Masters of the Universe (1987) - Mastodon watch party this Sunday evening!

Masters of the Universe (1987) is the subject of this Sunday's "monsterdon" watch party over on Mastodon, our fediverse sibling!

Just start watching that movie this Sunday, Feb 9, 2025 at 9pm ET / 8pm CT / 6pm PT, which is 2am Monday UTC
and follow #monsterdon over on mastodon for live commentary. For example, you can follow that hashtag here: https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon
I usually open two web browser windows on a computer side-by-side. But you could follow the mastodon commentary on a phone app while watching the movie on TV or something...

How to watch the movie:

someone plans to stream it on https://miru.miyaku.media/ at that time
if you're in North America, Australia, or the UK try Tubi (uBlockOrigin adblocker worked there, last I checked): https://tubitv.com/movies/466377/masters-of-the-universe

youtube WARNING: someone posted it there split into a playlist of 10-15 minute videos, but it's missing one whole section of the movie

Tom Paris was in this? I had no idea. I need to rewatch.

awesome

I usually post this announcement on !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world but this week's Monsterdon is ~~so clearly a superior A-list movie that...~~ well OK I wouldn't go that far, but it's not as bad as most B-movies.
See what happened is: every week people on mastodon (the fediverse twitter replacement) get together for a B-movie watch party usually focused on monsters. But for the last two weeks, the movies have not just campy but a little more bad than expected. So this week they played it safe and picked a slightly better movie than usual.
Anyway, it's a lot of fun, it's got nostalgia value, it's meme-worthy, it's got Dolph "Rocky IV / Creed II" Lundgren, Courtney "Friends" Cox, and Oscar-nominee Frank Lagella, and here's your chance to watch it along with a bunch of wits and miscreants from across the fediverse. So only one question remains: Do you have the power?
- Thanks!
