Guest host Rick Tetrault joins Beth to tackle the mythical Cimmerian! This is quite a tall order considering how complex and vast a world Conan author Robert E. Howard created. This film was the first installment in what was originally intended to be an entire series of films. The litany of sequels didn’t happen, but it was the film that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career -ultimately becoming one of the most successful box office heroes of all time. In the fantasy genre, it might be easily overlooked due to its humble approach, but it is a visually beautiful film, with a moving score, and earnest and charismatic performances. Cult classic, Guilty Pleasure, or Comfort Film —pack this one away for a rainy weekend afternoon on your sofa. “Conan Lore Guide” https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGmQwKrJ10Zc73bXk0J3_yaWyrPjGW_Cw “Conan Unchained—The Making of Conan the Barbarian” https://youtu.be/jiQ9rUgQcXI
