Podcast appearances and mentions of Frank Langella

Matt and Jordan review Netflix's massive true crime tabloid horror hit, The Crash, a direct-to-streaming look at the tragic Mackenzie Sherilla case. Jordan walks away feeling like he needs a shower for his soul, while Matt thanks his lucky stars that social media didn't exist when he was a youngster. For Rec Seg, Matt challenges the "drek" of the true crime genre by recommending an Oscar-nominated Netflix doc and Jordan counters with a 2018 indie drama that offers a nuanced take on the endless scroll. Listener requests yield recommendations for a 1945 "hardcore British" romance and 2012 Sundance indie featuring an ex-con who hangs out with a robot. Finally, Producer Sam steps in to host a true crime-inspired game called If You Can't Do the Time, Don't Watch the True Crime (on Amazon Prime). Plus, dabbing, dad jokes, and brief thoughts on box office phenomenons Backrooms and Obsession, and Masters of the Universe.

The students become the masters in this one. James and Nick use the cosmic key to rift into 1987 to check out what was going on in the universe of Cannon Films. What they found was 80s movie gold in the form of oiled up muscles, convenient plot devices, and a furry little fella named Gwildor. Just Play It gives Masters of the Universe (1987) a first watch and review. The only thing we have left to ask is, are you He-Man enough to come along?Thanks for tuning in.

“I feel like I could smell it through the TV” - Eric on GwildorThis week on the program, we're kicking off the 2026 Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza by talking about the toy/cartoon adaptation that was anything but a blockbuster, 1987's Masters of the Universe! Could this Billy Barty character have been designed to look any more disgusting? Why did they insist on dragging James Tolkan through almost every scene of the movie? Is the Courteney Cox character actually trying to live out a Bruce Springsteen song? And why in the world is He-Man barely in this He-Man movie? PLUS: As promised, here's the link to the Pig Boy video on YouTube!Masters of the Universestars Dolph Lundgren, Meg Foster, Billy Barty, Courteney Cox, Robert Duncan McNeill, Jon Cypher, Chelsea Field, James Tolkan, Christina Pickles, Tony Carroll, Pons Maar, Anthony De Longis, Robert Towers, and Frank Langella as Skeletor; directed by Gary Goddard.This episode is sponsored by Rocket Money!

By the power of Grayskull, we made a huge mistake. This week on Be Kind Rewind, Dave, Cody, & Paul Walcher revisit 1987's Masters of the Universe — the flop that took down an entire movie studio. We dig into what holds up (Frank Langella performing Shakespeare under a skull mask, Dolph Lundgren as a walking action figure, James Tolkan from Back to the Future as a hardboiled detective who somehow ends up an honorary Master of the Universe), what doesn't (no Battle Cat, no Orko, no Prince Adam, no real Eternia), and the bonkers behind-the-scenes story including the studio running out of money three days before filming wrapped, a planned sequel that became Cyborg with Jean-Claude Van Damme, and a marketing pitch that simply said "make it Star Wars but He-Man." We also Muppetize the movie, find one of the most surprising Pastor's Corner moments hiding in a bad movie ever, and pick our winners and losers. Plus: the debut of Hot Take Cody as our new opener, a brand new Movie Game, and a bonus round on the top five highest-grossing toy movies of all time.

Reissue 67 - Masters of the Universe (1987)Since a new Masters of the Universe movie is arriving in 2026, we're unlocking the vault and re-releasing Episode 67 of Reel Comic Heroes! Join us as we travel back to Eternia—and suburban Earth—to revisit the 1987 cult classic Masters of the Universe, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as the iconic Skeletor. Based on the wildly popular Mattel toy line and animated series, this ambitious live-action adaptation brought swords, sorcery, laser blasters, and Castle Grayskull to the big screen in a way only the 1980s could.In this episode, we discuss the film's journey from toy shelves to theaters, its memorable cast—including a young Courteney Cox—and why this once-maligned box-office disappointment has grown into a beloved cult favorite over the decades. We also examine the movie's departures from the source material, its production challenges, and the performance that many fans still consider the film's greatest strength: Langella's unforgettable Skeletor.Whether you're a lifelong Master of the Universe or preparing for the franchise's big-screen return, grab your Power Sword and join us for a nostalgic look back at one of the most fascinating comic and toy adaptations of the 1980s. By the power of Grayskull, it's time for Reel Comic Heroes!Guest PlugsSean Malloy - I Must Break Discuss the episode over on the Facebook group: The Reel Comic Heroes League of CitizensFollow @ReelComicHeroes on Letterboxd & InstagramJoin us for our next movie review - Attack of the Clones

