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 I 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, the legendary Bill Conti score, and the absolute absurdity of bringing Eternia to Earth.

Drop a comment below and let us know: Does this 80s relic actually hold the power, or should it have stayed locked in the toy box?
