Next on the chopping block: Restrepo and The Horde

It's our last episode before Christmas and the final broadcast of the year, so how do we intend to celebrate? By going to war . . . and then to France to fight zombies!

Shawn and I will be taking the next couple of weeks off. But we'll be back at 10 p.m. PST on Jan. 7, 2011. This means that, after we post the podcast and written reviews by Monday, activity on the blog will quiet down save for the occasional review or piece of news. Regular posts will resume on Jan. 3.

We here in The Basement want to take this opportunity to thank all of our readers and listeners and wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to entertaining you in 2011!

But first, we've got tonight's show on the chopping block, with reviews of the Afghanistan war documentary Restrepo and the French zombie splatterfest The Horde. We'll also present for your listening pleasure our thoughts on the best Christmas-themed movies, another Three Minutes With segment and some fine music for your ear hole.

Join us tonight at 10 p.m. as we celebrate the holidays The Basement way on 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops or head online at www.thex.ca at the same Bat Time. We promise it'll be better than getting coal in your Christmas sock.

And now for some previews:

Restrepo



The Horde

Justin Cider welcomes a Homewrecker to the Fanily

COVID-19 has impacted pretty much everything and, although some industries have slowly been able to get rolling again, sport is one that remains in limbo. This holds true for the world of Thrash Wrestling, which we in The Basement are a proud sponsor of. But the men and woman of Thrash Wrestling continue to challenge each other, and entertain fans, in a creative way. Which is why Jason and Shawn welcome Thrash Wrestler Justin Cider into the ring... err, Basement, when From The Basements takes over the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves at 6:05 tonight! Cider will update listeners on how Thrash Wrestling continues with social distancing in place. And he'll shed some light on the future of the sport, how people can support his Fanily, and more! And stick with us, as Justin joins The Basement Boys for a review of the new horror/comedy Homewrecker starring Alex Essoe and Precious Chong. Does this female-focused comedic thriller deliver the goods? Tune in after the 6 o'clock news ...

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
