See You At Da Party, Richtah
Ivan Reitman: He was Canadian? Why are so many people in the entertainment industry Canadian? Anyway, the man made Ghostbusters, so far that alone, he wins a lot of points. What else did he make? Hm... Ghostbusters II, Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Junior... Now I'm wondering how much of Ghostbusters' success was accidental.

LinkMarioSamus: I know a lot of people have a problem with LMS, but I don't. That said, he's not my favorite B8er, either. I'm neutral-to-slightly-positive on LMS.

Red Sonya: Has this ever happened before, someone making a quick ripoff of a famous movie, and then the actor in the movie agrees to be in the ripoff? Like, this has to be breaking some kind of 'audience confusion' law. Anyway, the most interesting thing about this movie is probably the gender element juxtaposed against the magic element. In Conan, which is one of the most masculine movies ever, magic is consistently portrayed as, if not necessarily evil, then extremely dangerous and not to be messed with. Here, there are like orders of magic priestesses who serve mystical deities, and magic is portrayed as a force for good unless corrupted by the evil queen. There's probably something to be read into this about how our culture views gender and mysticism, I do think that at least in the modern day, occultism stuff is more associated with/appeals more to women, so it makes some sense that this movie would have a different take on it than the far blunter Conan... but in the end, even though I described Conan as "epically stupid," this movie is way dumber. It's fun and all, and it does benefit from costarring Arnold in his prime, but it is, at best, still definitely worse than Conan the Destroyer. That's another thing, why did they never make a third Conan movie? Someone must have discussed it. It's probably for the best, no one today could possibly replicate Conan's atmosphere, but I'm still curious.

Lunar's Dad (My Bride is a Mermaid): I had to look this up. So, the joke is that it's anime Arnold in a Japanese schoolgirl uniform, and everything he does in the anime is a reference to the Terminator? I dunno. Maybe this comes across as cleverer in Japan, maybe Arnold isn't as much a part of Japanese pop culture as he is American, so references to him are a little cleverer? Whatever.

Arnold's Future: He has none. I'm sure he'll be in more embarrassing movies, occasionally give an interview, there'll be a Netflix documentary about his life, every so often, someone will complain that he said something politically incorrect, etc. But he's never going to have another big movie that everyone loves again. He's just going to be the man who outlived his own legend. He would have been luckier to die in 1992 or something, and then everyone could be "think of all the amazing Arnold movies we never got to see." Why wasn't he in Expendables 4, by the way? That movie was awful, but I think it's the first one he missed. Did he only just now grow enough dignity to turn down the role?
