Next on the chopping block: I Am Bruce Lee

By now it should be no secret that Jason and Shawn -- Shawn especially -- are hard-core Bruce Lee fans. He's the Elvis of martial arts, a worldwide fighting icon, and the debated father of Mixed Martial Arts. And he made some fucking good movies.

Whether you're a movie fan or a martial arts fan, it's hard not to be interested in the life and times of Bruce Lee. Which is why our resident Basement Dwellers are keen to dive into Pete McCormack's documentary on the master, I Am Bruce Lee. Giving weight to the project is the support of Lee's wife, Linda Lee Cadwell, and daughter, Shannon Lee.

But do we really need to know what basketball player Kobe Bryant and some guy from The Black Eyed Peas thinks of Lee? I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion. Plus there's insight from the likes of Mickey Rourke and Gina Carano.

Do all these elements, opinions and the promise of never-before-seen footage come together to make an effective documentary? You can find out when the August Special goes live tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. Stick with us!

Plus, we've got an exclusive interview with the only Bourne in the new movie The Bourne Legacy -- stunt pilot Chuck Bourne! Stick with us some more!

Our special episodes are stripped down versions of the radio show. Just a review and some lively banter. We'll be back in The Basement and back on 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops and RadioAmplifire in October for all new episodes with Season Four. Stick with us!

Now for a look at our coming attraction:

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
