"TELL ME ABOUT THE LONELINESS OF PODCASTING, HE-MAN..."
Alan and Rob are joined once again by friend of the podcast & Caped Wonder Europe’s own Martin Lakin to take another sneaky look under the counter at the movie stash behind the bar at Bibbo’s ‘Ace o’ Clubs’.
This time they examine Cannon's 1987’s classic, ‘Masters of the Universe’ starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella, the movie based on the classic 80’s Mattel toyline of the same name.
Hear about the dramatic behind the scenes turmoil which caused the production to shut down mid shoot, why exactly the film so negatively effected Superman IV and most importantly the origins of PIGBOY!!!
Is this picture the closest we ever got to a Christopher Reeve era New Gods film? You’ll have to tune your cosmic key to the All Star Superfan frequency to find out!

WELCOME TO BIBBO'S B-MOVIES! Home of the lesser-loved (and just generally lesser) superhero movies of yesteryear! Rob and Alan shepherd in this new side-show with the help of long time friend of the podcast Stuart Mulrain from 'And Why Not' and this week we're haphazardly freethrowing our thoughts and takes regarding the ill-fated "STEEL" movie from 1997 starring none other than Shaquille O'Neal and directed by 'Incredible Hulk' alum Kenneth Johnson.
Why does Steel look like he bought his armour at Party City? What has John Henry Irons got against veterans' hospitals? Do Superman and Batman exist in this world? Who designed Judd Nelson's insane leather jacket? All of these questions and more are discussed and disseminated in a decidedly ruder ep than usual (possibly not one for the kiddos!)
