''Welcome to the Basement'' (stylized as ''Welcome To The Basement'' in the video titles) is a VideoReviewShow released under [[http://www.blamesociety.net/ Blame Society Productions]], created by co-founder Matt Sloan. The series stars Sloan as the preponderant host; with close friend and ''WebVideo/ChadVader'' alum Craig Johnson as his SecondBanana; 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.

* BrickJoke: During Episode 1 of Season 4, while watching ''Film/BeyondTheValleyOfTheDolls'', Matt notes a similarity between Craig and the character of Ronnie "Z-Man" Barzell. Craig replies that he will "start working on that for Halloween". Months later, it is October, and the special Halloween episode wherein Matt and Craig each dress as a character from one of the movies that they've watched that year. Craig [[spoiler:is dressed as Ronnie "Z-Man" Barzell.]]
