S16 Ep866: Masters of the Universe (1987) REDUX

“I feel like I could smell it through the TV” - Eric on Gwildor

This week on the program, we’re kicking off the 2026 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza by talking about the toy/cartoon adaptation that was anything but a blockbuster, 1987’s Masters of the Universe!

Could this Billy Barty character have been designed to look any more disgusting? Why did they insist on dragging James Tolkan through almost every scene of the movie? Is the Courteney Cox character actually trying to live out a Bruce Springsteen song? And why in the world is He-Man barely in this He-Man movie? PLUS: As promised, here’s the link to the Pig Boy video on YouTube!

Masters of the Universestars Dolph Lundgren, Meg Foster, Billy Barty, Courteney Cox, Robert Duncan McNeill, Jon Cypher, Chelsea Field, James Tolkan, Christina Pickles, Tony Carroll, Pons Maar, Anthony De Longis, Robert Towers, and Frank Langella as Skeletor; directed by Gary Goddard.
