Episode 11: In the Heart of the Sea (film)

You'll want to grab a life jacket and an extra large popcorn for tonight's show. Here we discuss the film adaptation of In the Heart of the Sea, based on the National Book Award winning history by Patrick Philbrick. Based on actual events, the story follows the whaling ship, Essex, as she takes on a crew and sets out from Nantucket in the early 1800's. Bound for the plentiful whaling grounds of the Pacific on a journey considered commonplace in its day, the crew encounters terrors that will test them to their limits. Directed by Ron Howard and featuring a cast led by Chris Hemsworth, In the Heart of the Sea is the kind of adventure you wish wasn't true.

Episode 8: Conan the Barbarian (1982 Movie)

Well folks if you like your movies big, you came to the right place as we take a gander at the 1982 film version of Conan the Barbarian starring Arnold Swarzenegger.  You will find that the music is big, the sets are big, the actors are big, and the weapons are really big! The film is visually stunning, you will have to give it that. The dialogue may be a bit stilted at times but you will have to have a look at the film for yourself sometime soon.

In the meantime, join us and our guests Mike and Dennis (and Brigitte) as we revel in the glories that are Conan the Barbarian. Do you want to live forever?
