Chris Hall and Mateo Javier Acosta revisit films of recent memory whose discourses were left unsettled—where the conversation ended with an ellipsis rather than a period. These are films with reputations that have yet to be properly nailed down and often make you ask, “Where are they now?” The first halves of episodes are spoiler-free discussions of the film’s life cycle since release and everyone's experiences with the film before rewatching it and moving into the spoiler-filled deep dive in the second half.

  1. The Superman Ep: Man of Steel (2013) with Dylan Smith and Jacob Boesger

    The Superman Ep: Man of Steel (2013) with Dylan Smith and Jacob Boesger

    With Superman (2025) being one of the most widely seen and discussed films of last year and Man of Tomorrow (2027) production now underway, the boys revisit Zack Snyder's polarizing Man of Steel (2013). Over a decade later, how does movie stack up against James Gunn's Superman, and where does it sit in the zeitgeist alongside other Superman and superhero films? Is it really all that different from Gunn's take? Is it better? Will we be able to convince Mateo to do Snyder Month with us? Listen to find out!

    Tron: Legacy (2010) with Sebastian Georgiev and Laurence Barnes

    The Summer of Postscript continues as the fellas journey to everyone's favorite honeymoon spot, The Grid. In honor of Joseph Kosinski's F1, we take another look at Kosinski's debut, Tron: Legacy. After discussing what we felt was an exemplary legacy sequel last week in T2 Trainspotting, we examine one of the first proper legacy sequels of the 2010s, coming over half a decade before the wave that later came. Was this movie far more influential that we've given it credit? Does this movie actually have juice, or is that our fifth grade nostalgia speaking? How do you appraise the value of aura and hype moments in the year 2025? Are Chris Pine fans being properly fed? Come get digitized with us.

    T2 Trainspotting (2017) with Tommy and Jimmy Rosilio

    The Summer of Postscript has begun! With the release of the audacious 28 Years Later in June, we are kicking off this miniseries by heading back to Edinburgh with the Rosilio brothers to examine Danny Boyle's T2 Trainspotting. How did a sequel to the first Trainspotting even come to be? How does this film fare as a legacy sequel? Why does this movie handle nostalgia better than almost all of contemporaries? Is Danny Boyle the best digital filmmaker alive? Come join us as we begin our farewell to summer.

  4. Captain America: Civil War (2016) with Chance Freytag (+ "Brave New World" Discussion)

    10/03/2025

    Captain America: Civil War (2016) with Chance Freytag (+ "Brave New World" Discussion)

    To merely label this as a podcast episode about the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War would be both misrepresentative and deeply reductive of what these three and a half (3.5) hours hold. What once started as a bit to unethically force our dear friend Chance Freytag to rewatch Civil War and watch the newest MCU entry, Captain America: Brave New World, with us evolved into something much grander. From Moby Dick to Stalker (1979, dir. Tarkovsky) to what a movie actually is and the impact it can have on someone’s life, this episode is a sprawling piece of introspection and personal reckoning for Chris, Mateo, and Chance. This episode has more in common with an average telehealth appointment than a typical recorded MCU discussion. This release of this film was a pivotal moment in the moviegoing careers of all three of the fellas, and they reflect on everything that has transpired in the industry and their lives in film since. You don’t have to have even seen the film to listen to the pre watch to this ep (clocking in at ~1.5hr itself). Come join us.

    Red Rocket (2021) with Sebastian Griffin

    To continue the trend of covering this year's Oscar-nominated directors' previous features, Mateo, Chris, and Seb take a trip with Mikey Saber down to Galveston, TX to watch Sean Baker's (surprisngly underseen) Red Rocket. How does this one compare to Anora, which has now emerged as the clear frontrunner in the race? Why did people latch onto Anora but not Red Rocket? Was Simon Rex snubbed? Join us!

  6. Vox Lux (2018) with Ethan Page

    03/02/2025

    Vox Lux (2018) with Ethan Page

    With The Brutalist announcing itself as one of the films to beat this awards season, we examine director Brady Corbet's previous feature film, Vox Lux from 2018, starring Natalie Portman. To set the table for this relatively underseen movie, we thoroughly discuss the production, context, and intention of the film (2:03) before all watching it for the first time ourselves (35:17). Did Corbet always have the juice? How does this film function as a companion piece to another 2018 entry with a similar setting, A Star is Born? Why isn't Jude Law in every single movie? Come watch this movie with us!

  7. Top 5 Future Postscript Films from 2024

    07/01/2025

    Top 5 Future Postscript Films from 2024

    Mateo and Chris kick off the New Year by looking back at 2024 and assessing which released films are most likely to warrant an episode on the podcast 3+ years from now. What films will people sour on? What films will rise in our estimation? Did we miss any movies?

    Sunshine (2007) with Sebastian Georgiev

    The fellas load up on sunscreen as they take a trip directly into the sun to shine some light on Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's hugely underseen space film, Sunshine. Chris shares some lore on the production and botched release of the film, detailing why this movie fell so hard through the cracks before Mateo and Seb both watch it for the first time. Is this a true buried classic of 21st century sci-fi?
