Cinemasters: Trivia Junket: Vol. 5 (Graduation and Summer Edition)

Trivia fans, come on down! It’s time for another episode featuring one of our absolute favorite things to do and that is test our collective movie knowledge. We are back again with another round of questions for each other to see just how much of a mastery we have on the cinema. As it stands we are tied with one win a piece and a couple of draws under our belt. We always have  a lot of fun coming up with, asking and answering the questions and this episode was particularly fun to make. As usual, we have no idea what the topics are ahead of time and we simply have to do our best to get as many correct answers as we can. Will there be a new champion? Will we face off and have another tie? Will we get all of them wrong and be forced into humiliation and stop doing this forever? The only way you’ll really be able to find out what happens is when you tune in and listen to this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Cinemasters: Scoob! Review

Hey again there Cinemaster fans. We’re back with a different sort of program in these different kinds of times.

There may be a spoiler or two about some of the aspects of the film but the review is chock full of all sorts of wonderfulness. So be sure to tune in for this very special take on all things Scooby Dooby Doo in this episode of the CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

A Tribute to Pac-Man in the 80's (40th Anniversary Tribute) - Episode 61

It's hard to believe it's been 40 years since the little yellow pizza with a missing slice first gobbled pellets in arcades, laundry mats and convenient stores, our homes and bed-spreads across America. The BitGeeks take a look at the mania that was Pac-Man in the 1980's.

Cinemasters: 20 Memorable Movie Quotes

Everybody loves a good movie quote. It’s like a secret language that only those who have seen a particular film can speak. Some quotes go far and wide for big blockbusters and others sneak by and are only caught on the radar of a select few for a cult classic. Whatever the quote is, we all have some that we hold near and dear to us. In this Feature Presentation the Cinemasters are bringing you 20 classic quotes that they love. Obviously this is a hard subject to whittle down to a top 10 so there’s no sense in painting ourselves into a corner. This is a subject we are just scratching the surface on and will be sure to revisit in the future. One thing is for sure, these quotes will have you reminiscing in some of your favorite flicks and will definitely spark some of your favorite quotes as well. So sit back and enjoy as Ron and Adam bring you 20 of their favorite quotable lines from movies across the spectrum in this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

Cinemasters: State of the Cinematic Union Part 2

We are firmly into the Cinematic desert we never thought we’d find ourselves in and there have been some adjustments in the landscape we’d like to discuss as a living record of our takes on these strange days. First we have to cover the battle of the industries. With Universal Studios recent Video On Demand rental of Trolls World Tour apparently doing as well as it has, it’s opened up a bit of a Pandora’s Box in the movie world. AMC theaters is pushing back with the promise to not show ANY Universal movies in their theaters once things open back up. Who needs who more in the landscape ahead is what’s on everyones’ minds going forward. Will AMC be able to survive by boycotting films like Jurassic World: Dominion or F9, the latest in the Fast and Furious series? Is this a huge overreaction that they’ll have to shamefully walk back the morning after? We’ll discuss all this and much more in the world of VOD going forward. We’ll also take a look at the latest Star Wars news regarding Taika Waititi joining the ranks as the newest director on board to helm a picture in the world after Skywalker. We’re both quite excited at this news and wanted to bring a little positivity to the forefront. You’ll get all this and more in part 2 of the State of the Cinematic Union on this episode of CINEMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!
