In this episode, we review Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the film that introduced the world to Freddy Krueger! We talk about the film’s surreal dream imagery, iconic villain, and its blending of horror and humor.

Tune in as we break down its ‘Causes of Death or Causes for Celebration,’ and offer a few dream-inspired ‘Script Stitch-Ups.’

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we review Evil Dead Rise - a gory reboot/sequel of the cult franchise that trades the cabin in the woods for an apartment and the chainsaw for a cheese grater. We talk about the practical effects, the relentless violence, and the moments that made us cheer, cringe, and cover our eyes.

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we review Tron: Legacy with special guests, the hosts of the Vaguely Nerdy Podcast! Together, we dive into this legacy sequel that dazzled audiences with neon visuals and a Daft Punk soundtrack that was leagues better than the overly familiar story.

We discuss light cycles, poor de-aging effects, digital damsels in distress, the best way to watch this film, and much more!,

Tune in as we and our nerdy guests also weigh in on whether Tron: Legacy is a must watch before you head to theaters to see Tron: Ares.

In this episode, we review Jordan Peele’s smash hit, Get Out. We talk about the layered symbolism in everything from teacups to deer, and the way horror is used as a lens for very real fears. Tune in for our postmortem on the movie that made everyone look twice at their tea drinking therapists.

In this episode we review The Cabin in the Woods, Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon’s meta-horror/comedy mash-up that explores the idea that every slasher film cliche is actually the necessary result of an elaborate ritual with world-wide implications.

Is this film a trope-smashing triumph, or just a clever idea that doesn't go far enough? Tune in as we identify its ‘Causes of Death’ or ‘Causes for Celebration,’ and suggest some huge ‘Script Stitch-Ups’.

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.
