Open 24 Hours, Project Power and Widow's Point

It was a lively show this past Saturday morning, and if you didn't get to hear it, now sweat (but you really could've tuned in). We proudly present to you this, the latest podcast From The Basement. Not only do Jason and Shawn review a bunch of new movies to make your viewing selection easier, they also welcome Dusan Magdolen of the Kamloops Film Society to discuss movie watching heading into the fall. What have The Basement Boys watched this week? They take on Open 24 Hours, the latest horror offering from writer/director Padraig Reynolds. Does this update on the slasher genre deliver the gory goods? Is Vanessa Grasse's character really crazy? Or is a mad killer actually on the loose? Stick with us! And stick around as Shawn checks out Netflix's Project Power starring Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Jason tackles Greg Lamberson's latest, Widow's Point with Craig Sheffer, the Shudder sensation Host, and the horror/Western The Pale Door. As for Dus...

Widow's Point is Open 24 Hours through The Pale Door

Hockey continues to dominate the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves, but there's still time for those fine purveyors of film de cinema to work their audio magic. From The Basement returns once again to pleasure your ear holes with a slew of new reviews, and an update on the local movie scene. First up: the movies! Jason and Shawn provide a feature review on Padraig Reynolds's latest effort, the slasher flick Open 24 Hours. This one stars Vanessa Grasse in a twisted tale at an all-night gas station. Does it deliver the spooky -- and let's face it, gruesome -- goods? Stick with us! And stick with us you shall, as The Basement Boys take on the latest Netflix original Project Power starring Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the ghost story Widow's Point from genre vet Greg Lamberson, and the horror/Western The Pale Door... all so you don't have to! But wait, local movie fans, Kamloops Film Society executive director Dusan Magdolen checks off a bucket-list item by comin...

UPDATED: Dusan Magdolen's Basement bucket list

Back in 2012, Jason and Shawn and From The Basement created the Dark Fest genre festival for The Kamloops Film Society, which continues to go strong today. Now, in 2020, the society's executive director Dusan Magdolen brings things full circle by joining The Basement Boys on this week's episode of From The Basement! Dusan has been a strong supporter of the show for years, but the opportunity to bring him on didn't present itself until this week. And Dusan is going to update listeners, and local cinephiles, on what the society has in store for the popular Twin Rivers Drive-In and Paramount Theatre heading into fall, and how they intend to make movie viewing safe during this pandemic. This will be a fun and informative chat for movie fans local and elsewhere. And you'll hear it Saturday morning at 10 A.M., and only on Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops! Stick with us!

Worst. Movie. Ever?

Jason and Shawn have a treat for listeners when they take to the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves at 6:05 tonight. Or should we say "treat?" That might be more accurate. The Basement Boys are reviewing what could possibly be the worst movie they've ever watched in From The Basement's 10 year history, a title previously held by Alien 3000, which is a pretty crappy movie to be sure. What is this bit of fromage? Well, we don't want to give too much away. Suffice to say the title rhymes with bent, and mostly takes place in a dwelling used for camping. And it's supposed to be about monsters and the end of the world. But that's not all! Jason and Shawn have a slew of other movie reviews to help you navigate this ongoing pandemic, plus provide a rundown on new TV and streaming options for your eye holes. And there's the latest on the Twin Rivers Drive-In. The fun begins right after the six o'clock news, so tune in... and stick with us!
