Cinemasters of the Universe

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 the Barbara Walters, Hugh Downs and John Stossel references will run aplenty in the impending year. But one thing we can definitely count on like clockwork is that Hollywood will continue churning out films we want to see. Thankfully the Cinemasters are always here for us to let us know what they are looking forward to the most in the next 3 months.

So tune in and hold on for a riveting assortment of films that will be hitting the big screen in January, February and March of 2020. But there is a bit of a twist with these upcoming films. Ron and Adam try their hands at predicting Domestic Box Office performance in addition to selecting some high quality films in the first quarter of the new year. In January both of the fellas take a bit of a gamble on who they think the front runners will be. Adam makes a big, bold prediction in February and we find that March may be a bit sparse at this time. But to find out exactly what our Blockbuster Buddies have in store for you, you'll have to tune in to this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

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. Life ebbed and flowed throughout the galaxy. Civilizations came and went. None were worthy, that is until the Radical and the Dadical collided together in a sheer tyranny of will and two men were revealed to be the vessels by which this ancient power should be imbued. They were the Cinemasters.

Though set on different paths, these two mere mortals were thrust into the world with no knowledge of what weighty tasks lay before them. Life unfolded in the chaotic exuberance of humanness as these two amassed a filmography unlike that of their peers. From Schwarzenegger to Scorsese, the voraciousness of their videographical appetites were unquenchable. Consuming an endless array of films, the Cinemasters began to fulfill their destiny, unbeknownst to them. Eventually these two men were bestowed progeny and the prophecy's fruition drew nearer and nearer. And finally when all of mankind was reduced to a single Blockbuster Video, our two fateful heroes paths became woven together in a glorious tapestry. In this holy union betwixt these embattled compatriots a goodness the world had never seen before was birthed...Rad Dads.

In this episode, Ron and Adam have chosen Christmas Classics that are a little off the beaten path. As the typical holiday procession of movies gets passed around and the standard fare become almost a blur on TV screens across the land, our Cinemasters have hand picked two yuletide gems to reveal a subtler approach to the season that only the 1980's could afford. Ron selected "Ernest Saves Christmas: to share with his children and Adam picked the Dudley Moore December delicacy that is "Santa Claus: The Movie". Thus far our Cinemasters have maintained an untarnished reputation as Rad Dads. Will they keep the streak alive or meet an untimely demise. You'll have to find out in this all new mini-sode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

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.

Adam and Ron talk about a movie both agree will be on both their top 10 lists of 2019. Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix in an incredible performance.

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 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.
