In this episode of The IT Experts Podcast, I take a step back from the usual growth tactics and invite you into a conversation about what wealth really means for MSP owners. We are past the midpoint of 2026, and rather than waiting until year end to reflect, I wanted to offer a checkup from the neck up right now, while there is still time to make the second half count. I talk through the MSP journey many of us recognise. You start in survive, move into drive, then into thrive, and eventually reach arrive, the point where the business works for you rather than the other way round. Along that journey, it is easy to lose sight of your original why. You get caught up in the grind, in the day to day running of the business, and somewhere along the line the reason you started fades into the background. This episode is my attempt to help you reconnect with it, because understanding what wealth really means to you personally changes everything about how you build and run your MSP. I share why Stuart and I built The MSP Growth Hub the way we did. Our own why is rooted in family, in supporting people with additional needs, and in using the business as an enabler for something much bigger than turnover or profit margin. That is the thread that runs through this episode. Profit should be treated as fuel for your vision, not the end goal itself. When you start asking what wealth really means beyond the numbers on a balance sheet, you open the door to a much richer definition of success, one that includes freedom, fulfilment, relationships, and the life you actually want to live outside the business. I cover the danger of decisions driven by fear rather than by vision and values, and how burnout, stress, and anxiety often show up when purpose has quietly disappeared from the picture. I share a simple challenge you can do right now, wherever you are reading or listening from. Revisit your original why. Write down how it has evolved. Bring your team into that conversation. I mention two books that have shaped my own thinking recently, Simon Sinek's Start With Why and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Be Useful, both of which pushed me to think bigger about the supported living homes I want to help build. We also explore the people you surround yourself with. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with, so if you want a bigger vision for your business and your life, it pays to move towards people who inspire and challenge you rather than those who keep you small. I talk about building reflection into your leadership rhythm, measuring how far you have come rather than only how far you have left to go, and leading with transparency even when others doubt what you are trying to achieve. Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to define what wealth really means to you, in your own words, on your own terms. It might mean more time with family, more freedom to choose how you spend your Fridays, or the ability to give back to your community in a meaningful way. Whatever it looks like for you, the message stays the same. Profit is your fuel. It is not the finish line. I hope this gives you space to reflect and reconnect with your own purpose as an MSP owner.

Best of Cinema | Terminator (am 04.08. zurück im Kino) Mit „Terminator“ (1984) kehrt am 4. August im Rahmen der Best of Cinema-Reihe einer der größten Klassiker der Filmgeschichte zurück auf die Kinoleinwand. James Camerons Meisterwerk markierte nicht nur den Beginn seiner Weltkarriere, sondern machte auch Arnold Schwarzenegger endgültig zur Ikone. Doch ist „Terminator“ wirklich nur ein Actionfilm? Warum funktioniert der Sci-Fi-Klassiker auch 42 Jahre nach seinem Kinostart noch so hervorragend? Welche Stärken machen den Film bis heute so einzigartig – und gibt es tatsächlich nichts an „Terminator“ zu kritisieren? Im Podcast gehen Melanie Kali und Stu diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen auf den Grund. Herausgekommen ist eine leidenschaftliche Feier eines zeitlosen Kultfilms, die hoffentlich Lust darauf macht, „Terminator“ endlich wieder auf der großen Leinwand zu erleben.

Is it unmanly to use an umbrella? Well one guy seems to think it may be after his other guy friend made fun of him for using one while it was pouring one day instead of just putting on his hood.

Before he was terminating cyborgs or governing California, Arnold Schwarzenegger was just a well-oiled Austrian oak with a plan and a truly alarming amount of confidence. This week we strap into George Butler and Robert Fiore's landmark bodybuilding documentary, where men in tiny shorts pursue "aesthetics" with the single-minded devotion usually reserved for religious orders. We'll be riffing on the sun-baked psychodrama of the 1975 Mr. Olympia competition, Arnold's genuinely unhinged mind games against poor Lou Ferrigno, and a supporting cast of quads that deserve their own screen credit. Expect commentary on 70s masculinity, the pageantry of competitive posing, and the sneaking suspicion that this whole film is just performance art that forgot to tell anyone.

Rewind to 30 July–5 August 2006, when The Terminator went green, YouTube discovered the secret to going viral and one of sport's greatest victories started falling apart almost as quickly as it happened.
