Cinematic Fantastic episodes:

August 27, 2024Flash Gordon in Rocketship (1946)
Onward my brave Hawkmen! Let this be known forever as Flash Gordon's Day! In this episode:
William proceeded to "DIVE!" into the entire plot of the serial, but he was edited out because everyone wanted to know about some man "Houdini".

Jason then checked the angular vector of the moon to then calculate the trajectory of this franchise's production history and legacy.

And no boreworms were harmed in the making of this podcast... How could you do such a thing!? Guards, send this man to the Tournament of Death!

August 20, 2024She-Wolf of London (1946)
From behind you, it devours. In this episode:
Jason attempted to bite the plot on the neck but ended up nailing a spider monkey instead.

And then William recapped the production, but got so hungry talking about the Christmas fiasco that he went to buy Triscuits, as he was craving them deerly.

London is foggy, and gloomy, and soggy, but something mysterious, suspicious, and duplicitous is afoot! Who is it? We're gonna find out!

August 13, 2024House of Dracula (1945)
Man committed a sin, disturbing the life cycle of movie history. To protect the life cycle, we have created a podcast to rule mankind... This is the final battle! In this episode:
William slides into the plot reporting role like MJ, sliding up his glasses and delivering the iconic line "The Doc is in!"

To boot, Jason has a crack at what these movie's actors got up to on set, which definitely wasn't deadly hyperthermia.

And alas, I hear the Universal saga's last cry: "I don't wanna die." Mon Dieu.

August 06, 2024The Ape Man (1943) & Return of The Ape Man (1944)
To think that none of them are actual apes. In this episode:
Jason uses his handy dandy blow torch to slowly thaw the plot out, but it turned into wet sludge.

Then William, while sharing this movie's production history, commits the greatest atrocity to Mother Nature.

And who is Zippo? The answer: it's a new Universal Detective Club title. Dang it.

July 30, 2024The Mummy's Curse (1944)
I was crying for him when all was said and done! In this episode:
William attempts to dig up the plot in the nasty muddy swamps, as well as general understanding of its meaning, but the workers won't work cause there's a mummy in there! This is going to cost millions!!

Then Jason reunites in the afterlife with his long lost love: this movie's production history.

And Ananka still can't put her face into the water after all these years.

Jason finds the plot in the left wing of the museum only for it to vanish in his very arms!

Then William gets into an argument with a certain genie over the whereabouts of the rapidly aging production history!

Their house, in the middle of our street, their house. In this episode:

Also, Elden Ring is canon in the Universal Monster universe!?

June 25, 2024The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944)
Nowhere man, the world is at your command! In this episode:
William and Jason talk about the spanning cinematic career of John Carradine and his siblings.

Then Jason found the invisible plot and showed it squeezing a lemon on it to reveal it, proving quite cumbersome every time he ran one dry and had to get another.

Is there anything good you can use invisibility for? Let's find out!

William almost has a back and forth discussion with himself.
And Frankenstein's monster has a mouth but cannot scream. Somebody call a medic and give him his script back!
