All in The After Movie Diner
On this episode we talk 3 movies by Indie Horror Directors and their various efforts in and out of the Hollywood studio system - The Reckoning, The Void and The Quick and the Dead.
This week Jim and Jon talk about mad ice cream vendors, they go deep into all sorts of conversations and theories regarding the new Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham movie, Wrath of Man and there’s also another great shed based email from listener, Robin Doyle!
Jon starts his journey delving into modern horror with a look at 2017’s Netflix Stephen King adaptation, 1922 starring Thomas Jane.
This week’s episode is a podcast Frankenstein’s Monster that was cobbled together despite technical issues and really grumpy hosts. See if you can notice. Oh and we talk about an energy drink hopped up and mute Nic Cage fighting large, animatronic, anthropomorphic, cartoon animals.
On this episode Jim Wallace implausibly manages to get Jon Cross to watch and talk about (at length) the low budget Bruce Willis, Sci-Fi movie Breach directed by someone very lazy who once made a Dove commercial.
Jon Cross and Jim Wallace conclude their killer vehicle/Emilio Estevez/Stephen King trilogy with Alex Cox’s 1984 sci-fi/comedy debut Repo Man.
Off the back of our Stephen King/Emilio Estevez discussion last week, it was decided to tackle another King film but we didn’t stray far from Maximum Overdrive, sticking, as we do, with a killer vehicle movie - John Carpenter’s Christine.
As host Jon Cross was briefly in North Carolina we decided to cover one of the State’s wildest and weirdest movies, Maximum Overdrive. We don’t take all of the cocaine but Stephen King did and what resulted from it, is, at the very least, interesting. Oh and Jon starts a cult…
Scott Toomey and Kimberly Cross join host Jon Cross to talk all about Scott Rosenberg’s and Ted Demme’s Beautiful Girls on its 25th Anniversary
This week we are joined by guest co-host Jay Mayo to talk all about Barry Levinson’s 1982 coming of age, comedy, drama, Diner, as well as speedboat chases, inaccurate guns, double taking pigeons, selfish dog owners and more sheds!
This week our intrepid podcast hosts explore the memesphere, discuss sheds, devise a variety of weird t-shirt slogans and go back to our childhood….childhood…childhood (echo) to talk the teens vs terrorists, boarding school set action caper, Toy Soldiers - as a tie-in to our star, Keith Coogan, interview!
Well here it is, the finale to our Outrageously Bad Eric Idle Film Season - did we leave the most outrageously bad till last? Potentially... Come listen as Jim Wallace and Jon Cross wrestle with Robert Downey Sr’s Too Much Sun starring Eric Idle, Ralph Macchio, Robert Downey Jr., Leo Rossi and more…
Our Eric Idle season continues with a very rare comedy caper from 1991, Missing Pieces, that we have every intention in reviving and making a huge smash hit! We also speak to one of the film’s stars, Robert Wuhl!
Our hosts wade ever deeper into the outrageously bad Eric Idle film season and discuss a film for which Mr. Idle served as writer, star and producer, Splitting Heirs - maybe having control will lead to a comedic masterpiece worthy of a former Python or maybe it leads to a hollow, confused, miscast mess - who can tell?
The usual New Year gang get together to jaw about Christopher Walken movies and make the requisite amount of filthy jokes.
Our families pleaded with us, scientists warned against it and people shrieked in the streets saying “haven’t we suffered enough this year?!” and yet we are going ahead anyway with our chronologically backwards, deep delve into the mire of outrageously bad Eric Idle movies. First up? Why it’s An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn of course!
We talk the last of our current run of Donald Pleasence movies, Dirty Knights' Work AKA Trial by Combat AKA A Choice of Weapons, a thoroughly British comedy drama about a bunch of wannabe toffs taking dress up too far and then we make an Eric Idle based decision that could end the podcast for ever!!
The doldrum killers, Jim Wallace and Jon Cross are back with more Donald Pleasence based tomfoolery as they kick about in the murky, dull waters of 1970s Grecian Horror, The Devil's Men which co-stars Peter Cushing.
Silly hats, camp accents, weird mountain hobos, the splendour of New Zealand, sunken treasure, chainsaws, rickety escape vehicles made out of old helicopter parts and madness and of course lots and lots of Donald Pleasence! Enjoy!
Your hosts take a look at another Donald Pleasence classic, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