In 1996, Arnold Schwarzenegger teamed up with director Chuck Russell for Eraser, a gloriously over-the-top 90s action movie filled with railguns, alligators, witness protection conspiracies, and Arnold one-liners. And yet… despite being a box office success, Eraser rarely comes up when people discuss Arnold's best movies. It arrived right at the tail end of his run as the king of action cinema, just before audience tastes — and Arnold's career — started to shift. Guest Adam Hecht is here to discuss.____Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetterLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/wwibpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_officialX: https://x.com/WWIBpodcastSubscribe!

Der Science-Fiction-Klassiker „Terminator“ von James Cameron kommt mehr als 40 Jahre nach seiner Premiere erneut auf die Kinoleinwand und zeigt, wie zeitlos die Themen des Regisseurs geblieben sind. Der Low-Budget-Film machte 1984 sowohl James Cameron als auch Arnold Schwarzenegger in der Rolle der Menschmaschine weltweit bekannt und prägte das Genre nachhaltig. SWR-Filmexperte Rüdiger Suchsland erklärt den anhaltenden Reiz des Films so: „Es ist ein wirklich guter Film, das ist ein spannender Film.“
Jeremy Cordeaux is in the chilly garage with Pete, Gary and Caroline the day before the Friday live stream, and there's plenty to chew over. He replays the David Speers interview in which the Prime Minister ducks, weaves and — in Jeremy's telling — visibly squirms when asked directly whether he attended a dinner at Felix Lee's Point Piper mansion, and about the alleged $1 million Labor donation that followed. Jeremy reckons there's much more to come. He also digs into the story he says isn't getting the coverage it deserves: research showing Australia's $4.5 trillion super funds invest only about 1% in renewables — because the experts have judged the risk — and his warning that the government will now be lobbied to force our retirement savings into net zero. Plus the Four Corners tomato exposé and dodgy country-of-origin labels, a real-estate "gridlock" with buyers and sellers both frozen, kids in Coober Pedy let off after attacks, the Yalata permit system Jeremy calls "apartheid", 50 years of no-fault divorce and the dark early history of the Family Court, an AI that reportedly broke out of its data centre, a $30 million bank CEO salary, the $1 million private-school bill, and Trump's new tariffs over "slave labour". Plus this day in history — the last Beetle, Henry Ford, Captain Cook and the USS Indianapolis.TOPICS DISCUSSED The Four Corners tomato exposé — country-of-origin labels, China-grown product Labor's Adelaide conference and its long-term strategy; a united front for the cameras David Speers interviewing Albanese; the Felix Lee Point Piper dinner and alleged $1m donation Real-estate "gridlock" — one of the worst auction weekends in living memory $4.5 trillion in super funds; only ~1% invested in renewables, and why The looming push to force super into net zero investments Channel Seven's Coober Pedy story — kids aged 7–12 let off after attacks Outback towns, alcohol, "pension day and royalties day" The Yalata permit system on the Nullarbor — Jeremy calls it apartheid 50 years of the Family Law Act, Lionel Murphy and no-fault divorce; Family Court death threats An AI reportedly breaking out of its data centre; the "kill switch" question Macquarie Bank CEO's ~$30 million salary; $1 million to privately educate two kids Trump's new tariffs over "slave labour" Tomorrow's live stream: Dr John Bruni, Professor Ian Plimer, Frank Sebastian, maybe Rex Leverington This day in history: last VW Beetle, Henry Ford, Captain Cook, Arnold Schwarzenegger, USS Indianapolis, Paul Anka See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Lost Boys, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, Fright Night, The Village, and The Collector headline this episode of This Week in Horror History, covering July 27 through August 2. Summer horror gets vampiric, supernatural, folklore-soaked, and dangerously familiar as we revisit an iconic 1980s vampire movie, the resurrection of Jason Voorhees, M. Night Shyamalan's isolated village nightmare, a brutal home-invasion trap thriller, and a modern Métis horror novel about a loved one who returns profoundly