Eric Roberts, All Cheerleaders Die, and Mr. Jones

Star 80, Runaway Train , The Dark Knight , The Expendables , Best of the Best , Sharktopus , Camp Dread. From heavy drama to spirited B-movie, Eric Roberts has done it all, and that's what makes him so awesome. Suffice to say, the latest episode From The Basement is all the more awesome because Jason sat down with Eric for a 16-minute discussion about his films past, present and future -- touching on his latest, Camp Dread, and his villainous turn in the first Expendables movie.

Afflicted, Camp Dread, Time to Kill and an Enormous interview

Get ready for a triple threat of genre entertainment as Jason and Shawn put three, count 'em three, movies on the chopping block for the first time since Season One way back in . . . a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Sorry, Star Wars flashback.

Jason and Shawn review: Sharktopus and Burning Bright

Sharktopus Jason: This movie isn't as fun as the title suggests. It gives us what we want, which is lots of boobs, blood and a cool beast. There are a lot of kills here, but they do get redundant. The effects are better than both Mega Shark movies put together and, although the acting is pretty bad, everything works on the level of a late night horror movie. If I had a better time with it, Sharktopus would rate a Good. Instead, I have to give it a Bad. Shawn: A low-budget movie featuring the great Eric Roberts, who was introduced to me in 1989's martial art movie The Best of the Best, which was awesome. He's not really a B-movie actor anymore, but it's good to see him stepping into these roles. Sharktopus is a good B-movie; fun and entertaining but predictable. Not the kind you watch more than once, which means it's a Bad in my books. Burning Bright Shawn: A people-eating tiger movie where no people get eaten. An under-clothed hottie and her autistic brother...

A Night of Beasts, Boobs and Blood 2: Sharktopus and Burning Bright

A couple of months back Shawn and I treated listeners to a night of beasts, boobs and blood with our creature-double feature Piranha 3D and Abominable. The response proved so successful that we've decided to do it again! Tonight, Anthony Michael Bosa joins us in The Basement Studios for a pair of reviews that will leave you godsmacked! First up: Sharktopus! That's right: SHARKTOPUS!! From the mind of legendary B-movie producer Roger Corman comes this monster hybrid that has to be seen to be believed. All three of us have seen it, and we share our thoughts with you near the top of the hour. What's it about? Who cares!?! It's a movie about a shark that's on octopus. What more do you need to know? Then we feast our eyes on the lovely Briana Evigan (see pic) as she protects her autistic brother from a man eating tiger in Burning Bright. The life-or-death struggle takes place in a house during a hurricane. Sucks to be them. Does the movie offer thrills and chills o...
