The "lost" Episode 8 of CBC (originally recorded Jan 2023) is now available for the first time anywhere! https://t.co/OnxDzgXXLa

We do all the films at The Basin but admittedly this one was pretty obscure, not altogether great, and it turns out, not holding anything back when it comes to executing I-talians!

You can listen to it here. It's embarrassing and cringe inducing. And the victims of this century old injustice deserved better. 8 https://t.co/S2tP632eN1

Well okay it's time to share a few notes from our latest episode. VENDETTA (1999) is an historical drama about the 1891 lynching of Italian Americans in New Orleans following the murder of Police Chief David Hennessy. 1

The reason the mayor's speech had to be so carefully edited, we discovered, was because it was loaded with typical Cantrell self-aggrandizement and confrontational airing of personal grievance. Highly inappropriate for the occasion. But typical for this mayor. 7

The answer is yes we have new episodes coming out soon. We've got a haunted house movie just about in time for Halloween and we've got a movie about a certain New Orleans Police Chief just in time for... the mayor to pick a new police chief. One or both should be out next week

Do you think this is true?

It is the star of the New Orleans shot classic rom com, "When We First Met"

[Catch Basin Cinema @BasinCinema]

The classic New Orleans shot film was covered in Ep 4. One of Devine's co-stars was a former Miss Teen USA which is a subsidiary of the Miss Universe pageant which was hosted in New Orleans this year also https://t.co/L1n9AsgRD3

Well see now thanks to CBC's extensive review of "When We First Met" for Episode 4, that film's star is now a Bacchus. https://t.co/iuLjSM0SNe

@TK_Wharton Only just got it "submitted" this afternoon so maybe it will be sooner than later. Apple makes this unnecessarily difficult

[Catch Basin Cinema @BasinCinema]

Holy crap we might finally be available on Apple. If anyone out there is an Apple user, let us know when you find us there
