Thanks to an invitation from director Robert Michael Ryan and publicist Sean Decker, I made my way over to the red carpet premiere of Popeye the Slayer Man last night. Aside from the chance to meet Ryan and Jason Stephens face to face, it was a fun evening feeling that excitement of cast and crew getting to hear public reaction for the first time. Plus hearing that banger of a theme song booming through a theater — nice!

Thus, here are some moments from the red carpet world premiere of Popeye the Slayer Man, including interviews with stars Joel Frometa, Sarah Nicklin, Steven McCormack, and Sean Michael Conway! Also, Popeye portrayer Jason Stephens may have biceps bigger than my head.

Popeye the Slayer Man arrives in limited theatrical release as well as VOD everywhere March 21, 2025, courtesy of Vantage Media. The team also mentioned that a blu-ray release will happen, which is terrific news.
