Often accused of being a Conan rip off (although the films were released mere months apart), this week’s feature has a special place in the hearts video kids. Dar, the adopted son of farmers, wanders the world as a swordsman, imbued with the ability to communicate with animals and joined by a panther, two ferrets and an eagle. Entice by a meeting with a beautiful woman, he finds himself helping to lead a rebellion and oppose an evil wizard. Join Chris as he harkens back to the good old days of obsessing over television film broadcasts, Tanya Roberts, and the godsend that was the pre-1984 MPAA “PG” rating as the LSCE screens the 1982 Sword and Sandal fantasy “The Beastmaster.” Join Us!
