Cinemasters of the Universe

Just in time (sort of) for Halloween (but not really) it's our second episode of the Spooktacular! Ok listen folks, we're really trying here. This spooktacular isn't over just because it's full on Christmas season now either. If anything, we'll just start in on the Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise if you make us. But this isn't a trick. This episode is ALL treat. This gem, pun intended, was discovered by Adam during his 31 Days of Horror and brought to life on the podcast by our boys.We proudly present to you the majesty that is Psycho Goreman! So grab your pillowcase of candy, but ditch those razor blades in that Snickers bar first, and listen in to this latest episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

Well, well, well. It has been a minute since we've seen each other, hasn't it? It feels good to be back. And back we are! It's time to get this Spooktacular kicked off right. We're firing things up this year with a Rental King selection that is sure to terrify you. This indie film from earlier this year had all kinds of buzz around it so the Cinemasters are digging in for your Halloween delight. So without any further ado, lets jump in with Ron and Adam on this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!

Welcome back Cinemaster fans for a special episode of the Spooktacular 3.0! This time we've got a very special movie to talk about and an extra Cinemaster Jr. in the house to talk with us. Ron and Adam are talking all things Freddy! No, not that knife gloved madman who stalks you in the dream world. I'm talking the animatronic pizza purveyor who comes for you in real life, though both prefer to work while you're snoozing. Ron took his son Logan to see this movie opening night in theaters so all three of them will be talking all things Five Nights at Freddy's. This is your official warning that there's gonna be some spoilers since this one is brand new. But if you've seen the flick in theaters or on Peacock streaming already, or you just don't care about spoilers as it stands, grab your popcorn and get ready for this Spooktacular installments of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

How fortuitous to have Friday the 13th in the middle of a Spooktacular! After a little break (even Cinemasters need a little recovery time here and there) the Rental King and that fella from the North are back at it with a franchise deep cut this time. Adam's pick is Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter. As luck would have it, the boys were able to record this episode ON Friday the 13th. It would seem the stars have aligned as Ron and Adam sit through this installment in the series and bring you play by play on the film with interesting bits of trivia and full commentary on all things Jason Voorhees. So grab a teddy bear or maybe your favorite machete and cozy up to this episode of Spooktacular Volume 3 of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

The best part of waking up is Bacon on your screen! Welcome back Cinemasters to the third installment of the third annual Spooktacular brought to you exclusively by no one, especially not Vermont Aged White Cheddar. This week we are turning back the clock to when years started with a 1 for a lost classic, Stir of Echoes. In this ghostly tale of murder we find a newly clairvoyant Kevin Bacon communicating beyond the grave with the girl gone missing. In a shining performance along side Katherine Erbe (she's having a baby in real life and in the movie) you'll dig this creepy caper all the way up to it's exciting conclusion. So grab you pop corn, dim the lights and join Ron and Adam for this weeks terrifying tale on the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

We are officially underway in Spooktacular 3.0 and things are starting to really get good. This week the fellas are taking on a pandemic darling known as WIlly's Wonderland. With the resurgence of all things Nicolas Cage, this hidden gem is all kinds of fun. A mute protagonist finds himself stuck between a rock and a murderous pack of satanic robots with nothing but a handful of special sodas and a flair for pinball. Join Ron and Adam as they spend the night at Willy's Wonderland where evil animatronics come to life and try and stop Cage from sprucing up a dilapidated destination pizza place. So grab a slice, put on your party hat and join us in singing “It's your birthday and we want you to have fun!” on this installment of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Well hello again Cinemaster fans and let me officially welcome you to the third annual Spooktacular! Ron and Adam are kicking things off early this year and getting a jump on spooky season as soon as possible. Now that it's September it's time to start busting out hoodies, munching on candy corn and cranking up the scary movies! In the first installment the boys pull out all the stops and offer up a whole new experience with a modern classic horror flick, It Follows. So light up some candles and dim the lights, grab a blanket and some popcorn and join us for a long awaited inaugural opening of the Cinemasters of the Universe Spooktacular!!!

