Commentary Track: Masters of the Universe (1987)

With a new Masters of the Universe adventure headed to theaters next week, we figured it was a perfect time to revisit the franchise’s first live-action big-screen outing! Listen separately or watch along as we talk through 1987’s Masters of the Universe, from Dolph Lundgren’s He-Man and Frank Langella’s unforgettable Skeletor to the movie’s attempt to bring Eternia to life on an ’80s budget. Along the way, we discuss the film’s devoted cult following, its place in the wave of fantasy and sci-fi movies of the era, and why it continues to inspire such affection nearly forty years later. By the power of Grayskull, join us for what we hope will be a good journey! Listen ad-free at Patreon: https://patreon.com/MovieFilmPodcast