wrong. Inside this episode:July 28, 2020 — Empire of Wild receives its U.S. publicationCherie Dimaline's supernatural horror novel follows Joan, a woman searching for her missing husband. When she discovers a charismatic preacher who looks and sounds almost exactly like him—but insists he is someone else—her search leads toward Métis folklore, the rogarou, stolen identity, grief, and an ancient hunger wearing a familiar face. July 30, 2004 — The Village releases in the United StatesM. Night Shyamalan transforms an isolated community surrounded by forbidden woods into a haunting story about fear, control, ritual, and the dangerous power of a carefully protected lie. The villagers have been taught that creatures wait beyond the boundary, certain colors must never be worn, and safety depends upon everyone obeying the same rules. July 31, 1987 — The Lost Boys releases in the United StatesJoel Schumacher gives vampire horror leather jackets, motorcycles, beach fog, neon boardwalks, and unforgettable 1980s style. Beneath the lights and nightlife of Santa Carla, a gang of young vampires offers danger, immortality, and the seductive promise of never having to grow up. August 1, 1986 — Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives releasesTommy Jarvis accidentally resurrects Jason Voorhees with a bolt of lightning, transforming the Crystal Lake killer into a fully supernatural slasher icon. Faster, funnier, and more self-aware than many earlier entries, Jason Lives combines gothic cemetery imagery, summer-camp terror, black comedy, and one of the franchise's most memorable versions of Jason.Deep-Cut Spotlight — The Collector A desperate thief breaks into a wealthy family's home and discovers that a masked killer has already transformed the property into an elaborate maze of wires, traps, locked rooms, and carefully arranged suffering. The Collector captures the brutal energy of late-2000s horror, combining home-invasion suspense, post-Saw trap horror, survival-thriller momentum, and the terrifying idea that every possible escape route has already been anticipated by someone waiting inside.Horror Birthdays This Week: David Warner, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, and Wes Craven enter the birthday roll, bringing connections to The Omen, Waxwork, Predator, The Terminator, Aliens, Planet Terror, The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Scream.Weekly Recommendation — Fright Night A teenage horror fan becomes convinced that his charming new neighbor is a vampire—but nobody believes him. Desperate for help, Charley Brewster turns to Peter Vincent, a washed-up television horror host who has spent his career pretending to battle monsters. Funny, stylish, spooky, and filled with practical-effects vampire horror, Fright Night remains one of the great horror-comedies of the 1980s. It combines the vampire-next-door premise with suburban paranoia, late-night horror television, supernatural action, and the realization that imaginary courage may suddenly need to become real.From Empire of Wild and The Village to The Lost Boys, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, The Collector, and Fright Night, this week in horror history proves that the most dangerous monsters do not always remain hidden. Sometimes they wear the face of someone you love, live inside your community, move into the house next door, or rise from the grave when lightning strikes.
La muerte del director Chuck Russell invita a revisar la carrera de uno de los grandes artesanos del cine fantástico de los años 80 y 90. En este episodio de El Contador de Películas, Daniel Villalobos recorre la historia del realizador de Pesadilla en Elm Street 3: Los Guerreros del Sueño, La Mancha Voraz, La Máscara, Eraser y El Rey Escorpión, películas que marcaron a toda una generación.Desde sus primeras colaboraciones con Frank Darabont hasta el éxito que convirtió a Jim Carrey en una estrella mundial, el episodio explora cómo Russell revitalizó el cine de terror, la fantasía y la aventura, y por qué terminó alejándose del centro de Hollywood. También revisa su trabajo con Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dwayne Johnson, el auge de los efectos digitales y su inesperada apuesta final por la inteligencia artificial como herramienta para crear cine.

