Gather ye 'round, oh listeners bold,
Of iron sinew and legends old.
For in this tale of might and flame,
We sing the songs of Conan’s name.
In this most thunderous episode, we lift the veil of time and step into the age of high adventure — where steel is strong, but courage stronger still. We recount the cinematic sagas of Conan the Barbarian, from the primal roars of Arnold the Austrian in 1982's stone-hewn classic, to the reimagined fury of Jason Momoa in the sandswept reboot of 2011.
Hear ye of epic battles, sorcerers vanquished, snake cults destroyed, and a soundtrack forged by Basil Poledouris himself — as grand and booming as Crom’s own laughter! We speak of destiny carved by blade and bicep, of grim monologues muttered beneath crimson skies, and of that eternal question: What is best in life?
So join us, noble traveler, as we chart the rise, fall, and possible rebirth of cinema’s most brooding, loinclothed legend.
Steel your ears — the saga begins.
