Podcasting Day: Conan the Destroyer π
Added 2021-08-25 12:00:05 +0000 UTC
This Podcasting Day itβs part 2 of Conan the Podcast: Conan the Destroyer! We are once again asking a smart young woman to watch a dumb old movie for men with her fresh eyes. After seeing the violent, meandering fuck and slaughter fest that was Conan the Barbarian, Lydia Bugg was prepared for anything the sequel could throw at her!
Except for a PG family-friendly romp full of wacky sidekicks and callback gags. Plus Wilt Chamberlain! Plus Grace Jones!
Surprise Grace Jones! Ainβt nobody ever ready for that.
Plus a hilarious reference to your favorite gag from the first movie: That time a stoned Conan accidentally knocked out a camel and everybody hated it. Letβs see what happens when they - GULP - meet again!
WUH-OH!
BONK! SCRABBLE! SLIDE WHISTLE! NOT AGAAAAIIIIN!
Donβt forget to subscribe to the podcast wherever you do that thing, and please leave us a review that mentions all of our excellent impressions and stunning voicework!
In keeping with this week's theme of old-timey men and uncontrollable violence, we have a new shirt! From Brockway's classic column about beating animals with their own kind, it's this shirt about beating animals with their own kind!

Getting in here late. Love you fellas but just a few minutes in. Jordan's career high is 69 pts (nice) against Cleveland in I think '89. He did set a playoff record with that 63 in '86 against the Celtics. There are more than a few with higher career point totals. Pretty sure Elgin Baylor scored 70 something at least once, and David Robinson got 71 in '94.

2021-08-25 19:44:39 +0000 UTCIt's no Queen of the Black Coast, but then again sometimes all Conan did in some stories Howard wrote was wrestle a gorilla and slap some tits.

But on the other hand........these movies are rad as fuck and they get the broad outline of a Conan story fairly close, and sometimes all even the original ones had going for them was blood and tits.

2021-08-25 19:09:16 +0000 UTCI haven't watched this in years, though I think their estimate of 18 times is pretty close... looks like it is time to make it 19!
