Retro Blood 200: Fulci’s Conquest (1983) + Ozzy Osbourne & Hulk Hogan Tribute
from Retro Blood · host Retro Blood
It’s our 200th episode, and we’re going big—swords, sorcery, metal, and wrestling legends! 🎉 Join James Kline and J.H. Alison as we dive into the trippy, surreal fantasy-horror world of Lucio Fulci’s Conquest (1983). Expect fried orc-snake LSD magic, a gold-masked witch straight out of your darkest nightmares, and a heavy dose of Fulci weirdness that somehow blends Conan-style adventure with Italian horror grit. In our Weekly History Segment, we pay tribute to two icons we’ve talked about countless times on the show—Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, and Hulk Hogan, the larger-than-life wrestling superstar. We revisit their careers in the 1980s, how they shaped metal and pro wrestling culture, and share our own first memories of each. Then it’s back to Conquest—behind the scenes, Fulci’s feud with producer Giovanni led to walkouts, contract disputes, and a film that bombed in Italy but found love in Mexico. We break down the hallucinogenic cinematography, the eerie score, the brutal fantasy violence, and why Mace’s love for Black Metal makes him one of the strangest “heroes” in Fulci’s filmography. Grab your mace, polish your helmet, and get ready for 200 episodes’ worth of madness, metal, and mayhem. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! follow us on all platforms! 📷 Instagram 📘 Facebook Page 👥 Facebook Group 🎥 YouTube Channel #RetroBloodPodcast #RetroBlood200 #Fulci #LucioFulci #Conquest1983 #ItalianHorror #80sHorror #SwordAndSorcery #FantasyHorror #OzzyOsbourne #PrinceOfDarkness #HulkHogan #80sMetal #ProWrestlingHistory #CultCinema #GrindhouseCinema #FulciWeirdness #MetalAndHorror #HorrorPodcast #BMovieMadness #HallucinogenicCinema
