Here's a short teaser of our brand new Patreon-exclusive episode of Uncut Gems Tie-ins, a monthly series where we take a classic movie and connect it to a film discussed on our main show. This month, in connection to a selection of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 80s oddities we explore on the main show, we are tying in with a conversation about Conan the Barbarian, the movie that catapulted him into stardom. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about John Milius as the legendary badass of the New Hollywood, the genesis of 80s action man, this movie's peculiar approach to fantasy storytelling, flammable witches, stiffened snakes and much more!

Tune in and enjoy!
