We're living in interesting times, with fear of a global pandemic driving down stock prices, sending toilet paper and other products off the shelves, and forcing many people indoors for fear of catching, or spreading, COVID-19. Which means it's the perfect time to switch your brain off for 22 minutes, and enjoy the podcast of last night's broadcast From The Basement! Jason and Shawn review a timely one this week: the Irish import Sea Fever. It's a riff on Alien and The Thing, with the crew of a fishing trawler threatened by a water-borne parasite. Is Neasa Hardiman's horror tale a winner? Does the presence of acting veterans Connie Nielsen and Dougray Scott elevate the material? Stick with us! And stick around for even more reviews, as Shawn's taken in Birds of Prey with Margot Robbie, Jason endured Guns Akimbo with Daniel Radcliffe and Samara Weaving, and both Basement Dwellers viewed Spenser Confidential starring Mark Wahlberg. That's a lot of movies, and a lot of star power. But are any of them any good? There's also the weekend entertainment rundown, a taste of movie news, and The Basement Boys make fun of the Coronavirus. Too soon? No such thing. So push play on the handy player to your right, and forget your woes for a while. We're on vacation next week, but fear not: From The Basement returns March 27 with all new episodes, and only on Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops.
