Swords & Scrolls 018 - The Beastmaster, 1982

00:00 /

SKREEEEEAAWWWWWW! Following on the sandaled heels of “The Sword and the Sorcerer” and “Conan the Barbarian,” both of which mined a similar sword-and-sorcery milieu, “The Beastmaster” debuted in theaters on Friday, August 19, 1982. The world would be forever changed. On this episode I am joined by multiple guests all of whom bear the scars of seeing the film too young.
