Rob London

A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he’s an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, ’70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, ’90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they’re good, and maybe even more when they’re bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed “Canuxploitation.”

An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

After its theatrical run, last summer’s fantasy epic Masters of the Universe has become a streaming smash on Prime Video. That means more and more people are hearing the movie’s stirring soundtrack, featuring the artistry of Daniel Pemberton and Brian May. Now, that soundtrack is coming to vinyl for the first time ever, and Collider is proud to exclusively reveal a first look at the set before it hits stores early next year.

The 1980s-inspired soundtrack for Masters of the Universe was composed by Pemberton, the composer for films like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Project Hail Mary. Several tracks feature guitar from legendary **Queen **guitarist May, who uses the same “Red Special” guitar that he used on most of Queen’s classic hits. One track, “A Job for He-Man,” homages the classic 1980s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon theme music.

The new two-LP edition of the soundtrack, from Lakeshore Records, will include 34 tracks of Pemberton’s score across its two discs, with both records pressed on “Golden Flame” vinyl. It also features the movie’s theme song, “Masters of the Universe,” by British rock band The Darkness. The set comes packaged in a gatefold sleeve with multiple full-color inserts. The two-LP set will be available in January 2027 and can be pre-ordered now at LakeshoreRecordsShop.com. A deluxe edition of the soundtrack on vinyl will be available later in 2027 from Mutant.

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Nicholas Galitzine stars as Adam, prince of the techno-magical planet Eternia, who has been exiled to Earth after his homeworld was conquered by the skull-faced sorcerer Skeletor (Jared Leto). Years later, he finds his long-lost Sword of Power and returns to a devastated planet ruled by Skeletor’s monstrous legions. Now, with the help of weapons master Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), warrior woman Teela (Camila Mendes), and the mechanical Roboto (Kristen Wiig), Adam calls upon the power of Castle Grayskull to become the all-powerful He-Man. However, he’ll need more than raw power alone to triumph over Skeletor’s evil. Directed by Travis Knight (Wildwood), the film is based on the long-running series of action figures, cartoons, and comic books from Mattel.

The Masters of the Universe soundtrack will be available on “Golden Flame” vinyl in January 2027, and can be pre-ordered from Lakeshore Records now. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
