The Greg Lamberson interview, Bill & Ted Face the Music, and Rogue (2020)

It's Monday morning, and nothing goes with your first cup of coffee like the latest podcast From The Basement. Sure, it used to be newspapers, but this is 2020. So if you're not listening, get with the times! And we've got a gooder (proper English) for you this week, with even more of our interview with Greg Lamberson, writer/director of the new horror flick Widow's Point starring Craig Sheffer. How much more? An easy five minutes, wherein Greg and Jason discuss the movie in greater detail, and reveal a connection between Greg and a Basement Favourite guest. Who is it? Stick with us! And stay tuned, as Jason and Shawn take on Bill & Ted Face the Music, a sequel 29 years in the making, and Rogue (2020), which pits hottie Megan Fox up against a man-eating lion. How do these diverse movies fare against the reviewing might of our Dynamic Duo? Push play on the player below to receive the answers to these, and many other, unimportant questions.

Bill & Ted go Rogue and Face the Music from The Devil and Father Amorth

The Basement Boys are back for another round of entertainment -- and entertaining -- radio to kick off your September. Just what have they got on deck this week, when they take to the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves at 10:05 this morning? Reviews of two big releases and an interview with a veteran genre director, that's what! Jason sat down with Greg Lamberson, writer/director of the new horror flick Widow's Point starring Craig Sheffer, which he reviewed on our last episode. He and Greg discuss Widow's Point and its literary origins, and how the film is a far cry from his past horror films. Then The Dynamic Duo put the first big release to come down the pike in a long time -- Bill & Ted Face the Music -- on the chopping block. Do they deem this sequel, which was a brewin' for some 29 years, worth the wait? They also tackle Megan Fox's killer lion movie Rogue, and a slew of other films too legion to count. But one of them is an exorcist documentary from Willi...

Review: Bill & Ted Face the Music

I'm not sure we really needed another Bill & Ted movie, given the last effort came out in 1991. I'm thinking the only reason we got one is because of the world's current love affair with Keanu Reeves. And hey, he seems like an awesome dude, so why not. It's funny how Reeves was so associated with Ted that it took a good, long time for moviegoers to embrace him in any other kind of role. Now that he's created another iconic character, John Wick, I found it hard to accept him as Ted... who is about the furthest thing from Wick as you can get. And it took a while for me to accept this new Bill & Ted movie too... like at least a half hour to 40 minutes. There are few laughs up until then, and the film's goofy charm had to work overtime to win me over. But once Bill & Ted start travelling into the future to find a song that will unite mankind and prevent the collapse of all time, and their daughters (well played by Samara Weaving and Brigette Lundy-...

Bill & Ted Face the Music in a most excellent trailer

Back in the early 90s, if you'd told me a movie called Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure would become a cult classic, I'd of said no way... dude! But here we are some 30 years later, and the latest instalment in the Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter franchise is ready to be unleashed upon the world. And, judging from this trailer, Reeves and Winter haven't missed a beat. Check it: Yup, the boys are once again travelling through time, partying with death, and playing some metal music. And we in The Basement believe this is most excellent. As of now, Bill & Ted Face the Music is scheduled for an August release. We hope this remains true. Source: Orion Pictures
