Dominiquie Vandenberg in The Basement

There's a new action hero in town, and his name is Dominiquie Vandenberg.

While he might not be the household name Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme or even Steven Seagal are, he IS a real-life action hero. Dom served in the French Foreign Legion, he's a trained martial artist and knife combatant, and has fought in Thailand's famed freestyle fighting rings.

He's also a writer, warrior poet, and has appeared in more than a dozen movies. And he was the action choreographer on Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. Yup, he's worked with Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day Lewis!

Dom joins us tonight at 6:05 Pacific on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops to talk about his life, his career and his new movie The Mercenary, which hits Jan. 7. Believe us when we say to you this is a can't-miss interview with a fascinating human being.

But that's not all, as From The Basement celebrates a landmark today. We might be two months into our prime-time spot, but we're officially a decade old as a podcast and website, so Jason and Shawn will talk about that as well.

So tune in at 6:05 tonight on the 610 AM dial, or via the player to your right. We saved the New Year's Eve fireworks for Friday night!

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...
