Back in the 1930's Universal Studios pioneered the idea of a shared cinematic universe after creating a series on now iconic horror films including Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf-Man and The Mummy. These became known as the Universal Monsters, and over the years ended up being some of the most well-known depictions of the characters that are still recognized today.
So, seeing as it's October and almost Halloween, this episode we delve into the Universal Monster world, looking at some of the more popular films, the remakes and copy-cats they have spawned, and even the failed attempts to re-boot the franchise.

Back in the early 80's, just a few years before He-Man hit our TV screens, there was another blonde muscleman with a sword gracing our Saturday mornings. That man was "Thundarr the Barbarian", and is the topic of our T episode of the A to Z.
We discuss our memories of the show, discuss the plot and characters, as well as a bit of history of the creators and the Ruby-Spears Productions story.
