It's a national holiday in The Truth North Strong and Free, but that doesn't mean Jason and Shawn take the time off. There's a show to present for your ear holes!! And yes, this is once again an extended edition of Friday's segment, where The Basement Boys joined Howie Reimer on the Radio NL 610AM Kamloops Morning Show to talk movies worth watching this weekend.

Unbreakable remains one of my Top 20 favourite flicks of all time, and came out when no one took the superhero genre seriously. A modest success, I believe it would have faired much better today, as audiences respect a more grounded and serious approach to a comic-book tale. Suffice to say I, along with most people, were pleasantly shocked when M. Night Shyamalan's Split turned out to be a closet sequel to Unbreakable, and a pretty damn good movie in its own right. Split made a bunch of money, and now Shyamalan has crafted a sequel to both it and Unbreakable.

Friday morning rolls around once again -- yes, already -- and that can only mean one thing: it's time for The Basement to take to the Radio NL 610 AM airways once more. What do Jason, Shawn and Howie have in store this week? Well, some random chatter about movies and entertainment of course!

The dead are once again ready to rise this July, as High Octane Pictures unleashes its latest horror entry with Ouija Seance: The Final Game. Yup, last night we pimped weepy dramas, tonight low-budget horror. Life is grand here in The Basement.

I know movies like Beautiful Boy aren't our usual pint of ale in The Basement, but a few episodes back Shawn suggested we un-pretentious pretentious movies, so here we go. Honestly, I don't know what prompted me to watch this trailer. I dig Steve Carell when he's being funny and serious, so there was probably that. And, being a dad, I'm all for anything that explores the father/son dynamic.

Back in the day, Shawn and I never strayed from reviewing a short film. When done right, they can tell a pitch-perfect story in pitch-perfect style, and pave the way for a beefed up feature film version down the road. When a short film comes from the keyboard of our man John Fallon, and promises a high-concept story with kick-ass fight scenes, we're definitely interested in taking it in.

The first Extended Cut episode is here! Featuring Jason and Shawn's NL Morning Show stint with Howie Reimer PLUS a whole lotta other movie talk, and even some movie news, for your ear holes! Jason and Shawn yap about Incredibles 2, and Shawn puts the recent VOD release Rampage -- starring The Rock and a giant monkey -- on the chopping block. Oh, and Jason brings a Retro Review in for examination.

It's Friday, which means it's time for The Basement Boys to jump on the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves and talk some movies! And Jason and Shawn will do just that at 8:40 a.m., as they join Howie Reimer on the NL Morning Show.

Any day when word hits that our long-time friend, collaborator and brother from another mother John Fallon has a new film in the works is a good day indeed. And today is just such a day! John announced earlier today that producer Asko Akopyan (above, with star Paul Sloan) has joined the project as lead producer, and that cameras are set to roll in Armenia in early 2019!

I'd honestly forgot a new Terminator movie was headed our way, let alone one that brings back Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, but Shawn sent me a pic of Hamilton on set and I was like "oh yeah, right." So why not post said pic of Hamilton as Sarah Connor in Terminator 6? Why not indeed!
