Water Cooler: More Delays and Theaters Fight Back with Shang-Chi

Oh hey there friends. Welcome back to another fun little installment of Cinemasters. We’re kind of low key today. Just some friendly water cooler talk. Kind of like a fireside chat but with more casual beverages and movie news with less spirited libations and singular movie focus. From time to time our Cinemasters will be dropping these little updates as necessary. The movie industry is an ever changing one given the state of the world right now. From scheduling changes to studio bulletins, The Rental King and Nighthawk will be chiming in with their two cents on everything that’s bubbling up around the proverbial office. So sit back and enjoy an abbreviated episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Mastering 'The Suicide Squad' (2021)

What do you get when you cross a Troma director with a penchant for R rated shenanigans with an amazing cast of some of the worst (in EVERY sense of the word) bad guys that DC ever cooked up? The answer is the best damn Suicide Squad movie there is. Welcome back Cinemaster fans! This time around we’re sitting in with Ron and Adam as they talk about a new movie still in theaters. So this should serve as your SPOILERS WARNING! Our Cinemasters will be talking about the movie in detail so if you’ve not seen the flick yet just know they both HIGHLY endorse it and have enjoyed it probably close to 10 times or more between the two of them. So grab your tiny bullets, your toilet seat helmet and your completely misguided sense of how far you’d go for liberty and enjoy this new episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Mastering 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' (1991)

Gather ‘round Cinemaster fans and get toasty by the crackling flames as we enjoy our second Fireside Chat! This time we will be discussing the Schwarzenegger classic, “Terminator 2”. Sit in with Ron and Adam as they speak fondly of this summer blockbuster in the follow up half to our most recent series. Comfy in their velvet clad wingback chairs, clad in the classiest of smoking jackets, the Cinemasters will cover time travel, tasteful nudity, and vehicles that start by slightly lowering the driver side visor while simultaneously playing “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. The conversations will jubilantly bounce around from topic to topic and you’ll even get some added bonus banter in the last third of the podcast. So give me your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle (so you can’t go anywhere) and enjoy this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Mastering 'Jurassic Park' (1993)

Welcome Back loyal fans! Summer time has always meant one thing to movie lovers: The Blockbuster! It’s been a while since we’ve had a real iconic summer blockbuster, especially since the summer movie season starts in early spring, anymore. Come join Ron “The Rental King” Avis and Adam “Nighthawk Peterson as they casually meander through their first ever “Fireside Chat” and talk about a beloved classic, Jurassic Park. This Speilbergian gem from the early 90’s is a pillar in the blockbuster community and one that has brought cinematic wonder to multiple generations now. Hear the Cinemasters regale you with their experiences with the film, insights on the character and plot and a good bit of entertaining banter to bring it all together on this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Mastering 'License to Drive' (1988)

If you arrive at a four way stop with a Cinemaster to your left and one to your right and Billy Ocean directly across from you, who has the right of way? As long as you’re one of the Corey’s in a mint green Cadillac then the answer is most definitely you! This week Ron and Adam get into the 1988 coming of age classic “License to Drive” featuring the iconic Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. To be 16 again and chasing that coveted driver’s license is something a lot of us can relate to. Our Cinemasters also give a hefty salute to Richard Masur as a true “Rad Dad” of cinema in the month of June. So get out of your dreams, hop into the car with Ron, Adam and Billy Ocean and see what this classic 80’s comedy is all about in this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Mastering 'Drop Dead Fred' (1991)

Round two of our Movies that May have aged well is back in full effect and this time our Cinemasters are taking on the 1991 “cult” classic of imaginary proportions, “Drop Dead Fred”. Is this film the ultimate definition of childhood friends only you could see or perhaps a precursor to a Tyler Durden fever dream. Ron and Adam will weigh in on all things Fred in this installment and help us understand why anyone would live on a paddleboat, get a mommy and me makeover or date Tim Matheson in general. To see how things turn out for young Lizzie and her larger than life best bud, Fred, you’ll have to tune in to this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

 

Mastering 'Vice Versa' (1988)

Vice Versa Summary

 

Welcome Cinemaster fans to the first episode of our “Movies that May not have aged well”. In this installment we have a very special guest returning to join Ron and Adam. White Machete sit’s in to discuss the 1988 body swap classic “Vice Versa”. Our three Cinemasters discuss the ups and downs of the adventures of Judge Reinhold as Fred Savage and Fred Savage as Judge Reinhold. Two fish out of water just trying to figure out how to get back. Between sweet drum solos, mysterious skulls and awkward “Mony, Mony” montages, our Cinemasters break down this flick to find out whether it does hold up or not. Curious to see how things end up? You’ll just have to listen in on this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Mastering 'Beavis and Butt-Head Do America' (1996)

Let’s finish out our month of Fools with Mike Judge’s dynamically dumb duo of Beavis and Butt-head as they “do” America. Charged up with 90’s MTV nostalgia and nary a brain cell between the pair, these animated fools awkwardly giggle through 81 minutes of double entendres in hopes of one big score and a new television set. Add in a bevy of celebrity voices, a Rob Zombie musical interlude and enough cavity searches to bankrupt the American Dental Association and you’ve got a modern classic for the ages. Join our Ron and Adam for one final bout of foolishness in this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Mastering 'The Jerk' (1979)

Hey there Cinemaster fans and thanks for coming back to episode 3 of our April Fools series we’re in. This week we are looking at the 1979 Steve Martin classic “The Jerk”. Join Adam and Ron as they walk through this flick from humble beginnings in Mississippi to the height of wealth in this rags to riches tale of Navin R. Johnson. From guessing weight in a carnival to the spontaneous publicity of seeing his name in print at Hartounian’s Gas Station, Navin lives a very interesting life and our Cinemasters will be right there to walk through the highs and lows. So grab your Mr. Bubbles and settle into the tub for another foolish episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Mastering 'Billy Madison' (1995)

ULTRAVIOLET RAYS BAD. CINEMASTERS GOOD. Welcome back to the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE continuing with our April tribute to "fools". This week Ron picked one of the 90's most prolific fools, Adam Sandler, in his breakout feature film 'Billy Madison'.
