Conan The Barbarian

Katie and surrogate sisters Eric and Neil from The Retro Video Store Podcast scale a snake tower as they re-watch Neil's favorite movie: Conan The Barbarian! And just so we're clear, this is the 80's Conan - NOT the 2011 one (Eric and Neil will rant and rave if you mention it)! Come along as we meet Conan, the nicest barbarian you've ever met, who spends his life seeking the ultimate revenge against Thulsa Doom - aka James Earl Jones in a fabulous wig. When Thulsa kills Conan's family and sets him on a course to endure Wheels of Pain, breeding, and other shit, Conan sets out to kill snakes and disassemble religious cults! Along the way he gets a gaggle of friends including Subotai, a best friend who WILL cry for Conan, Valeria, NOT Valkyrie like Katie keeps mistakingly saying in this episode, and the Wizard, who does eventually do magic but mainly he's just there to narrate. Will Conan be able to seek his revenge and learn his purpose? Will Neil recite this movie word for word!? Released in 1982, it was based on the novels written by Robert E. Howard and features Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones, Max von Sydow, Sandahl Bergman, Mako, and Gerry Lopez.
