The Lost Footage of Leah Sullivan, The Witcher and The Mercenary

Ever wonder how found-footage horror movies are made? Are they scripted? How do you get actors to act so natural? How about setting up the scares? If these are questions you've asked yourself, then this latest episode of From The Basement is for you!

Last night, Jay interviewed Anna Stromberg and Burt Grinstead -- the stars and writers of the new found-footage flick The Lost Footage of Leah Sullivan -- during our broadcast on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops. And now you get to hear it on this, our latest podcast.

But there's an additional seven minutes of conversation included here that didn't make it on the air, making this episode a must listen for those who did -- and did not -- tune in last night! And it's all for the low cost for free. How about them apples?

Jason and Shawn also put The Lost Footage of Leah Sullivan on the chopping block. The Basement Boys have watched dozens of found-footage movies, and were facing found-footage burn out going in. Did this latest effort win them over? Stick with us!

And stick around as the Dynamic Duo weigh in on Netflix's The Witcher, and tackle the 80s-style action flick The Mercenary. Add the weekend rundown of all things entertainment and you've got yourself the latest podcast... From The Basement!

From The Basement returns Friday, Jan 3 at 6:05 P.M. Pacific on Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops!

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends. With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher. When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up. Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila! Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink. The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink. The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices. In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors. The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort. It was refreshing enou

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

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