¡HE-MAN vuelve al videoclub! Aprovechando el estreno de la nueva película, hablamos del intento de Cannon Films por aprovechar la marca, a su modo, con Dolph Lungren como un perfecto He-Man y el recordado Frank Langella como Skeletor. No fue una buena adaptación, ni gustó demasiado a los fans, pero con los años ha quedado como un pequeño clásico de los 80 y, sobre todo, nos sigue gustando hablar de ella, de los muñecos y de la serie de dibujos, para recordar nuestra infancia y adolescencia.

With a new Masters of the Universe adventure headed to theaters next week, we figured it was a perfect time to revisit the franchise's first live-action big-screen outing! Listen separately or watch along as we talk through 1987's Masters of the Universe, from Dolph Lundgren's He-Man and Frank Langella's unforgettable Skeletor to the movie's attempt to bring Eternia to life on an '80s budget. Along the way, we discuss the film's devoted cult following, its place in the wave of fantasy and sci-fi movies of the era, and why it continues to inspire such affection nearly forty years later.

Holly hopes to wrestle the power of Grayskull from Skeletor in Masters of the Universe (1987, re-watch), with Dolph Lundgren as the live action version of Mattel's He-Man action figure, teaming up with Courtney Cox to save the Earth from Frank Langella's deliciously hammy villain in this Cannon Films classic. Listen as we get nostalgic for after-school cartoons, toy collecting, mullets, magic and mayhem on this week's exciting episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we review Masters of the Universe (1987), Gary Goddard's sci-fi fantasy cult classic that blasts He-Man from Eternia straight into suburban Earth. Dolph Lundgren stars as the mighty He-Man, squaring off against Frank Langella's gloriously theatrical Skeletor in a battle for the cosmic key — and the fate of the universe. With its wild mix of swords, lasers, synth scores, and fish-out-of-water hijinks, this Cannon Films production reimagines the beloved Mattel toy line with a decidedly '80s flair.Is it By the Power of Grayskull or just a powerfully bad idea?

Welcome to CHUCKYVISION, a podcast about the horror franchise Child's Play/Chucky, the surrounding culture, and other killer doll films. In our first episode post-Child's Play Minute, Mark shoehorns in a film that he really wanted to look at. The new Masters of the Universe film is released next month, so why the hell shouldn't we look at the 1987 cult classic this month? It's toys. Dolls. They come alive. Sorta. In this bumper episode, Mark and Dev discuss the history and legacy of the He-Man franchise from action figures to TV shows before taking a look at Masters of the Universe (1987) starring Dolph Ludgren, Frank Langella, Monica from FRIENDS and Tom Paris from Star Trek Voyager. Mark is very enthusiastic; Dev less so.

In this episode of Missing Frames, Shawn and returning guest John Mills tackle one of the most gloriously baffling cult films of the 1980s: Masters of the Universe.Technically speaking? It's not a good movie.Emotionally speaking? They kind of love it anyway.Together, Shawn and John dive deep into the strange, earnest, deeply endearing world of Cannon Films' live-action adaptation of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and a gloriously committed Frank Langella as Skeletor. Along the way, they unpack the film's bizarre production history, its unmistakable “Cannon Films energy,” and why the movie's sincerity and lack of cynicism make it weirdly lovable. They also discuss that odd moment when a "bad" movie ends up being far more endearing and memorable than a competent one.By the Power of Grayskull, this one has the power.

