The After Movie Diner Podcast

I miss the days of the actual diner, but hopefully when the world sets itself right Jon and Jim will be able to get back to the old routine. Despite pandemics and life changes this show has plowed on and has been one of my top listens for many years. (Not quite the TEN years the show had been around, but I’m guessing at least half of that or more)

I can’t take the disgusting premise of the show. People chewing on food while trying to talk about movies. People actually like this idea.

I love Sleazy Spader Springtime seasons!! It is what got me listening to the podcast. Looking forward to future episodes! The show makes me laugh so much.

The main host Jon Cross is fairly witty and brings a moderate amount of style and personality to this show, however his co-host Jim is simply just a WILDMAN! Completely uncontrollable and can only be described as “a human powder keg of ruckus and ferociousness waiting to explode at a moment’s notice”. Whether it’s his nonsensical ramblings and wild speculation about the motives behind a director’s misguided vision or his blatant disregard of Jon’s very reasonable opinion about such matters as Jim’s ugly bum face. WILDMAN Jim is known for invoking such remarks from Jon as “can we please talk about this bloody movie” and “I’m trying to introduce the bloody movie” and of course “I don’t know why I even bother trying anymore”. Like a majestic wild mustang running free through the hills and valleys of the northern Rocky Mountains, Jim Wallace cannot be restrained by the structure and rules of everyday podcast conversation. You speak and then I speak? I think not! WILDMAN Jim does as he pleases. Why? Because he knows no other way! In Webster’s English dictionary there is a full page dedicated to the word WILDMAN in which there are 2 pictures of Jim, because one just isn’t enough. Ancient mystical scrolls foretold of a man so wild that conventional societal guidelines pertaining to conversion would never be considered let alone attempted. That man? Jim Wallace! More recently the local state penitentiary dedicated its highest security cell block housing its most violent and deranged criminally insane inmates as the “WILDMAN Jim Wallace” wing. And finally there is an old wives tale about WILDMAN Jim roaming the countryside becoming furious at the thought of a dish called the “diner Wellington” and biting the heads off of unsuspecting restaurant employees who forget to bring milk for his camomile tea. All of that is to say the podcast overall is good. I guess
