FUBAR has an extra special place in our hearts. After having filmed in and around Toronto last Summer, we’ve been waiting anxiously for its debut and finally its release is now before us on Netflix.
Legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his Scripted Television debut in this Series about a father and daughter duo, who have been keeping secrets from one another all along. We meet Luke (Schwarzenegger), a CIA operative who on the surface is a sweet, caring father to his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro). His marriage to her mother had failed but his work may have been responsible for that. Emma also is a CIA operative and keeps this from her father and FUBAR explores their relationship on two levels – one where everthing is seemingly happy-go-lucky, but on a deeper level them discovering eachother’s secrets enables them to face their own family issues head-on. They need to be able to tackle this to be able to be a successful team on a work and personal level.
FUBAR feels true to brand for Schwarzenegger. Think, True Lies, but his biggest opponent here is his own daughter. And above that, she possesses his headstrong manner. Schwarzenegger and Barbaro play off well together in a battle of egos, which makes for fun. Supporting Players like Scott Thompson, Fortune Feimster, Gabriel Luna and Jay Baruchel keep things light and engaging, ensuring the Series stays true to its energetic feel. The Series is comedic and packed with action, style and thrills, giving fans exactly what they’d expect.
All eight episodes of FUBAR arrive on Netflix May 25, 2023.

Austin’s Gabriel Luna is in Toronto working on an upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger TV Series titled “UTAP” (title subject to change) for Netflix. The eight-episode Series (at 60 minutes each) also stars Jay Baruchel, Monica Barbaro, Fortune Feimster and more, with Schwarzenegger not only starring-in but also serving as Executive Producer. The Series centers on a father (Schwarzenegger) and daughter (Barbaro) who both secretly work for the C.I.A., and upon them learning of the other’s involvement with the agency, they have to work together as partners.
Luna, known for his memorable work in Terminator: Dark Fate (starring alongside Schwarzenegger), True Detective and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., stars in the new Series as “Boro,” an incredibly charismatic, Oxford-educated businessman, who’s chosen to apply those skills to a career in the illegal arms trade.
So amazing seeing Luna out and about grabbing dinner in the west-end. Despite playing some badasses on-screen, he is the nicest! So gracious! Have been hoping to run into him forever. Absolutely cannot wait to see this new Series, which happens to be Schwarzenegger‘s debut in a TV Series!

Visual Effects genius and Director Tim Miller is in Toronto to promote his latest effort, TERMINATOR: DARK FATE. The latest installment in the Blockbuster franchise sees original cast members Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reuniting on-screen with James Cameron back as Producer. The Film is a continuation of 1984’s The Terminator and 1991’s Terminator: Judgment Day, the first time Cameron has been involved in the Series since then. Miller, known for helming Deadpool to international success, is slated for a day of Press including various morning show visits early tomorrow.
While the Film suffered its namesake dark fate last night with its L.A. Premiere cancelled due the Getty Fire, Miller was in great spirits, surprising fans at Scotiabank Theatre. He did a quick Question and Answer before its IMAX Screening with Richard Crouse. He then made his way to TIFF Bell Lightbox for an extended Q&A later in the evening.
See our Snap with Miller!
We must say we enjoyed TERMINATOR: DARK FATE more than imagined. It takes Miller’s brilliant visual talents and mashes them up with fan favourites Hamilton and Schwarzenegger in a relentless thrill ride which has everyone giving it their every last ounce of energy. Canada’s Mackenzie Davis rises to the occasion and delivers a fierce performance which won’t soon be forgotten. Terminator: Dark Fate caters to modern sensibilities and brings out several laughs, which work surprisingly well and of course, cheers.
TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is in theatres Friday, November 1, 2019.
