Doomsday at the Movies

Aftermonth enters its third week as Amber & Ryan watch 1982's The Aftermath and discuss the film's progressive and regressive sexual politics, Sid Haig, and how the movie gives off divorced dad energy.

Amber & Ryan talk about 2014's bummer indie gem Aftermath featuring Monica Keena and Edward Furlong and get derailed talking about diesel engines, EMPs, late-period Friday the 13th sequels, and pop tarts.

Aftermonth is upon us! Amber & Ryan experience 2012's zombie/other stuff(?) film Aftermath and then, exhausted of things to talk about, watch two short films also called Aftermath.

Amber & Ryan try not to panic as they make their way through the glacially paced 1981 miniseries version of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Amber & Ryan dive into the 2005's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Is the movie a good adaptation of the material? Is Sam Rockwell doing a George W. Bush impersonation? Is Trillian a Manic Pixie Dream Girl or just being played by Zooey Deschanel? All will be answered.

Unable to pass up an opportunity to discuss movies about a dystopia that we're all currently living in, Amber & Ryan discuss the Covidsploitation films Songbird and Corona Zombies.

Amber & Ryan ask all of your biggest questions about 2010's Repo Men. Does Jude Law's character have any redeeming qualities? Is this movie's subtext supposed to be this homoerotic? Did this movie rip off Repo! The Genetic Opera?

Amber & Ryan talk rock-opera Repo! The Genetic Opera; Bill Moseley's singing voice, why everyone involved should be frankly embarrassed to sing the presence of Sarah Brightman, and how little the movie actually has to do with organ repossession.

Amber & Ryan discuss 2018's Mortal Engines, predator cities, CGI bombast, how themes get lost in translation between books and movies, and do their best phlegmatic robot imitations.

Amber & Ryan discuss the Australian zombie movie Cargo; its unique approach to a zombie apocalypse story, its handling of Indigenous Australian people, and how it adapts a 7 minute short film into a nearly 2 hour movie.
