    #35 - Bibbo’s B-Movies: MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE (1987)

    "TELL ME ABOUT THE LONELINESS OF PODCASTING, HE-MAN..."
    Alan and Rob are joined once again by friend of the podcast & Caped Wonder Europe’s own Martin Lakin to take another sneaky look under the counter at the movie stash behind the bar at Bibbo’s ‘Ace o’ Clubs’.
    This time they examine Cannon's 1987’s classic, ‘Masters of the Universe’ starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella, the movie based on the classic 80’s Mattel toyline of the same name.
    Hear about the dramatic behind the scenes turmoil which caused the production to shut down mid shoot, why exactly the film so negatively effected Superman IV and most importantly the origins of PIGBOY!!!
    Is this picture the closest we ever got to a Christopher Reeve era New Gods film? You’ll have to tune your cosmic key to the All Star Superfan frequency to find out!

Super podcast!

Superman fans getting together with an engaging chatfest about our favorite superhero. What more could anyone ask? \S/

This will make you believe that a man can fly.

I discovered this podcast because one of the host was a guest on another Superman podcast I listen to and I decided to give this one a chance. Boy, am I glad I did. Alan and Rob are true fans of the character. They’re love of Superman and all his mythology is without question. And I haven’t even mentioned they phenomenal guests they’ve had on the show so far. Give this a listen. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic show

Love Superman? Love people who love Superman? Love people who know Superman well? Love Irish accents? If you answered yes to any of these, this pod is worth your time.
