<p>This week I&#39;m joined by Chris Babalis, frontman of Greek doom metal band Acid Mammoth, so it&#39;s only appropriate that we discuss one of cinema&#39;s most doom-laden and oppressive sword and sorcery epics, Conan The Barbarian!</p><p>Written by John Milius and Oliver Stone, with Milius behind the camera, Conan The Barbarian stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as an orphaned Cimmerian boy, who rises from slavery to avenge the death of his father, figure out the Riddle of Steel and confront his arch-nemesis Thulsa Doom!</p><p>If you&#39;re a long time listener, or new to this podcast, you&#39;ll know it has been Patreon-free and ad-free for it&#39;s several year duration. But I&#39;ve just started a Buy Me A Coffee (www.buymeacoffee.com/ifwtpod), for those who&#39;d like to support the podcast. All contributions appreciated. </p>