Cowabunga Cinemaster Fans! After a hiatus we are back at it and hitting 2023 hard with a timeless classic, 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And if we are going to do this right, we're going to need a little extra help. This episode brings in Nick “The Prince of Pixels” Wright to help Ron and Adam dive deep into the ooze of this flick. Full of personal stories, interesting trivia and hardcore facts about the film, our reptilian martial arts loving hosts are sure to provide that extra special something you've grown to love. Mind you, this episode will not be under 30 minutes but it's still free so no worries there. So grab your appropriately colored eye mask, according to your corresponding spirit turtle, a slice of your favorite kind of pizza and don't forget your sai, Raph, and join our three ninja masters on this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

If you thought this terror train was coming into the station at the end of October, you're sadly mistaken. Episode 5 of the Spooktacular is underway! And this time we're heading under France into some of the tightest spots the catacombs have to offer. This claustrophobic haunt is a hidden gem of the found footage subgenre and it has so much to offer. Just think of the Blair Witch on steroids and pack it tightly in the literal Parisian underbelly. Join Ron and Adam as they carefully squeeze through this mix of adventure and fright in the latest installment of the ongoing spooktacular in this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

It's week 4 of the Spooktacular and we're off to not-so-sunny Seattle in search of a killer VHS tape! For those of you unfamiliar with VHS, it's how we watched movies back in the day. But a movie that kills you in 7 days is not for the faint of heart. In this installment our Cinemasters are taking on the 2002 US iteration of The Ring. Ron and Adam will introduce you to Rachel, Noah, and Aidan, the second creepiest kid in this movie, as we press on with another frightening feature. Just to be safe you'd better make a copy of this podcast and share it with a friend. So unplug the Magnavox and disconnect the rotary phone as you enjoy this week's episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!.

I see you've braved our first two episodes and are back for a third in this year's Spooktacular. This one certainly is a treat as well. If you've ever been left alone in a room with a fair skinned, ginger haired doll then you've certainly felt that spine tingle that only Chucky can bring. In the highly anticipated sequel to the original Child's Play, The Lakeshore Strangler turned killer doll is back and searching for little Andy Barclay once again. Ron and Adam sit down to discuss this film but as per usual, they give plenty of extra insight into the entire Chucky franchise. So put on your Good Guy overalls, make sure your voodoo skills are up to snuff and enjoy this installment of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Episode two of the third annual Spooktakular means spooky season is in full effect. This week is Adam's first pick with the 2013 mumblegore indie flick “You're Next”. Our Cinemasters both have fresh takes on this film and especially it's Australian Final Girl, Erin. With crossbows and grown up Home Alone traps in place, the boys will negotiate some grisly endings for some very unlikable characters as they dissect this film for you. So grab a meat tenderizer, stay away from the windows and strap in for another extra scary installment of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

It's officially the 3rd Annual Cinemasters Spooktacular! Welcome to our first installment of this year's haunting selection of films. We are kicking it off with Ron's pick of a 2022 horror flick by the esteemed Jordan Peele, “Nope”. Typically in the past we've gone with more classic scary movies so this one does come with an official SPOILER WARNING! This film has been out for several months now but if you haven't seen it yet, the Cinemasters will be going in depth so if you'd rather check it out first then press pause and come back after you've had a chance to watch. Otherwise prepare yourself for the spooky season to officially begin on this latest episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome back once again, Cinemaster fans! It's time for your favorite internet off brand Clerks to bring you their thoughts on the latest and concluding installment in the Randal and Dante trilogy. Spoilers ahead for those who want to enjoy the film first before hearing Ron and Adam's take on the film. Our Cinemasters don't hold back in their ups and downs in this fitting and meta finale. So if you've seen the film yourself and want to know what the Rental King has to say about it or you're just too curious to wait for a showing yourself and can't hold back from that boyish charm of Nighthawk's, then buckle up and enjoy one more trip to Leonardo, NJ for this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome back once again Cinemaster fans to another water cooler episode just in time for the tail end of summer. Blockbuster season is coming to an end, school is getting ready to come back in session and we will head shortly into the “Ber” months. But before we bust out the pumpkin spice, we've got one last summer hurrah to cover. The San Diego Comic Con recently came to a close and this entertainment mecca has unleashed all manner of surprises yet to come. As always Marvel dominated the conversation but in this episode, Ron and Adam will be covering their top ten picks of all things SDCC. So buckle up for a throwback list with some pretty amazing things that the theaters (and other venues) have in store for us on this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome back again, Cinemaster fans! It's been a minute and The Rental King and Nighthawk have plenty to catch you up on. Rather than the normal breakdown of a movie or even a flashback to an old list show, the boys are bringing you up to speed on everything they've been up to in the world of movies. Ron took the fam on a trip down to the Magic Kingdom and experienced some cinematic elements brought to life. Meanwhile, Adam explored an unknown region of social media and fell down the rabbit hole of MovieTok and got hooked on steelbooks. You'll find out all the extras when you tune into this supersized Water Cooler episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Happy April Fools, Cinemaster Fans! For the second year in a row we will be taking this month to salute our favorite fools on film.

