It's finally here, the first annual Arnold Schwarzenegger Battle Royale! Marvel as all 44 previous Arnold Schwarzenegger characters are sorted into categories and forced to fight to the death in a tournament scenario. Can Mr. Freeze overcome Handsome Stranger? Will the T-800 Terminator defeat the T-850 one? And who exactly is Bar Patron? Joined by Ry, creator of the Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents and Sven Watch themes, Rob and Jemry oversee the grand Arnold Schwarzenegger Battle Royale, and come to a surprising result.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents

45 - Schwarzenegger Battle Royale

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. Recorded in late 2019 in a lead up to the Arnold Schwarzenegger Battle Royale, this episode features book smarts, stunt doubles and murder victims, along with an aging robot that's learned how to feel. *I'm not entirely sure when Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask releases.

44 - Terminator: Dark Fate

Joined by Avery Hutley, the podcast watches the Scoot McNairy film Aftermath and then, in the Aftermath of that traumatic event, discusses cinema sound calibration, air traffic control protocol, and the merits of military training from a long, long time ago. Oh, and the film itself.

43 - Aftermath

Randy Adeva returns to the podcast for a record third time to discuss the extended SNL sketch that is Taran Killam's Killing Gunther. As with most other episodes of the podcast, Arnold Schwarzenegger makes an appearance in the film we're discussing, and is arguably the best part. Our fight to the death this week finally enters the MCU™, as The Hulk™ takes on a brain surgeon, an ice skater and a dancing clown who may or may not be named Chubbs™.

42 - Killing Gunther

Joined by Katherine Allan of Well, Actually, the podcast reviews Maggie, the dramatic turn by Arnold Schwarzenegger that mostly features him standing around and brooding.

41 - Maggie

Erin Michelle joins the podcast this week for Terminator Genisys, a film that doesn't ever give an explanation its portmanteau title, or any of its plot, really. Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke and Jason Clarke all hide their natural accents and join Arnold Schwarzenegger to portray less iconic versions of characters you've seen in better terminator films. You can check out both Erin and Jemry in Pretty Good Lineup, 6th – 19th of April at the 2020 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, details available here.

40 - Terminator Genisys

Matthew Vasquez joins the podcast this week for David Ayer's Sabotage, an Arnold Schwarzenegger film featuring a surprising lack of sabotage. Maybe they should have gone with a more descriptive title, like Subterfuge, or Underwhelming. In other parts of the podcast, a father, a president and a music teacher walk into a sewer. No, it's not a joke, it's an introduction to our recurring fight to the death segment.

39 - Sabotage

Joined by Jordan Barr, the podcast takes another journey with a team called The Expendables that consider themselves anything but. Can the presence of Wesley Snipes and Kelsey Grammar take this movie to heights hitherto unreached by the previous films? The short answer is no.

38 - The Expendables 3

Joined by Maddy Weeks, the podcast goes down to the bottom floor of a top secret boat jail in search of someone named Mannheim, but only finds the subject of our very special podcast, Arnold Schwarzenegger. We also watch and discuss Escape Plan, for those playing at home. Elsewhere, in fight to the death news, snowmen fight dragons, demons fight superheroes, and someone bravely sacrifices themselves for no real reason. It's all happening on this boat, folks!

37 - Escape Plan

Joined by Angus Gordon, this Arnold Schwarzenegger podcast watches The Last Stand, in which FBI agent Forest Whitaker chases an international drug lord in a race to the Mexican border. If you're confused as to how this premise relates to an Arnold Schwarzenegger/Johnny Knoxville small town action-comedy, join the damn club.

36 - The Last Stand

Joined by Josh Webb and Matthew Hespe, it's an even bigger and more coherently edited team up than last week, as the podcast explores The Expendables 2. In this one, Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes self-aware, sees humanity as a threat to his existence, and decides to trigger a deadly nuclear strike. We also find out the answer to the question everyone is asking: What can Abraham Lincoln, two bears and a guy with a bow and arrow do against a bunch of bickering action stars? Also, why is Chuck Norris' musical motif in this movie from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and not from Walker, Texas Ranger?

35 - The Expendables 2

It's the team-up of the century this week on Arnold Schwarzenegger Presents, A Nugget Loads Podcast, as Tias Allard joins us to cover The Expendables. It's a film so chock full of action stars it doesn't have any time for things like a credible plot or coherent editing, but hey, they got Arnold for a few minutes, so we're going to cover it. Things also heat up in the life, death and tattoo arena, with a super villain, an evil ex, and some bio-digital jazz, man. Be sure to check out the best Arnold Schwarzenegger focused podcast around, and also this one if you have time. Love you all.

34 - The Expendables

Joined by Dave Hynes, the podcast covers the Terminator film with the least of our favourite Arnold, Terminator Salvation, and somewhat appropriately, stays the least on topic of any of our Arnold Schwarzenegger podcasts. Featuring a monkey thought translator, a man with many clones, and a whole bunch of top quality improvements, this podcast finally answers the question everyone is asking: is Joel Edgerton in the Terminator movies? The answer may surprise you.

33 - Terminator Salvation

Starved for Arnold Schwarzenegger content in the dark governor years of 2003-2011, the podcast takes a glimpse into the fictional life of Tom Arnold analogue Bill Williams in the movie The Kid and I.  Joined by Bella Green and Cat Finch, the podcast explores Twins remakes, ghost characters, and a 9-person battle royale involving Hard Candy's Ellen Page, and, no judgement, Allegra from the movie Hitch.

32 - The Kid and I

Tess Bentley joins the podcast this week, as we watch Around the World in 80 Days, and discuss statues of the kaiju Rodan, muppets, and just what Mark Addy will do when he's guaranteed a physician that can replace his nipples. Also, our episodic fight to the death features love/life himself, a vampire hunter, and the voice of Tom Kenny, along with our usual buttery Arnold Schwarzenegger goodness.

31 - Around the World in 80 Days

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”.
