Mike Veerman, host of “Mike on Much”, and pop culture aficionado Shane Cunningham, along with their long-time friend, award winning writer/director/producer (and MENSA member) Jonathan Popalis, all bring you “The Pedestal” podcast, presented by MUCH studios. Join them for a deep dive into some of the movies we all hold near dear to our hearts — and debate whether or not they really belong there. On each episode, the case is argued FOR and AGAINST a certain film standing the test of time, and is ultimately voted to either stay on the pedestal it’s been held up on ... or be kicked off of it.

In this episode, we need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle with the 1991 Arnold Schwarzenegger action blockbuster TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY.
After Pops divulges all the different ways this movie traumatized him in his youth (7:13), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with discussing what makes James Cameron such a prolific director (12:01). We debate how “sexy” Arnold is in this movie (17:30), how the special effects are still mind blowing (32:12), and whether or not Linda Hamilton actually stole the show (45:41). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with all the problems with the biker bar scene (52:15), Mike points out a very cringe worthy T-1000 line (1:01:01), and we discuss the inherent paradoxes that exist in any story about time travel (1:16:03).
