Kull the Conquerer (1997)

An [sic] barbarian warrior becomes a king when he defeats a king in armed combat and the king’s heir conspire to overthrow him and reclaim the throne by resurrecting an evil sorceress. (IMDB)

Kevin Sorbo and Tia Carrere star in this sword and sandal throwback from the late 90s. Pete suggested we do this one, so he brought his (and our) friend Ron into the conversation to start us off talking about it. Looks like we had a variety of things to say about it. Some good, some bad. You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out!

Excalibur (1981)

Merlin the magician helps Arthur Pendragon unite the Britons around the round table of Camelot even as forces conspire to tear it apart (IMDB)

John Boorman’s alleged classic gets torn out of the stone we found it in. The long-awaited deep examination of the legend of King Arthur made cinema fare, Excalibur!

This movie stands pretty significantly in fantasy movie history, but does it stand the test of time? Will it be a unanimous success? Will we EVER find a movie to do from the 90s? These questions and more get answered in the next episode of DRAGONREEL!

Star Wars – Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)

Three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new threat arises. The First Order attempts to rule the galaxy and only a ragtag group of heroes can stop them, along with the help of the Resistance. (IMDB)

Mike Shea of SlyFlourish.com joins us to talk about our freshest movie ever. We waited 30 years for this baby to come out, we couldn’t wait another day to talk about it!

We talk about how this movie fits into the canon of Star Wars, what we expected,  how we were pleased or disappointed, and what we expect from the next few installments in the franchise. We tear into this to find the best and worst of the great science-fantasy universe that we grew up with.

Willow (1988)

A reluctant dwarf must play a critical role in protecting a special baby from an evil queen. (IMDB)

Joining us from the Slice of SciFi podcast (and many many more), we have Summer Brooks on to talk about Willow. Funny thing about Willow. I dug around the internet to find a DVD copy to watch so we could do this one. For some reason, there’s a DVD and a Blu-Ray that are both ludicrously expensive.

This episode delves into what went right and what went wrong with Willow. We all had a lot to say on this one. We ran a little long, but this conversation is worth hearing. Summer gave us quite a bit to think about on this one.
