The Robin Pront interview, Cruel Peter, Snake Eyes, and Random Acts of Violence

It was a packed broadcast on From The Basement Saturday morning. That's right: Saturday morning! The show was preempted Friday night due to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but found a whole new audience with the switch up.

And you get to hear all of it, plus even more of our interview with The Silencing director Robin Pront, right here on our latest podcast.

But first, Jason and Shawn take on a G.I. Joe fan film from director -- and past Basement guest -- Rene Perez. The focus is on the classic character Snake Eyes, and Rene brings his gritty action sensibilities, and love of beautiful women, into play here. Does it work? Stick with us!

Wanna watch the film for yourself? You can do so right here for free!



As for that interview, we've got about five more minutes of our chat with Robin Pront. Robin talks all aspects of making the great thriller The Silencing, and working with stars Annabelle Wallis and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Haven't seen the movie yet? Get on it! It's one of the year's best.

But that's not all, as The Basement Boys discuss the new horror flicks Random Acts of Violence and Cruel Peter, catch up with The Last Man on Earth, and more. And you can hear it all by pushing play on the player below.

Enjoy!

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...
