That statement is correct in many ways, as Jason and Shawn have a boat load of reviews for your ear holes PLUS theatres are opening up, with several high-profile films on the silver screen. 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.

Waaaayyyyy the heck back in 2014, long before From The Basement took to the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops airwaves, Jason and Shawn reviewed a little slasher movie called Axeman, AKA Axeman at Cutter's Creek, and interviewed its writer, director and star, Joston Theney. Surprise, Axeman has become a cult classic, and spawned a sequel. However, Joston was never happy with the final cut of his film. Now it's 2021, and he's recut Axeman to the vision he always had in mind. Call it The Theney Cut, as The Dynamic Due put Axeman Redux on the chopping block for this week's podcast... From The Basement! The Basement Boys also interview Joston about the how and why of his new edit, and discuss the fact he's been able to retain ownership of his films, a rarity in Hollywood. How was he able to do that? What are his plans for the Axeman franchise? Stick with us! And stick around for Mortal Kombat!

Now I ain't got nobody... but I do have the latest podcast... From The Basement! And it's coming at yah right here, right now. Lyrics from another old song? Indeed. Because we are old. But the older the bull, the stiffer the horns. Which is dialogue from an old movie too. Do you see a theme here? You better believe that Dynamic Duo of film de cinema are talking Bob Odenkirk's first foray into action films. Yes, Better Call Saul himself stars in Nobody from John Wick scribe Derek Kolstad, with fight choreography by the 87Eleven Action Design team. Does it deliver the Dadspoiltation a couple of dads like Jason and Shawn want? Stick with us! Stick with us you shall, as The Basement Boys take aim at a plethora of movies new, and not so new. Jason has seen the British horror flick The Power starring Rose Williams, The Voices with Valerie Jane Parker, and the documentary Missing 411.

The global pandemic continues, and a third COVID wave currently sweeps our part of the world. But there's hope on the horizon. The vaccine rollout is accelerating, and a recent poll suggests more than 60 percent of people are willing to go to the movies again. What's all this got to do with the latest podcast... From The Basement? Well, this week we're talking the upcoming Kamloops Film Festival with society director Dusan Magdolen! The festival goes online when it kicks off this Wednesday, April 21, and heads to the drive in. Dusan reveals some of the festival highlights, how people can watch at home, and more. This might not mean much to our global listeners, but it's a big deal for local movie fans. And what Dusan and company are doing could change the face of film festivals post pandemic. But this isn't a talk show, so to speak. Jason and Shawn got movies to review... which I guess, given this is a podcast and all, means this really is a talk show... Anyway, the Dynamic Duo take on Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer in Netflix's Thunder Force, the latest season of Prank Encounters, and a Liam Neeson action movie. Yup, Liam Neeson is still making action movies. And you get to hear it all right here, right now, by pushing play. Stick with us!

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound, he pulls the spitting high tension wires down... just in time for the latest podcast... From The Basement! That's right, we enjoyed using those Blue Oyster Cult lyrics so much for the radio show, we decided to use them again for the podcast. Wanna fight about it? Didn't think so... But it is time, Constant Listener, for Jason and Shawn to do battle with the biggest movie of the pandemic so far: Godzilla vs. Kong! This film, from director Adam Wingard, is already chewing up and spitting out box-office dollars from around the globe, at home AND in theatres. Now Godzilla fan Jason, and Kong fan Shawn, weigh in. Do they deem the flick Good, Bad, or Ugly? Stick with us! And stay tuned, True Believer, as The Basement Boys put more than just one flick on the chopping block. Shawn caught up with the early Colin Farrell action movie S.W.A.T. plus Alita: Battle Angel. Meanwhile, Jason took on the thriller The Block Island Sound, the second season of Shudder's Creepshow revival, and the anthology series The Witching Hour. Add in the entertainment rundown, and a little bit of entertainment news -- more on that Joss Whedon controversy -- and you've got yourself a podcast! So push play on the player below, and enjoy.

The Easter Bunny has come and gone, Zombie Jesus Day is done for another year, and all that's left is the chocolate and liquor hangovers. And the latest podcast... From The Basement! Hot off the mighty Radio NL airwaves comes Jason and Shawn's latest foray into broadcast "journalism," and The Basement Boys review so many movies within the 22-minute run time, it's hard to know where to begin. Suffice to say, they discuss the new sci-fi sequel Skylines, the raunchy comedy Bad Trip, horror offerings The Toll and Let's Scare Julie, and the Sherlock Holmes-inspired Netflix series The Irregulars. AND they take on the new reality series Linnea Quigley's Paranormal Truth, featuring scream queen Linnea Quigley. That's a lot to digest. But that's not all, they also have time for the weekend entertainment rundown, and place their bets on the outcome of Godzilla vs. Kong. Pre-taping the show for the long weekend meant they didn't get to see the titanic team-up, but the Dynamic Duo still ponder the outcome. What are their thoughts on the matter? Push play on the player below, and enjoy!

In a world where opinions are facts, and friendships can be lost when differing points of view collide, what happens when two lifelong brothers disagree? Especially when it comes to one of the biggest debates of all time: what's better, DC Comics or Marvel? You'll find out on this, the latest podcast... From The Basement! This week, Jason and Shawn dissect Zack Snyder's Justice League, the much touted and talked about director's cut of Warner Bros. 2017 film. That version was completed by Joss Whedon after Snyder's daughter died, and the movie was skewered by critics and fans alike.

Stick with us you shall, as the Dynamic Duo also talk the latest Marvel Studios series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the Bigfoot flick Monstrous, and the horror/comedy Blood Fest.

And they have a range of offerings on the chopping block, from YouTube to streaming to feature films of every size, shape and colour.

What do a demonic-possession tale with a twist, a journey to a faraway land full of monsters, and an interview with a Broadway star have in common? They make up the latest podcast... From The Basement, that's what! Indeed, those who tuned in not once, not twice, but thrice to From The Basement on Radio NL this past weekend know the skinny on this episode. We reviewed Know Fear and Monster Hunter, plus interviewed Know Fear star Mallory Bechtel. But they didn't get the whole story. This podcast features an additional 10 minutes of our interview with Mallory, who was last seen on the big screen in the acclaimed Hereditary. She's back in horror mode with Know Fear, and explains her love of the genre, getting into a dark headspace for a tough role, and how one goes from Broadway to big scares. It's a great interview with a talented young lady, and one folks will enjoy. Jason and Shawn also put Know Fear on the chopping block before turning the Executioner's Axe on Monster Hunter, a big-budget adaptation of the popular video-game franchise. Director Paul W. S. Anderson doesn't have the best track record with this sort of thing, but star Milla Jovovich knows how to kick butt. And martial artist Tony Jaa co-stars. Could this one deliver the goods?

Ivan is a great filmmaker and fine person, and that comes through in this 17-minute interview. Jason and Shawn also review Son and, given the great-little-horror-ride comment, it should be no secret what they think about this one. They do have a lot to say about Son, so tune in anyway.
