Karg didn't get his own action figure when the 1987 'Masters Of The Universe' movie came out.

With that magnificent hair, Mattel missed a trick there....

YouTube video by PopSmash! Cult Movies & Pop Culture Why did Masters Of The Universe flop? It wasn't really He-Man.

Masters of the Universe (1987) was a flop, this retrospective asks why - & also contains:

- Courtney Cox in terrible nightwear
- A suggested addition to Mattel's Barbie range
- And fixing some scenes using unimpressive, ultra-low tech visual effects

The 1967 film 'Son of Godzilla' is best known for having some of the least popular Godzilla suits of the entire franchise.

Check out my retrospective/review here: youtu.be/FsBU30Jeglo

YouTube video by PopSmash! Cult Movies & Pop Culture It's manic, it's bonkers, it's high-energy. K-Pop Demon Hunters is anything but boring

K-Pop Demon Hunters isn't what I'd usually go for.
I was expecting derivative crap...

But that’s not what Kpop Demon Hunters is - it’s a well written, well crafted film. And it's original - it's not a sequel, or wringing out the dregs of an already bled-dry cinematic universe

He ain't the prettiest Godzilla, but he's perhaps not the worse one in the film!

YouTube video by PopSmash! Cult Movies & Pop Culture Do you want to punch Baby G in the face? Or is this a worthy Godzilla title?

"It really isn't that bad - and has some moments worth celebrating"
It also has one of the *BEST* creature creations in all of Godzilla.

Ooooof!

Godzilla takes one to the face in 'Invasion of Astromonster'!

YouTube video by PopSmash! Cult Movies & Pop Culture 28 Days Later: Spattered with as much heart & humour, as it is blood

28 Days Later - the film which breathed new life into Zombies in modern culture...

It's an example of excellent film making. Boyle's choice to use a digital camera back around 2001 has resulted in a lo-res film, but that unique look enhances the film.

My retrospective: youtu.be/ixFb-Svesm4

You are very kind, thank you.

Thank you too all who have subscribed to my Youtube channel dedicated to reviewing pop-culture gems - usually Kaiju films, B-movies, & genre titles.

I know 300 isn't a lot for a Youtube channel, but I'm honestly humbled that some people take the time to watch them.

In my retrospective of "28 Days Later" I look at the camera choice (1990s digital camera) and my concerns over a 4K release. It may be lo-res and and dirty - but it's beautiful BECAUSE of that!

In Boyle we trust!

YouTube video by PopSmash! Cult Movies & Pop Culture 28 Days Later: Spattered as much with heart & humour, as it is blood

A directing masterclass, the more I watch this the more I appreciate Danny Boyle's creative choices. The film is beautifully shot and Boyle demonstrates that artistry counts for more than big budgets and the best tech.

youtu.be/ixFb-Svesm4

I surprise myself at how many of my thoughts and conversations start with "in the event of a zombie apocalypse I'd...".

I'm almost wishing it to happen now!

This is on my ever expanding watchlist!

This is a great piece of art, love the colours!

YouTube video by PopSmash! Cult Movies & Pop Culture Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (aka: Godzilla Vs the Sea Monster)

Godzilla gets involved in an espionage romp in Ebirah, Horror of the Deep.

In this retrospective I look at how Godzilla was a replacement for King Kong who was meant to feature in this film. Is Ebiraha decent foe? or just a massive prawn/lobster thing?

youtu.be/aBLuP79b8-M

Yeah, the main problem is that it follows a piece of landmark cinema which works brilliantly as a standalone movie. It was never going to compare favourably, but it still deserves some love!

YouTube video by PopSmash! Cult Movies & Pop Culture Godzilla Raids Again (1955): More than just a monster mash ...a surprisingly decent sequel.

The destruction of Osaka castle, mass evacuations, and one of the BEST visual effects sequence of *any* of the Godzilla movies.

Godzilla Raids Again (1955) seems to be the ignored sequel - but it has so much to offer.

My retrospective: youtu.be/c19cihKz-aI

Milky Norks!!! Ha ha ha!!

Carrie Fisher features "The Time Guardian" - in my retrospective I point out some of the obvious Star Wars-esque things I noticed, but I bet there's more!

My video here: youtu.be/MSbnDPMICUs

A shot of Kong's "milky eyes" in King Kong vs Godzilla...

My review/retrospective here: youtu.be/M39CL13seiM

Yes - same. There was additional footage too shot which wasn't used in the film showing chunks of Godzilla flesh which was growing teeth. Though I love Minus 1, I feel cheated out of a really amazing Shin sequel!

Absolutely fantastic film.
