Today I’m talkin’ all things HE-MAN and the Masters of the Universe! As a LEGIT 80’s kid who was obsessed with the toys and the TV show I’m giving you the “no BS” talk about the franchise and where it’s at today! Can this new film top the 80’s version?! Does 2026 HE-MAN need steroids?!…

I headed down to Puerta Vallarta and realized that near by was the OG jungle set of one of the greatest action horror sci-fi film of ALL time, 1987’s PREDATOR!! So I got my camo on and headed straight into the jungle to check it out! Come join me as I visit the nostalgic location…

If you’re like me and are totally obsessed with monsters then I’ve got a great recommendation for you! 1993’s ‘KAMEN RIDER ZO’ Is a short & sweet, bizarre little super hero adventure that packs a monstrous punch to the gut. Clocking in at around 50 minutes, it wastes no time getting to the action and…

Cowabunga dude!!! I’ve been saying it for years, they need to bring back the 1990’s practical fx Jim Henson Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!

The Peacock King is easily one of the most ambitious hybrid Hong Kong films of the 1980s. It’s part horror, part adventure, part fantasy, part martial arts with just the right amount of comedic timing and 80s pop charm from the director of Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Yes the Movie Melt podcast goes back…

There’s a lot of hype lately around the return of the “EVIL DEAD” franchise with Evil Dead Rise and personally I’m just not feeling the heat so far. Sure it’s kinda neat to see the classic Necronomicon book again onscreen, but at least in the trailer, that’s about the only thing that’s feeling “Evil Dead”…

I’m willing to bet you’re just like me and never heard of this near “forgotten ’til now” 80s gem from Japan: The Legend of The Stardust Brothers! This incredible movie from 1985 is most definitely one of the most unique oddities I’ve stumbled upon in quite sometime. An incredibly ambitious musical gem, packed with practical…
