Join Nerd Legion as we revisit the iconic 1982 film, 'Conan the Barbarian' as part of our 1980s fantasy marathon. This episode delves into the movie that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger's illustrious career, exploring its lasting legacy, the craftsmanship behind its production, and its impact on the fantasy genre. From its highly atmospheric soundtrack by Basil Poledouris to its stunning sets and John Milius' direction, we cover all that makes this film a timeless classic. The discussion also touches on the performances of James Earl Jones and other cast members, contrasts it with other 1980s sword and sorcery films, and reflects on Conan's influence on contemporary fantasy cinema.
Apologies to some of the issues we had with Shawn's audio and some colorful language...Thank you everyone for joining us on this our 200th episode!Today Matt & Todd are joined by Shawn to discuss:Red Dawn, a 1984 action-war film directed by John Milius, starring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Thompson and Jennifer Grey.Red Dawn probably doesn't need an introduction but if you haven't seen this in a long time we recommend a rewatch.If you've only heard of it by reputation, it may not be quite what you expected.Thank you for coming with us on #200 and hopefully many more!Matt reviews and ranks more movies including newer ones at LetterboxdYou can find out what he's following on Bluesky @MovieMattSiroisCheck out favorites of what we follow, at: Once Upon a Geek and The Fade Out PodcastAs Marcus he reviews all sorts of films but unlike here, they often they range from bad, worse, or terrible at the MovieAsylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful.
This '80s flick is one of our generation's defining fantasy films. Set in the harsh, mythic world of the Hyborian Age, the story follows an epic warrior on his quest for vengeance against the sinister Thulsa Doom. This necromancer destroyed his village and left him an orphan. Upon its release, the film garnered mixed reviews—praised for its stunning production design and thrilling action, but criticized for its heavy dose of violence and subpar acting performances. Despite this, it was a box-office hit and found lasting success in home video markets. So grab your steel weapon, prepare for battle, and watch out for snake arrows as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Gerry D from "Totally Rad Podcast" and Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels Podcast" discuss “Conan the Barbarian” from 1982 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback.Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:Arnold Schwarzenegger had retired from professional bodybuilding after winning the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. While training for his role in "Conan the Barbarian," he got back into such good shape that he decided to enter the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest. He won the contest, although there was significant controversy over whether he deserved the victory.The brief scene featuring an older Conan sitting on the throne of Aquilonia was filmed in 1980, before most of the other filming. This footage was initially intended to serve as a trailer, but John Milius decided to use it as the film's opening sequence. Following concerns from the producers, the scene was moved to the end of the film.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojohttps://movieweb.com/facts-about-conan-the-barbarian-you-didnt-know/Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

"We're in the money We're in the money We've got a lot of what it takes to get along We're in the money The sky is sunny Old man depression, you are through you done us wrong" Parliamo dei primi anni del Novecento americano. Un'epoca che cambiò in maniera indelebile la storia e determinò il futuro di un'intera nazione. Un'epoca in cui a un certo punto gli "eroi" non erano poliziotti, politici o benefattori ma bensì i rapinatori di banche. Il più famigerato ma allo stesso tempo amato dal popolo era il temibile John Dillinger e John Milius racconta la sua leggenda. E la sua caduta.
EPISODE 195: An American Original! – No apologies, no half-measures, all fire. (ft. Joe Buttice) Episode Description: This week, Jason is joined by Joe Buttice (Reel Spoilers) to lock and load a ranking of five films tied to the myth, the man, the cigar-smoking cinema warlord: John Milius. Whether writing frontier survival epics or directing operatic war fantasies, Milius brought a thunderous, unapologetic voice to American film. Strap in for manifest destiny, surfboard theology, Cimmerian steel, and teenage guerrilla warfare. Films Ranked: Jeremiah Johnson (1972, writer) – The loner as legend in a snow-covered survivalist western. Dillinger (1973) – Milius's directorial debut, mixing gangster cool with mythic Americana. Big Wednesday (1978) – A lyrical, wave-soaked ode to brotherhood and the end of an era. Conan the Barbarian (1982) – Barbarism, Nietzsche, and epic vengeance in the Hyborian Age. Red Dawn (1984) – Wolverines! Teenage insurgents defend America in a Cold War fever dream. IN THIS EPISODE: Joe defends Red Dawn as both fantasy and prophecy Jason meditates on Big Wednesday as the most personal of war films The complicated politics, masculine myth-making, and the man behind the bombast

