The Robin Pront interview, Cruel Peter, Snake Eyes, and Random Acts of Violence

It was a packed broadcast on From The Basement Saturday morning. That's right: Saturday morning! The show was preempted Friday night due to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but found a whole new audience with the switch up. And you get to hear all of it, plus even more of our interview with The Silencing director Robin Pront, right here on our latest podcast. But first, Jason and Shawn take on a G.I. Joe fan film from director -- and past Basement guest -- Rene Perez. The focus is on the classic character Snake Eyes, and Rene brings his gritty action sensibilities, and love of beautiful women, into play here. Does it work? Stick with us! Wanna watch the film for yourself? You can do so right here for free! As for that interview, we've got about five more minutes of our chat with Robin Pront. Robin talks all aspects of making the great thriller The Silencing, and working with stars Annabelle Wallis and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Haven't seen the movie yet? Get on it! It...

Robin Pront and Cruel Peter roll Snake Eyes on Random Acts of Violence

What the?!? What are all y'all doing up so early, and why are we just getting ready for the latest broadcast From The Basement on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops? Oh, right... hockey. Hockey was on Friday night, which means this latest foray into entertaining talk radio doesn't kick off until 10:05 this morning. But that's OK, because we've got a kick butt show lined up for you; one that features a one-on-one interview between Jay and The Silencing director Robin Pront! And they discuss almost every aspect of making this acclaimed Canadian thriller, which hit theatres and Digital last night. Jason and Shawn also sit down to talk a slew of movies, including recent releases Random Acts of Violence from Jay Baruchel, the European horror flick Cruel Peter, and a G.I. Joe fan film from Rene Perez. There's more, but you'll have to tune in after the 10 A.M. news to hear all about it. Stick with us!

The Basement and the Stanley Cup Playoffs

It's the crazy world we live in, but hockey players are back on the ice battling it out for Lord Stanley's Cup instead of chilling on the golf course. That can only mean one thing for our show -- being preempted for hockey games! Usually, the playoffs are well and truly done by now, but given this is 2020, the first round isn't due to end until around Aug. 23. So far, most games have been 6:30 p.m. starts, which doesn't impact From The Basement on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops. But there will be some that start earlier, which means our broadcast time shifts. Which is the case this week. Our upcoming episode, which features an interview with The Silencing director Robin Pront, WILL NOT broadcast this Friday in its usual time slot. Instead, it will air Saturday, Aug. 15, at 10:05 A.M. So mark your calendar: From The Basement broadcasts this Saturday at 10:05 A.M. The podcast drops Monday morning as usual. Stick with us!

The Silencing, The Speed Cubers, and Hollows Grove

The best part of your Monday morning has arrived: the latest podcast of the last broadcast From The Basement! Jason and Shawn dig into the new Canadian serial-killer thriller The Silencing, which hits VOD and Digital this Friday. The film, from director Robin Pront, stars Annabelle Wallis as a small-town sheriff, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as a reformed hunter on the trail of a killer of women. It's dark and gritty stuff, but is it ideal viewing if you want a late-summer chill? Stick with us! And stick with us you shall, as The Basement boys take on a slew of movies old and new. They touch on such favourites as Gravity, Jaws 3 and Echoes of Fear, and take on newer -- or new to them -- releases like John Henry starring Terry Crews, Hollows Grove featuring the great Lance Herniksen, and Frankenfish... starring, well, Frankenfish! Oh, and they do battle with recent streaming series The Speed Cubers and Inside the World's Toughest Prisons. If this doesn't intrigue you ...
