    Season 2 - Ep 22 - Diablo, A Working Man and Black Creek - a new action showdown!
    Aug 1 2025
    New Action Showdown!

    Strap in for fists, fury, and a whole lotta fun as Matt Poirier of Direct to Video Connoisseur and the DTVC Podcast returns to The After Movie Diner for a brand-new Action Showdown!

    This round, host Jon Cross and Matt go toe-to-toe with:
    🔥 Diablo – Scott Adkins brings the pain in this slick, high-octane, beautifully shot, action flick.
    👊 A Working Man – Jason Statham trades quips, kicks and confused looks with goons a plenty in this gritty, blue-collar beatdown.
    💥 Black Creek – Cynthia Rothrock’s long-awaited passion project, her martial arts, revenge heavy, western, finally lands, and it's got fights, heart, and an ayahuasca trip with a donkey!

    From VOD sleepers to modern action gems, we break it all down with deep dives, detours, and plenty of love for the genre.

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

    Season 2 - Ep 21 - In the Paré Way - No Place to Hide and Into The Sun
    Apr 26 2025
    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

    Season 2 - Ep 20 - Tough Guys Don't Dance and Hologram Man
    Feb 7 2025
    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
    Jan 14 2025
    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 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

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

    Season 2 - Ep 18 - In the Paré Way - DragonFight and Seizure
    Dec 15 2024
    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!!

  • Season 2 - Ep 16 - The Kiss & Soldier

    Season 2 - Ep 16 - The Kiss & Soldier
    Oct 27 2024
    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 and Soldier, the oft maligned, sci-fi flopperooni from Paul W. S. Anderson, starring Kurt Russell

  • Season 2 - Ep 15 - The Pentagon Papers - Sleazy Spader Springtime 7: "Sleaze the Day" No. 4

    Season 2 - Ep 15 - The Pentagon Papers - Sleazy Spader Springtime 7: "Sleaze the Day" No. 4
    Sep 20 2024
    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, it's best to go out on a BANG!
