Terminator Salvation

If I only had a heart!

Today, the Now Playing Podcast Terminator Retrospective Series concludes (for now) with Terminator Salvation. With a new director, a new leading man, and the story shifting fully into the post-apocalyptic future war, this installment attempts to reinvent the franchise by showing the world audiences had only glimpsed before. Featuring Christian Bale as John Connor and a conflicted new Terminator model at the center of the story, Salvation trades time travel for battlefield grit. Does this bold change in direction breathe new life into the saga, or does it prove the series has finally run out of power? The hosts render their final verdict on whether this chapter redeems the franchise or brings it to an abrupt shutdown.