Ahead of the release of his new album “Everyone For Ten Minutes,” Jack returns to Working It Out. Mike and Jack break open why Jack has never listened to Mike's podcast, what Jack wanted to say about marriage and loneliness on his new album, and what Bill Burr, Frank Langella, Jon Bernthal, Andy Milonakis, and the Indigo Girls have in common.

Masters of the Universe (1987) Director: Gary Goddard Cast: Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Meg Foster, Billy BartyBy the power of Grayskull — and a budget that clearly ran out before they could build a decent set — we're diving headfirst into the gloriously broken 1987 Cannon Films fever dream that is Masters of the Universe. This week, John and Sean strap on their cosmic keys, dust off their He-Man nostalgia (well, Sean's nostalgia — John was busy being a Ghostbusters kid), and try to figure out what the hell they just watched. Oh, and we also talk about Hulk Hogan's new Netflix documentary, Real American, because apparently two massively jacked, possibly fictional characters for one episode wasn't enough.In this episode, we discuss:He-Mansplaining: A Franchise Left Stranded on Earth — Sean breaks down why this movie is basically unwatchable if you didn't grow up playing with Snake Mountain, and actively insulting if you did. No Prince Adam, no Battle Cat, no context — just Dolph Lundgren looking absolutely shredded and wandering around a deserted California town.Canon Fodder: How Golan-Globus Torched Their Own Studio — The behind-the-scenes disaster is almost more entertaining than the film itself. Budget cuts, three days of filming halted because they literally ran out of money, sets being torn down mid-shoot, and props that got recycled into Jean-Claude Van Damme's Cyborg. This is the beautiful chaos of late-80s Cannon Films in full self-destruction mode.The Puff Piece Problem: Hulk Hogan's WWE-Laundered Legacy — The guys dig into Netflix's Hulk Hogan: Real American and call out exactly what it is — a carefully sanitized, WWE-produced hagiography that glosses over the steroids, the racial slurs, the sex tape, and basically anything that would make Terry Bollea look like a human being with flaws. The first three episodes slap. The fourth one chickens out.Skeletor Deserved Better (And So Did We) — Frank Langella shows up, chews every piece of scenery in sight, and delivers the only performance worth watching in this entire movie. James Tolkan's accented cop is deeply out of place and completely hilarious. And poor Billy Barty is buried under pounds of prosthetics as Gwildor, a character so annoying he makes Jar Jar Binks look understated.We Also Talked About:Hulk Hogan: Real American (Netflix, 2026) — A four-episode WWE-produced docuseries covering Hogan's rise from fat kid playing bass in a band to the most recognizable figure in wrestling history. Great archival footage, Linda Hogan telling it surprisingly straight, Jesse Ventura being selectively complimentary, and Donald Trump somehow finding time in his schedule to appear on camera. The Bubba the Love Sponge/racial slur situation? Barely mentioned.The Many Lies of Hulk Hogan (Part 1) (Youtube)The Many Lies of Hulk Hogan (Part 2) (Youtube)I Come in Peace (1990, Dolph Lundgren) — Referenced as a recent pod pick, because apparently the guys can't get enough of Dolph.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.

Travel back with us to Eternia! In this episode, we’re revisiting the cult classic Masters of the Universe (1987) ahead of the upcoming He-Man remake? Reboot? Requel? Does this live-action adaptation still hold up, or is it pure ‘80s nostalgia?

We also break down the new film’s cast and compare them with their 80s counterparts. If you're excited about the new He-Man movie or just want a nostalgic rewatch pod, this episode is for you.

The journey through our Sword and Sorcery Series reaches the center of the universe tonight! We are traveling from the high-fantasy realms of Willow and Krull to the neon-soaked, cosmic world of Eternia—which, for some reason, looks a lot like 1980s California. Joining us in the booth to navigate the cosmic keys and interdimensional rifts is our good friend David from Journey with a Cinephile! Together, we're breaking down everything that makes MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE (1987) a permanent fixture in the Cannon Films hall of fame. We're diving deep into Dolph Lundgren's physical presence as He-Man, the wild "fish-out-of-water" Earth sequences, and why Frank Langella's Shakespearean take on Skeletor might be the greatest fantasy villain performance of all time. THE POWER IS YOURS!

