Okay, so the Labor Day holiday held up the completion of the new episode.  It will be on the way soon...

In it, I'll be talking about a 1972 TV movie, Strangers in 7A.

I hope to record the next episode this weekend.  The review will have to be a surprise.  I also plan to record a negative numbered episode and post it prior to a new proper episode.  (Those familiar with The Comic Book Attic format know what I mean).

Libsyn is experiencing problems.  There has been trouble uploading files today, and I have 2 new Cinematic Attic podcasts ready for posting.  Furthermore, I have found myself unable to download the past 4 episodes all of a sudden.  So, hopefully, this'll be cleared up soon.

Hi everyone.  This is going to be the one-stop place to keep tabs on what I've been up to.  In addition to the audio entries that I'll try to post at least once a week, I'll post photos and anything else of interest. 

So, if you are a friend, family member, or minion, bookmark this site.  (...And if you are a stranger who has stumbled onto this site by accident, you're welcome to look and listen, but don't expect to be entertained or impressed.) -Mike

My friend JJ and I went to Luray, VA, this past weekend.  Went to the caverns/maze/car museum there.  It was the second visit for me.  Got a pic of Valentino's car in the museum.  Thought it might be of interest to cinema fans out there...  Photo by JJ.

Whenever possible, I will post the movies I'll be talking about in the next episode so that you can watch them if you like.  In episode 5, I'll be talking about Hud from 1963(since I used it's pic in ep.3, why not?) and 1985's Keeping Track.  Here's a link to the trailer for Keeping Track:

While I'm at it, here are trailers for past reviewed films:

Hopefully, the next episode will be up this week.  It will feature one review, and I'll talk about what I've been watching...

Nothing special, but I thought it might be fun to see my surprise at suddenly being told I'm well-maintained... what does that mean, anyway?!

This episode is just a ramble-fest as I talk about some of the movies I've seen this year.  More structured reviews will return next month.  Also, forgive the new microphone! (50:59)

Hi, folks.  It looks like the usual frequency of this podcast will be monthly, so I will try to make the shows longer or split a longer show into two shorter ones. 
Episode 2 will be out by the end of March.
Now that my internet service has returned, I also plan to have The CA on iTunes by the end of the month.
Meantime, give my favorite movie podcast a try: Mondo Movie.
You can also try Movie Noise (and Cinerama) and Cinemaslave.

H'lo.  To those of you who listen to my main podcast, The Comic Book Attic, thanks for trying this one too.  To everyone else, nice to meet you.
The plan and details concerning this podcast will be covered in the upcoming episode #0; however, I expect it to be a twice-monthly podcast all about cult movies, B-movies, explotation movies, arthouse movies, and all other older, obscure adventures in genre film. 
The Cinematic Attic blogpage will be (I hope) an active place too, with lots of info and lists of films I've seen (with comments).
Thanks,
Mike Pindell

I have had to rethink and restructure the podcasts I do in terms of cost and time.

As of this writing, I have five libsyn accounts (including this one), and only one of them takes decent advantage of its account space.  As libsyn prices go up and available time to record podcasts fluxuates, I've had to consider an alternative to the five account situation.

The Attic of Babel was created to function as a place for many different podcasts that you could subscribe to separately through the splitfeed category option.  This originally did not include podcasts that already had their own account pages.  This will no longer be the case.

With the exception of The Comic Book Attic (which will stay as it is, where it is), all other podcasts by me will be housed here at The Attic of Babel account site.

Over the next couple months, I will be moving all content (episodes, blog entries, etc.) of The Cinematic Attic, The Attic Enigmatic, and The Stereoplanetary Attic here.  They will reappear in the chronological order of their original posting date.  Their original posting date will be noted, as well as all comments that were left on the original blogpages.  When all content has been transferred from those three sites, the original blogpages and feeds will be deleted.

When all is said and done, there will only be two libsyn account sites for Attic podcasts: The Comic Book Attic and this one.

I apologize for any inconvenience.  With luck, this will streamline and centralize my podcasts while saving me a bit of money in the process.
