It’s time for some 2020 hindsight! For this episode, I’m joined by veteran writer/producer Zack Stentz — you know his work from X-Men: First Class, Thor, and the upcoming Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous — for a fond look back at the late, lamented, gone-too-soon TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I had this conversation for the San Francisco Chronicle last fall in the lead-up to the release of Terminator Dark Fate, but I’m glad to have this chance to share the entirety of our chat for the first time!
