Cinematic Fantastic

By Jason Weatherford

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 prod... more

An average movie, an average episode. In this episode:

April 10, 2022The Mummy (1932)
Timestamps: 01:11 - Production/Cast; 41:25 - Plot
The podcast that will bring satisfaction guaranteed, or your Mummy back. (I know what we picked...) In this episode:
Will and Jason discuss text from the ancient Scroll of The Mummy's production, a little about the Great Depression, and some misconceptions people may have about this picture.

These two tangentlemen attempt to explore the plot, and William nerds a bit about the music. (I'd really like to see better quality restorations of the music, and know the orchestration a bit better!)

They orate all about this sorta innovative adventure story! And avoid Isis.

March 31, 2022Frankenstein (1931)
Timestamps: 01:08 - Production/Cast; 39:00 - Plot
Is this episode frankly a stain? No, it's the one and only Frankenstein! You really should turn off auto-correct. In this episode of Cinematic Frank-tastic (OK, enough already):
Jason and William uncover the coffin containing the brains behind this film. (I learned what this was in school today! It's a hexagonal prism.)

GRRRRR!! Ahem, sorry. I meant that they discussed the plot.

The monster-making duo continue covering these great Universal monster movies!

March 22, 2022 Dracula (1931)
Timestamps: 01:00 - Production/Cast; 41:10 - Plot
He's coming, and you're neck-st! In this episode of Cinematic Fang-tastic:
· Will and Jason confabulate about the people behind this movie. No, that's not blood on my lip, it's just jelly doughnut. Come on guys... believe me....
· They are both unprepared for the greatness of the plot. (Because Will had his 15th birthday, you must understand!)
· They transition to the classic horror movie era. And do not turn into bats.

March 15, 2022The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
Timestamps: 01:18 - Production/Cast; 33:10 - Plot
Why do fandoms even exist. Like, those people AREN'T compatible, SHARON. Oh right, you mean Phantoms... Well, in this episode:
Jason, William, and GUEST HOST Leya introduce our first Universal Pictures film.

They laugh while talking about the plot, morals, and Leya's notes. So extensive.

They end the silent era by, ahem, STRANGLING it...

Check out Leya's poetry blog https://thingsicantholdonto.wordpress.com , it's pretty great.

March 13, 2022The Lost World (1925) - re-upload
Timestamps: 01:07 - Production/Cast; 30:37 - Plot
Jason and William express the legacy of the cast and the great stop motion.

They journey to the Amazon to see the plot of this movie, but William gets bitten by a FORMERLY extinct snake and dies.

They discuss the poorly funded and problematic 1960 version... Oof.

February 27, 2022 The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) (re-upload)
Timestamps: 01:12 - Production/Cast; 28:14 - Plot
(Re-upload to fix issues) Jason and William retrograde a year to discuss the symbolism and German expressionism of 1919's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Then, they attempt to make sense of this masterpiece of the age, and hopefully don't spiral into insanity and somnambulism. They look up how to how to spell and pronounce "somnambulism" correctly.

February 26, 2022 Nosferatu (1922)
Timestamps: 01:08 - Production/Cast; 36:38 - Plot
Jason and William lay out all the facts about this film's wonderful history, and the colorful cast. The facts about Max Schreck will do, Donkey, they'll do. They get carried away babbling about the plot and Count Olaf. I meant Orlok. Also they... Wait... Is that a deathbird...?? (faints)

February 12, 2022Der Golem (1920)
Timestamps: 01:15 - Production/Cast; 20:02 - Plot
The dynamic duo introduce the fine fellow The Golem and his awesome hair-(I mean, his normal hair. Whaaat? Totally don't like that dude.)

They go over the entire movie's plot in excruciating detail. As much as this hunk of a junk- (I mean, conspicuous rock) has.

And they begin to cover German expressionism and the current state of Germany in the '20s.

Timestamps: 17:04 - Moon Plot; 37:40 - Moon Production/Cast; 56:00 - Frankenstein
Jason and William talk about why they decided to create the podcast, and what movies they're going to cover. They then discuss the plot and special effects of the influential "A Trip to the Moon" and about the people who made it, and the events that transpired. They also chat a little about 1910's Frankenstein, a movie that was like Frankenstein's monster in and of itself.
