Whether you listened to us on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM last night or not, this is a podcast From The Basement you're not gonna want to miss. For one, we interviewed cinematographer Brandon Lee Cox about the art of cinematography, his career, and his new movie, Line of Duty, with director Steven C. Miller. It's a great conversation with an enthusiastic and talented filmmaker. So it's a must listen if you haven't heard it yet. If you did tune in last night, we've got the full 17-minute chat, so there's more of it for you to hear! How's that work? Stick with us! And stay tuned, as Jason and Shawn review the Netflix hit Don't F**k with Cats, which isn't about cute kittens at all. In fact, it's a documentary about the hunt for one of Canada's most notorious killers, Luka Magnotta. The Basement Boys also review the current blockbuster 1917, the non-blockbuster Deep Blue Sea 2, and catch up with Terminator: Dark Fate. There's more --...

We don't get a lot of war movies these days, at least ones that take place during the last century. And it's been awhile since there's been a flick set in World War 1. The last one I watched was Flyboys... Ahem. Now there's Same Mendes's 1917, a film that's garnered a lot of praise for its technical achievements and stirring -- yet simple -- story. In fact, it's now considered the front runner for Best Picture at the Oscars. Is the movie worth the hype? Stick with me! To make a long story short: this is a riveting one-shot movie that unfolds largely in real time. It's a brilliantly mounted epic that immerses the viewer in the horrors of one of the most brutal conflicts in human history without beating us over the head with a war-is-hell message. The attention to detail is astounding, the plot unpredictable, and the tension barely tolerable. And yes, the cinematography is captivating. The acting? Spot on. There. How's that for a review? I ca...

It's all over but the shouting... err, that is last night's From The Basement broadcast on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops was another roaring success. And now it's time to unleash the podcast. No interviews this week -- we're saving them for the weeks to come -- but we do have several reviews on the chopping block which will surely tickle your ear holes. Jay took in the new Aaron Eckhart action flick Line of Duty, and the monster movie Crypsis. One was great, the other the opposite of great. Hazard a guess which is worth your time? Stick with us! And stick around as Shawn weighs in on Netflix's Dracula, and the sequel to Goon. He also has an amusing story on the limits of friendship, especially when faced with a potential beast in the woods. It's a shocking tale, we promise you that. There's also interesting conversations about the placement of YouTube ads, Ricky Gervais's Golden Globes speech, and too-serious TV. Hey, we warned you this i...