Oi, Mate! Welcome to the seedy underbelly of London's criminal side in this finale to our February's Movies We Love series. In this episode, Ron and Adam will tackle the 2000 British Gangster flick “Snatch”. They'll discuss everything from finger missing gamblers to bullet dodging Russians, with a Pikey or two thrown in for good measure. Plus Ron officially throws down the gauntlet and finally challenges a celebrity to a fight. Who is it? There's only one way to find out. So put down your replicas and grab your Desert Eagle .50 and tune in to this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Here comes our third installment of movies we LOVE for February, Cinemaster Fans. This episode is Ron's second pick and one of Mel Brooks' most notable flicks of all time. It's the go to space spoof with quotable lines you might even recognize in our theme song! Brook teams up with comedy legends John Candy and Rick Moranis to bring you Spaceballs! This 80's masterpiece is filled with take offs from some of your favorite sci-fi properties of all time and even after all these years the laughs hold up even if you don't have the power of the Schwartz. So grab your Spaceballs lunchbox, you know, the one with the transformers on it, and kick back with the Cinemasters as they comb through this gem for all it's worth on this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

The month of movies we love is in full effect now, Cinemaster fans! We are back with our second installment and this time around we are talking the Cult Classic film from 2001, Donnie Darko. A breakthrough performance for Jake Gyllenhaal that enthralled a generation of movie lovers with its intricate twists and turns through complex topics like tangent universes, time travel and Sparkle Motion. Make sure no one has any reason to doubt your commitment to the Cinemasters by tuning in for this episode where we discuss trivia, tunes and 6 foot tall imaginary rabbits. I'm starting to wonder if maybe Adam has a thing for movies where the main character has a bunny best friend? So don't give into fear but embrace the love in the lifeline exercise in this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome back Cinemaster Fans! After an extended hiatus of 8 seasons in the Octagon, we have returned and are coming out of the gate hot with tot action! We've got all the chapstick your lips can take no matter how bad they hurt and these AREN'T from the school nurse's desk. We're taking you all the way back to 2004 to Preston, Idaho for the indie classic Napoleon Dynamite, but don't worry we didn't forget to put the crystals in the time machine. Whether you've been home chatting with babes online all day, making a video about throwing a pigskin a quartermile, or hunting wolverines with a friggin 12 gauge, this movie has just what you need. So grab your boondoggle keychain (a MUST have for this season's fashion), hop on your Huffy Sledgehammer and fix yourself a dang quesadilla as our Cinemasters run through their favorite moments in this oh so quotable gem. The only question left to ask is how are you feelin' about this 32 piece set as we kick off 2022's first episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome Back Cinefansters to a very special episode of the Cinemasters of the Universe! This episode is definitely pulling out all the stops by bringing in not one, but two guest Cinemasters. The Bitgeek Podcast's Prince of Pixels, Nick Wright, lends his extensive Ghostbusters expertise as he weighs in on his impression of the new film. Plus the debut of Junior Cinemaster, Logan Avis, the rightful heir to the Rental Kingdom. I suppose that makes him the Rental Prince. Sure is an awful lot of royalty in this particular episode. Join all four of our Cinemasters as they talk shop and their individual impressions of this long awaited sequel to the original franchise entries 30 years in the making. A word to the wise, though, if you've not seen the film yet, there are plenty of spoilers so make sure you check it out before you give the guys a listen. So strap on your Proton Pack, crank up that Ray Parker Jr. and hop in that Ecto-1 gunner seat as we bust all the ghosts in this brand new episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Hey there horror fans and welcome back to the 4th installment of this year's Cinemasters Spooktacular! This week Ron and Adam will be bringing a 1990 forgotten classic back to life as they discuss the heart pounding thriller, “Flatliners”. What happens when we die or more importantly, what comes with us if we don't follow the light into the tunnel but come back to life? Our Cinemasters will see how some of the hottest up and coming stars of the early 90's tackle this question as they try not to get a severe beating from a very deceased Billy Mahoney. Place your bets on how long you can ride out that flat line in this latest installment of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