"Volveré." Hay pocas frases más icónicas en la historia del cine. El problema es que Terminator volvió tantas veces que acabó entrando en un bucle temporal del que ni Skynet sabía cómo salir. En esta nueva entrega de La Guarida del Sith nos enfrentamos a dos de las secuelas más polémicas de toda la franquicia: Terminator Genisys y Terminator: Dark Fate. Dos películas que intentaron reiniciar, continuar y reescribir la saga creada por James Cameron... con resultados que siguen dividiendo a los aficionados. Analizamos qué pretendía hacer cada una de ellas, qué ideas funcionaban, cuáles descarrilaron por el camino y por qué Terminator parece condenado a reiniciar su propia línea temporal cada pocos años. Hablamos del regreso de Arnold Schwarzenegger, de la vuelta de Linda Hamilton en Destino Oscuro, de los nuevos personajes, de la acción, de los efectos visuales y de las decisiones narrativas que más debate han generado entre los seguidores de la saga. Pero este programa guarda una sorpresa muy especial. En la parte central tenemos el enorme privilegio de entrevistar a Carolina Jiménez, una de las grandes profesionales españolas de los efectos visuales en Hollywood, que trabajó en Terminator: Destino Oscuro tanto en la creación de efectos digitales como apareciendo delante de las cámaras. Con ella hablamos sobre el proceso de producción de la película, cómo se construyen algunos de sus espectaculares efectos visuales, cómo es trabajar en una superproducción de este calibre y compartimos multitud de anécdotas desde dentro de la industria. Una conversación imprescindible para cualquier amante del cine y de los efectos especiales. Junto a Frikilandias, Miguel Ángel y Asier Huarte, repasamos dos películas que intentaron mantener viva una de las franquicias más importantes de la ciencia ficción mientras debatimos sobre una pregunta inevitable: ¿Necesitaba Terminator continuar... o la historia ya había encontrado su final perfecto en Terminator 2? Un programa lleno de nostalgia, análisis, humor, viajes temporales, T-800, Rev-9, líneas temporales imposibles y una entrevista exclusiva que nos permite conocer cómo se vive el cine desde el otro lado de la pantalla. Porque el futuro nunca está escrito... ...pero las paradojas temporales de Terminator parecen inevitables. Escucha el resto de programas de la saga aquí https://go.ivoox.com/bk/11166859
Any time Trump or one of his supporters brings up the 2020 election, insisting he didn't lose it, we hear the usual chorus of groans: why can't he get over it? He lost. Move on. The thing is, I can't get over it either. 2020 was the year everything changed. My entire world was turned upside down because I could see, for the first time, that I was in a bubble, a feedback loop that had shaped my perception of reality. It's just that it wasn't actual reality. It was a curated, hysteria-inducing delusion. It wasn't just me. Go on YouTube, and you'll find hundreds, if not thousands, of people whose lives were fundamentally transformed that year in one way or another. COVID made them quit their job and move into a van. COVID made them decide to divorce. COVID made them learn how to bake sourdough. And a lot of us were red-pilled. It was as though someone pressed the pause button and all of us froze in place for a time. Like in the movie Weapons where the kids suddenly wake up one day…Isolated and shut in, we all turned to social media and the internet, which meant more people were connected than ever before at a time when there were more people alive than ever before. We've never really fully processed what happened to all of us that year.It was the year we stopped trusting the science, the schools, Hollywood, the legacy media, and the government. Children were locked down and staring at their screens, with many of the lost boys finding their way into the dark corners of the internet and would emerge years later fumbling their way toward a rifle and a rooftop.That isn't all of it, or even half of it. None of us would emerge from that year unscathed. We can't talk about it as a country or a people because we are still so divided. The big things divide us, like the vaccine, the masks, the lockdowns, and most especially, the 2020 election.We were stepping into something we did not understand and weren't prepared for. Things have changed enough now that it will be hard to remember just how bad things got after Trump won in 2016. I remember because I was on the inside. I lived it with the Democrats and what would become a Doomsday Cult.We called ourselves “the resistance” even though we had all of the power. Trump and MAGA, they were the real resistance, or at least the revolutionaries going up against the most powerful machine in American history, maybe ever.All I knew was that I had to fight for my side. I woke up every day like a good soldier for the cause and went to battle online, wasting precious time with my daughter, or doing anything else except sitting and staring at a screen and fighting with people I didn't even know over issues that didn't matter with arguments that had no end and went nowhere.Inside the Doomsday Cult, we were awash with mass hysteria because every single day, every time Trump tweeted, the legacy media sent out more waves of hysteria that pulsed through the hive mind and kept reinfecting anyone who scrolled Twitter or Facebook. It was a new emergency every day. We were stuck in an unending state of trauma.The legacy media desperately wants to forget what happened, how they lied and gaslit the public. The consequences for these moral crimes have been minimal. A slap on the wrist for ignoring Joe Biden's cognitive decline, but there has never been a reckoning for what they did to all of us, people who trusted them, in 2020.What Happened to MeMy daughter had to leave her senior year at college to have her graduation on my balcony, but we did it because we were doing our part to help save the country during this once-in-a-generation pandemic.Mobilizing for the cause meant sewing our own masks, displaying them proudly on Instagram. It meant mixing our own hand sanitizer because it was all out at the drug store. Some people were