Alan and Rob reunite after a lengthy hiatus, tiptoeing away from the DC Universe to discuss whether or not Travis Knight’s “Masters of the Universe” has the power.
Did the film live up to Alan’s nostalgia for the Filmation cartoon and all the toys? Did Fisto and Ram Man live up to the source material? What about Alan’s daughter’s reaction? As a childless newcomer who didn’t grow up with MotU, was there anything here for Rob? Plus, we consider the film’s lukewarm box office and whether or not this spells doom for the future of the franchise.
Later, the lads discuss the triumphant return of Agent 007 to the world of videogames in “007 First Light.” We take a look back at the history of Bond in gaming from Timothy Dalton’s “lost” third film “James Bond: The Duel” for Sega Genesis, through the multitude of successful 3D games for N64, PlayStation and beyond, including legendary games like “Goldeneye,” “007 Nightfire” and “Everything or Nothing.”
How does the new game stack up against the classics? Does the game’s decision to retell the origin of 007 pay off? How did James Bond impact Alan’s love of Christ?