We'd like to play a game, Cinemaster fans. We're midway through the Cinemasters Spooktacular II and it looks like we just woke up in a creepy bathroom chained to a pipe so that must mean we're talking all things Saw this week! Back again but driving the podcast-mobile this week is Monster Mash Mercer and he's got all the inside info from James Wan's directorial debut. With Ron and Adam by his side you're certainly in for more treats than tricks but that doesn't mean you're in the clear just yet. There might even be some Jigsaw level hijinx in this podcast that you'll have to look out for. If you want to find out just what's in store then pop that little tape in and press play on this week's episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome back ghouls and boys to the second installment of this year's Cinemaster's Spooktacular! This week we travel to a small town in New York for one of the most haunted houses ever immortalized on the silver SCREAM! That's right it's The Amityville Horror. But since we're kicking things up a notch this year we're not just doing one movie, we're doing the original AND the remake. Two times the haunting for the price of one. And if that weren't enough, this week Ron and Adam are joined by the mysteriously monstrous Matt Mercer! Double the movies and triple the Cinemasters means you're getting the most bang for your buck, just like that Lutz family that moved into 112 Ocean Avenue. So grab your crucifix and your flyswatter and buckle up for another terrifying episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome to the official 2021 Cinemaster SPOOKTAKULAR! In our first installment at our long anticipated salute to scary movies. It's officially Halloween season so we're heading to outer space where no one can hear you scream! Join Ron and Adam as they discuss the fate of the Nostromo when it takes a detour to investigate a potential distress signal. Amidst the blinking lights and space sounds we get our very first look at the dreaded Xenomorph in this Ridley Scott epic. From Facehuggers to flamethrowers, our Cinemasters break down this classic Hitchcockian horror from above and share their personal insights and experiences as they pertain to this film and the franchise at large. So make sure you lock all the doors and windows, turn on all the lights and tune in to this year's opening episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE SPOOKTAKULAR!!!

Well hey there friends. It's another casual gathering around the old water cooler for a bit of movie news and opinions in the most chill way we can think to present it. This installment kicks off with some unfortunately sad news with the passing of a comedy giant, Norm MacDonald. Ron and Adam share their thoughts on some of his most notable appearances, roles and material he's left behind for all of us. But it's not all bad news. There's other things in store and even a bit of a peak at the upcoming Cinemasters Spooktacular which debuts at the end of September. So sit back with your tall glass of chilled spring water and listen in to this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Oh hey there friends. Welcome back to another fun little installment of Cinemasters. We're kind of low key today. Just some friendly water cooler talk. Kind of like a fireside chat but with more casual beverages and movie news with less spirited libations and singular movie focus. From time to time our Cinemasters will be dropping these little updates as necessary. The movie industry is an ever changing one given the state of the world right now. From scheduling changes to studio bulletins, The Rental King and Nighthawk will be chiming in with their two cents on everything that's bubbling up around the proverbial office. So sit back and enjoy an abbreviated episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

