Finally, Gary explains why he ultimately decided to make The Path of Torment available for free on YouTube, allowing a new generation of horror fans and aspiring filmmakers to discover the project.

    Gary Talks Masters Of The Universe
    Jun 4 2026
    In this episode of Gary Talks, Gary celebrates the release of Amazon MGM Studios' highly anticipated fantasy epic Masters of the Universe, directed by Travis Knight and based on the iconic Mattel toy line and Filmation animated television series that helped define a generation of pop culture fans. Gary takes a nostalgic journey back to Eternia, sharing his memories of growing up with He-Man, Skeletor, Battle Cat, Castle Grayskull, and the legendary Masters of the Universe action figures that became one of Mattel's biggest toy franchises of the 1980s. He also looks back at the beloved Filmation cartoon that transformed the toy line into a worldwide phenomenon and helped make He-Man one of the most recognizable characters in entertainment history. Finally, Gary reviews the new Masters of the Universe film. Does this latest adaptation finally deliver the epic live-action He-Man adventure fans have been waiting decades to see? Or does it fall short like the 1987 Canon Films adaptation starring Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Courteney Cox, and Robert Duncan McNeill? Is Masters of the Universe one of the surprise hits of the summer movie season, or another missed opportunity for one of pop culture's most enduring franchises.
