Podcast # 444 - "Conan"

Rico · July 07, 2013, 06:27:39 AM

This week I got together with Chris & Chuck on Skype to talk all about "Conan the Barbarian." The main focus is the 1982 classic film with Ahh-nold. There is also some background given on Robert E. Howard the creator and author of many Conan books & stories. We hit on the comics a bit as well as the other Conan films too. This was a real fun show to do and I hope you enjoy our maybe not so great Ahh-nold impressions (well mine is bad, but Chris can really nail it given the right amount of alcohol - lol). Big thanks to Chris & Chuck for doing this show with me. So, enjoy this fun podcast.

Just readin Arnie's autobiography and got to the part where he discusses the one liners. He discovered that people loved them when Terminator came out so it became "his thing" and one of his requirements in roles going forward.

I have never seen Conan, but this podcast has me curious! I got a copy of the movie free on DVD from a newspaper years ago...I think I will have to watch it soon! :)

Conan was a big movie when it was in theaters, my friends and I really liked it, it was like "Excalibur" this hard core, rated R, fantasy movie with boobs and swords! We were there! :)

Awesome podcast. At the end you guys got silly, hilarious.
I've never watched the movie or read the books. Now I want to do both, and I'll have to look for the dark horse comics as well.

Great episode! Never been really into Conan but I do recall reading some Conan comics back in the day. I'm sure Marvel had the license for a while didn't it? I remember those stories being pretty good.

Started listening to this today. So far very good info on Howard.
Marvel did run a Conan series for some time. I had a few of them. I also have 5 novels but none by Howard.

Yeah, there was a rambling moment when I talked about that for a few, but I cut it because the wine was messing with my memory.
