Ep 17 - Masters of the Universe (1987)

We have the Power... to shamelessly review a movie of the same IP that's currently hitting theaters! Hey, look, the corporate synergy was right there, and we aren't above taking advantage of a cosmic coincidence.In this episode, Jay and Malcolm are hopping into the theater to dissect Cannon Films' infamous 1987 live-action gamble: Masters of the Universe. From an oiled-up Dolph Lundgren wandering around an 80s electronics store to Skeletor acting his absolute ribs off on a single soundstage, this movie is a magnificent creature of its time.Did Cannon actually have a finished script, or did two producers just buy a toy line and wing the entire pre-production phase over a five-minute lunch? We’re breaking down the budget-stretching visual effects and the absolute absurdity of bringing Eternia to Earth.

Ep 16 - High Spirits (1988)

What happens when you mix Peter O'Toole acting for the absolute back row, a genuinely massive castle set, a bit of classic Irish "skelping," and a movie that can't decide if it's a gothic romance or a slapstick comedy? You get Neil Jordan's 1988 supernatural anomaly: High Spirits.For this trip to the haunted hills of Ireland, Jay and I are joined by a very special guest—Teresa from the "And Now You Know" Podcast! Together, we dive deep into the chaotic production style, the theatrical energy, and the bizarre line this movie walks between genuine romance and ghost infatuation.Does the massive scale of the production hold up, or does the script collapse under its own weight? We’re breaking down the sets, the slang, and the overall vibes to see if this flick is a hidden nostalgic masterpiece or just a beautiful, messy disaster. Drop your thoughts in the comments, check out Teresa's channel, and let us know: Have you actually seen this one, or did it slip completely under your radar?#HighSpirits #80sMovies #CultCinema #MovieReview #RetroFilms #PeterOToole Follow "No Clue Movie Reviews" on Twitter/X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@NoClueReviewJay ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://x.com/NoClueReviewJay] and make sure to subscribe on YouTube at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@NoClueMovieReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@NoClueMovieReview].
