The After Movie Diner Podcast -Season 2 - Episode 23 - The Becky Films

Recorded last year but being released now, Matt Poirier from the DTVC Connoisseur Podcast joins me again and this time we’re talking The Becky Films - Becky and The Wrath of Becky both starring the incomparable Lulu Wilson - two films I think have flown under the radar too damn long!!

We talk to producer Matt Manjourides, one half of Not the Funeral Home and creator/producer of The Last Dive in With Joe Bob Briggs and the new horror film, Night of the Reaper - now on shudder - which I also review!
We talk Splatterween - Joe Bob Halloween Show with GWAR, going live on Oct 24th, the first Joe Bob/Joe Lynch Blu-Ray, Darcy the Mail Girl, Night of the Reaper and more.

It’s an all-out Action Showdown as Jon Cross is joined by Matt Poirier from the Direct to Video Connoisseur to break down three brand-new brawlers: Diablo starring Scott Adkins, A Working Man with Jason Statham, and Cynthia Rothrock’s passion project Black Creek. From powerhouse punches to passion-fueled projects, we’re diving deep into the latest in modern action mayhem!

We review Black Creek (2024) - A gutsy, beautifully lit, grindhousey, action-packed, and very independent film that’s unique in Cynthia Rothrock’s body of work and, thankfully, her hardworking, passionate fingerprints are all over it. There’s a surprising amount of brutality and blood-letting that gives it a scuzzy little jolt that surprised me. Sure, it’s got some flaws…

Jon Cross and Gary Hill are In the Paré way once again and Into The Sun, a fascinating slice of 90s action that fuses aviation thrills and buddy-cop dynamics, starring Michael Paré and Anthony Michael Hall. For our VHS Vault selection, we dust off No Place to Hide, a Cannon Films drama blending neo-noir tension with oddball casting, featuring Kris Kristofferson, Drew Barrymore, and Martin Landau. Two movies, one great guest, and all the Diner discussion you crave!

Matt Poirier from the Direct to Video Connoisseur joins us and we are back in the world of Wings Hauser! We dip into Cannon Films and talk Norman Mailer’s Tough Guys Don't Dance.
Then we are talking about the company that took the Cannon baton and ran with it, PM Entertainment and Hologram Man.
