On this ALL NEW episode of the After Movie Diner we start down a new series where each week we will cover: 1. a movie I really should've seen but haven't, starring or made by somebody I am a big fan of and 2. a weird find from my VHS collection So to that end we are talking about The Kiss - a criminally under seen, gonzo possession horror from 1988…

This is incredible. Sleazy Spader comes to an end, potentially forever. So, who did we rope into appearing on the last ever Sleazy Spader episode? Why Andy Lunn of course!

It's finally here and yes, it is most definitely Summer now - I don't care... I'm not changing it now. Anyway this episode is one of the greatest Sleazy Spader episodes ever! All sorts of things are discussed, questions answered, and yet we'll never have the full picture - we'll never truly know the one they call, Jimmy Spades. This episode is funn…

When you truly fall in love with something, like Wings Hauser movies, the tendency is to push it as far as it'll go - and so, with our trusted, frequent and equally Wings obsessed co-host, Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur, in tow, we head down the Hauser rabbit hole and discuss a wild sextet of his films, broken down into 3 double bill…

This week we are joined by Dr. Action himself, Doc Paul Crowson but rather than talking explosions and round house kicks, we are traveling back to the heady, indie waters of the early 90s when everyone wanted on the Tarantino, Soderbergh, Linklater, Smith boat - even documentary filmmaker, Philip Haas who decided to adapt Paul Auster's The Music of…

On what could absolutely, very probably, be the last ever episode of The After Movie Diner, we go out with the very suitable subject matter of a Donald Pleasence double bill - We talk The Uncanny from 1977, which has the preposterous task of making a bunch of house cats seem scary and The House of Usher from 1989 which looks like it was shot on a c…

On this episode we explore the best laid plans of podcasters can be tricky waters in Hollywood these days but can also, if said podcasters are flexible of spirit (rather than flexible of spine or limb), lead to even more interesting discussions about disappointment, indie horror directors trying to go mainstream, what are you able to do on a budget…

Something cobbled together this way comes! So it's been a minute since we did our last show and despite trying, with the best will in the world, to record a couple of episodes in the passing weeks, what we have here is a hastily cobbled together episode from two recordings that were mired by technical issues and tired, grumpy hosts. Anyway, hopeful…