"Auf dem fernen Planeten Eternia strebt der böse Herrscher Skeletor nach der alleinigen Macht über das Universum. Nur noch der He-Man und seine Mitkämpfer Man-at-Arms und Teela stellen sich ihm in den Weg. Durch ein zufällig geöffnetes Tor können sie zur Erde flüchten. Doch Skeletor kennt kein Erbarmen und verfolgt seine Widersacher bis auf den blauen Planeten. Dort findet schließlich die Schlacht zwischen Gut und Böse statt."

Remember when it was cool to want to be the President? Does each decade of the last 40 year match the President that served? Does Kevin Kline look like George H.W Bush?

On this episode of Parenting Is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg talks with writer and producer Gideon Evans about raising two teenagers while building a career in comedy that's ricocheted from scrappy theater internships to six years at The Daily Show. Gideon shares the surreal early days of hustling in Manhattan—once driving Frank Langella around in his parents' station wagon to pick up a giant painted portrait of the actor—before landing staff jobs with health insurance just in time for a grueling two-to-three-year IVF process that included being dropped by a clinic worried about its “numbers” and producing a sample in his endocrinologist father-in-law's office. The conversation moves easily between the practical math of raising kids in Brooklyn, the relief of finally getting dental insurance in middle age, and college tours at McGill University and Concordia University as his son explores art and coding. Gideon also revisits his formative years working for Michael Moore on TV Nation, including the time he snuck into Walt Disney World dressed as an eight-foot “corporate crime fighting” chicken to confront executives about labor conditions—only to be detained, photographed as both man and poultry, and officially banned for “chicken in the park.” The episode closes with the origin story of his meticulously researched podcast Bad Elizabeth, where each installment profiles a notorious Elizabeth—from Lizzie Borden to Elizabeth Holmes—proving that even after being hauled into Disney jail, he still has the trespass notice that literally lists his offense as “chicken in the park.”

In den 80ern dominierte über Jahre kein anderes Spielzeug so sehr den Markt wie die Actionfiguren der Masters of the Universe aus dem Hause Mattel. Es folgt ein sehr erfolgreicher Cartoon, nebst Zeichentrickkinofilm und die Kasen klingeln weiter. Was liegt da näher, als He-Man, den stärksten Mann des Universums, auch in einer Realverfilmung auf die große Leinwand zu bringen.

On the eve of 2026 come hang with the Erotic Thriller Club as the ball gag drops! We're ringing in the new year right with the Madonna/Willem Dafoe classic Body of Evidence. Finally we will know the answer to “is it illegal to bang a man to death?”

Velcome to the second part of our Dracula show. In part one we looked at the tortious route from book to screen.  Now we examine the films that resulted from all that work. . The English language Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Here we talk about: - Lugosi's performance. - The odd journey to the UK (and why it looks speeded up) - Dwight Frye's performance as Renfield - The censorship cuts  - The director controversy - And much more  Then to the Spanish language version which is 30 minutes longer.  But is it better? We discuss in detail. Finally, we talk about the 1970's revival of the original play and how that led to the Frank Langella version in 1979.

Today Matt and Todd welcome frequent collaborator Mike to discuss another childhood horror classic.In 1979 we were treated to a Universal remake of their 1931 classic: Dracula, directed by the great John Badham and starring: Frank Langella as Dracula Lawrence Olivier as Abraham Van Helsing Kate Nelligan as Lucy Seward, Donald Pleasance as Jack Seward Whit Bissell Award Winners Janine Druvitski as asylum patient Annie, Jan Francis as Lucy and Tony Haygarth as Renfield.This retelling of Bram Stoker's gothic classic makes some changes to the story we remember, but you get what you came for, including a tremendous score by legend John Williams. A worthy successor to the 1931 classic, even if not our favorite, it offers its own haunting scenes and terrific performances that keep us rewatching.Follow Matt:Matt has over 100+ on LetterboxdYou can reach out on Bluesky: @MovieMattSirois Terrible movies often find him, even under under the alias Marcus at ⁠⁠⁠Movie Asylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful.Follow who we follow: ⁠⁠⁠Once Upon a Geek⁠⁠⁠ and  ⁠⁠⁠The Fade Out Podcast⁠