What do you get when you cross a Troma director with a penchant for R rated shenanigans with an amazing cast of some of the worst (in EVERY sense of the word) bad guys that DC ever cooked up? The answer is the best damn Suicide Squad movie there is. Welcome back Cinemaster fans! This time around we're sitting in with Ron and Adam as they talk about a new movie still in theaters. So this should serve as your SPOILERS WARNING! Our Cinemasters will be talking about the movie in detail so if you've not seen the flick yet just know they both HIGHLY endorse it and have enjoyed it probably close to 10 times or more between the two of them. So grab your tiny bullets, your toilet seat helmet and your completely misguided sense of how far you'd go for liberty and enjoy this new episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Gather ‘round Cinemaster fans and get toasty by the crackling flames as we enjoy our second Fireside Chat! This time we will be discussing the Schwarzenegger classic, “Terminator 2”. Sit in with Ron and Adam as they speak fondly of this summer blockbuster in the follow up half to our most recent series. Comfy in their velvet clad wingback chairs, clad in the classiest of smoking jackets, the Cinemasters will cover time travel, tasteful nudity, and vehicles that start by slightly lowering the driver side visor while simultaneously playing “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. The conversations will jubilantly bounce around from topic to topic and you'll even get some added bonus banter in the last third of the podcast. So give me your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle (so you can't go anywhere) and enjoy this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome Back loyal fans! Summer time has always meant one thing to movie lovers: The Blockbuster! It's been a while since we've had a real iconic summer blockbuster, especially since the summer movie season starts in early spring, anymore. Come join Ron “The Rental King” Avis and Adam “Nighthawk Peterson as they casually meander through their first ever “Fireside Chat” and talk about a beloved classic, Jurassic Park. This Speilbergian gem from the early 90's is a pillar in the blockbuster community and one that has brought cinematic wonder to multiple generations now. Hear the Cinemasters regale you with their experiences with the film, insights on the character and plot and a good bit of entertaining banter to bring it all together on this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

If you arrive at a four way stop with a Cinemaster to your left and one to your right and Billy Ocean directly across from you, who has the right of way? As long as you're one of the Corey's in a mint green Cadillac then the answer is most definitely you! This week Ron and Adam get into the 1988 coming of age classic “License to Drive” featuring the iconic Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. To be 16 again and chasing that coveted driver's license is something a lot of us can relate to. Our Cinemasters also give a hefty salute to Richard Masur as a true “Rad Dad” of cinema in the month of June. So get out of your dreams, hop into the car with Ron, Adam and Billy Ocean and see what this classic 80's comedy is all about in this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Round two of our Movies that May have aged well is back in full effect and this time our Cinemasters are taking on the 1991 “cult” classic of imaginary proportions, “Drop Dead Fred”. Is this film the ultimate definition of childhood friends only you could see or perhaps a precursor to a Tyler Durden fever dream. Ron and Adam will weigh in on all things Fred in this installment and help us understand why anyone would live on a paddleboat, get a mommy and me makeover or date Tim Matheson in general. To see how things turn out for young Lizzie and her larger than life best bud, Fred, you'll have to tune in to this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome Cinemaster fans to the first episode of our “Movies that May not have aged well”. In this installment we have a very special guest returning to join Ron and Adam. White Machete sit's in to discuss the 1988 body swap classic “Vice Versa”. Our three Cinemasters discuss the ups and downs of the adventures of Judge Reinhold as Fred Savage and Fred Savage as Judge Reinhold. Two fish out of water just trying to figure out how to get back. Between sweet drum solos, mysterious skulls and awkward “Mony, Mony” montages, our Cinemasters break down this flick to find out whether it does hold up or not. Curious to see how things end up? You'll just have to listen in on this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Let's finish out our month of Fools with Mike Judge's dynamically dumb duo of Beavis and Butt-head as they “do” America. Charged up with 90's MTV nostalgia and nary a brain cell between the pair, these animated fools awkwardly giggle through 81 minutes of double entendres in hopes of one big score and a new television set. Add in a bevy of celebrity voices, a Rob Zombie musical interlude and enough cavity searches to bankrupt the American Dental Association and you've got a modern classic for the ages. Join our Ron and Adam for one final bout of foolishness in this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Hey there Cinemaster fans and thanks for coming back to episode 3 of our April Fools series we're in. This week we are looking at the 1979 Steve Martin classic “The Jerk”. Join Adam and Ron as they walk through this flick from humble beginnings in Mississippi to the height of wealth in this rags to riches tale of Navin R. Johnson. From guessing weight in a carnival to the spontaneous publicity of seeing his name in print at Hartounian's Gas Station, Navin lives a very interesting life and our Cinemasters will be right there to walk through the highs and lows. So grab your Mr. Bubbles and settle into the tub for another foolish episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

ULTRAVIOLET RAYS BAD. CINEMASTERS GOOD. Welcome back to the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE continuing with our April tribute to "fools". This week Ron picked one of the 90's most prolific fools, Adam Sandler, in his breakout feature film 'Billy Madison'.

