Eric Roberts, All Cheerleaders Die, and Mr. Jones

Star 80, Runaway Train, The Dark Knight, The Expendables, Best of the Best, Sharktopus, Camp Dread. From heavy drama to spirited B-movie, Eric Roberts has done it all, and that's what makes him so awesome.

Suffice to say, the latest episode From The Basement is all the more awesome because Jason sat down with Eric for a 16-minute discussion about his films past, present and future -- touching on his latest, Camp Dread, and his villainous turn in the first Expendables movie.

Not only is Eric an acting legend, but he's a super nice guy who loves making movies. His enthusiasm shines through in this interview, and fans are really going to dig it.

There are also movies in need of watching this episode, and the first is one every male in the audience should see given the eye candy on display.

All Cheerleaders Die is the latest from May and The Woman director Lucky McKee who, along with Chris Siverston, crafts a quirky spin on the high-school revenge yarn. OK, there's witches involved. Happy? But there's also Caitlin Stasey, Brooke Butler and many other hot cheerleaders, who make the proceedings more appealing. Is the movie any good? Stick with us!

And you won't want to miss The Basement Boys' thoughts on Mr Jones, which has nothing to do with the Counting Crows song or that Richard Gere movie. Nope, this is about a young couple that moves into the woods and find their nightmares and realities colliding. I hate it when that happens.

Where can you hear all this cool? Tune into From Dusk Till Con Radio at 6 p.m. pacific, 9 p.m. eastern. If you can't, the podcast lands right here in The Basement soon after.

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ". I know I remember them. This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present. With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good. It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters. This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's. In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking. I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e...

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo...
