Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Welcome to the Basement (stylized as Welcome To The Basement in the video titles) is a Video Review Show released under Blame Society Productions, created by co-founder Matt Sloan. The series stars Sloan as the preponderant host; with close friend and Chad Vader alum Craig Johnson as his Second Banana; the former's wife, Tona Williams, as the unseen though equally as involved camera operator; and a plethora of thespians and other entertainment industry veterans - both living, dead, B-rated and otherwise. Oh, and Matt's cats.As the page quote outlines, the premise of the series is Sloan and Johnson watching a diverse selection of films from the cinematic past – from the Hollywood mainstream to the quirkiest cult classics — and having a thoughtful discussion thereafter. Craig never knows what the movies are until Tona starts rolling, so it’s always as much a surprise to him as it is the audience. On occasion, the two switch roles, and Matt has also twice employed a third party to curate an episode by picking a film from his "secret list", as well as awarding them with the bonus of getting to replace it with whichever movie they so desire (so long as it has gone unseen by his eyes).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The series can be viewed on YouTube here and here, and is embedded on the official website here. It also possesses a Facebook page, which regularly provides updates for the show.

Awesome Mc Coolname: Matt and Craig's hypothetical pilot monikers "Juicy Fruit" and "Tuesday's Child".

Badass Beard: Matt oscillates with sporting a lip liner/goatee combo, and Craig with heavy stubble.

Berserk Button: Well, more like Irk Button, but while Matt states that he does not generally abhor substandard cinematic pieces with fervor, he makes an exception for those that receive undeserved laud and recognition to top it all off, specifically averring 2004's Crash to be a case of this.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })

Bad "Bad Acting": Sadly, a common affliction of many of the films to pass through the eponymous ground-level house story, a particularly pertinent example being Tough Guys Don't Dance (among its other innumerable flaws).
