   Episode 83: The Joston Theney interview, Axeman Redux, and Mortal Kombat

   Waaaayyyyy the heck back in 2014, long before From The Basement took to the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops airwaves, Jason and Shawn reviewed a little slasher movie called Axeman, AKA Axeman at Cutter's Creek, and interviewed its writer, director and star, Joston Theney. Surprise, Axeman has become a cult classic, and spawned a sequel. However, Joston was never happy with the final cut of his film. Now it's 2021, and he's recut Axeman to the vision he always had in mind. Call it The Theney Cut, as The Dynamic Due put Axeman Redux on the chopping block for this week's podcast... From The Basement! The Basement Boys also interview Joston about the how and why of his new edit, and discuss the fact he's been able to retain ownership of his films, a rarity in Hollywood. How was he able to do that? What are his plans for the Axeman franchise? Stick with us! And stick around for Mortal Kombat! Or, more accurately, Jason and Shawn's review of the new video-game adaptation. Is it greater than, or less than, the 1995 version? You'll have to push play on the player below, and find out!
