Join Johnny Spoiler and scream queen Jordan Savage as they brandish their wit and nostalgia in a journey through the enchanted lands of fantasy movies, beginning with a hearty banter on the cult favorite "Red Sonja." The duo doesn't hold back, diving into Arnold Schwarzenegger's larger-than-life on-set stories and the recent beat of his human heart beneath the legendary muscle—a pacemaker update that reminds us even icons have their battles. We'll navigate through the choppy waters of potential revivals from the spinach-chewing "Popeye" to the long-awaited swings of a "Happy Gilmore" sequel, all while stirring up the cauldron of anticipation and cherished recollections.
The clang of swords and the roar of dragons take center stage as we peel back the curtain on "Red Sonja's" tumultuous production tales. You'll get an earful about Arnold's unexpected leap from a cameo to a co-starring role and the hunt for a female lead who could stand toe-to-toe with the screen's mightiest warrior. The chapter unfolds, revealing "Red Sonja's" secret identity as possibly Marvel's first cinematic outing, setting the stage for a legacy long before comic book movies became Hollywood's behemoths. We cap off with a spirited critique of some of the film's most thrilling scenes—yes, including that unforgettable water fight sequence.
As we sheathe our swords from the on-screen escapades, Jordan and I retreat to the kingdom of childhood, where the echoes of laughter from epic backyard quests still linger. We reminisce about the days of cardboard castles and wrapping paper swords, drawing parallels between those simple joys and our current quests for moments of solitude and play. A dream ushers in a heartfelt conversation about the profound impact of those formative years, as we invite you to join us in this intimate roundtable, sharing your stories and continuing the dialogue that bridges the past, present, and future of our shared love for the fantastical.
