Ep.40 Conan the Barbarian (1982) Vs. Conan the Barbarian (2011)

In 1982 a retired body builder relatively new to acting got his big break as one of the the most iconic literary characters of all time. That character was Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, and that man was Arnold Schwarzenegger! Director John Milius co-wrote the script with Oliver Stone and had an all-star cast to support Arnold, like James Earl Jones, Max Von Sydow, Sandahl Bergman, and Mako. The movie is now considered a fantasy classic.

In 2011, after a failed sequel and many more failed attempts to get more Conan starring Arnold off the ground, a remake / re-imagining finally hit the big screen starring Jason Momoa, who, after a major role in HBO's Game of Thrones was no stranger to playing a barbarian. He was joined by Ron Pearlman, Rose McGowan, and Stephen Lang in this Marcus Nispel directed summer blockbuster. It didn't do so well...like really, really not well.
