Conan the Barbarian (1982)




A Cosmic Void show

Summary: <p>We close out season three (don’t worry, next week we start season four) with <em>Conan the Barbarian!</em> 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.</p> <p>Support the show through<a href="https://patreon.com/fieldsofglory">⁠</a> ⁠⁠<a href="http://patreon.com/redwoodsoundlabs">Patreon⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Send an<a href="https://mailto:acosmicvoid@gmail.com">⁠⁠ ⁠email⁠⁠</a>⁠ to the show<a href="https://www.instagram.com/redwood_sound_labs">⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Find short movie reviews by Biggs at⁠ <a href="https://letterboxd.com/AlexBiggsSmall/">⁠⁠Letterboxd</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/acosmicvoid/message
