain .

03 - Pumping Iron

It’s a 90° swerve into a documentary this week, as we look at one of Arnold’s “as himself” credits, and perhaps his most important (after Last Action Hero , naturally). Sure, there’s a bit of Franco Columbu here, or some Lou Ferrigno there, but it’s really Arnold who steals the show, villainous portrayal or not. Do some sick reps, and don’t forget the screams, as you join Rob and Jemry to watch Pumping Iron .

02 - Stay Hungry

Jeff Bridges and Sally Field co-star in this charm- wait a minute, this is Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents! Former Mr. Universe Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a Mr. Universe hopeful at a gym Jeff Bridges is looking to demolish. That is, until the charming gym members, and the gym’s seedy owner, win Jeff Bridges heart, but not that of his parent’s butler, wiley old Scatman Crothers. It’s a wild ride, but someone’s gotta take it, so jump on board as Rob and Jemry watch Stay Hungry , the movie that won...

01 - Hercules in New York

It’s 1970, and we live in a pre-Pumping Iron, pre-Conan, pre-Terminator world. Arnie has so little clout that they rename him to Arnold Strong as an in-joke, and dub over him with another actor. Also, he fights a man in a bear-suit, and loses a weight lifting competition, two things the real Arnold Schwarzenegger would never do. Join us (that’s Rob and Jemry) as we go back to where it all began, and watch what is hopefully the nadir of Arnold’s film career, Hercules in New York ....
