It seems like we are living in a Conan the Barbarian Renaissance. Just over the past month, we had the latest issue of Titan’s outstanding Conan the Barbarian color comic, the debut of the new Savage Sword of Conan and the Conan Chronicles, a mammoth collection of the two films, hours of extra and a book, all brought to you in 4K by Arrow.
It was inevitable that Karl and I sat down and discuss all of this action.

My brother Ralph Schmidt returns. It seems like an inordinate amount of time has passed since we last spoke, so it was great catching up.  Ralph is one the people out there who I can just hit play / record without and notes prepared and a whole hour just slips away.