Welcome to April, Cinemaster fans! It's the month we celebrate fools. First up on our list is the immortal physical comedian from SNL fame, Chris Farley in his most iconic role of all time. Sandusky's favorite son and heir to the Callahan auto parts empire, this 7 year Marquette grad has to wrestle with real life when his father leaves him too soon. Coupled with long time SNL alum and friend, David Spade, we cover all things Farley and Tommy Boy in this first installment in our month long tribute to fools. 

As in true Cinemaster fashion we are better late than never. Finishing out our week 4 of our love affair with movies is our episode dedicated to the Merc with a Mouth, Wade W Wilson of Regina, Saskatchewan, also known as Deadpool. Ron and Adam cover this movie as well as a number of other Marvel properties past, present, and future as they enjoy various parts of the plot and characters in the film. As a special treat, Ron surprises Adam with a bonus round of Trivia Junket so you'll have to listen to see how Adam does with everything on the line. Will he maintain his title as Deadpool Fan #1 or will he cause Ryan Reynolds to publicly disown him. You'll have to tune in and listen to the latest episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Hey there Cinemaster fans, we’re back with our third installment of our love affair with movies. Through the month of February we are picking movies we just love for one reason or another and are sharing them with you. This week is Ron’s second pick, the 1989 Richard Pryor and Gene WIlder classic “See No Evil, Hear No Evil”. Our Cinemasters will walk you through the nuts and bolts of this comedy classic and share their fun takes on some of the goofy things a plucky blind man with a penchant for punching will do and a cautious deaf guy will say trying to keep them both from ending up in the penitentiary for a murder they didn’t commit. Hilarity ensues as these two legends light up the screen with their physical humor as well as razor sharp wit. Also featuring a young and slightly deformed Kevin Spacey and the always stunning Joan Severance, this film is a treasure from the past that our Cinemasters dug up, dusted off and served up just for you in this latest installment of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

Welcome Back Cinemasters Fans. We are back for week 2 of our February affair with movies we love. This is Adam’s pick and is near and dear to his heart. We’ve all grown to enjoy Adam’s affinity for all things Jimmy Stewart. This week we delve into his favorite flick from Mr. Stewart called “Harvey”. It's a classic film from the golden age of black and white cinema. So strap in with the Rental King and Nighthawk of the North as we sit down and talk Elwood P. Dowd and his 6 foot tall rabbit friend, Harvey in this brand new episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

*"GODS OF WAR!!!! may your hammer be mighty."* Welcome back to another episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE and since February is the month of love we're going to present *four movies we have a love affair with,* kicking off with Ron's pick: the 2007 Lonely Island (and perhaps more so Adam Sandburg) vehicle, ' *Hot Rod* '. Hot Rod is an underdog tale about a young 'boy' that wants to be a stung man just like his deceased dad and clearly has some issues with his new step father, Frank. But to earn Frank's love and respect, he must first beat his ass in a fight! Problem is, Frank (played by Ian McShane) has a sick heart and needs $50,000 to afford a heart transplant. Thankfully for him, Rod, along with his intrepid crew, are up to the task of earning the dough and helping Frank get better....and Rod can once again go back to trying to kick his ass. A silly movie to be sure, but you need to listen to this show to understand just how underrated a movie it really is.

Hey there movie monsters and welcome to our final October episode. To do Halloween the right way we decided to go extremely meta and dedicate our Halloween episode to the movie Halloween. And if that wasn’t kicking it up enough, we pulled out the rest of the stops and brought out the White Machete! In this very special Spooktakular finale we put all three of our horror-rific heads together and break down the initial iteration of the 70’s slasher extraordinaire, Michael Myers. So turn off the lights, grab that leftover trick or treat candy and fill your ears with the Cinemasters instead of those bump in the night noises. See if you can survive in Haddonfield in this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Since it’s Halloween, we have to push the envelope a little bit. We figured the best way to amp up the podcast this week is to bring back a familiar voice (since you can’t see our faces now anyway, stupid pandemic) to help us break down the 1987 Canadian Horror Classic, “The Gate”. Matt Mercer Joins us to discuss all things demonic for a young Stephen Dorff as he and his north of the border cohorts attempt to dispatch an unholy series of little men in rubber suits trying to eat Louis Tripp. We will cover house parties, metric conversions and the best hairstyles the 80’s had to offer. You’ll get 50% more Cinemaster in this episode and its absolutely free! All you have to do is tune in to this Spooktacular episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Welcome back for week two of our Spooktacular series this October of all things scary. This time around is Adam’s pick and he’s bringing us his favorite flick from an old school master of thrills and chills, Alfred Hitchock himself. There’s no creepy shower scenes or avian infestations this time around though. This time the scares come from what happens right outside your window. Your “Rear Window” that is. Our Cinemasters take a look and break down the slow burn of the 1954 Jimmy Stewart/Grace Kelly classic look at the crossroads of voyeurism and murder. So grab your binoculars and see if you spy the suspense in this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

