Ivan Kavanagh brings his Son to the mighty NL

Tonight, From The Basement celebrates the release of the new movie Son, the latest flick from Irish writer/director Ivan Kavanagh. Why is this a movie worth celebrating?

Well, if we told you this, then you likely wouldn't tune in to the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops, and that's something we definitely want you to do!

The film stars Andi Matichak of Halloween 2018 fame as a single mother and cult survivor who must take her young son on the run when they're threatened by dark forces. She's aided by Emile Hirsch's cop. Son, which hits limited theatres, On Demand, and Digital today, is getting great reviews, but what do Jason and Shawn thing? Stick with us!

And stick with us you shall as we interview Ivan and delve into his inspiration for this dark ride. We also talk his writing process, and the film's many twists and turns.

The Basement Boys caught a few older flicks as well, and chime in on those in case you're in need of other viewing choices. Plus there's a wee bit of movie news to discuss.

The fun begins tonight at 6:05, and only on Radio NL. Note this episode repeats Saturday at 7 P.M. and Sunday at 6 A.M. The podcast -- with even more of our interview with Ivan Kavanagh -- drops Monday morning.

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...
