Cinemaslave #118: Sita Sings the Blues/Nina Paley Interview | In this week's podcast, Joe gives the lion's share of his attention and affection to one of the most perfect and personal films to come along in a very long time: Nina Paley's animated feature, Sita Sings the Blues. Ms. Paley drops by to chat with us about the history of the project, but Kent from Cincinnati has to ruin the good vibes by indirectly getting Joe started on the Clash of the Titans remake and its constructed-from-oak leading man. Fortunately, two Val Lewton films help get the taste of a skinhead, Keanu-esque Perseus out of our collective mouths. (I know, I know... that's what *SHE* said, right?) | 13 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cinemaslave #117: A Leopard Off the Starboard Bow | A movie works best when a viewer can believe in its setting and time frame, and Joe uses this theory to explain why some Friday the 13th films suck more than others. (You're welcome.) Although the bulk of the episode is given over to the next two films in our Val Lewton marathon, Joe also finds time to wax poetic about a recently unearthed Don Coscarelli gem, and fills you in on some big changes coming down the podcasting pike. | 21 3 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cinemaslave #116: Rotoscoping Renfield/Keith Carter Interview | Joe's all-time favorite movie, F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent horror masterpiece Nosferatu, is getting the 3D treatment in a new remake/reimagining/re-editing/modernization called Orlock the Vampire in 3D. Special guest Keith Carter, the animator/director behind Orlock, joins Joe for an in-depth discussion on this new project, the lure of 3D technology, the appropriateness of tinkering with classic films, the world's greatest video stores, and other Cinemaslave-flavored topics. The Val Lewton marathon continues next episode with The Leopard Man and Ghost Ship. Happy Halloween! | 31 10 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cinemaslave #115: Hooray for Zombiewood! | A sad time in Cinemaslave-land as we mourn the man who arguably invented movie fandom. (No, dummy, not Michael Jackson.) Joe also opens up the rather dusty listener feedback archives before fawning all over Disc 2 of the Val Lewton box set, which contains the films I Walked With a Zombie and The Body Snatcher. Oh, what a time. The third installment of the Val Lewton marathon, to be released on the 12th of Whenever, will feature the films The Leopard Man and Ghost Ship. | 14 7 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cinemaslave #114: Better Irate Than Never | Joe's unexpected four-month hiatus from the show is revealed to be nothing more than a dream -- it turns out he had the power to return to the podcast all along simply by clicking his heels together three times. There's ramblings aplenty here, as Joe explains where he's been, why it sucks a little less to watch movies in Scranton these days, and ushers in the first installment of our brand new Val Lewton marathon with a look at 1942's Cat People and its amazing sequel, 1944's Curse of the Cat People. | 23 1 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Another Great Cast
Joe is a helpful film reviewer that love tell you about what he does and doesn't like. Passionate and to the point, Cinemaslave gives us a refined critics view without the snobbishness.
Excellent
Cinemaslave is a podcast aimed at movie junkies who are after an in depth look at newly released and classic films. It is released about once a week and runs for about an hour and a half. Joe Barlow is the sole host of the show; however he is usually supported by numerous lengthy voice messages and email feedback from his listeners. Joe has an extensive knowledge of film and has been involved in numerous aspects of the film world including making his own short film and writing film reviews. What differentiates Cinemaslave from many other film review casts is that Joe does not have any set formula regarding the movies he reviews or how he reviews them. On recent shows you will hear reviews of the Star Wars trilogy, Snakes on a Plane, and the Japanese classic Gojira. Joe goes into a good deal of depth about each film and discusses what he likes and dislikes about the film in question in a measured and articulate manner. Cinemaslave takes pride in being a two way conversation between Joe and his fans. Listener email and voicemail make up a large section of the show and in many ways define the tone of the whole podcast. The inclusion of such a large amount of feedback makes the show more intimate and engages in different and sometimes contrary points of view. On the negative side, the large amount of listener feedback can take the show into dead alleyways at times and it can be difficult for the new or passive listener to feel fully part of the show. If you have more than a passing interest in film and are interested in increasing your film knowledge then this is one podcast you will enjoy. Cinemaslave, however, is not for the casual movie goer who usually only watches the biggest Hollywood blockbusters. While Joe does discuss some of these big-budget films, he goes into more depth than your average film review and discusses a broader range of movies than would be available at your New Release section at Blockbuster.
