Billy Trigger set report part two, Rites of Spring and Grabbers

All good things must come to an end. In this case, it's our set reports from John Fallon's Montreal-based action movie Billy Trigger. This week we have a pair of one-on-one interviews with a couple of cast members.

First up is the beautiful and talented Meghan Gabruch, who plays Jinny, the daughter of main bad dude Fred "The Hammer" Williamson. Then we throwdown with Anderson Bradshaw, who stars as the lethal Ewan and provides the movie's fight and stunt choreography. These are a couple of lively and entertaining interviews for your ear holes. Promise!

And take note fans of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren -- Bradshaw has fought them both!

As for the movies on the chopping block tonight, we've got a diverse double bill ready for the executioner's axe, starting with Rites of Spring.

The Basement's already paid its respects to writer/director Padraig Reynold's acclaimed horror movie. Given that we're interviewing the talented filmmaker next week, and his flick has just hit DVD/VOD/Blu-Ray, the Basement Boys figured it was time to give Rites of Spring some official love on the show. How does the movie hold up? Stick with us.

Then grab a pint of whiskey and a shot of your favourite ale for the next flick. No, wait. That should be the other way around. Ah, feck! Jason and Shawn head to Ireland for the horror/comedy Grabbers, which features blood-sucking aliens who are allergic to alcohol. Oh yeah, and there's humans who have to get drunk in order to avoid being killed. One of them's a hot Irish lass.  She's in the pic above :)

So tune in at 10 p.m. PST at 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops and online at www.thex.ca. You can also follow along to the mad tweets of Mike S of The Corner of Terror on Twitter! It's radio that's too good to be radio.

To revisit Jason's written reports on Billy Trigger, check out part one, two, three and four.

Now for a look at tonight's fine entertainment

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
