Entertainment Weekly got their grubby little hands (we mean that with the utmost respect) on the latest audience numbers for Netflix, a company historically tight lipped about their ratings, and the results are... not all that surprising. Not all that surprising, AND they confirm something Shawn and I have suspected for a long time -- people would rather stay home to watch quality content than go to a movie theatre. While most of the data supported Netflix's series, the viewership was revealed for Michael Bay and Ryan Reynold's action flick 6 Underground. The movie, which got much love from us in The Basement, was viewed by 83 million accounts within its first month of release. To put that in box-office perspective, the average price of a movie ticket in Canada is $12.99. So do the math, and 6 Underground would have made approximately $1 billion! That's a lot of coin, and on par with Avengers: Endgame, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Black Panther and other huge ...

Didn't have the chance to get in the ring with us last night? Well, never fear; From The Basement is here with a podcast version of last night's show on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops! Wanna listen again? That's fine too! It's what we're here for... what we're trained for... This week The Basement Boys talked Thrash Wrestling with promoter Justin Griffore. What's Thrash Wrestling? It's to wrestling what indie film is to film, and it's taking the Interior of British Columbia by storm. Justin, Jason and Shawn have a great chat about this entertaining event, and give you the 411 on how it works, and when future events are. But this is a movie show, and the Terrible Trio dug into Netflix's blockbuster 6 Underground from director Michael Bay and superstar Ryan Reynolds. Is it worth your time? Stick with us! And stick around for the weekend rundown of all things entertainment, including a discussion on some movie about a war in the stars...

It's a day 42 years in the making, and one that's already divided fans and critics. Yup, if anything can drive a wedge between its fanbase, yet guarantee they'll keep coming back for more, it is Star Wars. Today is the official release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and despite mixed reviews, the film is poised to open big. Like really big. Maybe not Avengers: Endgame big, but big! Jason and Shawn are gonna chime in on the final chapter of the Skywalker saga, but that's not the focus of tonight's episode on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops. Nope, tonight is all about wrestling -- Thrash Wrestling, to be exact. Promotor Justin Griffore joins The Basement Boys in studio at 6:05, and he's gonna shed some light on what indie wrestling is all about, why it's catching on throughout the Interior, and how it's great entertainment value for your buck. Interested? Of course you are, so stick with us! And stick around as Jason, Shawn and Justin r...

If ever a movie was made for me -- JUST for me -- it would be Netflix's new action pic 6 Underground. Yes, I use the term movie. Remember our conversation about films and movies . That definitely applies here. The Irishman is a brilliant film; probably the best I've seen in like 20 years. But God damn, 6 Underground is a fantastic MOVIE! It's everything I enjoy in escapist entertainment. It's big, loud, vulgar, juvenile, and explosive. It's loaded with T&A, gore, fast cars, inappropriate humour and gunplay. And it's funny as fuck, if you're as fucked in the head as I am at least. It helps Michael Bay is back in form after too many years playing with robots. This is the Michael Bay who made the first two Bad Boys movies and The Rock. Only Netflix did what it does best with original content -- they let Bay do whatever he wants, and Bay turned everything up to 11. The first 10 minutes are a blast... and the next 10 minutes are even better. I laugh...

God damn, I cannot wait for this movie! Michael Bay and Ryan Reynolds tearing it up in Italy? Hot women? Fast cars? 'Splosions? This one promises to have it all. 6 Underground is about a group of six people who fake their deaths in order to fight worldwide crime as vigilantes.  Cool-ass concept! And, judging from this clever -- and fun -- trailer, they end up in Italy at some point. I could say this looks like a perfect pairing of Bay and Reynolds' sensibilities, but y'all should watch it anyway... Now go: Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese wrote this one. And Reynolds is joined by Melanie Laurent, Payman Maadie, Corey Hawkins and Dave Franco. When do we get to see it? Dec. 13, bitches! Now who's in!?! Source: Netflix

The world of cinema is changing. Correction, it has changed. There was a time a big Michael Bay action movie featuring a superstar like Ryan Reynolds would've been a major tentpole film unleashed on 4,000 screens this December. Now, we're getting said film straight to Netflix this Christmas season, which means it's potentially hitting hundreds of millions of screens worldwide. And it looks good! Not like some TV movie. Nope. This IS a big Michael Bay action movie starring Ryan Reynolds, and it's got everything we'd want from such a film. Check it out: I predict the end of traditional cinema before the end of my lifetime. Why pay $27 (ticket and snacks), or $100 as a family, to go to the theatre and be crammed into a cinema surrounded by people who don't respect the experience when I can watch as much as I want at home for $14 a month? We'll leave you with that thought. 6 Underground hits Netflix Dec. 13. Source: Netflix
