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”.

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”. Its 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,...

"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 Fran...

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 lig...

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 w...

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 ...

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.

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!

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, ...

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 goi...

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 t...

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 ...

It's hard to believe it's been 40 years since the little yellow pizza with a missing slice first gobbled pellets in arcades, laundry mats and convenient stores, our homes and bed-spreads across America. The BitGeeks take a look at the mania that was Pac-Man in the 1980's.

Everybody loves a good movie quote. It’s like a secret language that only those who have seen a particular film can speak. Some quotes go far and wide for big blockbusters and others sneak by and are only caught on the radar of a select few for a cult classic. Whatever the quote is, we all have some that we hold near and dear to us. In this Feature Presentation the Cinemasters are bringing you 20 classic quotes that they love. Obviously this is a hard subject to whittle down to a top 10 so there...

We are firmly into the Cinematic desert we never thought we’d find ourselves in and there have been some adjustments in the landscape we’d like to discuss as a living record of our takes on these strange days. First we have to cover the battle of the industries. With Universal Studios recent Video On Demand rental of Trolls World Tour apparently doing as well as it has, it’s opened up a bit of a Pandora’s Box in the movie world. AMC theaters is pushing back with the promise to not show ANY Unive...

Welcome back movie goers. This is a Feature Presentation we’ve had in the can for a while now. It’s a whole new segment we’ve been waiting to unveil. From the mind of Ron Avis comes the 99 Cent Rentals. Having both worked in video stores, corporate and mom & pop style, Ron and Adam both understand how to help the wayward customer looking for something a little different than the new release standard fare. In these instances, patrons of the old brick and mortar movie rental establishments wou...

We had to take a break and retool our configuration to bring you the same great quality podcasting with a twist of social distancing, because we’re that kind of responsible. But now that we’ve done all that, washed our hands down to the bones and watched the world melt into oblivion, we figured it was time to talk about what everyone is REALLY worried about.

We are in our 26th episode which technically brings us to the most recent James Bond movie, “No Time To Die”. After this episode we will have eclipsed the entire franchise and will no longer have a catalog of films to compete with as we continue forward.

Hey there Cinemaster fans. We are back again with one of our signature Tasty Bites. In this Coming Attractions episode we are going to circle back to a couple of films that Ron and Adam missed seeing somewhere along the line. That’s why we call this segment “WHAAAT??? You haven’t seen that???” because typically that’s the response we get. Yes, we’ve seen a lot of movies but there are also still a LOT of movies out there. So we use this as a special place to slow down just a little, like we’re in...

Saxophones, sweaty bodies and Michael Douglas! Got your attention? There haven't been a lot of new genres in Hollywood over the last several decades, so it's really interesting to see one as prevalent in the 80's and 90's as the Erotic Thriller go away. But they kind of did didn't they? White Machete returns to discuss what makes a thriller so...well, erotic. Let's have some fun playing 'Real or Fake' (Erotic Thriller Edition), try to explain what makes Michael Douglas, basically attracted (PUN)...