In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian do the unthinkable, the unfathomable...they decided to watch another Dracula movie! Yes, you read that correctly and yes, right after just tackling Full Moon's Subspecies on their Patreon!!! This time around these brave podcasters dipped into the drug blood and finally watched Frank Langella's Dracula from 1979. The FM3 have long been curious about the fabled "Disco Dracula" only to learn the cold hard undead truth. So grab your garlic and find a nice comfy seat as Forever Midnight dig into what some say is maybe the most seductive, charming and sinister Count Dracula.   

Grab your tastiest sandwich and try not to spoil Twin Peaks as we return to Deep Space 9 with an all-DS9 extravaganza. We're talking about the opening three-parter of season two of Deep Space Nine which, unlike the Augment three-parter of Enterprise we covered (Episode Title- We Have Wrath of Khan at Home), we're discussing and placing on the Big List as one single entry and not three seperate ones. Watch as in ‘The Homecoming,' Kira goes off to rescue Bajor's greatest resistance fighter and gets no end of grief for it, then we see that Odo has an actual friend while Kira has one of those awkward naked dreams while uncovering Bajoran nationalists in ‘The Circle' and then the simmering Bajoran nonsence ends up in some Die Hard antics on the Station as our heroes must endure ‘The Siege' where this should hopefully wrap up. No Vedek Winn's were harmed during the making of these episodes for which we are deeply sorry.EPISODES DISCUSSED: ‘The Homecoming' (11:25), ‘The Circle' (35:11) and ‘The Siege' (56:11)This used to be a TNG episode, Bajoran nonsense, Twin Peaks references (some spoilers removed) the DS9 novel mentioned last episode, Odo pranking Quark, Miles prefers Sisko with no beard, the Return of Grappler Zorn and a digression into G.I.Joe, Frank Langella aka Skeletor, Sisko's better at the ‘We're with Starfleet, we don't lie' than Wesley, Odo has a friend-an actual friend (cue references to ‘The Inbetweeners', Vedek Winn would unapologetically tweet ‘Thoughts and Prayers', The Prime Directive is poorly written legislation, we do a Die-Hard, Bashir would have a pith helmet, Deep Space Nine still working out what it can do and it feels that the Bajor stuff falls by the wayside with much larger threats, Krim wants to be Sisko's big rival, this is all too neat in resolution.

Mark and John discuss the 1987 fantasy epic Masters of the Universe (1987).

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week, we're paging through the murky corridors of mystery, rare books, and Satanic secrets with Roman Polanski's atmospheric thriller The Ninth Gate (1999). Adapted from Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novel The Club Dumas, the film stars Johnny Depp as Dean Corso, a rare book dealer whose latest assignment drags him deep into a web of occult intrigue.Setting the Scene: Leather Bindings and Hidden SymbolsDean Corso is a sleazy but skilled rare book expert hired by the wealthy and enigmatic Boris Balkan (Frank Langella) to authenticate one of the few remaining copies of The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows, a 17th-century tome said to summon the Devil himself. Balkan believes only one of the copies is genuine, and he tasks Corso with traveling across Europe to examine all three. As Corso delves deeper, people connected to the books start turning up dead, and he finds himself pursued by cultists, a mysterious woman with supernatural abilities (Emmanuelle Seigner), and his own growing paranoia.Part noir detective story, part supernatural thriller, The Ninth Gate moves at a deliberately slow pace, building dread and unease through long shadows, whispered dialogue, and a creeping sense of danger. The mystery surrounding the book's origin and the authenticity of its illustrations becomes Corso's obsession. Each encounter along his journey offers new clues—or misdirections—about the book's true purpose, and whether the devil himself is guiding Corso's path.The film culminates in a quiet but unsettling resolution that subverts expectations. It's less about explosive revelations and more about slow, unnerving transformation, with Corso's character gradually shifting from skeptic to something far more… initiated.At its core, The Ninth Gate explores the timeless Faustian dilemma—how far one will go in pursuit of forbidden knowledge. Corso is less driven by belief than by greed and curiosity, but his journey reveals how seductive and consuming power can be. The book becomes a mirror reflecting the soul of each seeker, with deadly results for those who aren't worthy—or perhaps not wicked enough.Not one for younger viewers, this is a slow-burn adult thriller with a strong sense of place and purpose. The Ninth Gate rewards patience and attention, especially for fans of mysteries, the occult, or anyone who's ever gotten lost in a bookshop and wondered what might be lurking in the rarest of volumes.So light a candle, pour a brandy, and dust off your first edition—because The Ninth Gate invites you into a world where stories hold secrets and books just might bite back.

