The Joston Theney interview, Axeman Redux, and Mortal Kombat

Waaaayyyyy the heck back in 2014, long before From The Basement took to the mighty  Radio NL  610 AM Kamloops airwaves, Jason and Shawn reviewed a little slasher movie called Axeman, AKA Axeman at Cutter's Creek, and interviewed its writer, director and star, Joston Theney. Surprise, Axeman has become a cult classic, and spawned a sequel. However, Joston was never happy with the final cut of his film. Now it's 2021, and he's recut Axeman to the vision he always had in mind. Call it The Theney Cut, as The Dynamic Due put Axeman Redux on the chopping block for this week's podcast... From The Basement! The Basement Boys also interview Joston about the how and why of his new edit, and discuss the fact he's been able to retain ownership of his films, a rarity in Hollywood. How was he able to do that? What are his plans for the Axeman franchise? Stick with us! And stick around for Mortal Kombat!

Mortal Kombat Reborn

Here is a super-slick short film for all you Mortal Kombat fans and non-fans out there! It's a test video, produced by Warner Bros and directed by Kevin Tancharoen (the Fame remake), designed to prove the potential for an R-rated reboot of the videogame franchise, originally brought to us in PG-13 form in the mid-90s by Paul WS Anderson. The best part: it stars Black Dynamite himself Michael Jai-White and Jeri Ryan of Star Trek Voyager fame and is cool as hell! Here's hoping they can make a feature film out of this! Watch it now and enjoy the coolness!!
