True Lies (1994) / Recasting Arnold into Classic films
Manage episode 522440766 series 3566850
True Lies, directed by James Cameron, is the centerpiece of our second episode in the mini James Cameron retrospective. We dive deep into this wild 1994 action-comedy that takes the double life trope and cranks it up to eleven. Arnold Schwarzenegger shines as a secret agent whose domestic troubles become hilariously intertwined with his high-stakes espionage life. Spoiler alert: there are terrorists, a nuclear threat, and a whole lot of explosive action. We also get into our Recommendation Shelf segment, exploring films that feature characters living double lives, and then we crank up the fun with a bonkers game where we recast classic films with none other than the Governator himself. Buckle up, it’s gonna be a ride!