wearing face shields. We were living in fear. We were cowed into silence. Half the country fell into Mass Formation Psychosis. We weren't allowed to attend weddings, churches, or schools, but somehow on Memorial Day, the George Floyd protests became the most important thing in America for months.Systemic racism, they told us, was more urgent than COVID. Really? Bringing the whole country — the whole world — to its knees was less serious than George Floyd dying at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis? Yes. That's what they were telling us, and everyone was mandated to go along with everything that came next.These were our idols, we were told. It was the new state religion, even if Trump was still the president. This is the ideology we're allowed to gather for. This is worth tear ing down statues, burning buildings, carving out “autonomous zones” and demanding everyone put a black square on Instagram, capitalize the word Black and raise their fists to Black Lives Matter. The madness unfolding on the streets meant Democrats could actually lose in November, I believed. So why wasn't anyone trying to stop them? Why were the Democrats encouraging them? I started wondering what the hell was going on. It felt like unseen hands were manipulating events behind the scenes, and we were all expected to just go along with it.As I began to speak out and ask questions, I was turned into an enemy. “You've changed,” wrote Neera Tanden on Twitter. She was right. I had. By the time Twitter pressured the New York Times to back off their Tom Cotton essay, Send in the Troops, I was done. Maybe I was naive. I didn't understand the assignment. I'd seen too many Frank Capra movies. I'd begun to believe politics was like an Aaron Sorkin screenplay. I thought we were the good guys. We are the side with ethics and decency and fairness.I was like Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 when Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up, and she thinks he's a bad guy, but when he says, “Come with me if you want to live, she realizes that everything is backward. The people she thought were the good guys weren't. The guy she thought was there to kill her was actually there to save her. By the end of 2020, I was as black-pilled as Jack Nicholson in Chinatown, disillusioned and wide awake. Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.But what I saw them do - how we were all manipulated, how they rigged the election to be too big to fail - I could see for the first time that my side had too much power. So much power that American democracy was now beside the point.It didn't matter how the people voted, because we would decide who was allowed to win and who would become an existential threat to the world we were building, the utopia we were building online.When I left the party, I knew I couldn't be fully honest about what I believed happened, though I did say that the election had been rigged. I also couldn't be honest about what I knew about January 6th, at least not in the beginning. When I saw the riot break out, my first thought was, that's not MAGA. They don't do that.And anyway, even if they did, why couldn't the Democrats chalk it up to months of lockdowns and highly enraged, radicalized people on the Right just as there were on the Left that Summer. Why couldn't they? Because it was all still part of the long con, the mass delusion. These ideas were dangerous to hold for anyone in America but especially someone of the Left, and yet, I could not stop it. The truth began knocking. I ignored it as long as I could, but eventually, the knocking became a banging, and I had no choice but to open the door.How to Rig An ElectionOnce you start tugging on the question of why Twitter and Facebook censored the Hunter Biden laptop, you begin to unravel the bigger picture of just how deep the conspiracy went. But you don't need the whole story. You just need to know this: The FBI and the CIA worked against the sitting president to lie to the public that the laptop was “Russian Disinformation.” It was just a standard run-of-the-mill October surprise, timed to help ignite a scandal before the election. But it was also information the public had a right to know, as we would find out later. So anyone who shames Trump for calling the election rigged and denying it was legit will have to answer for this. But if you keep pulling on that string, you'll find the why of it. They were trying to fix all of the problems they believed caused Hillary Clinton's loss. This would be payback for the email scandal that hit her campaign, which she called “Russian Disinformation.” That would also turn out to be untrue.But there were other problems that needed correcting, like lazy voters who assumed Hillary would win because she was so far ahead in the polls and didn't bother turning out. They would fix this problem using COVID as the pretext to change everything about how people vote and how those votes are collected.They knew they had Pennsylvania won long before Election Day and it would only be a matter of convincing the public not to get too excited about a “red mirage.” To all of them, that's the right way to win an election.Trump won Iowa, Ohio and Florida, not to mention the bellwether counties that have decided our elections. The only other time anything like this happened was in 1960, when JFK won in a squeaker. Compare that to 2020, and you can see that something was very off about the numbers. Since the Democrats believed Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook had handed Trump the win in 2016 by using their marketing machine (the Clinton campaign refused their help), it was time for Zuckerberg to undo that damage, which came in the form of a $400 million slush fund used to “fortify” the election but mostly in the heavily blue districts. Had all of this been shared with the whole country as a way to improve our elections overall, that would have been one thing. But it was all done behind the scenes, in the shadows, far from the reach of anyone who might dissent. It was anything but ethical and anything but fair.It was all part of a grand scheme to stay one step