Movie Postmortem

In this episode we review Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), the sequel to the 2014 film that seriously upped the kaiju count by including classic monsters such as Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah!

We talk about the score, visuals, and the narrative choices that left made one of us laugh out loud. Tune in!

In this episode we review the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, Predator (1987). Equal parts sci-fi and action, the film gave us one of cinema’s most iconic creatures and some of the most quotable one-liners of all time.

We talk about why the Predator remains one of the best-designed movie monsters of all time and what parts don't hold up today.

In this episode, we discuss Ang Lee’s Hulk (2003), a superhero film probably 20 years ahead of its time. A strange mix of art-house ambition and comic-book action, the film explores Bruce Banner’s repressed trauma and while also delivering the spectacle of a giant green rage monster. The result? Something that really feels like an A24 superhero film.

Join us as we dissect the ‘Causes of Death or Causes for Celebration’ and offer our ‘Script Stitch-Ups’ for this pre-MCU Hulk origin story.

In this episode we review War of the Worlds (2025) - a low budget film shot during the COVID lockdown, where we follow the story of one man experiencing an alien attack on Earth while never leaving his computer screen. We talk about why Ice Cube was a poor choice for the lead, how blatant advertising pulls you out of the story, and whether this is a new classic "fun bad" film. Plus a new show segment - The Autopsy Report!

In this episode, we go back to 2012 to revisit The Amazing Spider-Man. We talk about Andrew Garfield being the "middle child" web-slinger, a love story that may remind you of Twilight, and a villain who still looks intimidating even though he's just a lizard wearing a lab coat. Plus, Reggie shares a red-carpet story involving Emma Stone, nerves, and a missed marriage proposal opportunity.

In this episode, we review Godzilla (2014), the Legendary reboot that gave us monster fighting, but made us wait for it. We talk about Bryan Cranston’s too-early exit, the surprisingly good updated design for Godzilla, and the frustration of having the film cut away just before a fight starts. Does the payoff justify the slow burn? Tune in to find out.

In this episode we review The Core (2003), the film that asked: what would happen if the earth's core stopped spinning? From birds falling from the sky to an earth-saving mission that involves nukes and an unkempt Aaron Eckhart, this movie is peak disaster movie madness! We discuss the film’s bad science, messy hackers, miracle metals, and whether it earns its place in the "so bad it’s fun" hall of fame.

For our Shark Week episode, we’re covering Deep Blue Sea! This 1999 cult classic features genetically enhanced sharks that terrorize people trapped in a sinking research facility. Join us as we dissect this film's super smart sharks, super dumb humans, and some of the worst lab safety protocols in movie history. Does it sink or swim? Tune in to find out.

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we review Superman (2025), the first film in the new DC Comics Cinematic Universe. We talk about how this Superman compares to those of the past, the unneeded staff at the Daily Planet, and why the dog is the true MVP of this story! We also break down our Causes of Death, Celebration, and of course, a few of Script Stitch-Ups.

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we review Jurassic World: Rebirth, the 7th film in the Jurassic Park franchise that imagines a world where people are bored of dinosaurs. We break down everything from the flimsy premise and shaky science to Scarlett Johansson’s underwritten role and the film’s baffling decision to skip over the more exciting parts. We tell you why you should wait for streaming or just skip this completely!
