For their 235th episode, two film critics, two dads, and two school teachers who definitely have the power, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, are starting to scratch a sword-and-sandal itch. Semi-included in that subgenre, and just in time for the remake/reboot, is 1987's "Masters of the Universe" from Cannon Films. Starring the beloved and out-of-his element Dolph Lundgren, one of our hosts was absolutely the target audience for this nearly 40 years ago and the other is watching it for the first time in 2026.  Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.

For their 234th episode, two wannabe TV critics, two resident dads, and two interning school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, enjoy the second week and episode pausing from cinema to spread some love to prestige television. Last week, they covered Season 1 of HBO Max's "The Pitt." For this episode, they recap and react to the recently completed second season. This show checks their pulse on whether the buzz and excitement from the first season could be advanced by the second.

For their 232nd episode, two well-molded film critics, two non-Aussie dads, and two special effects school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, have secretly found a little sub-niche over the years for their show, where they find an obscure, forgotten film and get the chance to move its Rotten Tomatoes score with their podcast's submitted review. This week, 1986's "F/X" gets the treatment. The caper/thriller celebrating tired cops and practical special effects became Bryan Brown's headlining arrival from Australia. He may not be Hugh Jackman, but his slickness and the movie are a good time. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.

For their 233rd episode, two non-television critics, two emergency room dads, and two surgically precise school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, take a two-week/two-episode pause from the film scene to celebrate a little television. While they may be movie guys, popular water cooler chatter can get them to binge a show now and again. Recently, Will discovered "The Pitt" on HBO Max and was hooked instantly, binging the first season in a day and a half. Don's been there since Day 1, so he was more than happy to break down Season 1.

For their 231st episode, two decadent film critics, two old sport dads, and partying school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, finally have, for what seems like the first time in a while, found a movie they truly feel opposite on to a nearly hate vs. love level, and it might not be from a place you typically expect. The loaded argument in question surrounds Baz Luhrmann's sparkly and loud blockbuster adaptation of "The Great Gatsby."

For their 230th episode, two golden critics, two statuesque dads, and centrist school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, continue their return from a short sabbatical with a special editorial episode. The recent 98th Academy Awards came and went recently. While the two-horse battle between "One Battle After Another" and "Sinners," made for decent Oscar drama, our podcast hosts didn't watch the show and found themselves over what they used to love.

Wrap yourself up in your illusions of safety and comfort.  Turn on the lights and check that the doors are locked.  Look under the bed and close the closet door... It's AntholoTober!!! The boys start off with the 1993 collection of the macabre, Body Bags.  For the ultimate run-down, make sure you listen to the Fear Facts, and double check the flashlight batteries; because it's dark out, and it'll get darker before the dawn. Speakpipe - Send us a voice message www.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/ruminationsofredrumwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioMusic and Production by Mitch Proctor for Area 42 Studios and SoundEpisode Artwork Charles Langley and Mitch Proctor for Area 42 Studios and Soundhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadio ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

For their 214th episode, two bumbling film critics, two clueless dads, and two coffee-passing teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, had very few movies circled on their calendar for the summer of 2025. Beyond the comic blockbusters, and even in front of them in some cases, "The Naked Gun" was one of them. Both hosts took to a film series rewatch this summer before indulging in the work of Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson to convince us this style of comedy wasn't lost or dead.

 For their 213th episode, two AI-fearing film critics, two hominid dads, and two bored teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, venture into the prophetic and distant science fiction of 24 years ago by way of 57 years ago. Those that can do the math can deduce they're talking about Stanley Kubrick's cornerstone epic “2001: A Space Odyssey.” This was an egregious blindspot for Will and a contrarian hate spot for Don, who's tried many times to embrace it.

For their 212th episode, two mangled film critics, two serial killer dads, and two sautéed teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, venture to another Ridley Scott blind spot for one of our hosts. Until this summer, Will had never seen Scott's gaudy Hannibal Lecter thriller “Hannibal,” while the slightly older Don was first in line for the intestines-spilling feats in 2001 and has the shocked and appalled reactions seared into memory.

Hoptimus has finally done it. We have made it to BLADE RUNNER. My favorite film of all time and the inspiration for the entire RFC show idea. Joined by the Six Button Samurai from OGIH to break down this seminal 1982 film. Why is this film so influential? Who did this amazing cinematography?! How does this film look so good ?! What made the cast so great? Who are the replicants? What does it mean to be human? Find out all of this and more on this episode of the RFC.#retrofuture #scifi #ruminationsradio #bladerunner #androids #harrisonford #ridleyscott #technoir #cyberpunkSpeakpipe - Leave us a voicemailhttps://www.facebook.com/retrofuturistcuturewww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNEmail: RuminationsRadio@gmail.com Music and Production by Mitch Proctor for Area 42 Studios and SoundEpisode Artwork by Charles Langley for Area 42 Studios and Soundhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadio ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

For their 211th episode, two mask-pulling film critics, two special agent dads, and two stuntman teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, finish their four-episode retrospective covering the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. With exhaustion and indifference to AI, our guys put a bow on “Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One,” “Mission: Impossible- Final Reckoning,” and the dominant Ethan Hunt chapter of Tom Cruise's career.

For their 210th episode, two non-mustached film critics, two un-soldierly dads, and two bell-ringing teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, hitch another wave from the Ridley Scott blind spot beach.  Once again, Will brings us to something he missed with the Demi Moore vehicle "G.I. Jane." Don was there in 1997 to enjoy the Demi Moore hype of this one and brings it back to the present day, especially post-"Substance."

For their 209th episode, two mask-pulling film critics, two special agent dads, and two stuntman teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, continue their retrospective race through the "Mission: Impossible" series. For this show, the gents cover the Christopher McQuarrie takeover of "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" and "Mission: Impossible - Fallout." These two movies have equal shares of quality and presposterousness fitting this franchise. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.
