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. https://cinematicfanpodcast.wordpress.com/ https://cinematicfantas.transistor.fm