Returning from our unofficial hiatus, we continue our series on Oliver Stone. The early 1980s saw the release of a few films written by Stone that centered upon violent antiheroes. We talk about John Milius and his clash of visions with Stone over the approach to mysticism in 1982's Conan the Barbarian. Next, Scarface and The Year of the Dragon both unsuccessfully grasp toward Stone's political turn, while the much higher quality Salvador (1986) is the movie that truly brings Stone into his own as a filmmaker. Analyzing the insights and limitations of Salvador's critique of the CIA, we consider how its protagonist (journalist Richard Boyle, played by James Woods) reflects Stone's evolving approach to masculinity and to the legacy of the counterculture. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com If you enjoy Psyop Cinema, check out Cultural Engineering Studies magazine - https://decoding-culture.com/product/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-1-print/ CORRECTION: Tony's boss in Scarface was played by Robert Loggia, rather than Frank Langella

Director Greg Mottola (Superbad, Paul, and Confess, Fletch) joins Wampler and Vespe to talk about a very early outing for Steven Spielberg as producer: Used Cars. Written by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, produced by Spielberg and John Milius, and directed by Zemeckis, this raunchy, cynical, absurd early '80s comedy starring Kurt Russell, Jack Warden, and Gerrit Graham seems made in a lab to be one of Scott Wampler's favorite movies. But... he didn't take to it. We dive into why that is as well as trade off Larry David impersonations, find out the status of Mottola's Fletch sequel, and dive into some of our favorite scenes from the movie.

Directed by John Milius and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in the titular role, this film not only launched Schwarzenegger into superstardom but also set a high standard for fantasy epics of its time.Conan the Barbarian immerses viewers in a fantastical, prehistoric world of magic, myth, and merciless warfare. The story begins with young Conan witnessing the brutal massacre of his parents and villagers by the vicious warlord Thulsa Doom, played menacingly by James Earl Jones. This event sets Conan on a path of revenge that shapes the core of the film.After being enslaved and then rising as a skilled gladiator, Conan is freed and begins his quest to avenge his parents' death. Along his journey, he encounters several allies, including the fierce warrior Valeria (Sandahl Bergman) and the cunning archer Subotai (Gerry Lopez). Together, they navigate a world riddled with sorcery, fierce creatures, and ruthless enemies. Conan's journey is not just one of vengeance but also one of self-discovery and destiny.At its core, Conan the Barbarian explores themes of power, corruption, and the resilience of the human spirit. The film portrays Conan's transformation from a vengeful warrior to a legendary hero, paralleling his personal growth with his battles against larger-than-life adversaries.For fans of the fantasy genre and epic storytelling, Conan the Barbarian remains a must-watch for its ground-breaking approach to sword-and-sorcery films. Its influence is evident in many later works in the genre, making it a seminal piece in cinematic history.So grab your swords and join us on this epic adventure as we revisit Conan the Barbarian, exploring the depths of its mythical world and the heights of its cinematic achievements. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the tale of Conan, there's plenty to discover and discuss in this iconic film.
Jordan gets out of the house and meets the Swayze Boys in the metaphorical woods for another crack at Swayze's classic 80's family drama.

