Our SUMMER OF '87 series continues with a look back on one of the more notorious sci-fi/fantasy films of the 1980's, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE.

SYNOPSIS: When the evil Skeletor (Frank Langella) finds a mysterious power called the Cosmic Key, he becomes nearly invincible. However, courageous warrior He-Man (Dolph Lundgren) locates inventor Gwildor (Billy Barty), who created the Key and has another version of it. During a battle, one of the Keys is transported to Earth, where it is found by teenagers Julie (Courteney Cox) and Kevin (Robert Duncan McNeill). Now both He-Man and Skeletor's forces arrive on Earth searching for the potent weapon.

Special guest DJ Wilson joins us as we dissect and review the film and it's colorful past as well as if it deserves to to be redeemed from the terrible reputation it's garnered over the past 30 years.
