Mike S's Top Five Canadian Shows That Deserve a Reboot or Movie

I am a Canadian.  As a Canadian, I am well aware of the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC).  As a Canadian, I am also aware of the many great Television shows produced for the CBC over the years. Which brings me to this list.  These are the top five Canadian Television shows I think deserve a reboot or a movie!

Our CBC Kamloops/Star Wars: The Force Awakens interview

Just a quick update today, Basementites. Shawn and I wanted to share with you our 15 minutes of fame that occurred earlier today on Daybreak Kamloops. For the uninitiated, we sat down with host Shelley Joyce to rap -- not in song -- about a little movie called Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which of course opens everywhere this weekend. We could go into details about the conversation, but figured it was easiest to share it with you.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the CBC

Readers will have noticed we stepped up activity here on The Basement site, and that's because it truly feels like Shawn, Amy and I have hit our groove when it comes to what we want the latest incarnation of We Came from the Basement to be -- a fun hangout where we talk all things entertainment. And it's super awesome that our renewed energy has coincided with an exciting opportunity for Shawn and I to talk the year's most anticipated movie on our nation's national broadcaster.

Tag-team review: John Wick

When we first heard about John Wick it sounded like some direct-to-video cheapie starring the once great Keanu Reeves. Then the first trailer showed up and HOLY FUCK! Gotta see! So that's what Basement contributor Matt Bellamy and I did tonight (along with some guy who works with the CBC). Does John Wick live up to the great trailer? Stick with us!

The Basement on the CBC

On Friday, March 21, The Basement ventured off the Internet and campus radio and was featured on Daybreak Kamloops , the morning program for our local CBC affiliate. For those who aren't in the know, the CBC is Canada 's national broadcaster . Think the BBC for Canada. Kind of a big deal.
