The end is the beginning

After four years of kick-ass podcasts, radio shows and almost non-stop site updates, Shawn and yours truly are taking a break from The Basement.

Are we finished? No. But there won't be regular episodes and site updates for the time being. Suffice to say, we won't return for a fifth season on 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops come October.

Why? Not because the show has lost popularity. We still knock 'em dead on a weekly basis. This past season was our most popular yet and the last two podcasts, including the June special, have been among our biggest episode debuts ever. You love us. You really love us!

But four years is a long time bust ass the way Shawn and I do. We've got families and day jobs on top of everything Basement related. Plus we're hip deep in a couple of film projects that will come to a head here in the next couple of months.

As awesome as us Basement Dwellers are, something has to give. So we humbly set aside our Basement duties for the time being.

Don't fret, we're not going to ignore the one thing that brought all this awesomeness our way. We promise you a Halloween special, because we just gotta. And, when the spirits move us and we have something to share, we'll fire a podcast your way. Ditto for posts here on the site.

Have something you want us to watch, review or mention? Let us know at basementreviews@gmail.com.

You Basementites are the best, and we promise that you won't be ignored. As Shawn likes to point out, when we have something to say, you damn well know we'll say it. And we've got an open invitation to return to The X when we are able. This makes us smile.

Thanks to everyone who's stood by us the last four years. This is not the end, but a beginning.

Stick with us!

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...
