    Mortal Kombat (2021) - Get Over Here and Fix This Script
    Apr 29 2026

    In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we review Mortal Kombat (2021), the reboot that tried to deliver brutal fights and iconic fatalities from the popular fighting game it was based on, but was knocked out by poor decision making behind the scenes. We discuss the film’s biggest missteps, from the introduction of Cole Young as a bland audience surrogate to the baffling decision to skip the actual fighting tournament. Tune in to hear why we think this film is a Flawless Defeat when it comes to storytelling.

    Apr 22 2026

    In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we review Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023), the fantasy adventure that didn't do well at the box office, but captured the chaotic energy of a fun D&D campaign. We discuss why the humor works, the surprisingly heartfelt character moments, and what part reminded us of our real life family dynamic.

    We also offer our Script Stitch-Up to discuss what plot points could have been cut from film ... but you really should wait until Jarnathan finally arrives to hear those!

    Wreck-It Ralph (2012) - It's Hard Out Here for a Glitch
    Apr 15 2026

    In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we review Wreck-It Ralph (2012), the animated adventure that asks: what if the bad guy just… didn’t want to be the bad guy anymore? We share some memories from our time in arcades growing up, then dive into a fun discussion of the film.

    We talk about the nostalgia of seeing classic video game characters share the screen, the clever rules that govern how arcade worlds connect, and the heartwarming message of the film that makes Ralph and Vanellope’s friendship so moving.

    Tune in as we break down what worked, what didn't, and offer our Script Stitch-Ups for this film.