October means one thing when it comes to the Cinemasters...Halloween. This year we are bringing you 4 specially designed episodes to bring the terror. Week 1 is Ron’s first pick and we kick it off with a powerhouse when it comes to all things horror. Think red and green sweater, knives for fingers and he’ll get you when the caffeine runs out. That’s right its Freddy Kruger in the best of all the NIghtmare on Elm Street sequels, numero tres: The Dream Warriors. This week we will deep dive into Westin Hills darkest dreams and go toe to toe with the most famous burn victim the silver screen has ever known. So pop in your air pods, sync up the bluetooth speaker and prepare yourself for the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

It’s a movie that’s been 29 years in the making. And because this year feels like it will never end, it also feels like it’s been 29 years since you’ve seen the Cinemasters. But now, their most triumphant return comes together in a truly glorious and entirely excellent fashion. That’s right kids, the Cinemasters are back and it is 100% all about Bill and Ted Face the Music! After a summer hiatus because, let’s face our own music that everything in the world is just the tiniest bit bogus, our heroes are back to talk all things Bill S. Preston Esquire and Ted “Theodore” Logan. So hop in your phone booth with your copy of Battleship and head to the Circle K and hang with our favorite film fanatics the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

Trivia fans, come on down! It’s time for another episode featuring one of our absolute favorite things to do and that is test our collective movie knowledge. We are back again with another round of questions for each other to see just how much of a mastery we have on the cinema. As it stands we are tied with one win a piece and a couple of draws under our belt. We always have  a lot of fun coming up with, asking and answering the questions and this episode was particularly fun to make. As usual, we have no idea what the topics are ahead of time and we simply have to do our best to get as many correct answers as we can. Will there be a new champion? Will we face off and have another tie? Will we get all of them wrong and be forced into humiliation and stop doing this forever? The only way you’ll really be able to find out what happens is when you tune in and listen to this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Who are the best bad good guys in movies? Or are they the worst good bad guys? We’re not totally sure either but we do have a list of candidates we have put together of our favorite scoundrels, anti-heroes and reluctant good guys. Essentially they aren’t your typical, squeaky clean protagonists. But these guys get the job done with efforts that might be less than desirable in certain circumstances. From dark vigilantes to awkward uncles, we’ve got a great list of characters you’re definitely going to love. Join Ron and Adam as we champion the dark horse in these cinematic contests in this exciting new episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Hey again there Cinemaster fans. We’re back with a different sort of program in these different kinds of times. In keeping with our updates on the Cinematic State of the Union we figured we would take on a review of the recently released on VOD Warner Brothers animated film “Scoob!” Its the latest iteration of a multi-decade franchise that generations have come to love of four teenage friends and their lovable pup mascot who have hit the big little screen once more. Ron and Adam were both able to take this new release on as it was first released and are giving you their thoughts on it. There may be a spoiler or two about some of the aspects of the film but the review is chock full of all sorts of wonderfulness. So be sure to tune in for this very special take on all things Scooby Dooby Doo in this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

This one has been a long time coming, kids. We’ve run out of time for this on our last couple of recordings but we have finally gotten around to discussing these two films. And hopefully by now you’ve seen the epic Cinemasters parody commercial featuring the infamous “bicycle scene” in a Juicy Fruit gum commercial. This episode was particularly fun to make and we had a great time talking about these two films. Now you get to listen to us talk through the ups and downs of both films. You’ll have to tune in and find out what our final verdict is on each of these flicks and whether we recommend or not on this brand new episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!
