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! This episode - the "She-Demon of Phantos"! Skeletor brainwashes a powerful woman into doing his bidding. Typical.  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??" (And yes, you can actually buy the figures that we are selling at unpreciousstudios.com/castlepodskull . They're not cheap - but they're also not good!)

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 VERY weird and unusual "SONG OF CELICE" episode, which features a beautiful singer with a nightmarish voice, a Great Old One living beneath the mantle of the Earth, and a herpy bunny entity conjured into existence for one brief, agonizing moment.
