Cinemaslave #111: The (Iron) Eagle Has Landed
Joe throws another of his favorite childhood movies under the bus this week by revisiting "Iron Eagle", and is saddened to learn that the film is nothing more than an unabashed ode to the Reagan era. We also revisit the "gore vs. suspense" debate, ponder the proper uses of CGI in modern cinema, and discuss several irrational movie fears. We also attempt to settle once and for all whether "Juno" is actually a treasured cinematic gem or an overrated faux-chic flick. But eventually Cherilyn from Canada saves us all with a guest review of "Run Fatboy Run".

Cinemaslave #110: I Love My Mummy
Joe examines the "Suspense vs. Gore" debate currently raging among modern horror fans, and realizes he'd rather watch "Friday the 13th Part II" than anything Eli Roth will ever make. Your intrepid host also finds time to wrap himself in bandages, make some tana-leaf potion, and have a look at all five of Universal's classic "Mummy" flicks before Cherilyn in Ontario restores some integrity to the proceedings with a rational look at the Canadian TV premiere of "Grindhouse".

Cinemaslave #109: Vampires on the Bayou
A very grateful Joe is trying to claw his way out of the avalanche of listener feedback inspired by the last episode. Spike Lee once again comes under our cinematic microscope as we take a look at his astonishing four-hour New Orleans documentary "When the Levees Broke", and we rehash the age-old debate of whether a writer or director is more integral to a movie's success. Joe also spends a bit of time pondering why a 16mm film print of his favorite flick seems to be forever beyond his grasp, and evaluates possible medical treatments for a Cinemaslave listener who didn't like "Once".

Cinemaslave #108: Posturing, Paradigms, and Polonias
If this is your first time listening to Cinemaslave, you might want to try a different episode. Joe's got his panties in a bunch after a screening of Mel Brooks' horrendous "Silent Movie", and is now (indirectly) considering a massive overhaul of the show's format as a result. (Regular listeners, please weigh in with your thoughts.) Your intrepid host also takes a few minutes to say farewell to his late friend, indie filmmaker John Polonia. Quite possibly the strangest episode ever.

CInemaslave #107: Isn't This Where We Came In?
It's a largely improvised show this week as Joe reflects on how everything, and nothing, has changed about the movie business in the past hundred years. Critics are bothered by big-budget filmmaking? Directors aren't getting final cut? Hollywood's paranoid about the future of home video? You'll be surprised how far back some of these issues go.

Cinemaslave #106: Dyslexic Militants Pight the Flower!
The discussion of movie racism continues this week with a look at Spike Lee's sensational but controversial call-to-arms, "Do the Right Thing". Joe also bids farewell to one of his all-time favorite actors as we mourn the passing of Roy Scheider, who's finally going to get that bigger boat he always wanted. And your fellow Cinemaslaves do their part with a string of intelligent, articulate voicemails on film censorship and D.W. Griffith's notorious and much-maligned movie blockbuster in this epic-length show.

Cinemaslave #105: Blame it on Batman
The best laid plans, folks. After Joe happened to catch a screening of Columbia Pictures' 1943 Batman film this week, and found himself horrified by its unabashed anti-Japanese sentiment, Joe threw out the planned episode and instead devotes this installment of the 'Slave to a look at cinematic racism. We'll continue the discussion next week, but for now, tip-toe with your host through the minefields of D.W. Griffith and Al Jolson's The Jazz Singer as we explore the effects that outdated prejudices can have on a film's artistic legacy.

Cinemaslave #104: Meet the Spleen (Venting Optional)
You may think you've heard Joe angry before, but this episode is out for blood. Put it this way: Joe thinks the three most horrifying things to happen to the world in the last hundred years are the Holocaust, the 9/11 attacks, and the release of "Meet the Spartans." You wanna hear a pissed-off, sleep-deprived podcaster mourn the end of cinema from high atop his soapbox? You've come to the right place, baby. He'll also compare and contrast a much better spoof movie, "Airplane!" (1980), with the film that inspired it, "Zero Hour!" (1957), and try to determine whether the former is a parody, a remake, or some glorious hybrid. Just don't call him Shirley.

Cinemaslave #103: The Monster in the Oil Field
Grab a sweater because Hell has apparently frozen over -- Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" has opened in Scranton! Now that Joe's had time to pick himself up and dust himself off (after being bowled over at the screening), he's all too happy to spill the beans on this Best Picture nominee. In other news, your intrepid host bids farewell to a real Joker, Manhattan gets destroyed yet again, and Joe calls for the extermination of the Sundance Film Festival in a completely spontaneous and unplanned rant. Plenty of bile can be yours, if the price is right.

