Battle of the Damned, Bad Milo and The Newton Brothers interview

Talk to any self-respecting filmmaker and they'll tell you a movie's score is everything. The music sets the mood and heightens the story. Take it away, and a film doesn't work. Just ask John Carpenter, who's classic Halloween was rejected by studios until he added his landmark soundtrack.

On April 11, moviegoers will hear The Newton Brothers' latest score when they take in director Mike Flanagan's horror film, Oculus. Andy and Taylor have worked on a variety of projects, including film, TV and opera, and have a varied musical background.

Being a budding composer himself, Shawn sat down with Taylor to talk Oculus, their upcoming work on the film Somnia, and working with the legendary Danny Elfman. Whether you love movies or music, or movie music, this is an interview you don't want to miss.

But the Basement Boys aren't just about movie talk, they're reviewers first and foremost. And Jason and Shawn have a couple of movies on the chopping block that begin with the letter B. First there's Dolph Lundgren's latest action flick Battle of the Damned, which sees the big guy lead an army of killer robots against a horde of zombies. How does it play out? Stick with us!

Then ready to ass jokes as the boys take on Bad Milo, a horror/comedy about a demon living in a guy's intestines. Guess how it enters our world? You've been respectfully warned.

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.
