Failure to Franchise

Episode Fifty-Four - Masters of the Universe (1987)


Listen Later

After multiple years as a best-selling toy-line and popular animated series, it seemed like a live-action movie was a can't-miss proposition for Mattel's Masters of the Universe property. But between an untested leading man, a notoriously cheap studio, and disagreements over what the movie should be between various involved parties, even the mighty He-Man was no match for the difficulties of Hollywood franchise filmmaking. "Fall Back to the 80s" continues as we take a look at the film that confused and angered many children back in 1987....well, at least the ones who even bothered to see it in the first place.
