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. Support the show…

Send us a text What happens when elves get jobs, vampires pay rent, and wizards have to deal with parking tickets? You get urban fantasy , the genre where magic meets metro passes and ancient evil hides behind artisanal coffee shops. In this episode, we leave the enchanted forests of classic fantasy behind and head straight into the city, where the only thing more dangerous than a necromancer is the rush hour traffic. We compare urban fantasy to its more medieval cousin — you know, the one with castles, dragons, and way too many guys with a king complex — and look at how the modern setting changes the game. We talk about movies like The Craft , Bright , and Doctor Strange , where magical chaos unfolds in the middle of very mundane problems. Demons in alleyways? Sure. Magic cops with emotional issues? Of course. Wizards with Wi-Fi? Obviously. We’ll dig into how these films use fantasy to explore real-world messiness. From social conflict to existential dread, all while wearing trench coats and looking broody. Support the show…
