Podcasts about he man and the masters of the universe

In this "Boys' Toys" episode of our two-part TOYS OF SUMMER podcast, we revisit icons ranging from Zack the Lego Maniac to Sergeant Slaughter in remembrance of the toys we played with in the 80s and 90s that were marketed primarily to boys. As it turns out, some of our favorite cartoons from childhood were more than meets the eye - they were advertisements in disguise, created explicitly to get us to buy plastic playthings! The toy-to-TV-show trend kicked off with Hasbro's relaunch of its G.I. JOE action figures in 1982, rebranded as the “Real American Hero” in a corresponding animated series. It was soon followed by action figure juggernauts HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE and THE TRANSFORMERS. Using bulging muscles, explosive hardware, and cartoon violence to appeal to young boys, these series often wrapped up with a wholesome life lesson to balance out the mayhem (before cutting to a commercial break encouraging us to buy the latest bazooka-toting action figures). Along the way, we touch on other toys marketed mainly to boys during this era, including Hot Wheels, Nerf, Tonka Trucks, and Super Soaker - and of course, share thoughts on 1986's TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE and how the death of Optimus Prime traumatized a whole generation of youngsters. With the fabulous secrets of our favorite toy brands revealed to us, do any of these products still have the power? Or do companies like Hasbro and Mattel just look like Decepticons to us now? With movies like BARBIE and TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS in theaters this summer, it's the perfect time to reconsider the lessons we learned from toy-branded cartoons and commercials in the 80s and 90s. Because now we know that the cartoons we loved as kids were a total sham — and knowing is half the battle! (This episode may contain a choking hazard for children under 3.

How did it happen? Brian and Mandy try to make sense of the possibility that Spider-Man is no longer part of the MCU. Also, they discuss Apple jumping into the streaming wars with both feet (and deep pockets). 00:38 – Apple TV+ has started grabbing headlines with the trailers for three of their original productions. THE MORNING SHOW with Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, and Reese Witherspoon, which explores ageism and sexism in talk shows; FOR ALL MANKIND, which gives us an alternate version of the history of moon landing; and SEE starring Jason Momoa, where the world goes blind in the future. 05:00 - Brian and Mandy discuss the huge budget for each episode of these shows and whether three original series would be enough for Apple TV+ to grab new subscribers. 11:46 – Netflix is back in the remake game with Kevin Smith helming a sequel to the 80s animation series, HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. Brian and Mandy mourn the cancellation of SHEERA and wonder if it had something to do with He-Man coming back to screen. 14:46 – YouTube has now released many of its original content, like COBRA KAI, from behind paywalls. From 24th August, viewers can watch these shows for free, though YouTube Red subscribers still get some added bonuses. 16:39 – Keanu Reeves is set to star in MATRIX 4, the sequel that nobody asked for. Brian and Mandy wonder if he intends to remake all his movies from past decades. 19:06 – And finally, we discuss Disney and Sony's fight over Spider-man. Brian explains the details of how Sony came to exit negotiations, and we discuss whether Sony can go it alone without Marvel. Brian speculates that the audience response to FAR FROM HOME's re-release might decide Sony's fate in this war.

Michael goes back in time again this week and takes a look at the theme song from the various animated series that Filmation (you know, the HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE people) did between 1966 and 1969. While they are not as catchy as the Marvel themes of the same time period they do have some historical significance. This was the first time that characters outside of Superman were animated. Ok, that sounds like Michael is trying to justify himself and maybe he is a little bit, but listen anyway. And sorry about some of the dodgy audio towards the middle.
