We time travel to the 80s - at least for a little while - to find waitress Sarah Connor and watch her get drawn into an adventure with the highest stakes: motherhood! Joining me (and asking me for all of my clothes) is Derek from the Walloping Websnappers⁠, ⁠Gimmicks⁠, ⁠Falling with Style⁠, ⁠Skreeonk!⁠, and ⁠Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge⁠ podcasts. We offer nuclear hot tastes (for example, Terminator 3's script wasn't good, and women in the Bible aren't the best written characters) while we talk about a smoking hot mom and her robot companions across the franchise all in service of answering the question: is Sarah Connor our mother?
