Conan the Barbarian: Summer of '82


Listen Later

This week Paul, Javi, and - indubitably - Producer Brad contemplate Conan the Barbarian, John Milius’ sweeping, serpent-filled, and surprisingly soup-laden adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s legendary pulp hero, brought to laconic life by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role that made him an icon. Crom commands you to heed this episode as we chronicle Arnold’s epic quest to deliver a monologue that measures up to those of his magnificently mellifluous co-stars James Earl Jones, Max Von Sydow and Mako! And did we mention the soup? 

(And yes, astute listeners, we realize we’re breaking continuity by reaching back to a movie that opened on May 14, 1982, but you can trust us as much as steel that this journey into high adventure is infinitely preferable to the wheel of pain that was The Secret of NIMH!)
