The Tracey Birdsall interview

Model, actress and all-around class act, Jason, Shawn and Amy are excited to welcome the beautiful and talented Tracey Birdsall to The Basement tonight. Tracey got her start in commercials, most specifically a series of Sunkist soda ads. And she's gone on to a lucrative modelling career that's had her appear on Macy's billboard ads in New York City and countless magazine covers.

This summer has a case of Consumption

Ghosts, demons and cultists might not be everyone's idea of good 'ole summertime fun, but the fine folks at Wild Eye Releasing are banking that horror fans like their grue no matter the season. That's right, first-time director Brandon Scullion's Consumption is scheduled for a DVD and Digital release this July.

Jason versus The Hallow

After weeks of checking out the latest in mainstream, comic-book entertainment, it was refreshing to go back to what The Basement was built on -- the little-seen, B-grade horror movie. And what better flick to dip the wick into than The Hallow. Not a question, a statement. The Hallow is a 2015 Irish horror movie about a family that is forced to fight demonic creatures after moving into a remote mill house. It puts a modern spin on old Irish myths, while planting an infant child smack dab in the middle of the mayhem.

Shawn Takes On Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice

Shame on you.   You know who you are.   You’re the ones that apply your opinion, in some pretentious manner, as though what you think is going to change the world. Structure this, story that, too much this, not enough that. Did you forget that this was a superhero movie? Yes, you did.   It was so epic, that you forgot. I’m not going to fan boy, on and on.

The Conjuring 2 trailer reveals "England's Amityville"

Easter and horror movies don't seem to go together, but that didn't stop Warner Bros. from unveiling the latest trailer for The Conjuring 2 at WonderCon this weekend. Not one who likes to be left behind, I figured it wise to post the trailer for Basement Dwellers to enjoy, especially after so many new fans showed their love on our Facebook fan page these past 24 hours. Thank you!

Jason AND Shawn versus Daredevil Season Two, the last seven episodes

I don't binge TV. It's not that I don't find shows I enjoy, but I just don't have the time. However, in the case of Daredevil Season Two, I couldn't help myself. The end of each episode compelled me to continue to the next, moving from one to the other like one of The Punisher's bullets hitting its target. There's not much I can add to my thoughts on this season that I didn't write about in my review of the first six episodes , but that doesn't reflect the quality of the season's second half. Not by a long shot.

Jason versus Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is supposed to launch an entire DC movie universe. Given the divisiveness of how this would-be blockbuster is being received, there's a chance Warner Bros.'s plan could be jeopardy. Probably not, but a chance. Opinions are subjective though, and one person's hatred is another fan's gem. I wasn't pumped heading into Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, but I wanted to like it. I'm a Batman fan, enjoyed Man of Steel, and am all about seeing classic characters brought to life on the big screen.

New Star Trek TV series gets a teaser

As in a teaser poster. Sorry Trekkies, the series doesn't debut until 2017. So all CBS has unleashed is a very simple teaser poster, but one that certainly says this will be a Star Trek TV series, and the first on network television since the original series back in . . . well, before I even came along. But enough about me, here's the teaser poster:

Hobbit star joins sci-fi flick Rogue Warrior

It's Tracey Birdsall news week here in The Basement, and strictly by coincide I assure you! But her next sci-fi movie, Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter, has just wrapped cinematography and the Neil Johnson directed flick gained a pretty big star for its final days of filming -- William Kircher.

Trailer lands for Tracey Birdsall rom-com Who's Jenna...?

Ever date anyone who looks suspiciously like a famous porn star? Me neither, but that's the premise of the upcoming romantic comedy Who's Jenna...? And who is Jenna? She's played by actress Tracey Birdsall, who just happens to be our next guest on the radio show/podcast.
