As an homage to the spooky fiction that laid the groundwork for the genre work that Your Generals enjoy these days, this week they take a look back to the pulp fiction of the early 1900s. Particularly they have zeroed in on a few stories from three celebrated authors, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, and H. P. Lovecraft. The stories that Zac and Tyler will talk about today are "The Return of the Sorceror", "The Tower of the Elephant", and "The Rats in the Walls" respectively. Come join in as they take a trip back and see how weird things got when three masters of the craft ply their trade. Also with news from The Witcher, Ms. Marvel, and more!

Zac's Recommendation: Worms of the Earth by Robert E. Howard and Kings of the Night by Robert E. Howard

Tyler's Recommendation: Solomon Kane

"There's warmth and fire... Do you not wish to warm yourself, by my fire?", der er mange fristelser som barbar.

Conan the Barbarian (1982) instrueret af John Milius efter forfatteren Robert E. Howards bøger fra 1930'erne om barbaren Conan. Det er film nummer 45 på Thomas og Mortens liste over de 100 bedste film.

I Cimmeria, en barsk og mørk fantasyverden fuld af legender og magi vokser barbaren Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) op til at tjene guden Crom. Conan vige ikke for noget andet end blottet stål. Sammen med tyven og bueskytten (Gerry Lopez) og den smukke krigerinde Valeria (Sandahl Bergman) forsøger han at finde og tage hævn over lederen af den mægtige slange kult Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones), der slog hans forældre ihjel.

Thomas og Morten tager en snak om rollespil, typekastede skuespillere og forskellen på guderne.
