The Slave and The Sorcerer: A Love Letter to Sword & Sorcery

Step into a gleaming, outrageous world where swords sing, sorcery smolders, and the joy of cinema is unabashedly pure. In this episode of Cinema Yugen, Kent Hill celebrates Lawrie Brewster’s The Slave and The Sorcerer — a handcrafted valentine to 80s sword-and-sorcery that revels in bravado, practical effects, and larger-than-life performances. From the gloriously eccentric Arlo the Torturer to Megan Tremethick’s Frazetta-wrought sorceress Nemain, the conversation bursts with laughter, reverence, and behind-the-scenes mischief that make this film such a guilty-free pleasure. Listen as cast and crew anecdotes bring the film’s DIY magic to life: wigs chosen by instinct, baby-oiled heroes, rubber clubs, and synth-powered battle anthems that prop up the movie’s pulpy heart. Through stories of inspiration, homage, and stubborn artistic devotion, you’ll feel transported back to a time when films were made with raw love — and you’ll be left desperate for the next outrageous chapter in this burgeoning cult saga.
