The Paré Parade marches on! This week on The After Movie Diner , we hop Into The Sun — the movie that dares to ask, "What if Top Gun crashed headfirst into The Hard Way... and Michael Paré and Anthony Michael Hall were at the controls?" Then for the VHS Pick we slip on our Cannon Films shades and get sketchy with No Place to Hide , where Kris Kristofferson protects a young Drew Barrymore while Mar...

Matt Poirier from the Direct to Video Connoisseur  is back again and we are back in the world of The Wings.... Wings Hauser that is! We dip into the bizarro time when Cannon Films gave Norman Mailer money to make a movie out of his jokey, pulp, novella, ghost story, that he only wrote because his publisher's contract required one more book from him. Yes, that's right, saddle up your Ryan O'Neils a...

Matt Poirier  from the Direct to Video Connoisseur  joins us to talk about the bizarre Michael Moriarty , Sonny Bono  and Julia Louis-Dreyfus  starring and John Carl Beuchler  directed movie, Troll - listen to hear if Moriarty 's wildly insane and embarrassing dancing beats that of Crispin Glover in Friday the 13th Pt. 4 . Then we get sweaty and swampy down south and see how many shitty silk shirt...

On a new sub-series and beautiful collaboration of The After Movie Diner and Cinema Beef Podcasts, Gary Hill and Jon Cross will dive into the career of one Mr. Michael Paré and every episode, still explore a second film that we came across on VHS. We recorded part of Cinema Beef's Halloween episode with the Paré film Bad Moon, and you can find that - and every other episode - here . On this episod...

In a slight change from our regular programming, the incredible, incomparable and utterly delightful Nic Meek-Whitehead joins us to discuss The Substance - the new Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley film from Writer, Director, Editor and Producer, Coralie Fargeat. We discuss the nature of femininity in the media, vanity and the human animal, females relationship with male oppressors, body horror, pra...

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 starring Joanna Pacula  and Meredith Salenger  a...

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! Basically the Wizard behind the curtain (or perhaps tiny mouse blinds - listen to the show) of all things sleazy spades, who has kept our mail bag filled low these many years. It's a lot of fun and like Spader says all the time,...

Matt Poirer from Direct to Video Connoisseur , is back and we are delving into a weird, low budget, confusingly edited and bizarrely written entry into Spader's career - that might just end up being the only thing that explains everything and makes any sense. We uncover the Spader Matrix Conundrum, Rediscover the powerful jazz tunes of Bingeing Scrubbs and we discuss the french detective series, D...

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 funny, weird, wonderful, long, absorbent, thick, soft...

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 bills, essentially. There's Dead Man Walking  and S...

Our guest again is the Direct to Video Connoisseur himself, Matt Poirier and on the way to talking about the sheer, shouty genius of Predator 2, we solve toilets, we solve sports, we talk shop lifting drug stores, Seinfeld and Netflix joining forces to bring us a movie on Pop-Tarts, a shitty article on Physical Media, urban filmed action movies and lots more!

We talk about his recent, more independent films that he's been working on, Stephen King on screen, working with Karen Allen , his new album "The Kitchen Tapes" recorded during covid and...

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 Chance into a fascinating two hander between...

Joining us to talk Sleazy Spader, in the most graphical, sexual, ludicrous and mad film Spader possibly ever did, David Cronenberg 's 1996 lilting soliliquy to gratuitous sex and car accidents, Crash , is friend of the show, novelist, podcaster, blogger and lover of Moxie, Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur . We talk writing, ideas, getting over the first act hump, the world, society, t...

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 cheap, local, theatre stage covered in polystyrene...

Recorded back in January, here is host Jon Cross and special guest Kirk Howle discussing Mexican, possessed-hand, horror film - Demonoid - and occasionally taking long, weird and, hopefully hilarious, tangents about butt holes.
