NEEDLESS THINGS PODCAST 170 – MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE NEEDLESS COMMENTARY

Who will possess the Power of Greyskull?

I was thrilled to join Phantom Troublemaker and his Needless Things Irregulars (Beau Brown, Arian Gulick, and Ryan Cadaver) in the Phantom Zone for this episode as we re-watch and discuss 1987's Masters of the Universe movie. Does it hold up? Is it better than we remember? How awesome is Frank Langella as Skeletor? Is that Star Trek Voyager's Tom Paris Living In A Box? All these questions and more are answered in this thrilling episode of the Needless Things podcast. Good journey.

Your panelists.

Bobby Nash joined The Phantom Troublemaker, Gary Mitchel, and Noel Wood on the American Sci Fi Classics panel at Dragon Con to discuss G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. We had a great time with a fantastic audience. Now, you can hear the panel for yourself in episode 12 of the Needless Things Podcast, which you can find here.

YO, JOE!!!

Yo, Joe!

From The Phantom Troublemaker’s show notes:
Finally, I was on a GI Joe panel, too. This is the one I was the most excited about because GI Joe was my big childhood thing. The cartoons, the comics, the toys. All of it. I don’t think there is another franchise that I have embraced as fully except for maybe Doctor Who (it’s a close race between Doctor Who, GI Joe, and Star Wars).

I had a truly elite special mission force for this one – Gary Mitchel, ESO’s own Award Winning Bobby Nash, and my pal Gnoll; a virtual repository of 80s information. We had a great time talking A Real

And now, through the magic of computering, you too can take part! Listen now as we visit the Hall of Heroes to look back on America’s
