The After Movie Diner started life simply as a film review blog/diary but quickly sprawled into a website featuring several podcasts, detailed film reviews, celebrity interviews and many collaborators and contributors. Take a look around, if you love movies of any kind then there's something here for you!
All in The After Movie Diner
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

Jim Wallace and Jon Cross are back talking Edward Norton's Motherless Brooklyn starring Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Willem Dafoe, Alec Baldwin and basically everyone. It’s a pretty awesome detective film set in the 50s filled with great characters.

Your hosts Jon Cross and Jim Wallace discuss 1997’s serial killer thriller, SwitchBack from Jeb Stuart, the writer of Die Hard and The Fugitive, starring Dennis Quaid, Danny Glover and R Lee Ermey.
