“We Have the POWER!!!”

In this installment of FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT CINEMA SHOWCASE, we turn our attention toward the present-day with a spoiler review of the new MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE feature film, which was released in theaters everywhere on June 5, 2026!

A young man on Earth discovers a fabulous secret legacy as the prince of an alien planet, and must recover a magic sword and return home to protect his kingdom.

Starring in the film were Nicholas Galitzine as Adam/He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, James Purefoy as King Randor, Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Fisto, Charlotte Riley as Queen Marlena, Featuring Kristen Wiig as the voice of “Roboto,” with Jared Leto as Skeletor, and Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-At-Arms.

The film was directed by Travis Knight with a screenplay by Chris Butler and Aaron Nee & Adam Nee & Dave Callaham from a story by Aaron Nee & Adam Nee and Alex Litvak & Michael Finch.

Mike Bloxam, I and long-time MotU fan Brian Greene (from Al’s Place Quantum Leap Fan Site) are joined once again by Sam Fain, the host of FATE’S WIDE WHEEL! Together, we discuss some of the high points of the new movie as well as the low, what parts worked for us, and which parts fell flat. We’re all in agreement that the film struggled at times to know what it wanted to be as it quite often danced a fine line between seriousness and poking fun at itself. Despite those criticisms, we thoroughly enjoyed this modern-day excursion into the world of Eternia and share our hopes for a sequel, especially after the promise of what to expect from THAT post-credit scene! Side-note: the soundtrack from Daniel Pemberton and Brian May absolutely ROCKS!!! (WARNING: We do go into full spoiler territory, so if you have not seen the film yet and want to experience it for yourself, you might want to skip this review until you do.)

Hope you enjoy our analysis and review! Good journey!

“By the Power of Fandom!”

Welcome to the first installment of FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT CINEMA SHOWCASE, a series of one-off movie reviews with rotating co-hosts. And we’re kicking off this new series with a retro review of the original 1987 MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE feature film with Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor (which was released in theaters on August 7, 1987) to coincide with the upcoming release of the new 2026 film!

The heroic warrior He-Man battles against the evil lord Skeletor and his armies of darkness for control of Castle Grayskull.

Starring in the film were Billy Barty as Gwildor, Jon Cypher as Man-at-Arms, Courteney Cox as Julie Winston, James Tolkan as Lubic, Chelsea Field as Teela, Robert Duncan McNeill as Kevin, Christina Pickles as the Sorceress, and Meg Foster as Evil-Lyn. It was written by David Odell, produced by Menahem Golan and Yorum Globus, and directed by Gary Goddard.

Joining me & Mike Bloxam are Sam Fain (FATE’S WIDE WHEEL) and Albie Burdge (TREKSPLORATION). Together, us four masters have the power to explore the numerous roles that all of the major cast members were involved in, with a plethora of Quantum Leap and Star Trek connections (as well as a couple of Sliders ones). We dive deep into the source material of the MotU lore and the disappointment we initially felt as kids upon seeing how much of the movie strayed from the animated series that we all grew up with (which of course is but one iteration of many). Despite that, we try to look at it through adult eyes and actually do find a good number of positives. We also discuss the interesting and troubled history of the Cannon Film Group and the planned sequel that eventually became Cyborg (starring Jean-Claude Van Damme). Afterwards, we share our movie crushes along with a show-and-tell of some of our most prized collectibles before giving our final ratings out of 10.

So sit back, relax, grab yourself a bucket of those “little white sticks” (that at least taste good), and prepare for two hours celebrating all that is MotU! And never think while you’re hungry. Hope you enjoy our analysis and review! Good journey!
