Theater IX: True Lies

It's Been Done Before

This week we have a few things to confess. Sadly, we have been lying to you for quite a long time. We are not your run of the mill boring podcasters, we are actually secret agents that have been running around the world stopping the forces of evil with cartoonish levels of violence followed by lots of dry cool wit. We watched the 1994 summer blockbuster, True Lies, and we can’t wait to talk about it. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Austrian god of action movies, and James Cameron team up again in this James Bondesque action comedy and the results are nothing short of magical. It is a fun ride and well worth your time if you have not seen it yet. If only there was an alternate reality in which we got four True Lies movies and zero Avatar movies. What kind of salary is Harry getting from Omega Sector? Has Harry been a spy that gets involved in the types of shootouts that the movie opens with for 17 years and never been injured in a way that would make Helen or Dana question his work life? Is Arnold supposed to be a sex symbol in real life or in the movie? Is Simon the sleaziest used car salesman in cinema history? Why haven’t Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnold teamed up for another buddy film since this one? Thank you for all of the love you continue to show us.
