All-star documentary #NoJoke tackles bullying

Bullying is something we've all faced at one time or another. Or we ourselves have been bullies. I know I've been on both sides of this issue, which is something I'm not always happy about, or proud of. With an almost eight year old, my wife and I can see the cycle repeating, as it does with each generation. Which is why I want to highlight the new documentary #NoJoke, which features musician Andrew Cole and his quest to create an anti-bullying song featuring some of his musical idols. Along the way he recruits the likes of Jeff Goldblum, Ozzie Osbourne, Lemmy, Slash, Steve Vai, Julian Lennon, Patrick Stewart and more, and records very personal interviews with them about the subject. It's powerful and inspiring stuff. Check out the trailer: This is definitely a documentary people need to see and talk about. I hope families watch it together, and get the conversation going about bullying and how wrong it is. #NoJoke hits On Demand today. Source: #NoJ...

Stung, dead musicians and 10 Cloverfield Lane

Jason, Shawn and Amy are back for their first podcast of 2016! And they have filled it to the brim with the great taste of . . . Wait, that's a coffee ad. But this podcast IS fully loaded with all things entertainment, including the first official review From The Basement since the Basement Dwellers returned.

Jason and Shawn review: Lemmy and Deaden

Lemmy Jason: It took me a while to get into this documentary, but once I did, I was hooked. Hearing all that metal music and listening to those fascinating interviews was a great way to spend a couple of hours with a beer or three. I loved the Metallica sequence and the stories from Lemmy's former band members, especially those from Hawkwind, were a blast. Lemmy himself is at once a sad but cool character. I want to watch it again and crank it during the music sequences. Lemmy is a Good for sure. Shawn: This kind of documentary is right up my alley. Here is a story about the pioneer of heavy metal, punk and all those spinoffs. Lermmy is the big dog, period! At times this feels more like a love fest than a documentary, with some crazed fan tasked with following Lemmy around. That said, I loved it! I will even watch it again. It's a good documentary and great entertainment for my metal soul. A Good from the Bad Man. Deaden Jason: Filmmakers who piss and moan about not bei...

The Season Finale: Lemmy and Deaden

Nothing goes together like heavy metal and action movies. Maybe heavy metal and horror, but the crunchy guitars and choppy bass suit shoot 'em ups best. So it's no accident Shawn and I have selected the documentary Lemmy and the action picture Deaden to close out our season on The X. Lemmy is about the life and times of Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. Anyone who loves metal will want to catch this film featuring appearances by Alice Cooper, Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield. Is the documentary about Lemmy as bad ass as his life? Stick with us! And you have to stick around for Deaden, written by and starring Basement fave John Fallon, The Arrow of Arrow in the Head . Fallon has been good to The Basement this season and was our first feature interview. His action flick, made on a low budget, is slowly making the rounds around the globe and Shawn and I are anxious to see it. Will it be Good, Bad or Ugly? Tune in tonight and find out. When we're not reviewing movies, we...
