The Basement and The Diner: the podcast cliffhanger

It's no secret that we in The Basement are proud members of the 2nd Unit Podcast Network, a collection of groovy and talented podcasters intent on world domination via entertaining the masses.

We also like to spam their Facebook page with our content, but what are friends for?

On Saturday, after months of planning, Shawn and I sit down with 2nd Unit brethren Jon Cross of The After Movie Diner to record two parts of a podcast-cliffhanger experiment. We're going to review two movies, featuring one on The Diner and the other in The Basement. In order to hear our complete thoughts on each film you'll have to listen to both shows.

Bastards we are.

What movies will we be reviewing? Cross has picked a couple of 1970s car chase classics to thrill and chill you and hopefully make for interesting chatter. First up is the 1974 Peter Fonda/Susan George epic Dirty Larry Crazy Mary. Then we time travel to 1975 for more Peter Fonda . . . this time alongside Warren Oates in Race with the Devil. Cross must like him his Fonda. But who doesn't, really?

The After Movie Diner, and our review of Dirty Larry Crazy Mary, goes live Monday, Aug. 20. Then hit up The Basement on Saturday, Aug. 25, for our thoughts on Race with the Devil. It will be so awesome, you'll be awesomed out by its awesomeness.

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...
