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 c…

On this episode we explore the best laid plans of podcasters can be tricky waters in Hollywood these days but can also, if said podcasters are flexible of spirit (rather than flexible of spine or limb), lead to even more interesting discussions about disappointment, indie horror directors trying to go mainstream, what are you able to do on a budget…

Something cobbled together this way comes! So it's been a minute since we did our last show and despite trying, with the best will in the world, to record a couple of episodes in the passing weeks, what we have here is a hastily cobbled together episode from two recordings that were mired by technical issues and tired, grumpy hosts. Anyway, hopeful…

When you get to episode 337 trying to write anything in this space that any of you care about becomes a real struggle.
