Sry nostalgia critic but . . . Agree to disagree. (No hard feelings and love your other videos but this one, sry.) First off I believe the film earth setting was in California and that Julie was moving to NJ. As bad in several elements as this movie may be (being a Cannon Film) it still has nostalgic re-watch value (and obviously enough for you to make a video about it ;) ) And if you think of it, this is more Skeletors film than it is HeMan's, which makes this story more unique in the fact that he's pulling all the strings in hopes that he not only defeats HeMan finally, but makes him submit so as not to make him a saint. If that's not a crafty and excellent villain motive, I dunno what is. And who better than Langella. All that aside, I get it. Not a great film as far as filmmaking goes, but still nostalgic being the first film I remember seeing on the big screen as a kid in the 80s. PS you forgot to mention how epic the score was hahaha.

An article in the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department in June 1918 said: The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl. Pink was set for Boys until the late 40's. It became the color of girls after WW2.

Later I found about the shows that came on afterwards like Sherlock Holmes In the 22nd Century and Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego. Later I decided to visit the channel again and watch He-Man, but when I got to the time it was usually on, it wasn't on. I waited an hour or two more, and still nothing. I was distraught as hell.
