JustWatch is thrilled to spotlight the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro in the new season of Netflix’s action-comedy series FUBAR, which premiered on June 12. The on-screen duo spoke with JustWatch about what makes the show tick, and why FUBAR is a must-watch for fans of ’90s action-comedy nostalgia.

“If you want to have the greatest entertainment, a lot of action, romance, drama, and comedy – all combined into one show – then you HAVE to watch FUBAR.”  — Arnold Schwarzenegger, on Why-To-Watch FUBAR

“FUBAR is a fun action comedy that I feel like a lot of ‘90s kids really missed. I tell people if they like True Lies, they’ll like FUBAR. It’s a blast, it’s really fun! The elevator pitch for me was that I got to play multiple characters, which is an actor’s dream. It’s like a box you open and there’s just more presents inside.”

With a slick mix of high-octane action and tongue-in-cheek humor, FUBAR captures the energy of True Lies while giving it a modern update, anchored by the fiery chemistry between its father-daughter leads.

In a special interview with JustWatch, Arnold also took a guess at which of his classic films are the most popular all-time with JustWatch viewers.

Arnold picks? True Lies, The Terminator, and Kindergarten Cop.
