Name: The Arms Race Has Begun! by Bad Puns Podcast
Duration: 1 min 46 s
Description: Join us on our brand new podcast, The Arms Race, where we attempt to determine which action star has the highest body count in movie history -- starting with Sylvester Stallone! New episodes available now!

In this episode, we prepared for Judgment Day by watching all of the Terminator movies (1984-2015/forever). How did the franchise end up with some of the most iconic imagery of nuclear weapon use? Should we be worried about artificial intelligence taking over our nuclear command and control systems? Why does Skynet seem to put out more models of terminator than Apple does iPhones? Tim, Joel, and special guest Alex answer these questions and more.

Before we say “hasta la vista… baby,” we recommend reading: 
-Jerome Shapiro, Atomic Bomb Cinema, 2001
-Bruce Blair, Strategic Command and Control, 1985 and The Logic of Accidental Nuclear War, 1993
-Joe McGovern, “‘The Terminator’ at 30: An Oral History,” Entertainment Weekly, July 17, 2014

Special thanks to Alicia Dressman (@thedelphivision) for suggesting the episode hook with the quote by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin.

We aim to have at least one new episode every month.
