The Basement Boys are back for another round of entertainment -- and entertaining -- radio to kick off your September. Just what have they got on deck this week, when they take to the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves at 10:05 this morning? Reviews of two big releases and an interview with a veteran genre director, that's what! Jason sat down with Greg Lamberson, writer/director of the new horror flick Widow's Point starring Craig Sheffer, which he reviewed on our last episode. He and Greg discuss Widow's Point and its literary origins, and how the film is a far cry from his past horror films. Then The Dynamic Duo put the first big release to come down the pike in a long time -- Bill & Ted Face the Music -- on the chopping block. Do they deem this sequel, which was a brewin' for some 29 years, worth the wait? They also tackle Megan Fox's killer lion movie Rogue, and a slew of other films too legion to count. But one of them is an exorcist documentary from Willi...

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. Best know for his Slime City films, and novels like Johnny Gruesome, Lamberson has a new flick headed our way called Widow's Point, and it stars Nightbreed's Craig Sheffer. He and Jason will talk all about the film, it's literary roots, and how Lamberson went for something a little more classy this time around. 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!

OK, let's face it; we all like a good haunted house flick. There's something comforting in watching a genre where you know what you're getting going in and, as long as the movie delivers, you're happy. Widow's Point, the latest from writer/director Greg Lamberson, is very much a classic haunted house movie. You've got a great setting -- in this case a lighthouse -- with a grisly past, and more spirits than you can shake a stick at. And it's all handled in a fairly restrained and respectable manner, with an emphasis placed on genuine chills over jump scares and gore. And the film is headlined by Craig Sheffer, who I haven't seen in a movie for a long, long time. And he owns this one with a great performance, slowly descending into insanity as the film carries on. 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...

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...