Returning from our unofficial hiatus, we continue our series on Oliver Stone. The early 1980s saw the release of a few films written by Stone that centered upon violent antiheroes. We talk about John Milius and his clash of visions with Stone over the approach to mysticism in 1982's Conan the Barbarian. Next, Scarface and The Year of the Dragon both unsuccessfully grasp toward Stone's political turn, while the much higher quality Salvador (1986) is the movie that truly brings Stone into his own as a filmmaker. Analyzing the insights and limitations of Salvador's critique of the CIA, we consider how its protagonist (journalist Richard Boyle, played by James Woods) reflects Stone's evolving approach to masculinity and to the legacy of the counterculture.   https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com  If you enjoy Psyop Cinema, check out Cultural Engineering Studies magazine - https://decoding-culture.com/product/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-1-print/ CORRECTION: Tony's boss in Scarface was played by Robert Loggia, rather than Frank Langella

Matthew Broderick plays a mouse and it's surprisingly not the worst part of The Tale of Despereaux. Nostalgia Critic takes a look at this awkward little flick. The Tale of Despereaux is a 2008 animated adventure comedy film directed by Sam Fell and Rob Stevenhagen (in his feature directorial debut). It is based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Kate DiCamillo.

Macy, Tracey Ullman, Emma Watson and Ciarán Hinds. Animation was provided by Framestore Animation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Do you remember that phase of the internet where everything was about pirates? Like everyone would mention when it's talk like a pirate day and things like that.

It and Show Girls killed the studio that made it. Geena Davis is the daughter of a pirate captain. Her dad is one of three pirates that has a map to a massive buried treasure.

We'll learn about that from the 2015 Robert Zemeckis film "The Walk." Finally, we'll learn about President Nixon's (Frank Langella) resignation from August 8th, 1974 as it was shown in the Ron Howard film "Frost/Nixon."

Darkness Radio presents: Bram Stoker: Father Of Dracula with Researcher/Author/Filmmaker, Dacre Stoker! Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of the most successful novels in history. The tale of the evil Count has thrilled and fascinated people since its publication in 1897.  The novel has never been out of print and has been translated into thirty languages and sold in over a hundred and twenty countries worldwide. Count Dracula is now regarded as one of the most famous fictional characters in history.  The image of the undead vampire as a symbol of evil is now firmly embedded in our collective consciousness, thanks to Stoker. Paradoxically, Dracula has also become a symbol of forbidden lust thanks to the later portrayals of the character by Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, and Frank Langella.  But what of Bram Stoker, the man behind the creation? Sadly, he left no autobiography and precious little first-hand source material for us to better understand his life and inspirations for his writing of Dracula.  However, by examining his private journals, notes, and the memories of those who knew him we can piece together an account of his life and learn much about the man who became the father of Dracula. Dacre Stoker Joins Darkness Radio today to describe how he, filmmaker Jason Figgis. and author and screenwriter, John West are putting together that documentary of Bram Stoker's life titled, "Father Of Dracula". Stoker also tells us how we can help get  it to the finish line through a 60 day crowdsourcing campaign through  Indiegogo! Find out more about Dacre Stoker here:  http://dacrestoker.com/about/ Find out how you can help get "Father Of Dracula" over the finish line through Indigogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bram-stoker-father-of-dracula#/ The Stokerverse is on Facebook!  Check out the different merch here: https://www.facebook.com/StokerMcAuley Dacre Stoker will be at Michigan Paracon!
