This week the boys get ready for election season by watching the political rise of Kevin Sorbo as King Kull. We know he's a hairy hunk, but what are his policies? Join Will and Chase for an action-packed '90s romp through the Hyborian Age, ushering in the Sorbonator's laughable second term on the Sorta Sorcery podcast.

A lot of people have a lot of opinions on this show, and we agree with all of them. Join the boys for this complex and nuanced discussion of Amazon Prime's most expensive fantasy series, The Rings of Power (Season 2). There's lots of laughs, gaffs and goo on this episode of Sorta Sorcery.

It's the big fish, Will and Chase's white whale. It's Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Earl Jones (in a wig). It's the definitive cinematic adaptation of Robert E. Howard's genre-defining literary world. It's the one that started it all and it's all right here, on the Sorta Sorcery podcast.

When evil legions stalk the land, a hero must wield a mighty sword and battle against the... is all of this starting to sound familiar? It was probably less played out in 1980 when this film was released. Join the boys for incensed discussion of bus routes, The Wheel of Time and the effects of misogyny on heroic fantasy.

This week the boys just couldn't help themselves and skipped to Ator 4, the conclusion of the Ator series. This film answers the question: what if the dad from "Good Luck Charlie," (Eric Allan Kramer) played a version of Ator who is raised by a hobgoblin after his father (also named Ator and played by Eric Allen Kramer), who was the prince of a race of said hobgoblins, is promptly killed by a goblin god. What if indeed. This love letter to the sword and sorcery genre contains frequent homages to "Die Nibelungen" and is our last foray into the catalog of Italian fantasy and erotic film director Joe D'Amato.…

With the direction of Robert Zemeckis (of "The Polar Express" fame) and screenplay courtesy of Neil Gaiman (of "American Gods" fame), Beowulf (2007) is a modern retelling of the ancient English poem, wherein, a motion-capture CGI Beowulf gets it on with....a mocap CGI Angelina Jolie?! That's literally what happens, but don't take our word for it, listen now!…

A thousand years before the birth of Christ we had the Iliad. And three thousand years after that, we got "Troy" (2004). This movie has it all, love and hatred, honor and deceit, courage and cowardice, Orlando Bloom and Diane Kruger, Brad Pitt and Sean Bean, who could ask for more! It's a Sorta Sorcery story of epic proportions and production value. In sum, the boys finally watch another good movie.

Finally a film with a female lead! Did Jack Hill subvert the gender stereotypes of the genre with his 1982 film "Sorceress"? Did the producers of Dune (1984) screw this movie over by stealing its lighting!? The answer is probably no on all accounts, but there's only one way to find out!

Picture this, Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Conan the Barbarian"...but there are two of him!! It's "The Barbarians," and no, it's not starring fraternal twins Will and Chase. It features 1987's biggest boys, Peter and Paul David. Can these brothers act? Of course not! Are they the buffest men you've ever laid your eyes on? Listen and find out!

What could be more Sword and Sorcery than a movie called The Sword and the Sorcerer (we're getting to Conan be patient)? So a wise-cracking rogue with a three-pronged sword, E.T.'s dark twin, and the historical Oliver Cromwell walk into a bar...what happens next? Listen and find out now!…
