Podcast # 444 – “Conan the Barbarian” – 1307.07

This week, I got together on Skype with Chris & Chuck to talk all about Conan the Barbarian.  We start off the podcast talking about the creator of the character, Robert E. Howard and how his life influenced the books & stories he wrote about Conan.  The main part of the podcast is covering the 1982 film starring Arnold  Schwarzenegger.  This classic film is a lot of fun to watch and was actually pretty successful for an R rated movie released back in 1982.  We also talk about some great comic book collections, books, games, music and more (see links below).  We also touch on the other couple of Conan films that have been produced.  This was a really fun show to do and Chris and I slip in our combined Ahh-nold impressions too (Chris is really great at it).  I want to thank both Chuck & Chris for spending the time to cover this classic character on the podcast.  Great show and very fun to do guys.  Next weekend, Mark will be back with another look at a classic Sci-Fi film from the past called, “It! The Terror From Beyond Space.”  Make sure to come back for that one.  Take care until then and enjoy your week ahead.
