Hey there scary movie fans, it’s time for another installment of Cinemasters of the Universe and this one’s going to be spooktacular! Our hosts, Ron and Adam, are duking it out a second time in the Trivia Junket to see who’s the “Best Boy” when it comes to obscure movie knowledge. And since it’s October, this trivia is all about horror movies.

Then it’s on to the Feature Presentation. Our fellas are taking on the haunting task of strolling through the last 50 years of the macabre cinema to bring you some of their high points, and low ones too, of the creepiest offerings that Hollywood has brought us over the last half century. From the early days of Alfred Hitchcock to the recent resurgence in movies that go bump in the night from James Wan, our fearless fanatics will be taking on everything from Slasher flicks to found footage and all the zombies you can pack in the middle. It’s a topic that’s sure to make you scream…with delight.

Finally, we get this episode’s post credits scene. The guys are doing a “WHAAAT??? You haven’t seen ______???” again and this time it’s with a frightening twist. Somewhere in the catalog of horror flicks there has to be one or two that Ron and Adam haven’t seen and that’s the challenge this time around. To find out what they pick you’ll just have to tune in to this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE…if you dare…

Remember, please don't listen if you haven't seen Joker.

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 in a completely unexpected direction and sat his boys down for the often overlooked cinematic gem featuring the second biggest genie, “Kazaam”. Did each of these timeless treasures make the play with the next generation or were the laces not out on this kick?

After that we move into the Feature Presentation, 10 of the best Sports movies of all time. It’s the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat as Ron and Adam run down their picks for the best play makers in athletic filmmaking. There might be some curveballs but with these two swinging for the fences I don’t think anyone will need a buzzer beater to win you over on their rankings. And don’t worry, we’re probably close to out of sports lingo at this point. One more, and we’d be in the penalty box for sure!

Finally, the post credits scene this week is a teaser for the next round of Trivia Junket! In the exciting next episode our fellas are gonna duke it out in the ring of movie knowledge. They’re each going in blind as to what 10 questions they will get this time around so if you want to see this prize fight you’ll have to make sure you tune in next time for the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

Hey there movie fans, it’s time for a very special episode of the Cinemasters of the Universe! We are all the way up to episode 14 and in this one we all float down here! That’s right theater goers, in this installment the boys are exclusively talking about Stephen King’s IT in all forms and fashions! They’ll kick of the episode with another rousing round of “Who Played it Better?” Ron’s casting couch will be for “Back to the Future” and Adam will be searching for a new Vincent Gambini as he recasts the classic “My Cousin Vinny”.

Once we’ve got that out of the way though, its time for PENNYWISE THE DANCING CLOWN! For many adults this clown still haunts their nightmares from his first television appearance in 1990 on ABC to the recently released “It: Chapter 2” and our heroes will be delving into the book, the miniseries and both of the most recent iterations shared in theaters. There WILL be spoilers in this one so hold on to your bright orange wigs as we head deep into the sewers of Derry, ME to fight one of the most ancient evils known to man.

To wrap everything up our Cinemasters will line up their Rad Dad picks a little early in this episode before we get to all those juicy spoilers from the latest film which our Movie Masters couldn’t wait to see in its opening evenings and have already studied the film in great detail. So turn on all the lights, make sure all the doors are locked and you’re nice and safe as our honorary members of the Loser’s Club go all out for our IT-Stravaganza in this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

Moving on to the Feature Presentation we revisit a regular feature looking ahead at the next 3 months of what’s coming out soon. Our Leading Men pick their most anticipated releases coming out in September, October and December. Each of our Cinemasters comes prepared with a few alternates in the event of inevitable overlap so that you get the 10 best picks these two fellas can put together. Want to know what to look forward to as we head into the end of 2019? Well you’ll have to tear your ticket and grab a seat to find out what makes the projection booth and what’s left on the cutting room floor when it comes to big flicks coming soon.

Finally we’ll take a peek at the Post Credits sneak peek of what to look forward in our next episode. The guys are gonna pull out the casting couch once again and see if they can’t test their luck in revamping a couple of Hollywood classics with some fresh new faces. Ron challenges Adam to redo the Oscar Winning “My Cousin Vinny” with some very clear parameters of just who needs a casting update and Adam takes it a little easier on Ron with Back to the Future. To see who’s playing the new Vincent Gambini and Marty McFly you’ll simply have to swing by Blockbuster and rent the next new release of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

You haven’t seen THAT???” Ron’s going to be checking out the 1984 Emilio Estevez punk rock classic “Repo Man” and Adam will be visiting the films of yesteryear once again with Jimmy Stewart and The Duke, himself, Mr. John Wayne in “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”.

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.

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 glimpse of what it's like to try out to be a contestant on Press Your Luck in 2019.
