The Rules of Attraction
September 27, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
The Rules of Attraction
We put together this show with Final Cut Pro so please excuse the buzzing sound which is louder than usual. Joined in the studio by Stephanie, CoJo, Jojo and Peter (Peter the Freshman), we discuss why exactly Roger Avary's The Rules of Attraction is such an unpleasant viewing experience, concluding our disaffected youth month with perhaps the most tasteless entry. You're welcome.


Gummo
September 20, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Gummo
The skateboarding, glue-huffing, tap-dancing, cat-poaching enigma that is Harmony Korine is not for everyone, but we think Gummo is worth talking about, or maybe around. Thanks to the chat for heckling us. You are the wing beneath our wings.

Nowhere
September 6, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Nowhere
The first installment in our disaffected youth series, Nowhere is a 1997 film by Gregg Araki. Joined by PissMa and Ross from the North Bay, we basically talk about how much we love this film and how Gregg Araki deserves all of the respect he gets, and even more, on the eve of his Criterion release and retrospective at BAM/PFA. Long live the Doomed Generation!

Child's Play
August 30, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Child's Play
Hiii!!!! My name's Koopa. Let's be friends til the end. Mitsu and I talk about dolls filled with blood, the cabbage patch riots, how children want to be treated like adults and what happens when there are too many cooks in the kitchen - magic!

Street Trash
August 23, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Street Trash
We talk briefly about Street Trash, but broadly about exploitation, melt-movies, what are bodies look like on the inside and the dissolution of social boundaries. Joined by PissMa and JoJo.

Body Melt
August 16, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Body Melt
Mitsu mostly goes on about fighting animals as we try to dissect the 1993 ozploitation film Body Melt, directed by Philip Brophy.

The Stuff
August 9, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
The Stuff
PissMa and MegaDave join us in the studio to gorge ourselves on Larry Cohen's The Stuff. Another 2 hours well spent discussing if Patrick O'Neal is Shaq's father, whether or not it is safe to drink expired soda, and trying to remember the last line Jason delivers in this movie. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.

Cyborg
July 26, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Cyborg
Step in to the light exposition, flashback ridden, science-less science fiction of Albert Pyun's Cyborg. Joined by Piss-Ma live in the studio, as well as JCVD's official rep in the chat box, Mitsu and Koopa discuss how it is possible to consume 10,000 worth of cocaine a week in the 1980s, as well as dive in to the rich tapestry that is christian grind-gore core.



Waterworld
July 5, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Waterworld
Your buoyant hosts are joined by JustSarah and PissMa to discuss the 1995 eco-apocalyptic amusement park ride Fish Dad, ah I mean, Gentleman Guppy, erm I mean, Waterworld. One word. Waterworld. Is this a good movie? Where is dry land? Should we get lower back tattoos? And perhaps the most important question of all, has Mitsu ever been inside the water?

1990: The Bronx Warriors (1990: I guerrieri del Bronx)
June 21, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
1990: The Bronx Warriors (1990: I guerrieri del Bronx)
Mitsu has the VID and I don't mean VIDEO, so PissMa and Sontag join me (Koopa) in the studio to discuss Enzo Castellari's antipasto-apocalypse genre film - 1990: The Bronx Warriors, released in 1982. This film has so much going on. From all the characters being named by your 5th grade mind - Trash, Ice, Golem, Ogre, Witch - to Fred Williamson and Vic Morrow delivering pretty great performances, even when surrounded by absurdity.

Turbo Kid
June 14, 2024 5:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Turbo Kid
We review the distressed t-shirt of post-apocalyptic movies to kick off our WASTELAND theme. Join your favorite voice jockeys as we discuss RKSS' Turbo Kid, released officially on VHS in 2015. Michael Ironside swallows his ego to star in this absolute piece of trash. It has some good gore though. Joined live in the studio by Piss-Ma, and with special call-in guests Shia LeBeouf and Drake.

The Deadly Spawn
June 7, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
The Deadly Spawn
Our first ever Basement movie night in a non-Basement space! Mitsu and I, or is it I and Mitsu, are still high from our screening of The Deadly Spawn at the 4star theater. But not as high as whatever these old ladies are smoking in this week's movie, making some of the most god-awful/god-fearing vegetarian food this veg has ever laid there eyes on. Honestly, it's more scary than the film. Joined briefly by Stella of Neon Shrines.

The Faculty
May 31, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
The Faculty
Come with us on a journey to 1998 as we indulge the KWill/RobRod 1998 joint - The Faculty. Why did they cut Kidada Jones out of this film? Is Stokely named after Stokely Carmichael who passed away the same year? Did the character of Zeke inspire Hartnett's next character Trip Fontaine in the Virgin Suicides. All questions we don't answer. Special guests Suzanne and Boney. Come to the 4star next week! Tuesday at 7pm! Tickets here: https://www.4-star-movies.com/calendar-of-events/secret-80s-horror-night-provided-by-the-basement-700-pm

Communion
April 19, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Communion
Our hosts discuss the wonder that is Walken, with plenty of impressions of the Astoria-born actor playing an even-more-NY-er NY-er from Austin. That's Whitley Streiber, a writer who turned his real-life abduction experience into this strange film.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
April 12, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Hey Santa Cruz! Quit being so boring. Embrace these other-wordly visitors and abandon your puritanical ways! On this episode, your debaucherous hosts are joined by Stella and JoJo of Neon Shrines to talk all things "Klown" and why we are so scared of them. Something we never got to the bottom of though : Klowns with a K?
Of course, we are talking about Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Hilarity ensues.

Funny Games
April 5, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Funny Games
Boney and PissMA join us to talk about Michael Haneke's Funny Games, the 1997 one not the remake, which he also made, which is exactly the same so I guess we could be talking about that one as well. Like what is reality even? If we talk about something on the radio doesn't that make it real? Oh god, I hope not. What ein alptraum. Anyways, Haneke delivers a heavy handed critique of the bourgeoisie, but there are things to be gleaned from it, like whats happening off screen and how filmmaking can sometimes be about getting out of the way.

Cemetery Man
March 22, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Cemetery Man
What an exciting episode about one of the most mundane things you could do with your life. Killing zombies! Join us to discuss the bureaucratic rebel yell that is Cemetery Man, or its more fitting title Dellamorte Dellamore. This is a movie that operates on so many levels and changes tone at least 4 times with more than a few döppelgangers and art references to throw you off. Ross from the North Bay joins our regular guest PissMa to try and figure out why this is the "last great Italian Horror Film" on our 50th episode.

Pieces
March 15, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Pieces
Join us as we dive in to the wild world of Juan Piquer Simón's mirror-shattering masterpiece Pieces. Our very first entry in a month-long series we are calling Euro-Trash, Pieces is the kind of movie that could only exist in "Boston". Joined by very special guest Ani and Just Sarah in the studio.

Boardinghouse
March 8, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
Boardinghouse
As our SOV month comes to a close, we celebrate the first horror film to be shot on video, John Wintergate's Boardinghouse. Joined in the studio by PissMa.

The Dope Game
February 23, 2024 6:00pm

 

Basement Radio
The Dope Game
Come on down to the basement. You can park your car right outside. We'll be cozying up next to the TV, double-fisting shrimp cocktails, having one sided-phone conversations, and who knows, we might even go down to the vending machine. The vending machine? Yeah, the vending machine. I'm gonna go down to the vending machine. Joined by PissMa, Jesus y Navajas.
