Conan the Barbarian (1982)

We close out season three (don’t worry, next week we start season four) with Conan the Barbarian! This episode we discuss a sword and sorcery movie from the eighties that was somehow successful. We also talk about how it was the start of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career as an A-lister, why John Milius' oeuvre includes chucking decapitated heads, and whether there’s a string of white supremacy that runs through this (there is). Plus, we answer the riddle of steel, push the wheel of pain, and see our enemies driven before us.
