#54 - Conan the Barbarian (2011)

Lop off some noggins and battle a pixelated tentacle beast because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are returning to the Hyborian Age one last time to take on director Marcus Nispel's widely dismissed 2011 Conan reboot! Starring a pre-Game of Thrones Jason Momoa as the titular Crom worshipper, this stalled summer blockbuster ultimately failed to restore the Barbarian's marquee name value. But was it unfairly overlooked? And how does it stack up against the rest of the Robert E. Howard sword and sorcery adaptations? Hit download and prepare to feel content.

#52 - The Game Changers (2019)

Drop that hamburger and raid the produce aisle because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are rethinking their lifetime of food choices while taking on the Arnold-produced documentary The Game Changers. Directed by Oscar-winning The Cove filmmaker Louie Psihoyos, this 2019 picture strives to create a persuasive argument that plant-based diets strongly benefit both high-functioning athletes as well as us common folk. But does it succeed in making its case? And how does the movie hold up in comparison to Schwarzenegger's previous doc, Wonders of the Sea 3D? Grab a bag of carrot sticks and find out!

#50 - Arnold's Collaborators, pt.3: Sven-Ole Thorsen

Don a futuristic security guard uniform and chase down the anti-life equation because this week hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are taking on Arnold's most frequent collaborator, the incomparable Mr. Sven-Ole Thorsen.

#49 - End of Days (1999)

Knock back a revolting smoothie and shout at the devil because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are setting the world ablaze with a timely rewatch of Arnold's Y2K-influenced horror actioner End of Days! Directed by journeyman extraordinaire Peter Hyams, this supernatural thriller was plagued with terrible reviews back in the fall of 1999. But has the film aged better than expected? Or does the whole Schwarzenegger vs. Satan concept still come across as dopey? Take a break from headbanging to the movie's nu metal-heavy soundtrack album and tune in!

#48 - Christmas in Connecticut (1992)

Dust off your kitschy ornament collection and start flipping flapjacks because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are getting downright festive with Arnie's sole movie directing effort, Christmas in Connecticut. Originally broadcast on the TNT network, this glossy remake of the 1945 Barbara Stanwyck gem boasts an all-star cast and no shortage of comic potential. But is it a wonderful gift from Santa or a sad lump of coal in the proverbial stocking? And how does Schwarzenegger fare behind the camera? Does this movie serve as a fascinating 'what if?" Reset your turkey timer and tune in for some holiday podcast fun!

#47 - Total Recall (2012)

Hop in an elevator and punch out a Star Wars-y robot because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are plugging back in to the world of Total Recall, this time with the 2012 remake starring Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale. Directed by Underworld mastermind Len Wiseman, this expensive second take on Philip K. Dick's short story proved controversial with film fans at the time of its release, and has seemingly been almost completely forgotten since. But is it worth revisiting? Does Wiseman offer an interesting alternate perspective on the material? And is Farrell an acceptable Arnie substitute? Clear your mind and settle in for another mind-bending podcast headtrip!

#46 - Total Recall (1990)

Hail a robo-cab and embark on your dream vacation because hosts Cam Smith and Tony G are rocketing off to Mars with Paul Verhoeven's 1990 summer blockbuster Total Recall. Loosely adapted from a Philip K. Dick short story, this sci-fi head-tripper was a gamble that paid of hugely for Arnold. But, viewed almost 30 years later, does it warrant lofty inclusion alongside the most prestigious entries in his filmography? Do Verhoeven's weird ideas and over-the-top flights of lunacy still thrill? And does familiarity with this film make The Sixth Day worse? Sit back and get ready for the podcasting ride of your life!

And how do Schwarzenegger and Hamilton fare reprising their iconic badass action hero roles? Jump in the podcast truck and barrel down the chaos-laden highway with the duo and find out!