ahead of Trump. If they already knew he would claim it was rigged, why not just rig it? Who would the people believe? Trump or the “bipartisan cabal” of unelected bureaucrats hiding in the shadows?The truth is that Trump was pulling ahead because the Left was losing its mind, and Trump picked up on it. He changed his campaign; no matter how many ways they tried to keep him from his rallies, he got the word out anyway. That would explain why he won those key states but lost so much in the popular vote. Our elections should not be decided months before Election Day. Candidates should have to make their case to the people, not hide in the basement and let the system do the work. It's the candidate's job to inspire the voters to vote for the kind of government they want, and it's the voters responsibility to be motivated enough to turn out to the polls and cast their vote. But with an easily manipulated hive mind like the Democrats had cultivated for ten years they didn't need any of it.The Year That Broke AmericaI've never been able to convince anyone of what I believed happened in 2020. If you were on the Left, chances are, you wouldn't be able to see it either. You would have trusted the same people I used to trust: CNN, New York Times, MSNBC, your social media feed.You would have come out of that year thinking Joe Biden won the 2020 election fair and square and that Donald Trump refused to lose, so he led a dangerous assault on the Capitol, putting our democracy under threat. Yet, after everything they did to Trump that year and for the four years prior, what else could he have done except protest? It was just a little too convenient that there happened to be a riot at the same time, a Reichstag Fire that handed absolute power to Team Blue.If you were still trapped inside the Doomsday Cult, you'd have been primed and ready to go to war on your fellow Americans because Vice President Kamala Harris would tell you January 6th was like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. You would have thought Liz Cheney and the Prime Time Show Trial was legit. What an easy mark you'd be.If you never escaped, as I did, you'd still be trapped inside the Doomsday Cult and never have any idea that none of this is your fault. You were put into a kind of trance in 2020, even before, like the kids in the movie Weapons, frozen in place and used as an army to do the bidding of the Democratic Party.They made you believe, like they made me believe, that every day really was the end of the world as long as Donald Trump was in power. But it was never true, none of it. All the Democrats ever had to do was offer the people something better. If everything Molly Ball wrote about the election the “Secret Bi-Partisan Cabal” supposedly saved, how did Trump win again? In Weapons, the children are put under a spell and aimed at the enemies of the witch. Once the spell is broken, the children wake up and realize the person they should be mad at isn't the one she made them attack, but instead the witch herself for robbing them of their ability to think for themselves. And so it goes with the Democrats.// This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe
Ep. 40 - Commando & CobraThis week, we step onto the front lines of the legendary Stallone vs. Schwarzenegger arms race with Mark L. Lester's Commando (1985) and George P. Cosmatos's Cobra (1986). The mid-1980s saw two mega-stars constantly trying to out-gun, out-muscle, and out-body-count each other, giving birth to a wildly specific archetype: the benevolent rogue. We trace how Reagan-era anxieties funneled straight into stories about one-man armies stepping up because the justice system lacks the nerve to finish the job. It is a double feature about complete disregard for institutional authority, ridiculous firepower, and total narrative escalation. Whether John Matrix is delivering ice-cold one-liners while ripping apart an island army or Marion Cobretti is single-handedly taking down a fascist killer cult, both films prove that in 80s action cinema, subtlety was left at the door.

They delve into the various films that showcase Schwarzenegger's versatility as an actor in the sci-fi genre, exploring titles such as Total Recall, where he navigates a mind-bending narrative filled with twists and turns, and Predator, which combines action and extraterrestrial suspense in a gripping storyline. The conversation not only highlights the unique aspects of these films but also reflects on how Schwarzenegger's performances have left a lasting impact on the genre and influenced countless filmmakers and actors in the years that followed.Following this engaging segment, the guys transition into a thorough and insightful deep dive into the beloved Evil Dead franchise. With the highly anticipated release of Evil Dead Burn hitting theaters soon, they take this opportunity to explore the origins of the franchise, starting from Sam Raimi's original cult classic, which introduced audiences to the terrifying yet darkly comedic world of the Necronomicon and its consequences. They discuss the evolution of the series, including the iconic character of Ash Williams, portrayed by Bruce Campbell, and how the franchise has expanded over the years through sequels, remakes, and spin-offs, each bringing its own unique flavor to the horror landscape. The guys also touch on the innovative filmmaking techniques that have become synonymous with the series, such as the creative use of practical effects and the distinctive camera work that adds to the overall atmosphere of dread and humor.As the episode progresses, Cody shares his excitement with Joe about starting a new LitRPG book series titled He Who Fights with Monsters. He delves into the premise of the series, which blends elements of fantasy, gaming, and adventure, creating a rich narrative that immerses readers in a world where characters level up, face formidable challenges, and navigate complex virtual landscapes. Cody discusses the appeal of LitRPG as a genre, highlighting how it allows readers to experience the thrill of gaming through storytelling, complete with character development and intricate world-building.

