[The Call of the Wendigo]

Is a plot going to break out at any point? Only, we're over an hour in and, so far, there isn't one.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's just a sequence of events.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Now they're drunk and have been captured by people who aren't drunk.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

They've been taken to see the king.

He seems to be being played by Max Von Sydow.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Dull exposition.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

He's going on about his daughter having run off with Thulsa Doom.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The woman's trying to talk Conan out of going to fight Thulsa Doom, with quite a nicely written speech.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Which means she's now had about 900% more dialogue in this film than he has.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Conan's on his horsie.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Riding around to orchestral music.

Quite reminiscent of scenes in Witchfinder General.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Narrator won't shut up.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Conan's just met the narrator.

Hopefully, the narrator'll shut up now.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Crowd scene.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

People being given robes to wear.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Gay priest.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Conan's knocked him out.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Robed people all heading somewhere.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Conan sees infinity.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Still over an hour to go.
