<p>Bob jumps straight into the topic this episode with <em><strong>SPOILERS </strong></em>from the very start. This episode we assume that you have at least a familiarity with the basic plot of the Terminator films even if, like Mark, you've never seen them. We discuss the first three films and ignore the latter three (which neither Bob nor Mark has seen). Enjoy!</p>
