234 – Pop Culture Roundup

Episode Description from the Publisher

Here’s my thoughts on three upcoming adaptations of children’s stories. First, the preview trailer for the new Little House on the Prairie adaptation by Netflix looks like it might actually be . . . Good??? Also, it sounds like those rumors about HBO considering turning Lord Voldemort into Lady Voldemort might have some truth to it (ugh). And to wrap up, I react to a new featurette that’s been released about the upcoming Masters of the Universe adaptation and I’m feeling reassured, because they put to rest any idea that He-Man’s healthy brand of masculinity will be smeared as “toxic” in this adaptation.
