Masters Of The Universe (1987) - Was He-Man The Biggest Superhero Of The 80s? Part One

As He-Man returns to the big screen this month in Masters Of The Universe, we head back to 1987 to examine the original MOTU movie and ask the question - was He-Man the biggest superhero of the 80s? We’ll explore everything that ties the Masters Of The Universe and this movie to Marvel Comics, dig into how Marvel's Conan sparked off the Sword & Sorcery pop culture boom of the 70's and 80's! We'll uncover the ORIGINAL Masters Of The Universe stories, the toy craze, the MOTU Marvel Comics, the animated series, and how it all led to dizzying highs and crushing lows! Then we'll get into the crazy story of the making of this movie that everything involved seemed to hate ... except for Skeletor! Canon Films comes to the brink of collapse, the financing runs out BEFORE THE MOVIE IS FINISHED, and ultimately how the financial failure of Masters Of The Universe robbed us of getting a 90's Spider-Man movie!

Then we’ll pull apart the 1987 He-Man movie scene-by-scene, deliver all of our thoughts and reactions on what works, what doesn't work, and what sucks! We’ll deliver TONS of history and trivia on the Masters Of The Universe characters, and the big differences between the original comic books, the animated series, and the movie versions of the characters! Plus, we've got all the Marvel Connections that listeners demand, AND the single CRAZIEST Marvel Connection in history! You cannot believe where one of these actors leads us and how it's connected to Marvel!
