In a slight change from our regular programming, the incredible, incomparable and utterly delightful Nic Meek-Whitehead joins us to discuss The Substance - the new Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley film from Writer, Director, Editor and Producer, Coralie Fargeat.

We discuss the nature of femininity in the media, vanity and the human animal, females relationship with male oppressors, body horror, practical effects, humour being the fli...

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 flopp...

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!

Matt Poirer from Direct to Video Connoisseur, is back and we are delving into a weird, low budget, confusingly edited and bizarrely written entry into Spader's career - that might just end up being the only thing that explains everything and makes any sense.

We uncover the Spader Matrix Conundrum, Rediscover the powerful jazz tunes of Bingeing Scrubbs and we discuss the french detective series, Detective Ennui...

It's finally here and yes, it is most definitely Summer now - I don't care... I'm not changing it now.

Anyway this episode is one of the greatest Sleazy Spader episodes ever!

All sorts of things are discussed, questions answered, and yet we'll never have the full picture - we'll never truly know the one they call, Jimmy Spades.

This episode is funny, weird, wonderful, long, absorbent, thick, soft and easy on your behind.

When you truly fall in love with something, like Wings Hauser movies, the tendency is to push it as far as it'll go - and so, with our trusted, frequent and equally Wings obsessed co-host, Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur, in tow, we head down the Hauser rabbit hole and discuss a wild sextet of his films, broken down into 3 double bills, essentially.

There's Dead Man Walking and Street Asylum
Mutant and Nightmare at Noon

Our guest again is the Direct to Video Connoisseur himself, Matt Poirier and on the way to talking about the sheer, shouty genius of Predator 2, we solve toilets, we solve sports, we talk shop lifting drug stores, Seinfeld and Netflix joining forces to bring us a movie on Pop-Tarts, a shitty article on Physical Media, urban filmed action movies and lots more!

This week we are joined by Dr. Action himself, Doc Paul Crowson but rather than talking explosions and round house kicks, we are traveling back to the heady, indie waters of the early 90s when everyone wanted on the Tarantino, Soderbergh, Linklater, Smith boat - even documentary filmmaker, Philip Haas who decided to adapt Paul Auster's The Music of Chance into a fascinating two hander between Sleazy Spader and Mandy Patinkin, suppo...

On what could absolutely, very probably, be the last ever episode of The After Movie Diner, we go out with the very suitable subject matter of a Donald Pleasence double bill - We talk The Uncanny from 1977, which has the preposterous task of making a bunch of house cats seem scary and The House of Usher from 1989 which looks like it was shot on a cheap, local, theatre stage covered in polystyrene and crap Halloween decorations.
