Hawes recounts his first date at Terminator 2, while they dissect the film's iconic trailer moments.

The episode begins with hosts Hawes and Steele explaining their release pattern where every third episode is free on public feeds. They immediately tangent into discussing Lost theories and UFO references before circling back to their Star Wars history podcast format. The hosts share a humorous anecdote about technical difficulties during setup where Hawes was distracted by StockX ads. This leads to an extended discussion about Supreme streetwear culture, including Thursday drop rituals and YouTube live-cop videos. They describe how Supreme's relocation from Fairfax Avenue in LA decimated the surrounding streetwear retail strip. The conversation shifts to collectibles, with Steele showing his Evangelion Bearbrick and comparing Funko Pops to Beanie Babies. They debate Funko's longevity versus licensing advantages. The hosts then transition to discussing 1991 pop culture entries from their book, starting with Terminator 2: Judgment Day. They analyze the film's trailer, share personal first-date stories involving the movie, and discuss the oddity of R-rated movie toys in the early 90s. Hawes reveals his first date was to see Terminator 2, while Steele's was to The Truman Show. They examine Terminator 2's cultural impact and trailer construction. The episode continues with coverage of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System launch, comparing international design variations and discussing its significance for Japanese RPGs. Throughout, the hosts maintain a conversational, tangent-prone style while occasionally referencing their Star Wars history project.
