For this week’s main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Giovanni Lago, and Brendan Hodges join me to review and discuss “Masters Of The Universe” starring Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Kristen Wiig, Jared Leto, and Idris Elba. Directed by Travis Knight and based on the Mattel media franchise, it is the second live-action film adaptation after the 1987 film. After being in development for many years, this giant-sized IP has finally made its way to movie theater screens from Amazon MGM Studios, rather than streaming. But do audiences in 2026 still care about He-Man, Skeletor, Cringer, and many of the other iconic characters who are resurfacing in this reboot? Please tune in as we discuss the story, the performances, the visuals, action, comedy, Daniel Pemberton’s score, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and by the power of Grayskull, enjoy!
