I disagree completely about Arnie being unable to actually act, although a lot of his filmography does not help my case. Having said that, I actually thought Twins was decent and Kindergarten Cop only slightly worse, but at least I definitely understand the arguments against them. Maybe it helps I read Arnie's autobiography before watching both movies and found out how proud he was of them both, plus Roger Ebert recommending both films (and Siskel joining him for Twins while giving only a marginal thumbs-down for Kindergarten Cop). Also both those movies plus Junior shared the same director with the original (two) Ghostbusters (films), so that piqued my interest. Haven't seen Junior though, and not particularly keen on rectifying that TBH. I was amused to see the future director of Ghostbusters: Afterlife as a necking teenager in Kindergarten Cop, because he's the director's son GET IT? The existence of the movies Junior and Juno also means both Ivan and Jason Reitman have directed movies where a male actor gets pregnant. And both the actors in question were in not-so well-received comic book movies, because I'M THE JUGGERNAUT B****.

I thought Arnie was actually kind of delightful in End of Days but I won't argue against your point. Apparently the role WAS written with Tom Cruise in mind, but he was busy with Magnolia. I wanted to suggest both it and Kindergarten Cop since those are the last two Arnie movies I saw but I got beaten to it. Amusingly, I saw End of Days on Disney+ since Disney was always the film's international distributor. I'd say you should definitely see True Lies at some point since it's such a wonderful example of '90s excess, but I guess the movie's not readily available stateside? It's on Disney+ where I live. Maybe you confused it for Basic Instinct because that movie shares the same director with Total Recall, and both those movies had Sharon Stone?

Rank the late Ivan Reitman!
