Episode 82: The Return of Orko’s Uncle

Azrog and Spydra in "The Return of Orko's Uncle" as reviewed by The Wizard's Nightshirt, a He-Man and She-Ra podcast.

Well, you all asked for it! “More Orko,” you said. “More Montork. Anything with Trolla.” Your voices carried, like Zoar’s scream, throughout the land. And, so, we present: “The Return of Orko’s Uncle.

But, seriously, Will wanted to review this episode because of the incredible villains, who make their only appearance – in this story. We’re talking about Azrog, a blue egghead in sorcerer rags, and Spyrdra, a glam-rock witch, whose grating voices might thwart even the strongest warriors in Eternia. Our palace friends will try to stop them anyway. He-Man, Teela and Orko join Montork in his quest to take down the dastardly pair in a tale that involves magic beans, transport beams, lots of mind control and some interesting hands-off battle strategy from He-Man. Oh, and an amazing contribution from Teela.

But that’s not all! We also debut the first piece in an ongoing segment that we’re calling “Basement Update with Scott.” We also talk about uncles and Tide Pods. Press that play button.
