Episode Notes

In this episode, Dave watches The Terminator to get the bad taste of Terminator: Genisys out of his mouth.  Yikes!  Remember when this series was good?  Let's go back in time to 1984!  You see what I did there?  Anyway, a very tired Britt joins us for Fangirl Fixation to find out if the original holds up.  After this, Dave teaches you a bit about humans natural reaction to stress, the fight-or-flight reflex.  And of course, we tie it into the situation of poor Sarah Connor in The Terminator.