Comic book legend Brian Michael Bendis (creator of Miles Morales, author of House of M, The Ultimates, Torso) decided, for some reason, to talk about Steven Spielberg's 1941. This was the director's first failure, an over caffeinated live action Looney Tunes look at how the post-Pearl Harbor hysteria hit Southern California. This kitchen sink of a movie is the brainchild of Bob Gale, Robert Zemeckis, and John Milius, and the film Spielberg followed up his one-two punch of Jaws and Close Encounters with. The discussion is focused primarily on what Spielberg learned as a filmmaker from this critically panned film, how it humbled him, and what we actually like and dislike about the movie. Wampler also pulls some comic book stories out of our guest before revealing that this movie super got on his nerves.
You have to take out a mortgage on your house now to get a haircut in Los Angeles. I saw Apocalypse Now in 70mm, and it was quite an experience. I flew to Buffalo and did things, I'm here right now. Why does Hollywood want us to like Glen Powell so much? Beerwolf wrote one of my favorite songs.
This week Paul, Javi, and - indubitably - Producer Brad contemplate Conan the Barbarian, John Milius' sweeping, serpent-filled, and surprisingly soup-laden adaptation of Robert E. Howard's legendary pulp hero, brought to laconic life by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role that made him an icon. Crom commands you to heed this episode as we chronicle Arnold's epic quest to deliver a monologue that measures up to those of his magnificently mellifluous co-stars James Earl Jones, Max Von Sydow and Mako! And did we mention the soup? (And yes, astute listeners, we realize we're breaking continuity by reaching back to a movie that opened on May 14, 1982, but you can trust us as much as steel that this journey into high adventure is infinitely preferable to the wheel of pain that was The Secret of NIMH!)

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we look back at Paul M. Sammon's coverage of the making of Conan the Barbarian in the April 1982 issue of Cinefantastique. The double issue has three features by Sammon — a lengthy piece of reportage on the filming and interviews with designer Ron Cobb and director John Milius — and lots of behind-the-scenes photos. It's a charming bit of work that contrasts in surprising ways with Sammon's later coverage of Conan the Destroyer, which we also discuss. * * * Stu's book, Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground is for sale now!

John Milius' "Red Dawn" was released in 1984 against the backdrop of the Cold War, when tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were at an all-time high.

Rob Bohn joins Dennis for his second tour of duty to celebrate this action classic, the first PG-13 film ever released. Wolverines! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John Milius's 1984 film Red Dawn has a reputation as being a jingoistic conservative fever dream, but we talk with Nat Hansen, who argues that its political outlook is more complex and more interesting. Along the way, we also discuss the film's portrayal of masculinity, the toll of war, the film's many references, from The Battle of Algiers to Alexander Nevsky.

It's easy for some people to laugh at Conan the Barbarian, John Milius's 1982 film about Robert E. Howard's most famous creation: it seems like the cinematic equivalent of middle-schoolers playing Dungeons and Dragons. But this is an honest (as in “unpretentious”) film with ideas: the pagan existentialism of Thulsa Doom, the theology of Subatai, and the difference between soldiers and warriors are all offered for the viewer's consideration. It's also oddly countercultural and conservative in its point of view. Join Dan and Tim for an appreciation of a wildly entertaining film that launched the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger and features one of the greatest movie soundtracks. We know the poetry of Khitai and the philosophy of Sung—so give it a listen! Interested in reading the source material? Check out Robert E.

When the daughter of a Vietnam veteran asks you to review "Apocalypse Now," you answer the call. Both Gene and Dick agree this movie is epic, but the topic of Marlon Brando's weight sparks an all-out war. This 1979 adaptation of "Heart of Darkness" is both miracle and masterpiece, expertly depicting drug use (Big D verified) and the convoluted crossroads of the Vietnam War (Gene is a bit of an expert.) The attention to detail, recklessness and introspection hit American audiences with a film unlike any they'd seen before, and the shockwaves still resonate on this 2023 podcast. Where Dick Ebert sees a disjointed plot, Gene Lyons sees the direct DNA of Joseph Conrad's groundbreaking novella. And where Gene sees a disappointing ending, Big D tells the story of the John Milius ending that never was.
