Episodes
This week on the podcast, we cover True Lies, our last James Cameron film before the release of Avatar IV: The Quest for Peace. With some questionable hiring procedures and horse-elevator etiquette, Arnold Schwarzenegger rides real fast past a guy on a saxophone, and oh boy, is he surprised? Yes. Randy Adeva joins Jemry and a characteristically quiet Rob for some analysis, rankings, and the typical fight to the death scenario between a whole bunch of Jim Carrey characters and a bus.

We're back! Sean Morgan joins Rob and Jemry to watch the Kevin Kline vehicle Dave, the movie that you didn't even realise had Arnold Schwarzenegger in it, and witnesses the long-con Kevin Kline pulls to help his struggling employment agency. There's also a fight between a newscaster, an athlete, a dinosaur and an aquatic mammal, but the only way to find out who won is to like, share and subscribe, or however podcasts work.

Ry joins Rob and Jemry on the podcast as we go beyond the fourth wall, and fight a bobsled, a T-Rex and a homicidal Macaulay Culkin in John McTiernan's silliest film, Last Action Hero. Fish go both in and out of water as Danny Madigan from My Girl 2 uses a magic ticket, handed down from the greatest magicians, and also a lousy projectionist, to visit an Arnold Schwarzenegger character and A Talking Cat!?!

This week on the podcast, there's some time travelling, liquid-metal-body-morphing shenanigans going on, and only our good terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger is fit to deal with the problem. First, however, he has to learn some 90s slang from an American teenager. Cowabunga! Ben Searle joins the podcast to cover Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Terminator 2, fights to the death, and what would be a very strange book club.

The podcast is going back to school, as Schwarzengger re-teams with his old pal Ivan Reitman to bring us Kindergarten Cop. This time, there's jokes along with the premise, and the whole thing goes swimmingly. Emma Holland joins Rob and Jemry to discuss talking ferrets, propeller caps, and the origins of the chalk font. They also happen to discuss Kindergarten Cop, which is lucky, because that's the whole premise of the podcast.

If it was a Total Recall, why was he there at all? The podcast that tells you the how, the why, and the who of Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to Mars to figure out his missing memories, or maybe they're just being lobotomised. It's all up to interpretation. Joined by comedian Luke Leonard, Rob and Jemry explore Arnold Schwarzenegger's best film (fight me!), and have Cher lose at karaoke (it's a long story).

Joined on the podcast by Martin Dunlop, Rob and Jemry review, rank and revise 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. You can catch Martin Dunlop's show Small Tales of Little Mercy at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, April 12 - 21 at The...

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. Filmmaker Nic Barker joins Rob and Jemry this week for a look at one of Arnold's first leading roles in a comedy, Twins.

Stick around, we're putting together a crack team of commandos to record an Arnold Schwarzenegger podcast about Predator. Joined by Dave Campbell, Rob and Jemry will 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, but don't worry, because the alien has anti-mud vision, and can be undone by a little dirt and water.

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. Rob and Jemry are joined on the podcast by Ry of Backyard Boys Gaming. We hope you saved room for this podcast because we're going to ram it into your ear-holes & break your god...

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.

On this podcast, Rob and Jemry watch, discuss and rank Raw Deal, and the Schwarzenegger content contained within. That's the whole premise, you dingus. Try to...

"So, this podcast, it’s from the future, is that right?" "One possible future. From your point of view. Listen, and understand. That 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 Terminator.

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

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.

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.

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.

Jeff Bridges and Sally Field star in this movie but mainly 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 Arnold Schwarzenegger a Golden Globe!

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.

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”.
