Co-Host Mike White is joined by Talk Without Rhythm's El Goro and Radiodrome's Josh Hadley to discuss the history of Robert E. Howard's most-famous character from the pulp pages of Weird Tales to the 2011 re-imagining of the character. Along with the usual insightful discussion, the episode features interviews with the following people:
- Edward R Pressman, producer of over 80 feature films including Conan the Barbarian
- Mark Finn, author of the definitive Robert E Howard biography, Blood and Thunder
- Paul M Sammon, publicist for Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer, author of Conan the Phenomenon
- Sven-Ole Thorsen, actor and stunt man who played Thorgrim in Conan the Barbarian
- Gerry Lopez, champion surfer who played Subotai in Conan the Barbarian
- Sean Hood, screenwriter of the 2011 Conan the Barbarian
- Roy Thomas, Marvel Comics writer of Savage Sword of Conan
- Josh Atkins, co-host of The Cromcast, a Robert E Howard podcast
"We're not just about length," assures Projection Booth co-host Mike White. "We go for depth and breadth. We hope that this episode is a fitting tribute to Robert E. Howard's creation, Arnold Schwarzenegger's portrayal, and John Milius's remarkable film."
