Our First Fears17 - The Terminator with Neil McRobertOn episode 17, WE ARE BACK . . . this time, chatting with writer and horror podcast-rock-star, Neil McRobert about a movie that made him cry when he was just a wee lad - James Cameron’s 1984 science-fiction classic, The Terminator.

But we have fun too! I promise!2023-11-151h 11
