We take the show on the road to sunny Los Angeles and Mitsu tries to concentrate while doing a live episode in a glass booth surrounded by dozens of people. It's painful to listen to but at least we had the privilege of talking about Andrea Bianchi's Burial Ground, released in 1981. This was the first movie in our Sometimes They Run Fast series. Special thanks to Dale Zine Radio for hosting us!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know, but there's a VHS tape in it! And it's a pretty important plot device? Mitsu and I watched the new Phillipou brothers movie and we invited dark web meme expert Boney Maronie and Hausu film historian PissMa to the show to talk about these backyard wrestlers turned filmmakers and their new Sally Hawkins saturn award vehicle. No, but seriously, we really liked it. We just wish somehow the swimming pool scene connected back to Shape of Water.

The final 2 entries in our "Sometimes They Run Fast" mini-series, 28 Days Later and The Return of the Living Dead are more than just titles that sound like updates on your UPS package. Joined by Stephie and hosted, as always by Koopa and Mitsu, we venture in to the English countryside before getting acid rained on and washed back to California (Kentucky).

The first two entries in our stoner horror month (puff, puff, kill? blunt force drama?) definitely did not disappoint. If it wasn't for the short term memory loss of all those hits from the bong and well, 9/11, we would have put together a great show for our loyal fans. But alas the weed smoke soaked in to the board and killed the chat bot, leaving us high in our room alone talking about watching movies high in our room alone.

Joined by special guest and social media theorist Suzanne Sontag, we tackle the found-footage minimalism of the Blair Witch Project and talk briefly about Man Bites Dog. There is a payoff if you can make it to the end of the feckin' episode.

Another special two-fer, where Mitsu and Koopa are joined by Piss-Ma and the spirit of David Lynch, to discuss Wild at Heart and The Shape of Things. Wrapping up our 'Lover's Quarrel' month with Americana and gusto, the boys discuss Hollywood nepotism, the spiritual pain of Neil LaBute movies, working within the boundaries of a format, and everyone's favorite subject: the many phases of Nicolas Cage.

We kick off our "lover's quarrel" month with the one, the only, the king of erotic dramas, Zalman King. Special guest Nicolá joins us in the studio to discuss his guest pick as we go over King's ouevre, why exactly drinking pint glasses of cold milk could be seen as sexy and the boys make a good case for why Koopa is the most sexually repressed person in the studio.

Love to all the people in LA who lost their homes or are displaced by these fires.

Here are some light musings on Elvis, mummies, werewolf teens, and Canadians, to take your mind off all this shit.

Dear Basement listeners - boy are we happy to be back for 1 final holiday episode. We missed you and are grateful for you but sometimes life hits you with a snow shovel and you gotta take a little break.

Not only do we discuss Santa's Slay, the 2006 chistma-tastrophe, but we bust out the wrapping paper and tie up 2024 in a neat little bow, and by that I mean a top 5, followed by a take down of the worst movies of the year. Joined by PissMa live in the studio, as well as Canadaman, Suzanne Sontag, Cheeto and very special guest Billy Bob Thornton in the chat.

Our very first Basement Radio x Neon Shrine crossover holiday special and what a drunken night of debauchery it was. We mainly discuss how hallmark movies and pornography are basically the same thing. Special guests Jojo, JB, Jon, Cojo and Mac join Koopa and Mitsu.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
