Grave Encounters 2 and Maximum Conviction

The Vicious Brothers' found-footage flick Grave Encounters is one of the finest horror movies of the last couple of years. It's witty, well acted, expertly executed and creepy as fuck. And it prompted The Basement to coin the phrase Shorts Shitting Entertainment. You owe us a nickle for every time you say that, by the way.

A sequel was inevitable given the film's success. This time, the brothers take a meta approach, implying that Grave Encounters is just a film and the events in this follow-up are inspired by it. Or something like that. The brothers also turned the directing duties over to John Poliquin and instead focused on writing the script.

Now it must be asked, how does Grave Encounters 2 stand up? That's a question Jason and Shawn intend to answer tonight as the movie is placed on the chopping block. Good, Bad or Ugly? Stick with us!

Then, if you thought the Basement Dwellers were all out of Fat Steven Seagal jokes, think again. The boys take on the latest effort from the 80s martial arts/action icon, Maximum Conviction. His guest star isn't the expected bucket or chicken either. Seagal has Stone Cold Steve Austin by his side, so who knows? Could be a winner. Or not.

You can find out at 10 p.m. PST at 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops and online at www.thex.ca. And follow along to the mad tweets of Mike S of The Corner of Terror on Twitter! We promise you that you won't have to think too hard for the hour we're on the air.

Note: there will be no show next week, Nov. 22, as Jason is busy getting himself killed in Montreal on the set of Billy Trigger with John Fallon and Fred Williamson. We'll be back Nov. 29 with a full report.

Now some previews, previews, previews!

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...
