This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we look back at Paul M. Sammon's coverage of the making of Conan the Barbarian in the April 1982 issue of Cinefantastique. The double issue has three features by Sammon — a lengthy piece of reportage on the filming and interviews with designer Ron Cobb and director John Milius — and lots of behind-the-scenes photos. It's a charming bit of work that contrasts in surprising ways with Sammon's later coverage of Conan the Destroyer, which we also discuss.
