Ep 232: Masters of the Universe (2026)

It's time to celebrate the film that is our hosts' favorite film of the year! Maybe it's not the best, but we haven't had more fun at the theater this year! Travis Knight knew what he was doing when he made this film. It knew when to be serious, it knew when to be silly, and it he understood the assignment. Before we break down the movie we also choose our top 5 toy/cartoons that need a live action Hollywood film. So grab your swords of power, look out for the crazy HR lady, and saddle up your Battle Cats... it's time for Masters of the Universe on the Movie Defenders podcast!
