Deadfall and Extracted

Because nothing says thrill like a good thriller, Jason and Shawn take a break from the beasts, boobs and blood of the last few weeks to tackle a pair of . . . well . . . thrillers.

First up is the crime caper Deadfall starring a whole schwack of A-list talent including Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde and Kate Mara. Plus there's Hollywood veterans likes Treat Williams, Sissy Spacek and Kris Kristofferson -- sans Wesley Snipes of course.

What's it about? Two siblings decide to fend for themselves in the wake of a botched casino heist. But their paths cross during another family's Thanksgiving celebration.

Our next flick comes with a sci-fi twist. Extracted tells the story of scientist who has invented a technique to watch people's memories. He finds himself in a dangerous situation when he's tasked with entering a heroin addict's mind to see whether the man committed murder.

And because nothing says Valentine's Day like a B-movie review show starring a couple of foul-mouthed assholes, the Basement Boys share their thoughts on the Top 5 best non-romantic date movies. Isn't that sweet?

Plus, Shawn takes five minutes or so to update Basementites on writer/director Ryan Shovey's quest to get his slasher movie Hunter to the big screen. Wanna help Ryan get his film made? Then you have to listen!

So tune in at 10 p.m. PST at 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops and online at www.thex.ca. You can follow along to the mad tweets of Mike S over on Twitter. Stick with us!

Note: the podcast version of the show will be available tomorrow, that's Friday, morning. Now for some 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...
