Show Notes

In this episode of Cinematic Anarchy, Chris Matt and Rachel dive into the muscle-bound, oiled-up world of "Conan the Barbarian." Join them as they hilariously dissect Arnold Schwarzenegger's beefcake fever dream, where the plot is as thin as Conan's loincloth. From accidental camel punching to questioning how philosophical Conan really is, this episode is a wild ride through 80s cinema absurdity. Tune in for a laugh as they ponder if James Earl Jones was in a different movie altogether and why green soup was the culinary choice for human stew. It's a barbarian bash you won't want to miss!
