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 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.

Son of Dracula (1943)

Care to let us entertain you for a bite? (Ehhhh? Ehhhh?) In this episode:

  • William dispels and weaponizes the smoke and mirrors (respectively) behind the creation of this last Dracula film.
  • Jason searches the bayou in galoshes for all the fine happenings and vampire mystery.
  • And I forgot The Waterboy. That's the movie I was thinking of.

Golden Gangsters: Key Largo (1948)

Well listen soldier, thousands of guys got podcasts but there's only one Johnny Rocco! In this episode:

  • Jason unveils all the intricacies of the script, demystifying the core of the gangster, and tells William about the comedy gangster films you haven't heard of.
  • And William constantly asks if we're there yet in between loudly eating Goldfish on the way to Key Largo. And, in terms of factual statements, drops some extra movie talk so juicy that even he doesn't know if it counts as 2 movies or 1.5.

  • Jason and William talked about the behind the scenes of the creation of this movie, the core ethos of gangster movies, Al Capone, the Anti Saloon League and moonshine tubs. What!?

Minisode #1 - Doctor X, Wax Museum and The Ghoul

A episode of mini proportions! Also a pretty fun one. I guess you should probably listen to it.

The movies:

  1. Doctor X, a murder mystery that goes to epic proportions.
  2. Mystery of The Wax Museum, another mystery about an evil sculptor and his twisted wax museum!
  3. The Ghoul, a British Universal knockoff that was terrible for many a number of reasons.

Who eats Little Babies Ice Cream? Why is that blonde girl NOT played by Fay Wray? And how does fire blow a door off its hinges? Let's find out!

Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)

Ghost of Frankenstein (1942)

The first Frankenstein franchise film without Karloff and it shows! In this episode:

  • Jason tries to see how many times he can call Ghost of Frankenstein's plot "bonkers".
  • William still finds plenty to like about this movie even though today's Frankenstein fans are unimpressed.
  • See Dr. Henry Frankenstein transform from to Colin Clive to Cedric Hardwicke after he dies. The afterlife has not been kind to the not-so-good-Doctor.
  • Can this franchise get worse? Maybe, but Bela Lugosi's Ygor is still the best! Can't kill him, can you?

We Watched Across The Spiderverse, How Was It?

Exclusively in theatres currently, we just watched Spiderman: Across The Spiderverse, the 2nd installment in a 3 part series rivaling the Spiderman trilogy and The Amazing Spiderman duology. In this video, we talk about this great animated masterpiece, so great it had to be split in 2, making us want more from the amazing universe. We discuss the character arcs in this movie and how they made these characters we've grown to love so much more human, and how jam-packed with Easter eggs to find this movie is.

Follow us on your favorite platform so you don't miss when we watch and review the last installment Spiderman: Beyond the Spiderverse coming out next year!

Dracula's Daughter (1936)

Dracula's Daughter (1936)

The movie where the only stakes are in the heart of the villain. In this episode:

  • The digression duo talk about this extremely crazy production that you'll never know how on Earth they managed to release the movie!
  • William sinks his teeth into the salty piece of jerky that is this movie's salty plot. And it's not potassium salts, nor magnesium salts. Sodium salts, baby!
  • And we don't drink wine. We drink cherry limeade flavored Dracul-aid in Transylvania! (Boy, am I feeling thirsty after so much talking about salt...!)

Things To Come (1936)

Things To Come (1936)

Blasting from a space gun near you! In this episode:

  • William compares H.G. Wells' ideas of the things to come to the fascinating realities of today, and all of his extremely accurate predictions!
  • Jason goes over the proposed future of humanity and many of its philosophical nooks and crannies.
  • And we experience scenes featuring complex model work and special effects for the biggest in-universe machines that even I still don't know how they pulled it off! (Also big credit to the epic music of Arthur Bliss, it really made this movie)

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)

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 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.

  • 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.

The grand finale!! (Of season 1, that is! We've got too much to come!) In this episode:

  • Jason prevents the production's ghostly hand from pinching his nose as he talks about it, and they both investigate the surface of the complex character that is Mr. Griffin.
  • And William rounds out the season with a plot as solid as a man but as imperceptible as an Invisible Man!
  • And our 1st season will have "A grand finish-up with a broken neck!"

  • And is William the beast and Jason the beauty? Or is it the other way round? WILL we EVER even FIND OUT?!?

  • And Champagne Ivy is her name.
