We have good news, and bad news. And custom dictates we render the bad news first, as Robert G. Durant once said. The bad news is there's no episode of From The Basement this week. Sad face is sad. The good news is we're back Friday, Sept. 4 with an all-new episode, and an all-new interview! With whom, you ask? Veteran genre director Greg Lamberson, that's who.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs will dictate when From The Basement will broadcast, but the plan is for our usual Friday night time of 6:05, and you'll hear our conversation with Greg Lamberson, only on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops. Stick with us!

Jack Nicholson could've learned a thing or two from Sheffer's work here had this film come out before The Shining. Yup, went there. Sheffer plays a down-on-his-luck writer who d...
