The Basement and Lance Henriksen

As regular Basement readers/listeners know, Shawn and I interviewed Troy Foreman and James McLean of the Back to Frank Black campaign about a month ago. That effort is doing its damnedest to bring Lance Henriksen's late 90s TV series Millennium back for a proper send off.

A big part of Back to Frank Black is the Millennium Group Sessions podcast, which has featured Lance, series creator Chris Carter and most, if not all, of the cast and crew.

Well, Shawn and I must have made a decent impression on Troy and James, as we were invited to take part in one of the Millennium Sessions, and got to speak with the man himself -- Lance Henriksen!

That episode recorded last Sunday, and will debut on the official Back to Frank Black website on June 1. Wanna hear Shawn and I almost lose our composure? Then wait for the moment we find out that we're going to speak to Lance, who us Basement Boys are huge fans of.

It's a great conversation, and we had a blast sitting in with Troy and James, who are kindred spirits. We encourage all Basementites to tune in right here or on iTunes when the episode debuts. Don't worry, we'll make sure you all have easy access to it.

Spoiler alert: Lance is a super awesome guy :)

  1. Awesome, I've had a few opportunities to talk to actors and I've been lucky that they have all been great guys. I was a big fan of Millennium when it came out though it's been a long time since I've revisited it. Kudos on the conversation, might have to check it out.

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
