As a special feature of The Fanbase Weekly podcast, the Fanbase Feature focuses on and celebrates a specific element of geek culture.
In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Bryant Dillon and special guests Corinna Bechko (writer – The Space Between, Avatar: Adapt or Die), Tilly & Susan Bridges (writers – Monster High, the Star Trek Adventures RPG, Executive Producers of Pendant Productions), and Kraig Rasmussen (graphic novelist – Sojourners, Technopolis) participate in a thorough discussion regarding The Terminator (1984) in light of the film’s 40th anniversary, with topics including how the film has become symbolic for humanity’s fears regarding the dangers of Artificial Intelligence, why audiences connect so strongly with the characters of Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese, why the sex scene is so narratively important in this film, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for The Terminator abound in this panel discussion!)
