First up: what to watch at home! Ever the comic-book guy, Shawn takes on Jupiter's Legacy, the new Netflix series based on Mark Miller's not-so-funny-pages comic. Meanwhile, Jason invites himself to the new slasher romp Initiation. Then The Dynamic Duo join forces for the UFO-themed documentary Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. How do all these rate? Stick with us!

And stay tuned, as the Basement Boys aren't done yet. There's still reviews of Amanda Seyfried in Things Heard and Seen, a spooky new Netflix original movie. While on the streaming platform, the boys also checked out the docu-series Sons of Sam. And there's the latest Bruce Willis VOD offering Breach.

But wait, there's more! Like what, you ask? Like the weekend entertainment rundown, including big-screen releases Spiral: From the Book of Saw with Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson, Those Who Wish Me Dead starring Angelina Jolie, and Clayne Crawford's relationship thriller The Killing of Two Lovers.

How do you catch all this awesomeness? By tuning in to the mighty Radio NL tonight at 6:05, that's how.

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...
