The Barbarians (1987) - Movie Mondays - Episode 15

Wes Walker and Nick Zervas Season 1 Episode 15

Join Wes and Nick as they delve into the hilariously misguided world of The Barbarian Brothers, a Conan the Barbarian ripoff that’s as entertaining as it is cringe-worthy. In this episode, we take a closer look at a film that boasts some of the most bizarre body-building performances and strange vocalizations you’ll ever hear.

Plot:

The story follows two twin barbarian brothers who are on a quest for vengeance. Their tribe was brutally massacred by a ruthless warlord when they were just children, and now they seek to exact revenge. As they navigate through a series of epic battles and strange encounters, their quest takes them into a world of exaggerated muscle-bound heroes and questionable special effects.

With its over-the-top performances and a plot that barely holds together, this film offers a treasure trove of unintentional comedy. From the awkward dialogue to the outlandish sound effects, every moment is a testament to its low-budget charm.

Tune in as we dissect the film’s numerous oddities, laugh about its unintentional hilarity, and explore how it stacks up against other low-budget ripoffs. Whether you're a fan of campy action or just enjoy a good laugh at the expense of some questionable cinema, this episode is sure to deliver. Grab your popcorn and get ready for a wild ride through one of the most delightfully awful films we've ever watched!
