The Gen X Files 271 - For the Stepdads: Gen-Xtreme

The Gen X Files 275 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day

To close out our Not-So-Terrible-2s month, we're covering what could be a perfect sequel: Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Written and Directed by James Cameron, he brings what he learned on Aliens and blew it up, even bigger. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick, Edward Furlong, Earl Boen, and Joe Morton.

The Gen X Files 274 - Aliens

Is Aliens the greatest sequel ever made? Is it the greatest action movie ever made? Give a listen to us gab about Aliens and the insane production stories about James Cameron and his British crew. You thought it was just a 'line through the added s to Alien to make a dollar sign'? Think again. There is so much more to this story. Starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, and Bill Paxton.

The Gen X Files 273 - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

For our second Not-So-Terrible-2, we have the best turnaround for a sequel that Hollywood has ever seen: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. After the boring failure that was Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Paramount pulled in someone who had never seen Star Trek to direct the film, Nicholas Meyer. Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Bibi Besch, Merritt Butrick, Kirstie Alley, and an incredible performance from Ricardo Montalbán.

The Gen X Files 272 - The Road Warrior

It's time for another Not-So-Terrible-2s! First up is The Road Warrior, as called in America, but known to everyone else in the world as Mad Max 2. It's a roller coaster thrill ride that proves George Miller to be one of the greatest action movie directors to ever live. Starring Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, and Emil Minty (and an awesome Dog).
