Hey there Cinemaster fans! It’s time for another tasty bite with Ron and Adam. After the implied success of slicing off a piece of your normal Cinemasters episode and keeping our loyal fans appeased on a more regular basis, we are back for another in between with a very special Trivia Junket. This time around the fellas tackle 2019 in review. You might just find when their next official episode drops that this is a very fitting topic to go in tandem with that. Each of the Cinemasters has come up...

A little while ago in a galaxy relatively nearby a Star Wars film was released in theaters. That means the Cinemasters were there to experience The Rise of Skywalker in all its J.J. Abrams glory. Being the 9th and final film in the established Star Wars franchise it seemed to be a bit of a big deal as the theaters were quite full of patrons. But that didn’t stop Ron and Adam from sitting through the film in its entirety and enjoying a good many bits of it. Coincidentally, our newest Cinemaster, ...

Buckle up Cinemaster fans, this is your very first episode of JUST the Feature Presentation. Hopefully you enjoyed getting a smaller tasty bite of Ron and Adam with the least installment where the guys covered their Rad Dad Christmas picks. This time around will be filled with action and adventure, comedy and drama, and a little bit of the unexpected. With December coming to a close we have a lot to look forward to in 2020. Not only will there be plenty of optometrist puns but I can only imagine...

Deep within the recesses of the core of creation, long before time and space became a twinkle in the eye of the cosmos, there existed a force so pure that no one being could truly harness its brilliance. To prevent this power from finding its way to the fiendish grip found within the dark hearts of men, the elders of the universe split this core into two pieces and sent them to the corners of existence, only to be summoned when the time was appointed for the union to be restored. Eons passed. Li...

Happy Turkey Day movie fans from your favorite (and only) Cinemasters of the Universe! This is episode 19 in our series of 10 billion focused primarily on movies. This time around we’re kicking things off with a good old fashioned family edition of “Who Played It Better?” where Ron was charged with recasting the pseudo-sequel to the Goonies: All Growed Up edition and Adam had to take on The Shining. Both of our film fanatics pulled out all the stops and created two very intriguing new casts. Nex...

Welcome back film fans for another spooky installment of “Cinemaster of the Universe”! This episode is number 18 which means we are fully legal and can totally vote in a sanctioned democratic election, amongst other things. If we were a James Bond film we’d be “Tomorrow Never Dies”, the sassy follow up to Pierce Brosnan’s initial outing as 007. In this episode we’re going to kick things off in the coming attractions with our follow up on “WHAAAAT?? You’ve Never Seen ______?” with Adam’s creepy p...

Step up to the plate movie fans and welcome to the big show. This is where that fun little Sports Center jingle would go if I had it and copyright wasn’t a thing. But in this episode our Cinemasters are taking on the wide world of sports with reckless abandon. Kicking off our Coming Attractions this time around we ask our fellas once again if they are Rad Dads or not. Ron decided it was time for the kids to see the immortal David Bowie/Jennifer Connelly classic “Labyrinth” while Adam took things...

Whether he’s working long hours animating for the Emmy award winning children’s television show Sesame Street or flying across the country to record with his brother on the popular retro and nostalgia themed podcast CLS Knockback, the enormously talented Dagan Moriary never fails to be a pleasant and charming and full of warmth. So we were overjoyed when the Dagan accepted our invitation to join us and chat about his personal and professional life. Avid listeners of CLS Knockback already know th...

Ron has a hankering' for Cracker Barrel, Nick loves his video game and TV show-themed boards and Mark isn't giving up his game show inspired sets anytime soon. When it comes to the nostalgic feels there's nothing like some good old fashioned, sitting at the dining room table with family and friends, board game action. And for this week's episode we invited a family and a friend over, Mark Baker-Wright, to talk about 10 board games we love(d). Speaking of Mark and TV shows, we also get an inside ...

The boys are back in our TENTH EPISODE! We made it to double digits and we are darn proud of it. To go along with it, we’ve got a whole new set for the Cinemasters to broadcast from and we think you’ll love the new digs. Picking up where we left off, our Cinemasters have been tasked with recasting two iconic films. Ron challenged Adam to recast the dismal Star Wars prequel often mocked for its CGI Pear scene, “Attack of the Clones” and Adam viciously assaulted Ron by demanding he recast the belo...

Welcome back to another exciting installment of Cinemasters of the Universe! In Episode 9 we see the Rise of the Cinemasters as they change things up a bit with the visual aesthetic. What Adam lacks in overall appeal and personality, Ron more than makes up for in technical ability and general likability. Our heroes kick off this episode with another round of “WHAAAAT??? You haven’t seen _______”. This time Ron is going over his experience with Tom Hanks and his crazy “Bachelor Party” antics, pre...

Ok kids, this is the big one. Episode 8. This is the one where a portion of you will hate us so much you organize a petition to erase this episode from our canon simply because we killed off Luke Skywal….oh crap. I gave away the ending. Dang it. Well, you should still watch/listen because there’s other really compelling stuff in this podcast too. Like….uh….RAD DADS! Yeah, we did a Rad Dads and oh man are you gonna love it. Ron watched E.T. the Extra Terrestrial (not like that’s redundant, Mr. Sp...

In this installment our boys are busting out a brand new segment called who played it better. If you recall in our last episode Ron challenged Adam to recast the classic thriller “Silence of the Lambs”. Adam returned the volley with an 80’s classic to find new, young talent for “The Breakfast Club”. Whatever you do, don’t check his browser history, folks. After this interesting change of pace we revisit a formula that worked for our Cinemasters once before. They’re going through the most anticip...

Ever since the announcement of the SEGA Genesis Mini, SEGA has been drop feeding the announcement of 10 games at a time. To date half of those games have been revealed, but we thought it would be fun to try and predict which other 20 games will be in store for the nostalgia hungry SEGA fans. Will the final list be a love letter to it's fans (Nintendo) or will SEGA spit in the face of it's fans (SONY)?

The place is England. The Year is 787. Our Cinemasters are embroiled in the fight of their life. Each of them have selected a movie they've somehow never actually seen and challenged themselves to do the unthinkable. Watch. That. Movie. Ron has selected a classic piece of theatrical genius and has enriched his mind, body and soul with the wisdom contained within. Adam watched a movie with people who do stuff and its pretty alright. They'll tell you things about these movies but if you want to kn...

As we last left our heroes they were embroiled in another fantastic quandary of whether or not they were, in fact, Rad Dads. This cliffhanger ending (nearly 2 months ago) had us on the edge of our seats as Ron, our Courageous Cinematic Commander, and Adam, the Plucky Theatric Rascal, vowed to bring two classic films from the annals of their infancy in filmdom to the forefront of their own children’s theatrical education today. This is always a risky endeavor as some films don’t have the movie ma...

The 2019 Louisville Arcade Expo had its share of highlights but for us the biggest may have been the surprise inclusion of, what we described as, "Multiplayer Asteroids" and "Asteroids Battle Royale". The game was called Cosmotrons and the makers were a two-person developer team based out of Wisconsin. Joining us for this episode we have those two very talented gentlemen, Shane Gutbrod AKA "Cosmo-Shane" and Dave Furrer AKA "Dave-o-Tron" on the show to talk about their company, the game we loved,...

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls. Please gather round for another exciting installment of THE CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE! In this latest edition we are lovingly subtitling "A New Hope" we find our heroes Ron Avis and Adam Peterson wrestling with a new foe. They take on the idea that somehow there is a classic movie, new or old, that they've not seen. Shudder! In a new segment titled "WHAAAAAAAAT?? You've not seen that? The boys each pick a movie considered some kind of classic and purposefu...
