Castle Podskull

Join Thom (Prof X-Ennial) and Kevin (Fan-At-Arms) in discussing every episode of the 1980s Filmation cartoon classic - THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE! We discuss if this episode of the show beloved in our childhood is as RAD or as MANLY as we remember it, or if it's instead CHEEZY or INAPPROPRIATE or maybe even a touch HOMOEROTIC? We also explore the MORAL LESSON of the show - and most importantly, "what ACTION FIGURE does it make us want to buy??" This episode - THE SHAPING STAFF, episode 19 of the original Filmation cartoon. This is a very special one because it features Faker for the first time. But also Evil-Lyn looking smoking hot. And Randor, Orko and Teela getting turned into random animals. It's a good time!
