Come with me if you want to live. In today’s TWiG conversation we are talking with Empire magazine’s executive editor Ian Nathan about his new book “Terminator vault:The Complete Story Behind the Making of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day”. Birdman gets to talk all things Terminator from meetings with James Cameron to talking about all the merch generated by the franchise and so much more. Ian Nathan’s passion for the project is absolutely infectious and by the end you’ll be looking to get your own copy of Terminator vault:The Complete Story Behind the Making of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Get ready to get into the time displacement field and that terminator is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. Buy the book right here! Follow Empire Magazine on Twitter TWIG would like to thank it’s sponsors for making this show and others possible!

I’ve been running all my lives, through time and space; every second of every minute of every day for over 900 years. I fought for peace in a universe at war.Now the time has come to face the choices I have made in the name of the Doctor. Our future depends on one single moment of one impossible day, the day I’ve been running from all my life. The day of the Doctor. Welcome my fellow Timelords as we get together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who and the new series here on This week in geek. A few years we took a look at this series when it was just coming into Matt Smith’s run and we return again to look back on the series thus far. Doctor Who-mania has gripped the world since 2005 and now many Whovians are out and wearing their pride of the madman with a blue box.
