    10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) with Final Girls Podcast - Bunker Boogaloo

    In this episode, we are joined by the hosts of Final Girls Podcast to review 10 Cloverfield Lane, the bottle thriller about paranoia and control. Together, we discuss Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s quietly brilliant protagonist, and how the movie utilizes uncertainty to keep both its characters and the audience guessing about what will come next! We also debate the controversial third act, the Cloverfield connection, and whether the genre shift enhances or undercuts the film’s strengths. Follow us on ⁠BlueSky⁠ Final Girls Podcast

    Mercy (2026) - PrattGPT

    In this episode of Movie Postmortem, I review Mercy (2026), a screen-life thriller that can’t quite decide what kind of movie it wants to be. Marketed as a cautionary AI tale, the film promises high-stakes techno-paranoia but morphs into a far more conventional action film. I talk about why the screen-life format and AI angle feel unnecessary, how the story would function almost identically without them, and what really shocked me about the end of this film!

    Megamind (2010) - Good movie, bad timing!

    In this episode, we review Megamind. Released in a year packed with animation heavy-hitters, this clever superhero satire was largely forgotten despite great voice acting and a surprisingly thoughtful take on villains, heroes, and purpose. We break down why Megamind works and why its release date may have doomed it commercially.

    Prometheus (2012) with Vaguely Nerdy Podcast - Engineers, Aliens, and the Jesus Connection

    In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we are joined by Cheryl and Jae and from the Vaguely Nerdy podcast to discuss Prometheus (2012), Ridley Scott’s ambitious Alien prequel that asks big questions about creation, and the origin of the xenomorphs. We do a full plot rundown and give you our takes on the events on the film. Most importantly, we tackle one of the strangest ideas buried in the film: how director Ridley Scott ties the Aliens’ storyline into Christian theology. As always, we determine the Causes of Death or Causes for Celebration and offer Script Stitch-Ups. Vaguely Nerdy Follow us on Bluesky ⁠@moviepostmortem.bsky.social⁠ New episodes every week!

    Dark Skies (2013) - Extraterrestrial Activity

    In this episode, we review Dark Skies, the alien-abduction film that plays like a Paranormal Activity film with an alien swapped in. We talk about why this genre blend works better than it has any right to and why the dysfunctional family dynamic aids the story.

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) - Oscar the Grinch

    In this episode, we review the high-grossing adaptation of the popular Dr. Seuss children's book. We do a plot rundown and discuss the production design that brought Whoville to life, our favorite lines from Jim Carrey, the character we would cut from the film, and why we have a problem with the film showing that the Grinch lives off of trash! Plus, two fun Christmas commercials! Merry Grinchmas!
