Movie Postmortem

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we review DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon. From stunning flight sequences to a moving musical score, we break down what makes this film a bad adaptation of the source material, but a fantastic film! We had a lot of Causes for Celebration. But what did we decide was the only negative for this film? Tune in to find out!

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, Isaiah puts on the cape and cowl to revisit Batman Begins, the gritty 2005 reboot that launched the Dark Knight trilogy. From ninja training to Christian Bale’s growl, he talks about how Christopher Nolan's origin tale compares to other classics like Spider-Man.

In this episode, we revisit the Jim Carrey’s 1994 hit, The Mask. From Tex Avery-inspired cartoon antics to Cameron Diaz’s unforgettable entrance, the film has a lot to offer, and we’re here to dissect it. We discuss a lot of "Causes for Celebration" and offer a few surprising "Script Stitch-Ups" to strengthen the romantic side of this story.

In this episode, we head to Camp Crystal Lake to revisit Friday the 13th (1980), the slasher that launched a franchise. From gory makeup effects to sudden plot twists, we dig into what worked, what didn’t, and why this horror classic may be more infamous than actually good. We find a lot more "Causes of Death" than "Causes for Celebration"! Plus, a couple of fake commercials for final girls and camp accident victims!

In this episode, we discuss Eclipse, the third film in the Twilight franchise.

Plus, a couple of Twilight themed commercials!

In this episode, we cover Train to Busan, the 2016 South Korean zombie film that is a mix of fast zombie action and biting social commentary. Listen to hear our "Causes of Celebration" and the difference between this film compared to American zombie films.

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we board the Event Horizon, the haunted spaceship film from Paul W.S. Anderson’s that dares to ask, “What if a spaceship boldly went... to Hell?!” With a charismatic crew, eye-poppingly dated 3D effects, and an evil Dr. Alan Grant, does this film deliver cosmic horror or is it just wasted potential? We break down the 'Causes of Death or Causes for Celebration' and offer our 'Script Stitch-Ups' before we get sucked into the unknown.

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we tackle our first-ever listener recommendation: Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs. Equal parts horror, comedy, and Looney Tunes, the film delivers a wild mix of social commentary, gore, and characters you won’t ever forget (even if you want to). We break down the 'Causes of Death or Causes for Celebration' and offer our 'Script Stitch-Ups' for this twisted home invasion tale.

In this episode, we check out Grave Encounters, the found-footage horror film where a fake ghost-hunting show turns terrifyingly real as the crew is trapped in an abandoned mental hospital that won't let them leave. Is it a hidden gem of the genre or just another shaky-cam letdown? We break down the 'Causes of Death or Causes for Celebration' and offer our 'Script Stitch-Ups' to elevate this low budget horror film to the next level.

Happy May the 4th! In this Star Wars Day special episode of Movie Postmortem, we revisit Star War Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