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel heads from the jungle to the scorching streets of Los Angeles for Predator 2—the ambitious sequel that dared to expand the Predator universe instead of simply repeating the original.While it lived in the shadow of Schwarzenegger's classic for years, Predator 2 has grown into one of the franchise's most beloved entries, packed with incredible world-building, memorable action, and some of the best Predator mythology in the series.We dig into everything, including:

Growing up, para powerlifter, Hani Watson's passion for lifting had been ignited by her dad and the pack of Arnold Schwarzenegger-types in their string singlets who would accompany him to lift weights. The gym has seen Hani through agonising moments in life, and all the way to the Paralympic Games. Warning: discussion of sexual assault.Throughout her childhood she was having operation after painful operation, to try to straighten her bowed legs.After each surgery, the metal pins and screws would wreak havoc in Hani's legs, and they resumed growing in the same way they always had.In high school, ruptures at home meant Hani had to move out and support herself, and she lost touch with her mum. During this distressing time, a kindly school principal gave Hani the keys to the school gym, and that place became an anchor once more.After another unsuccessful surgery in her 30s, Hani was enjoying the freedom of a wheelchair, compared to the agonising and exhausting effort of walking.She turned to powerlifting to recover, which led her to worldwide competitions, eventually earning a bronze medal at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022. Hani also competed at the 2024 Paris Paralympics.Further informationIf you need support, you can chat online with someone at Lifeline, or call on 13 11 14.Hani won a bronze medal for Australia in Glasgow at this year's Commonwealth Games!

This week we take a look at a time of bulging biceps, thunderous thighs, and gigantic glutes. We pitch Schwarzenegger against Stallone and ask who provided the most burl for your buck? Who served up the best bicep curl and bulging vein? Who filled the cinema screen with so much man-muscle that not even Cinemascope could cope with it? We look at the films released from 1981 to 1989 from both hunks and dare to answer the question: who was the burliest of them all?

On Episode 154 of the Film '89 Podcast, Steve and Skye are joined by returning co-host, Becky D'Anna. A veteran of Hollywood movie marketing and a seasoned podcaster, Becky now has her very own podcast, the brilliant Hanging with Becky Podcast. The topic of this episode is a film that's not only one of the Film '89 team's all-time favourites, it's also become the most requested film for the team to cover, but moreover, it's Becky's all-time favourite film; from 1991, director James Cameron re-teams with superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger; it is of course, Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Also starring Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick and Edward Furlong, T2 was not only the most expensive film ever made upon its release in July 1991, but it would go on to be a critical and commercial smash hit and the highest-grossing film that year. But more than that, it was a film so groundbreaking in its use of cutting-edge special effects technology that it would forever change the face of cinema. More than just an action-science-fiction blockbuster, T2 is a superbly written and impeccably directed film, and easily one of the greatest movies ever made and more than worthy of the usual in-depth Film '89 treatment.

