Rob and Jemry’s podcast is going through the entire filmography of Arnold Schwarzenegger from start to end. Join them on their journey from Hercules in New York all the way through Terminator: Dark Fate, or whatever happens to be the latest Schwarzenegger movie when they finish the podcast. We cover our favourite sequences, rank all the movies and pit each Arnold against each other in both a hypothetical fight to the death, and a laugh-off. We address the highlights and low-lights, and even suggest how we’d do each film differently. Hi-jinks ensue on the ultimate Arnold Schwarzenegger podcast: Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents*, A Nugget Loads Podcast.
*Please note that the word “Presents” in the title is in references to the films that Arnold Schwarzenegger has gifted us, and our podcast is in no way officially connected with Arnold Schwarzenegger himself.

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.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents – Episode 39 (Sabotage)
