📖🩸 Evil Dead Rise (2023)

In this week’s episode, we dissect the most recent entry in the franchise that moves the horror from the woods to an apartment building. This was my first time watching an Evil Dead film! Tune in to hear my thoughts!

I enjoyed this film! It wasn’t overly gory and quite funny at times.

Yes, it seems like this film tried to decrease their likelihood of being successful in several ways!

You’re not missing anything at all by skipping the full films.

I agree that bringing elements from the grid into the real world really diminished the cool factor. It’s like taking Star Wars stuff and dropping it into a modern city.

If you're interested in seeing Tron: Ares it's definitely a theater watch. Beautiful gowns! However, the movie would've been better served if it was mainly based in the grid(s).

I came out thinking Ares was a downgrade from Legacy. I think the technological advance from the original to Legacy was very impressive. No such leap is evident in Ares. But it’s only been 15 years.

“candy-colored influencer violence”

I love this phrasing! I feel this accurately describes this type of film.

This is the scene where I stopped watching this film TWICE!

I couldn’t remember why I never finished the movie so I decided to give it a shot a year ago.

When I saw that scene I immediately remembered how cringy it was and then I turned it off at the same point again! 😂

Enjoyable 80’s creature feature!

There were 28 years between Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010). Then 15 years between Legacy and Ares (2025).

At this rate, the next sequel will be released in about 7 years.

Naturally, it will ignore the plot and characters from Ares, as is Tron tradition.

Were you preparing for Tron: Ares?

Movie Postmortem Podcast @moviepostmortem.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, I don't know why I do this to myself! 😫
I need to mix in some good films to have a more balanced diet!

Movie Postmortem Podcast @moviepostmortem.bsky.social · 4d

Even though I'm not a big horror fan, I watch scary stuff in October. My essential list includes:

Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Witch
Beetlejuice

Movie Postmortem Podcast @moviepostmortem.bsky.social · 4d

I enjoyed the soundtrack! Listened to it immediately when I got home from beginning to end and then put it on again and drifted off to sleep while listening. I mean that as a positive. It’s more mellow than Legacy’s soundtrack. It’s like the soundtrack for The Social Network.

We are not doing an episode on Tron: Ares but I wanted to share some brief thoughts.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday My #LastFourWatched were a random assortment of bad films with Tron: Ares being the best of the bunch. 😅

This was one of the major points I brought up during our episode on Tron: Legacy. Tron was NEVER popular. Disney just keeps testing the waters with it because they own it.

mtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 5d

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

Movie Postmortem Podcast @moviepostmortem.bsky.social · 5d

I found this film to be very dull and uninteresting despite the potential of the premise.

I think M Night is a great dad because he’s allowing his daughters to live out their dreams in films he’s producing or directing, but as a filmgoer it’s just poor quality. 😬

I’ve only walked out of two movies.

1. Conan the Barbarian (2011) - It couldn’t hold my attention so I left.

2. Dune Part One - I’m used to long films, but time slowed down. Checked my watch, saw an hour left, knew it was a two parter, so I tapped out. Finished it at home when it hit streaming.

Despite Olivia Wilde looking the part of the bad-ass heroine in Tron: Legacy, the film quickly shifts her to a damsel in distress. One of the script stitch-ups we discussed with our guests from @vaguelynerdypod.bsky.social was changing a scene near the end when Quorra surrenders instead of fighting.

Absolutely loved this pick since I am a huge Godzilla fan!

I enjoy almost all the films in some way. It’s interesting to see the franchise evolve over time, but this film is still the one I revisit the most.

I remember suggesting it to a friend who watched it and was surprised it was so scary!

Movie Postmortem Podcast @moviepostmortem.bsky.social · 8d

I’m embarrassed because I haven’t bought mine yet. 😅

Once I decide on the format, I’ll get the ticket. Seems like it’s all large screen format and half of them are 3D. 🤔

Movie Postmortem Podcast @moviepostmortem.bsky.social · 8d

I’ve raved about Smile 2 before, so obviously that is a favorite.

Another favorite is Psycho 2. Surprisingly enjoyable for a legacy sequel.
