What would happen if iconic characters from the classic TV mysteries Columbo, Murder She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder tried to match wits with Sherlock Holmes on the mysterious death of author Agatha Christie? That's the premise behind The Curious Case of the Murder That Wasn't. It's a heck of an idea, and writers Jason D. Morris and Carly Street bring it to life in this clever short, one that relies heavily on your enjoyment of the characters at play here. If you are a fan of Columbo, Murder She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder -- and Holmes of course -- then you'll find lots of enjoy here. Sadly, I never watched a lot of this kind of programming growing up. I was more of a Hunter, Magnum P.I. and Simon & Simon guy myself. But I did appreciate what Morris and Street were aiming for, and I'd say they succeed. This film's success rests on the capable shoulders of Morris, who also directs, and the talented cast he and Street put together. Daniel Miller is the ...

It might be one of the worst kept secrets in Basement history, but Shawn and I have a new YouTube series coming your way called We Want to Believe. We'll tell you more on that later but, suffice to say, it's coming soon. Before you get to see it, we want to turn your attention to Resurrection Films LLC's upcoming short film The Curious Case of the Murder That Wasn't. Why? Because it's co-written and directed by Jason Morris, who made the brilliant documentary Millennium After the Millennium, which we reviewed here . Jason is also producer and editor of We Want to Believe. See the connection? Millennium After the Millennium executive producer Troy Foreman, the man behind Back to Frank Black, is also executive producer on The Curious Case of the Murder that Wasn't. This sounds like a lot of fun, as TV detectives Columbo, Jessica Fletcher and more match wits with none other than Sherlock Holmes. Check out the trailer: The Curious Case of the Murder ...

If listeners recall, during each of our sit downs with the fine folks behind the Back to Frank Blank campaign I have preached my love for the TV series Millennium. It is, in my biased opinion, the best TV show that ever was. Cancelled in its prime, the Lance Henriksen vehicle was never given a proper conclusion, which is where Back to Frank Black came into play. Troy Foreman, James McLean and company pushed for a grand finale that would give closure to the series, and lead character Frank Black's plight.

Aside from having the longest episode title in Basement history, the latest entry in our eight-year-long series also marks the first time Shawn has not appeared on the show! Yup, no Shawn for you! He's on vacation. But the Mad Twit Mike S sits down with Jason for this, the extended cut of Friday's segment on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops, featuring an interview with filmmakers Troy Foreman and Jason Morris about their documentary Millennium After the Millennium.

We Came from the Basement is scheduled to return to the Radio NL 610 AM Morning Show this upcoming Friday, and we're bringing our first interview in quite a while with us. Joining Jason and Shane Woodford at about 8:40 a.m. (Shawn is on vacation) are filmmakers Troy Foreman and Jason Morris, the driving forces behind the upcoming documentary Millennium After the Millennium .

As regular Basement readers/listeners know, Shawn and I interviewed Troy Foreman and James McLean of the Back to Frank Black campaign about a month ago. That effort is doing its damnedest to bring Lance Henriksen 's late 90s TV series Millennium back for a proper send off. A big part of Back to Frank Black is the Millennium Group Sessions podcast, which has featured Lance, series creator Chris Carter and most, if not all, of the cast and crew.
