Cinematic Fantastic episodes

  • The Invisible Ray (1936)

    Irradiated beams are so the light of fashion (See what I did there?) In this episode:

    • Jason illuminates the apparently very scant production history and William pipes in to detail the kicking out of the Laemmle family from their studio.
    • William then lets his soul glow shine through by traveling back in time via Andromeda ray to the story of what on earth happened in this movie.
    • And Mr. Beast uses the ray to cure all the people with blindness and... wait, no, that would be Mr. Benet. Sorry, Dr. Benet.

    • Werewolf of London (1935)

      Ever wanted Morticia's plant from the Addams Family, horseback riding under the totally safe midnight light and a whole lotta filler, you've come to the right place! In this episode:

      • William relates what little production history he had. After all, there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in the podcast biz.
      • Jason, not having a good snack for telling a plot, attempts to buy chow mein but can't find it at a decent price and therefore has to suffer eating fistfuls of wasabi.
      • And Draco Malfoy as a werewolf!? Fans are positively swooning!

      • The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

        To be honest, I'm not married to the idea (Sorry not sorry) In this episode:

        • Jason constructs a lean green machine of his own and rhetorically states how the production of this movie works to it.
        • William argues to the monster that the both of them do not belong dead and explains why by going over the plot of the movie.
        • And GEESE!?!

        • The Black Cat (1934)

          CONTENT WARNING: Satanic rituals. Need I say more? And no, that's not a Black Mass, I just spilled some soy sauce.

          The beginning of a new season, a new chess game in play... In this episode:

          • William talks about the production history of the movie only "suggested" from the better-in-it's-own-way Poe tale.
          • And Jason details this movie's plot which is "supernatural perhaps, baloney perhaps not. There are many things under the sun."
          • And watch us review the only ceremony we have to take with a grain of salt.

          • Cinematic Classics: Night of the Hunter (1955)

            The hunter hunts nigh in this the end to Cinematic Classics Month! (Last of 2022)! In this bonus episode:

            • Jason recounts how Charles Laughton's only movie was created.
            • William rounds us out with the story of right hand and left hand. For it was the left hand that struck the blow that laid his brother low!
            • And "Children are man at his strongest. They abide."
            • (We reuploaded the audio to include the bonus episode theme! I forgot to put it in.)

            • Cinematic Classics: Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

              A favorite of many, very rewatchable, and some sweaty men to boot is the sure-fire way to a classic!  In this bonus episode:

              • William retells the tribal stories of the creation of the picture.
              • Then Jason journeys jungle, sand and snowstorm for the great story telling and chilling greed among the crew of three. Four if you count Cody, but we never count Cody.
              • And we find gold and share it with nobody. Well, maybe the donkey...

              • Cinematic Classics: Citizen Kane (1941)

                The "greatest movie of all time" reviewed again by our crew of 2! (Not to be confused with the chicken fingers! Which in turn should not be confused with the essay.)  In this bonus episode:

                • William shows off the great tale of a man's life put together with the amazing cinematography!
                • Jason tells the even greater production history and all it's controversies...
                • And all hope for the discovery of the original version of his 2nd film The Magnificent Ambersons!

                • Cinematic Classics: M (1931)
                  Timestamps: 0:01:00 - Production/Cast; 0:53:45 - Plot. This tale of two sides with two very valid arguments, in the atmospheric stretched-to-the-limit cityscape that is this story's Berlin, shows another perspective from the ideas presented by Fritz Lang's other prominent film Metropolis in a way that two words can sum up... "Me likey." In this bonus episode:
                  William slaps a letter on the production of this movie, identifying it to be fairly suspicious at best.
                  And then Jason tells the plot in front of all the judging criminals and the seething spirits and voices of all he affected.
                  And Sesame Street (and Cinematic Fantastic) is brought to you by the letter M, and the number '32!

                About Cinematic Fantastic

                From the publisher's feed

                We make a very nerdy podcast about sci-fi, fantasy, and old horror movies both fantastically rich to fantastically a failure. We deeply discuss thoughts, make jokes, and talk about historic movie producers. The hosts are a father-son duo of Jason Weatherford, a dad who works tech support at a university, and his eager teen son William Weatherford, student of the cinematic fantastic arts.
