  • True Lies 2: Two Truths and a Lie (with Gabby Zemer)
    Apr 21 2026

    James Cameron’s True Lies is not quite a franchise; and yet it is a remake, with a spinoff, which very nearly had a sequel. This week, the seemingly mild mannered family of Ian, Sam and Spencer is shaken up by Gabby Zemer (producer of the upcoming film Seekers of Infinite Love). We discuss the Arnolds- Tom and Schwarzenegger, respectively, Jamie Lee Curtis pitching the most iconic scene in the film, and indoor horses. Then we embark on a trip down the aisle with evil prosthetics manufactured by Tobin Bell. You’re fired!
