From The Basement celebrates its first year at the mighty Radio NL... and Howie Reimer saw fit to take the week off. That's fine, Howie. You just go and do that! But the show must go on, so Jason and Shawn take over the Radio NL 610 AM Morning Show in his place!

Once in each lifetime, there comes along an adaptation of a Shakespeare play that makes the themes and story relevant again.  It makes the old fresh and new again- offering an unexpected way to look at the timeless nature of such plays, and the characters within them. And sometimes... it just provides a chance for a bad pun... Two households, both alike in dignity- in fair Verona where we lay our scene...

Where to begin with Glass. It seems to have divided movie-goers and critics alike, playing to, and against, expectations. I find this to be the sign of a good movie, one that will be talked about for a long time. The critics who hate it are those of the pretentious variety; the one's who wanted Glass to be something more than it is: an entertaining follow up to two of M. Night Shyamalan's more accomplished works: Unbreakable and Split.

There's only one major movie release this week, but still lots to talk about in the world of all things entertainment. Who yah gonna call? Jason and Shawn of course!

Only one major release this weekend, but it's a big one for movie fans as Universal unleashes it's much anticipated flick Glass. And Jason, Shawn and Howie are gonna let you know why it's such a big deal when the clock strikes 8:40 ish on this morning's Radio NL 610 AM Morning Show.

Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod! The first trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's Glass has arrived, and it is a thing of beauty! Fans have waited 17 years for a sequel to Unbreakable, not knowing Shyamalan snuck one in under the radar (kinda) with Split. Thankfully, that movie was a big hit, because the fine folks at Universal and Blumhouse put things in motion to bring the characters of The Beast, David Dunn and Mr. Glass together.

Unbreakable remains one of my Top 20 favourite flicks of all time, and came out when no one took the superhero genre seriously. A modest success, I believe it would have faired much better today, as audiences respect a more grounded and serious approach to a comic-book tale. Suffice to say I, along with most people, were pleasantly shocked when M. Night Shyamalan's Split turned out to be a closet sequel to Unbreakable, and a pretty damn good movie in its own right. Split made a bunch of money, and now Shyamalan has crafted a sequel to both it and Unbreakable.

Bryan Singer has saved the X-Men. OK, the Days of Future Past director wasn't alone. Its trio of screenwriters helped. So did the team of producers. John Ottman played a part, once again doing the music for the series. And I suppose the army of artists, sound people, effects wizards, camera people, casting department, etc.

Any time a comic book movie is released, you're going to be hit with a whole lot of hyperbole proclaiming it as "the best ever!" or "the most EPIC thing of all time!" because you're dealing with a fan-base that seems to only deal in extremes. We've already heard it once so far this year with the release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier , and although I did enjoy that flick, was it really the greatest thing I'd ever laid my geeky eyes on? Not quite! What about this latest X-Men instalment then? How does it stack up?
