A couple of weeks back Shawn and I reviewed the new action/drama A Clear Shot. You can hear our thoughts here , and read them here . We'll pause while you do that. OK! A Clear Shot starred Mario Van Peebles and past Basement guest Marshal Hilton, who discussed his pivotal role in last fall's horror hit Echoes of Fear right here . It was a great conversation with a true professional, and proved popular with fans. Marshal is coming back to the show to discuss his role in A Clear Shot, working with the great Mario Van Peebles, and his character in another recent release, the Bigfoot flick Primal Rage. He and I also talk machismo and the current political climate when it comes to race and policing. This is a great conversation with a talented guy, and friend, who's not afraid to say what he thinks. And audiences will hear it NEXT FRIDAY, June 26, only on Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops! Stick with us!

Uncork'd Entertainment's latest action effort is based on a real-life incident, the largest hostage situation in American history, which occurred at a Sacramento electronics store in 1991. This makes it an ambitious project for a distributor best known for low-low-low budget genre releases, usually direct to the home market. You can't fault them for trying, and Uncork'd and writer/director Nick Leisure give the story their all, even if they don't always hit the mark. The film's strength lies in a trio of performances led by veterans Mario Van Peebles and Marshal Hilton, a not quite buddy-cop duo who attempt to negotiate with a group of Asian hostage takers. These two own the show, and act circles around pretty much everyone else, holding our attention with some serious gravitas. For the record, former Basement guest Hilton is the better of the two. Jessica Meza, a beat copt who aides Van Peebles and Hilton is also good. She has an unneeded, but neverth...

That's right; someone in The Basement watches The World's Most Extraordinary Homes. Wanna fight about it? Wanna know who? Do yah? Well, if you listened to last night's triumphant broadcast on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops, you'd know. But, if you didn't, you get the podcast version to enlighten you on these and other mysteries. For one, Jason and Shawn put the new action movie A Clear Shot on the chopping block. This one stars Mario Van Peebles and Marshal Hilton in a racially charged tale of cops and the biggest hostage incident in U.S. history. Sounds timely and intense. Is it? Stick with us! And stick with us you shall, as Jason chimes in on the Bigfoot flick Primal Rage, Shawn catches up with The Sons of Anarchy, and someone admits to watching The World's Most Extraordinary Homes. But who!?! There's also a rundown of streaming options for the week ahead, and a few other reviews for your ear holes. And you get to hear it all right now by pu...

Today is the day Hollywood is open for business... which means there's still not a lot to talk about in terms of movies, TV and streaming when Jason and Shawn take to the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves this evening. Which isn't to say The Basement Boys have nothing to say when the top-of-the-hour news is over. For one, they're reviewing the action/drama A Clear Shot starring Mario Van Peebles and Marshal Hilton. The film is based on the largest hostage incident in American history, and tackles issues of race and law enforcement, which are on the public's consciousness at the moment. Does A Clear Shot entertain as much as it addresses these important topics? Stick with us! And don't touch that dial, as Shawn chimes in on the new season of Netflix's The World's Most Extraordinary Homes (yup, you read that right), and Jason revisits 1983's The Entity and tackles the Bigfoot horror movie Primal Rage, which also stars Marshal Hilton. Toss in a rundown of ...

We interviewed legendary actor Marshal Hilton just last week , and he promised to share any news of his upcoming films as soon as he had some. Wouldn't you know it, he's already delivered! Marshal stars alongside industry veteran Mario Van Peebles in A Clear Shot, which is inspired by the 1991 Good Guys Electronics Store siege in Sacramento, California -- the largest hostage siege negotiations ever attempted in the United States. The film examines a bizarre turn of events as law enforcement attempts to save the hostages, as well as the emotional trials and social pressures of immigrant assimilation in American culture. Check out the trailer: A Clear Shot is written and directed by Nick Leisure, and hits DVD and Digital June 2 by way of Uncork'd Entertainment. Source: Uncork'd Entertainment

You might also remember Steven was a guest on our show last year. With his latest flick, Submerged , Steven looks like he's ready to tackle the action genre . Given the strength of the preview below, I think he's up for the challenge.
