By the Power of Greyskull! – He-Man Deep Dive

This week on Old Mates New Laughs, we raise our swords and shout “BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!” as we dive headfirst into the world of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.We kick things off with the classic cartoon — our memories of it, whether it was actually any good, and how much of it is just pure nostalgia doing the heavy lifting. From iconic villains (yes, Skeletor is the GOAT, but who else deserves a shout?) to the best sidekicks, standout episodes, and those incredibly on-the-nose moral lessons at the end of each show… we cover it all.Then we turn our attention to the legendary 1987 live-action film — a movie that may or may not have anything to do with He-Man at all. We break down the best parts (spoiler: Skeletor is carrying HARD), the worst parts (there are many), and answer the big question… is it actually so bad it’s good?We wrap things up with a quick look at the newer He-Man film and whether the franchise still has the power in 2026.Expect nostalgia, chaos, questionable takes, and at least one passionate rant about a man in a fur loincloth.If you're enjoying what we're doing and want to help us grow — our goal is to of become an on-camera podcast — you can now support us via Ko-Fi (totally optional, massively appreciated), here's the link should you feel inclined...https://ko-fi.com/oldmatesnewlaughsYou can also follow us on our social media accounts here...Website - https://shows.acast.com/old-mates-new-laughs-podcastFacebook - www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572709568634Instagram - www.instagram.com/oldmatesnewlaughs/?hl=enTwtter (X) - x.com/OMNLpodcastBlue-Sky - bsky.app/profile/oldmatesnewlaughs.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.
