In The Name Of The King (Welcome To The Basement)

We need your input for our upcoming Halloween episode, so pay special attention to the end of the video. Thanks.
Journey with us to a land of sword, sorcery, crappy CGI and rubber-suited bad guys, as we hack into Uwe Boll's clumsily-named "In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale". (Note: There are no dungeons or sieges in the movie).
In 'Seen It' we discuss Kevin Smith, A Clockwork Orange and another movie on Matt's "hated movies" list.
All film footage is used in accordance with fair use and US copyright law. All music in the show is used with full permission of the composer.
Thanks for all the great comments. Keep em coming! If you watch one of the movies we discuss, let us know what you thought of it.
Welcome To The Basement" is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. Matt choses the movie and Craig doesn't know what it is until the cameras start rolling, so none of the discussion or riffing is planned ahead of time.
Movie announced on facebook before every new episode. Get the movie and follow along.

    While Fireball is a third-level spell, Wizards acquire third-level spells at... fifth level.

    The funny thing about Uwe Boll is that he fought his opponents in Vancouver, BC. My hometown. And he still lives here. So it's possible for me to go egg his house if you guys want.

    That was probably the last time a movie was able to create genuine fear in me. The "Latin Speaking Man" proved to be extremely disturbing to me, coupled with Sam Neill translation of the words was nearly too much! It still provokes a feeling of unease after all these years. *shiver* As I am not readily scared, and my seeking out such thrills being a continuing habit; I think back upon my viewing of Event Horizon with great fondness. Also, Lawrence Fishbourne being a complete "baddass"!

    Love the show guys, Top Gun viewing was absolutely brilliant. One of my favorite films of the last few years is the foreign masterpiece Red Cliff. I would suggest watching the uncut two-part version rather than the version on netflix. It is a four-hour sitting between the two parts. More a film for a history buff, but it's still a beautiful movie.

    SLC Punk is a great movie and after seeing the boys review Saturday Night Fever, I can see some similarities between the two. Both feature a protagonistic with abstract moral views and beliefs on life. Ultimately both are led to the conclusion that what they value most in life, dancing and punk rock respectively, has little to no actual value in the grand scheme of things and both need a huge event in thier lives to propel them back onto the right track and give thier lives purpose.

    Actually, Sloan, Uwe didn't beat all of his challengers. There was a person he couldn't fight, critic Seanbaby. "Seanbaby says that he trains in Muay Thai and jujutsu, stating that, "boxing is to fighting what Hungry Hungry Hippos is to eating." When Uwe heard of this, he wanted to know Seanbaby's age, height, weight and fighting experience since he "learned he wasn't fighting a midget." Seanbaby claims he sent said information to Boll, after which Boll chose not to appear on the program."