Cinemaslave #102: No Country for Old Songwriters
Inspired by the abundance of Terminator movies he's been watching lately, Joe decides to fend off his current head cold by sending Arnold Schwarzenegger back in time to give him some chicken soup before he got sick. It didn't work, so please excuse the sniffles and coughs this week. Who would believe that Joe would discover his two favorite films of 2007 within 24 hours of each other? Not Joe, that's for sure. But it happened, and your intrepid host is bursting at the seams to spread his love for the Coen Brothers' mesmerizing "No Country for Old Men," and the haunting Irish anti-musical, "Once." But then he has to ruin the fun by bringing up "Terminator 3." He's sorry.

Cinemaslave #101: Little Juno Needs to Terminate
Oh beloved HD-DVD, we hardly knew ye. In this week's episode, Joe bids farewell to the apparent loser of the Hi-Definition Format War, but isn't very happy about it. Nonetheless, he finds the strength to carry on and talk about Werner Herzog, the much-hyped Oscar contender Juno, and the various ways to win friends and influence liquid metal cyborgs, with none of that unpleasant schmaltzy aftertaste.

Cinemaslave #100: Aliens vs. Predator vs. Joe
Holy crap, it's a new episode of CInemaslave! Could this be the start of a glorious trend? You bet your sweet robot ass. Joe hunkers down in his secret basement movie lair to revisit James Cameron's Terminator and answer a slew of listener feedback. Because he's a glutton for punishment, Joe also endures horrible multiplex crowds to bring you his thoughts on I Am Legend, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and the latest cinematic abomination claiming to be an Alien film. For an encore, he even attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding the identity of Poltergeist's REAL director. (And yes, Joe missed you too.)

Cinemaslave #99: The Zombie and the Carpenter
Halloween comes early this year, as an irate Joe compares and contrasts two incarnations of the original movie boogeyman, Little Mikey Myers. How does Rob Zombie's film stack up? Let's put it this way: the phrase "putrid hunk of rotting feces" would be too kind. No listener feedback this week... get your comments in for episode #100.

Cinemaslave #98: General-ly Speaking...
In today's episode, Joe charges the Yankee lines with a look at Buster Keaton's stunning silent Civil War epic, The General. He also shares the lessons he learned during the Extra Extra casting process, and, despite one listener's prompting, he still fails to get excited over any G.I. Joe movie with Stephen Sommers at the helm. For complete shownotes, please visit www.cinemaslave.com.

Cinemaslave #97: Mad Hot Horror
In today's episode, Joe puts on his ballroom dancing shoes, but still finds girls gross and nasty. Fortunately, a fantastic new documentary about the golden days of Universal Studios helps to elevate his mood... until he discovers that Stephen Sommers plans to commit artistic homicide once again. Fortunately, a bit more talk about the Alien trilogy can help get the taste of Cinematic Death out of our collective mouths.

Cinemaslave #96: To Be Or Not To Be In Springfield
Joe dons his tights, fondles a skull, and trods the boards to bring you a look at Kenneth Branagh's stunning adaptation of Hamlet, written by a little-known playwright who once appeared on Doctor Who. We also mourn the recent death of actor Jason Lee (well, his career at least), and take a super-quick look at The Simpsons Movie and Underdog. And, in a very special edition of listener feedback, Joe explains how the "Edited for Television" version of Poltergeist made him poop his pants.

Cinemaslave #95: Studio Zeitgeists Killed My Daddy
Joe's cowering behind the sofa this week after watching a terrifying documentary about government corruption that just might change the way you look at the world. There's also ranting aplenty over New York City's controversial new anti-filmmaking laws and a certain reality TV show that strives to make artists into conformists. But don't worry... Joe also finds time to mourn for Bergman, Antonioni, and the people of Minneapolis in this "all over the map" episode.

Cinemaslave #94: Hungry Hungry Samurai
Joe and his iBook are back from the Land of the Dead (and incompetent computer repairmen) to serve up a show that's short on length but heavy on content. Akira Kurosawa gets his turn under the microscope at last as Joe dissects the seminal Japanese epic, "Seven Samurai." In addition, your intrepid host makes several big announcements that are sure to make you wonder if the world has gone mad. (The answer is: "It would appear so.")