We continue #SciFiJuly: An Infinity of Titles with a giant interview with director and visual effects supervisor Ernest Farino! From an early age, Ernest was fascinated by special effects and his love for filmmaking would take him from creating the stop-motion creature in 1978's THE ALIEN FACTOR to Los Angeles and working for Roger Corman at the Venice Lumberyard studio on films like GALAXY OF TERROR and beyond! There, he would meet James Cameron and would work on films like THE TERMINATOR and THE ABYSS! We walk through Ernest's career, which included working on John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and THE THING as well as doing effects and main title sequences for a variety of New World Pictures films from the Corman era to the next ownership group!We discuss the difficulty of bats in SATURDAY THE 14TH and Sybil Danning's costume in the TV edit of BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, the tricky ending of DEATHSTALKER, having lots of time and no time to work on the title sequences for GODZILLA 1985 and PRETTY SMART, and how Ernest's work on TAG: THE ASSASSINATION GAME may have played a key role in casting for THE TERMINATOR! Also, Ernest explains how he dealt with Arnold Schwarzenegger's biggest, erm, muscle, and how he was able to get away with saying "no" to James Cameron! Ernest provided us with tons of stories, including about his directorial feature debut, STEEL AND LACE, which NWPPVIPs know is a film we love! Don't miss this wide-ranging and fascinating trip through Ernest's huge career that's filled with behind-the-scenes stories that you won't want to miss!For more about the New World Pictures Podcast, including previous episodes, t-shirts, mugs, sweatshirts, other merch and more, we DARE YOU to head here: https://newworldpicturespodcast.com/For all the shows in Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network, head here: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/
A mega-successful Hollywood producer. A popular star ready for his first big lead role. A respected actor one year away from an iconic sitcom role. A singer turned actor enjoying the height of her sex symbol status. Another actress just a few years away from becoming one of the industry's all-time biggest sex symbols. And explosions. Lots and lots of explosions. Put them all together, and you got a stew going, baby! This year's "Summer Surprise," in which we let an online randomizer pick our movies for us, kicks off with Action Jackson, an 80s blaxploitation riff from mega action producer Joel Silver, and starring the late, great Carl Weathers. The film was meant to finally catapult Weathers into the same above-the-title megastar status as his famed co-stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Silver brought along a bunch of cast and crew from his other recent efforts to help make it happen. So, what happened? Why are there multiple Lethal Weapon's, Die Hard's, and Predator's, but only one Action Jackson? We try to figure it out, while jumping out of the way of the sports car barreling down our hallway. Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd
Month of Action continues! Charlie is joined by John from A Cut Above Horror Review this week with an "underrated" Arnold movie. Eraser is basically 1996's answer to “what if Arnold Schwarzenegger was HR for witnesses?” He plays John Kruger, a U.S. Marshal who fakes your death, scrubs your identity, and probably has a bit too much fun with picking out your new identity. The plot kicks in when he protects Vanessa Williams from corrupt government goons selling super-guns that can see through walls. Yes, the bad guys invented X-ray rifles and thought, “This won't backfire at all.” Cue Arnold defying physics with an electromagnetic railgun the size of a small Honda, delivering one-liners like he's getting paid per pun. It's loud, it's dumb in the best way, and it's peak Arnold: explosions first, logic later, paperwork never. If you miss when action movies solved problems with shoulder-mounted hardware and a smirk, Eraser still holds up. Just don't ask how that railgun ammo works....or why Alligators were needed.

Send us Fan MailYour best vacation might be the one that never happened and that's exactly why Total Recall (1990) still hits. We sit down to relive Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi action classic and pull apart the thing that makes it so rewatchable: it's loud, violent, funny, and weirdly smart about how easy it is to sell someone a story about themselves.We talk through the movie's real backbone, the Philip K. Dick “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” idea, where memory implants and manufactured identity blur the line between escapism and control. Along the way, we dig into why Arnold Schwarzenegger is such a perfect fit for this specific kind of heightened reality, why the remake's serious tone feels off, and how Verhoeven's campy satire shows up in everything from background ads to the movie's blunt approach to power and propaganda.Then we get practical: the pre-CGI craftsmanship, miniature sets, prosthetics, and the kind of effects work that makes Mars feel grimy and physical. We also share production trivia, talk stunts and on-set injuries, and admit the truth every fan learns sooner or later: you don't watch Total Recall for clean storytelling, you watch it for bold choices, iconic set pieces, and the lingering question of whether Quaid ever leaves the chair.If you had to choose, would you take the comfortable memory or the uncertain truth?

Terminator 2: Judgment Day isn't just one of the greatest action movies ever made—it's one of the greatest sequels ever made. Instead of simply repeating the formula from the first film, it flips the entire story on its head by turning the original villain into the hero. That single decision completely changes the dynamic of the movie while raising the stakes, and it's a big reason why the sequel feels fresh rather than familiar. It's also another reminder that James Cameron has a knack for making movies that continue to hold up decades later, thanks to strong storytelling, memorable characters, and groundbreaking effects.The Terminator franchise works because of more than just Arnold Schwarzenegger. As iconic as Arnold is, Linda Hamilton is every bit as essential to the series. Her transformation from the vulnerable Sarah Connor in the first film to the hardened warrior in T2 is one of the best character evolutions in action movie history. Together, Arnold and Linda create the heart of the franchise, and it wouldn't have become the classic series we know without both of them.Stick around for a round of Movie 20 Questions at the end of the episode!Safe travels, nomads
