Exit 727, Skinwalker Ranch and The Art of the Steal interview

Talk to a Basementite born in the 70s and 80s, or any movie geek worth his or her salt, and there's general agreement that Kurt Russell is the man.

Think about it: Escape from New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Tango and Cash and even later efforts like Breakdown and Executive Decision are either cult favourites or bonafide modern classics.

So when word reached The Basement that Russell has a new movie coming out -- his first starring role since 2007's Death Proof -- Jason and Shawn took notice. And The Basement Boys are proud to present a 15-minute exclusive interview with the producer of The Art of the Steal, Nicholas Tabarrok.

Nicholas talks The Art of the Steal, working with Kurt Russell and his all-star cast of co-stars, plus other genre flicks he has coming down the pike. It's a great interview, one of the best in Basement history.

Plus Jason and Shawn put two films on the chopping block; the crime-thriller Exit 727 and the spooky found-footage flick Skinwalker Ranch. But, and this is a heavy but, they break with tradition when it comes to throwing down with the merits of each. How so? Stick with us!

The latest episode lands in the a.m. Until then, here's a look at our filmed entertainment.

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...
