Ex Machina was one of the best sci-fi films in recent memory. Director Alex Garland's follow-up, ANNIHILATION is now out and stars Natalie Portman in the center of another heady dive into the realm of fiction and science. We begin the show by reviewing the film in broad terms as to not spoil anything for those who have not yet seen the film. Follow…

Two films separated by nearly 60 years find a lot in common in terms of forbidden live in one aspect or another. This week we are reviewing Guillermo del Toro's THE SHAPE OF WATER which combines an old school Universal monster subject and injects it with love and fairytales. In addition we look at David Lean's BRIEF ENCOUNTER in where we find two m…

Robert Mitchum's portrayal of Harry Powell is one of the best villains ever put to film. In 1955's NIGHT OF THE HUNTER we meet the dark preacher that is in desperate search of ten thousand dollars hidden by two children. When first released it was met with a poor critical response and a low take at the box office. Over the years the film has earned…

Carol Reeds' THE THIRD MAN holds stature as one of the greatest films ever made. Pete agrees. Adam and Ashley have never seen it though. Without having prior knowledge of the film, does it still hold up and grab an audience in the modern era? We will discuss that and Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS on this weeks FILM BA…

It's been a long road but we are back and The Film Basement is open for business. We start anew with a film that exists on sheer will alone it seems. No one ever though that BLADE RUNNER would ever get a follow up but here we are and we are here to discuss that film NOW! Let's go! It's showtime! Join our Facebook group HERE…

Schwarzenegger battle bracket versus himself! Predator? T2? Running Man? Commando? Which Arnold reigns supreme? The simpliest of premises, the hardest decisions to make on the spot. The quality of films can vary but Arnold is always up for a great run and gun. From classics like Cameron's T2 to more of the cult classic like Commando, there are so m…

M Night Shyamalan can be hit or miss but when he hits, he hits big. The Visit may not be perfect but it marked an upward slope for the director and we had a blast discussing the film as a whole. To do so though required spoilers so keep that in mind. Join our Facebook page HERE Visit out website HERE…

From Nightmare on Elm Street to Beverly Hills Cop, 1984 is stacked with memorable films. Only thing to do is match them up against one another in a tournament to the death. Right? Well, that is how this all goes down. Who shall survive? Prince? Morris Day and the Time? Let's find out! Join our Facebook page HERE Visit out website HERE…

The soundtrack of LastGen has always been the music of Pogo and we have been lucky to have the man behind the sound on the show a few times. One of the best visits was when we listed our Top 5 Film Soundtracks. Pogo's real mane is Nick and he is just awesome. Nick tells us about when he was first contacted by Disney and even meeting John Lasseter. …

Melyssa joins us for her first ever visit to the podcast world and a path is set for The Disney Magic Hour.

Two of our (and everyones) favorite actors are Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. How do the legends measure up against one another though? We go decade by decade and must make a choice as to which actor we would keep if we had to eliminate one from the history books utterly. Join our Facebook page HERE Visit out website HERE…

The show that started a movement that included 5 Star Reviews and slapping Bryan across the face as a thank you. Kevin suggested that we watch FIREPROOF and we foolishly went along with his proposal. What follows is our stream of consciousness that we can muster. There is a lot of ground to cover including how Kirk Cameron could not kiss a woman ot…

To move forward you must look back! This is the first time me, Bryan and Kevin ever recorded a podcast. The show is quite shapeless towards introductions and normal podcast form which makes it fun. This was way before we even considered thinkng that we knew what we were doing (we still do not) but it was the start of the path. Enjoy! Join our Faceb…
