The weekend is over, but there's still lots of great things to watch at home and in theatres. Which can only mean one thing; it's time for the latest podcast... From The Basement! That statement is correct in many ways, as Jason and Shawn have a boat load of reviews for your ear holes PLUS theatres are opening up, with several high-profile films on the silver screen. First up: what to watch at home! Ever the comic-book guy, Shawn takes on Jupiter's Legacy, the new Netflix series based on Mark Miller's not-so-funny-pages comic. Meanwhile, Jason invites himself to the new slasher romp Initiation. Then The Dynamic Duo join forces for the UFO-themed documentary Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. How do all these rate? Stick with us! And stay tuned, as the Basement Boys aren't done yet. There's still reviews of Amanda Seyfried in Things Heard and Seen, a spooky new Netflix original movie. While on the streaming platform, the boys also checked out the docu-serie...

Heading on in to the weekend, with lots of viewing options at your disposal, and that can only mean one thing; it's time for the latest broadcast... From The Basement! That statement is correct in many ways, as Jason and Shawn have a boat load of reviews for your ear holes PLUS theatres are opening up, at least in the U.S., with several high-profile films on the silver screen. First up: what to watch at home! Ever the comic-book guy, Shawn takes on Jupiter's Legacy, the new Netflix series based on Mark Miller's not-so-funny-pages comic. Meanwhile, Jason invites himself to the new slasher romp Initiation. Then The Dynamic Duo join forces for the UFO-themed documentary Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. How do all these rate?

A couple of months back we interviewed veteran genre actor Marshal Hilton about his work on the great indie horror flick Echoes of Fear. At the time, we invited Marshal to return any time he had a new project to promote. A week later, it was announced his latest film, A Clear Shot, would be released. So it only made sense to have him come back ASAP. Marshal will indeed be in The Basement when Jason and Shawn take over the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves tonight at 6:05. And he talks A Clear Shot, working with legendary actor/director Mario Van Peebles, and how historically accurate the film -- which is based on the largest hostage incident in U.S. history -- is. It's a great talk with a great man. But that's not all. With no summer movies to see in theatres, The Basement Boys riff on their Top 5 favourite summer movies of all time. What are they, and why do they make the list? Stick with us! And stick around for reviews of the just-released-on-VOD You Should Have Left starri...

Back in 1999, screenwriter David Koepp partnered with actor Kevin Bacon to make Koepp's directorial debut, Stir of Echoes. The film was lost amidst the horror crazes that were The Blair Witch Project and The Sixth Sense, and didn't receive the recognition many fans believe it deserves. Not so now. Stir of Echoes is regarded as a modern genre classic, and a damn fine adaptation of Richard Matheson's story. So there was, at least on my part, some serious expectations for the writer/director and star's latest team up, You Should Have Left. Sadly, what we end up with is a film that's fine while you watch it, but easily forgotten once the credits roll. You Should Have Left is efficiently made and full of atmosphere, but light on scares. In fact, it's not scary at all. And once you figure out what's going on, you're left underwhelmed. Bacon plays a wealthy banker who is married to a successful, and much younger, actress. The couple, along with their da...

Scooby-Doo is a cartoon franchise that just won't die, and I'm thankful for that. It's a childhood favourite of mine, and never gets old, although I do. The latest reboot comes by way of Warner Bros. and was intended to be in theatres right now. COVID-19 changed all that, so the WB saw fit to release it straight to Digital, continuing a trend I hope all the big studios embrace because my family and I are 100 percent on board with watching new movies at home. But what about the movie, you say? Scoob! is one part origin story, one part reinvention of the Hannah Barbara characters for a new generation of kids. It's beautifully animated, and pays tribute to everything we love about Scooby and the gang, while bringing them into the modern world at the same time. The jokes come fast and furious -- and are mostly kid appropriate -- while the plot moves equally so.  It turns out Scooby-Doo is part of an epic legacy that could unlock a door to the underworld. And the evi...

Why? Because it's fucking funny, that's why. That's right, I swore in the first line of this post. Wanna fight about it? Pussy.
