Jason and Shawn review the latest Small Town Monsters documentary: The Mothman Legacy. This is the production company's first true sequel, and explores in greater detail the story of the infamous Mothman. Is this doc perfect Spooky Season viewing? Stick with us! And stay tuned, as The Basement Boys throw down with the second volume of Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries, Adam Sandler's seasonal comedy Hubie Halloween, and Shudder's horror anthology The Mortuary Collection.  Plus Shawn took in the grisly Friday the 13th fan film, Vengeance, Mike S returns with another horror-themed review, and Jason provides the weekend entertainment rundown.

'Twas the weekend before Halloween, and all through Radio NL, not a creature was stirring... except for two aging movie geeks with a talent for sniffing out all things entertainment, especially during a global pandemic! That's right, Jason and Shawn are back once more, and they've got a long list of stuff that might strike your viewing fancy heading into the weekend. For one, they've checked out the latest Small Town Monsters documentary. This one is The Mothman Legacy, and it explores the lingering legend behind the mythical creature some believe is a harbinger of doom. Does this spooky doc make for perfect pre-Halloween viewing? Stick with us! And don't you dare touch that dial, as The Basement Boys chime in on volume two of Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries, Adam Sandler's seasonal offering Hubie Halloween, and the horror anthology The Mortuary Collection. Told yah this was the weekend before the spookiest night of the year... Oh, and there's a new Die Har...

I'm admittedly a little late to the party when it comes to chiming in on Adam Sandler's latest comedic vehicle, the Halloween-themed Hubie Halloween. That's primarily because I've never been a huge fan of Sandler's antics and this flick, which is very much a throwback to his earliest efforts, just felt out of place in today's times. But, after Shawn railed against Hubie Halloween on last week's From The Basement broadcast (he turned the film off after five minutes), I decided to check it out. I just had to see how bad the movie is. Hubie Halloween does get off to a shaky start, and I too wanted to turn it off after five to 10 minutes. All we get at the outset are people being mean to Sandler's simple minded Hubie Dubois, and that got old fast. But once things slip into gear, and Hubie sets out to save his town from not only a potential werewolf, but a Michael Myers-like serial killer, the film won me over. Hubie Halloween ended up being funny, and it had...

Never underestimate the effect a great director, or pair of directors, will have on an actor. Case in point: Uncut Gems. The Safdie Brothers and Adam Sandler came together to create such an amazing performance, that I might even be willing to say Sandler got Oscar snubbed. Maybe. Sandler embodies the character so fully that I could no longer tell I was looking at The Water Boy. Not only do the Safdies nail it in directing the acting, but the whole film is expertly done. They do an excellent job putting you into the anxious, fast-paced world of Howard Ratner. You spend all of the movie anxiously glued to the screen, waiting to see how the charismatic sleaze-ball stays alive. While not talked about as much, the Safdie Brothers also create an extremely grounded and believable New York. It feels so lived in and alive, much as it did in their previous film, Good Time. Part of this has to do with them hiring many non-actors from New York for fairly major roles. All in all, Uncut Ge...

Jason and Shawn return one more time before a two-week hiatus, with an all-new episode featuring their latest appearance on the Radio NL 610 AM Morning Show with Howie Reimer, plus a bunch of other cool shat. That's right, the Basement Boys talk Dwayne Johnson's latest effort, the Die Hard in a skyscraper action flick Skyscraper, plus the Adam Sandler animated Sequel Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation.

Another week has come and gone, and a few new movies are ready to land in cineplexes across North America. That must mean it's Friday, and Jason and Shawn are ready to join Howie Reimer on the Radio NL 610 AM Morning Show. This weekend there's a pair of new movies that will compete for your movie-going dollar: Skyscraper and Hotel Transylvania 3.
