Doty, take this down. This is the episode where Taryon Darrington (Wayne Brady) proves his worth leading Vox Machima home. While  Percy (Taliesin Jaffe) and Grog (Travis Willingham) keep his father at bay in a game of chance by pulling from a Deck of Many Things (leading to one of the funniest one-off closing lines of the series), Taryon takes the group to the mines mistakenly believing his father is innocent of all the chicanery afoot. Confronting his parental issues, Taryon proves instrumental in the travelers’ victory earning him an official spot on the team. Other fun moments include Pike‘s (Ashley Johnson) fake pregnancy and a callback to the previous season with an appearance by the skull of Umbrasyl.

Adam and the Masters of the Universe

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Masters of the Universe (2026)
  • IMDb: link

The first live-action Masters of the Universe film since 1987, the new film makes notable upgrades in allowing most of the plot to unfold on Eternia (although we do get stuck on Earth for a large section of Act I), throw in more of oddball characters of the franchise (although not as many as you may be expecting), and (perhaps a little too much) discuss who has the power of Grayskull. It’s a more accurate film in honoring the toys and animated series that captured kids’ attention in the 1980s, but is it a better film?

1987 – Masters of the Universe

/ / Home Video
  • Title: Masters of the Universe (1987)
  • IMDb: link

A disaster so complete it would torpedo the franchise which would wait nearly 40 years for another live-action adaptation, 1987’s Masters of the Universe is a mess of a film that does provide some guilty pleasure vibes in how nearly everyone involved in the enterprise completely misunderstood the assignment. Based on the 80s toy line, and largely ignoring the popular animated series, the film takes He-Man (Dolph Lundgren), Man-At-Arms (Jon Cypher), Teela (Chelsea Field), and Gwildor (Billy Barty) as the first of many substitute characters never seen before, to small town America.
