It’s Roger Corman Week as we check out two sword and sorcery films he produced: DEATHSTALKER (1983) and THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS (1984) starring David Carradine.

We look at two films from 1983 that broke the 80s sword and sorcery mold, Matt Cimber’s HUNDRA, starring Laurene Landon, and the animated FIRE AND ICE from legendary artists Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta.

We’re joined by Ryan from The New World Pictures Podcast for the wild and funny SORCERESS (1982) written & directed by Jack Hill and produced by Roger Corman, as well as the sublime weirdness of Lucio Fulci’s sword and sorcery masterpiece, CONQUEST (1983).

We discuss the man who walks with the animals, talks with the animals … no, not him. It’s THE BEASTMASTER (1982) directed by Don Coscarelli and starring Marc Singer followed up by the insanity of the inimitable Joe D’Amato’s Italian sword and sorcery film ATOR, THE FIGHTING EAGLE (1982).

Join us for the days of high adventure as we ponder the riddle “What is best in life?” The answer is CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Join us as we shower glitter and unicorn horns upon Ridley Scott’s LEGEND (1985) starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry; then we shift gears into our next great adventure: Ron Howard’s WILLOW (1988) story by George Lucas and starring Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, and Joanne Whalley.

We wrap up our Halloween series with three movies that play with the conventions of the slasher film: NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CLASS REUNION (1982), SLAUGHTER HIGH (1986), and Fred Walton’s APRIL FOOL’S DAY (1986).
