¿Por qué EL SEÑOR DE LOS ANILLOS no es espada y brujería? | Conan y el cine de espada y brujería

Sword and Sorcery: Conan Yes, The Lord of the Rings No: An Analysis of the Genre In this episode of Friday Night, we discuss sword and sorcery films, one of the major subgenres of fantasy, heroic fantasy, and 1980s cinema. We analyze what sword and sorcery truly is, why Conan the Barbarian is the genre's quintessential film, and why The Lord of the Rings doesn't quite fit that definition. Together with David Collado, we review the origins of sword and sorcery in fantasy literature, from Robert E. Howard and Conan, to its leap to cinema, its explosion in the 1980s, and its connection to films like Krull and Irati. In this film podcast, we discuss: • what sword and sorcery is • the differences between sword and sorcery and epic fantasy • why The Lord of the Rings isn't sword and sorcery • why Conan the Barbarian is the central work of the genre • how Krull blends sword and sorcery with science fiction • why Irati can be seen as a modern evolution of the genre • the role of video rental stores, pulp literature, Marvel, and the 1980s in the rise of the genre If you like Conan the Barbarian, The Lord of the Rings, Krull, Irati, fantasy films, cult films, video rental movies, heroic fantasy, and film podcasts, this episode is for you.
