    Season 3 - Episode 1 - Freejack and Dick Tracy

    Here it is, an all new chapter for The After Movie Diner (or is that The After Movie Driver?!) and it's starting on the 15th Anniversary of when we began as a podcast.  We've died many times, we've changed formats and we've been around the block but somehow, by some miracle, we're still here.  Here it is - Season 3! - Jim is back as a regular co-host and the shows are going to have a little of that flavour of when we would just sit down in a diner and talk movies, only this time we're driving?! and there's not really any editing! We always did the podcast mainly for us but now this is really just us - unedited, old friends, grumpy, chatting away, live, talking movies.  For the first episode back, our 15th Anniversary and for the first episode of Season Three we're talking big Hollywood swings and misses - Freejack and Dick Tracy.

    Season 2 - Ep 21 - In the Paré Way - No Place to Hide and Into The Sun

    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 Martin Landau lurks menacingly (and magnificently) in the background. Special guest Gary Hill from the Cinema Beef Podcast joins us for the ride — buckle up, it’s gonna get weird!

    Season 2 - Ep 20 - Tough Guys Don't Dance and Hologram Man

    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 and dust off your Isabella Rosselinis and get ready to get seriously weird with Penn Jillette, as head off to the Twin Peaksian world of Tough Guys Don't Dance. Then we are blowing shit up, shooting lots of guns and dressing up in our own, incredibly life-like, rubber skin as we take a futuristic ride to PM Entertainment Town and visit with The Hologram Man - because the Hologram Man can and he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.

    Season 2 - Ep 19 - Troll & Delta Heat

    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 s****y silk shirts you have to go through to get taken semi-seriously as an "L.A. Cop" on the streets of Louisiana, when really you look like a low level pimp or hustler from the prisons of Cuba, as Anthony Edwards is ridiculously miscast alongside the always worth the price of admission, Lance Henriksen in the VHS pick - Delta Heat SUPPORT INDIE CREATIVES Subscribe and/or leave us a rating and review wherever you get your podcasts - Our show is on all platforms, take a look!

    Season 2 - Ep 18 - In the Paré Way - DragonFight and Seizure

    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 episode we talk about DragonFight from 1990, in which Paré stars with Robert Z'Dar, James Hong, Charles Napier and Buck Flower and is some sort of post apocalyptic, corporation driven, fight to the death, Z'Dar fuelled madness and our VHS pick, Seizure which is equally loopy but a lot more 70s and happens to be the first movie from a certain Oliver Stone All this and more on a jam packed brand new episode of The After Movie Diner!!
