Finally, we've come to the smoking hot nuke-from-orbit of time travel that is Terminator: Genisys.

Concluding our look at the (absolutely ridiculous, paradox-ridden time travel disaster that is the) Terminator franchise, we're diving into Terminator: Genisys -- the Terminator movie that completely nukes the entire Terminator timeline and all its rules, then makes up entirely new ones.

If you haven't seen the film, you might be a bit lost, and you will absolutely be spoiled. Listen at your own risk!
