It's Conan vs. Conan vs. Conan!  This week on The B-Siders, Josh and Ryan go back to the days after the oceans drank Atlantis and sharpen their steel for the 2011 sword and sorcery epic, "Conan the Barbarian," starring Jason Mamoa.  We talk about the stories of Robert E Howard, the original Arnie film interpretation, and why this iteration is so... forgettable.  Grab your sword and memorize your spells- The Dweller is waiting! Conan the Barbarian was released in 2011 and stars Jason Momoa, Rachel Nicols, Rose McGowan, and Ron Pearlman.

What is the central preoccupation of your life?  It might be luggage after this podcast!  Join Keystone Creator Josh and Curmudgeonly Critic Ryan as they discuss the very first entry in the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan romcom pairings: Joe Versus The Volcano.  Cross oceans and continents with us as we go on a daring quest to throw ourselves into a volcano for the greatest of human pursuits: business relationships.  When you're out there in the world, all you've got to depend on is your luggage, so pack heavy, grab your portable putt-putt kit, and crack open an orange soda.  We're headed to Waponi Woo! Just, leave the vaseline at home, please. "Joe Versus the Volcano" was released in 1990 and stars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, with supporting roles by Lloyd Bridges, Abe Vigoda, Robert Stack and Nathan Lane.

With an adequate grimace and a mediocre sound, he pulls the laughing film critics down!  This week on The B-Siders we discuss the 1998 American entry in the Godzilla franchise.  Crawl with Josh and Ryan through a nuclear wasteland of promising but poorly executed plot threads, lackluster character development, and the largest marketing campaign of the late 20th Century (don't quote us on that part, it's probably not a real fact).  The monster movie is back and it's better... no... more forgettable than ever! Godzilla '98 stars Matthew Brodrick, Jean Reno, Hank Azaria and Maria Pitillo

Take a journey with Josh and Ryan to the jungles of South America, where we trail The Rock as he chases down Sean William Scott in this 2003 action comedy.  We'll answer questions critical to your well being, like "Is every movie made better for the inclusion of Christopher Walken?"  "Can hordes of evil monkeys bore an audience?"  "Does the toothfairy exist, and if she does, what would you do if someone stole your toothfairy money?" (These questions and answers have not been screened or answered by a medical professional, and likely have no bearing on your actual well being) "The Rundown" stars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Sean William Scott, Rosario Dawson and Christopher Walken 

Josh and Ryan break down this monstrously average film from the early 2000s!  Marvel as Ryan rants about parachutes!  Wonder as Josh finds poignant parallels to Medieval folklore!  All for the low, low price of an hour of goofy, free-wheeling conversation between two would-be film critics! Reign of Fire stars Matthew McConaughey, Gerard Butler, Christian Bale and Izabella Scorupco, and was released in 2002.  

Josh and Ryan discuss and deconstruct the seminal 1988 'Alien from L.A.' starring Kathy Ireland in her first acting role!  Join us on a journey of hacky dialogue, suspiciously familiar musical keys, and painfully cringe tropes in this film that tries its best to split the difference between 'A Journey to the Center of the Earth,' and 'The Wizard of Oz.'  Curious about movies that aren't quite good, aren't quite bad, but are just fine?!  You've come to the right place, my friend.  Welcome to our little corner of the podcast universe.
