This promo image is for our Movie Postmortem episode on Jingle All the Way. The background features the iconic image of Arnold Schwarzenegger as frantic dad Howard Langston, wide-eyed and panicked with his hands raised in exasperation. Behind him stands a fully decorated Christmas tree, emphasizing the festive season that drives the plot. The film’s title, Jingle All The Way, appears across the bottom center in classic Christmas red, green, and white lettering. In the upper left corner is our podcast’s logo: scalpel, tweezers, syringe, and film reel On the right side, text reads SEASON 1, EPISODE 54.

What’s a film you watched way too young? 🎥

I’ve discussed on our podcast before that as a child of the 80s I probably saw every major slasher film by the time I was in second grade! It was a different time! 😅

They never scared me though. The film that gave me nightmares was Godzilla 1985!

📞 “What’s your favorite Christmas movie?”

Yes, that’s Drew Barrymore in Babes in Toyland! Before Scream, she was taking much more wholesome calls.

This 1986 TV movie is basically a bargain-bin Wizard of Oz: swap Kansas with Cincinnati, the tornado with a blizzard and add Keanu Reeves!
This image shows a young Drew Barrymore in Babes in Toyland (1986). She’s sitting indoors, holding a chunky white corded telephone to her ear. Drew has long, wavy blond hair that frames her face, and she’s wearing a red top under denim overalls. Her expression is soft and thoughtful, as if she’s listening closely or quietly smiling at whoever’s on the other end of the line. The cozy lighting and vintage textures complete the classic made-for-TV movie vibe.

In our episode on Jingle All the Way, we discuss how Howard and Myron committed so many crimes that both should be in jail by the end of the film!

Assault, theft, bomb threat, property damage, impersonating an officer, terrorism, and giving a reindeer alcohol!

All for ONE toy.

#JingleAllTheWay
This image is from Jingle All the Way, capturing the two leads on a street decorated for Christmas. On the left is Sinbad as Myron, an overworked, conspiracy-spouting mailman who treats the hunt for a Turbo Man doll like a contact sport. He’s bundled up in a blue postal coat and a furry winter hat, gesturing animatedly as he rants about the chaos around them. On the right stands Arnold Schwarzenegger as Howard Langston, a frazzled suburban dad whose determination to get his son the season’s must-have toy has pushed him into full panic mode. His expression says everything: equal parts suspicion, frustration, and disbelief at whatever Myron is currently monologuing about.

🎄💪🏻

🎉 Celebration: Arnold’s self-deprecating humor, Sinbad’s improv, Phil Hartman

💀 Death: parade absurdity, wife subplot, too-cartoonish finale

🧵 Stitch-Up: ditch parade fight and flight, more grounded in store chaos

Just wanted to point out how good the line “thou canst do nothing save cut wood” is in The Witch.

It’s the perfect insult for a man whose pile of firewood is part of his illusion of control. It grows as the film goes on. He builds a monument to his own failure. 🪓🪵🐐

#TheWitch #FilmSky #HorrorSky
This image captures one of the most emotionally charged moments in The Witch (2015). Anya Taylor-Joy, as Thomasin, is shown mid-shout, her face contorted with anger, frustration, and months of suppressed resentment finally spilling out. She’s looking up at her father with tear-rimmed eyes and bared teeth, delivering the line that cuts deeper than any blade: “Thou canst do nothing save cut wood!” The cold, gray New England wilderness behind her only heightens the tension: harsh, bleak, and unforgiving, just like the family’s situation. Thomasin’s white cap and simple clothing contrast with the raw emotion on her face, making the outburst even more striking. It’s a rare moment where her desperation boils over into defiance, and she strikes at her father’s greatest insecurity: his utter failure to provide or protect.

“I don’t even want to be around anymore” 😂

I think the best thing about Wicked: For Good is the meme potential!

#IThinkYouShouldLeave
An actor getting ready to portray the scarecrow in Wicked: For Good. A tan and brown scarecrow mask is being fitted over his head. The lifeless mask and empty eyes make it easy to imagine the actor having second thoughts about this process. Still image from a scene in the sketch comedy show “I Think You Should Leave” where Tim Robinson portrays an actor wearing heavy prosthetic makeup having an existential crisis. His mouth agape and he stares blankly ahead while saying , “I don’t even want to be around anymore”, matches the expression of the scarecrow actor of the other image.

I remember this summer! I had seen Batman Returns and lots of my friends had seen Boomerang even though it was R Rated! They were repeating lines from that movie for months! 😄

Burke from Aliens is the top movie bastard to me.

Paul Reiser was so good in this role that I never trusted any character he portrayed after this! 😄
This image shows Paul Reiser as Carter J. Burke from Aliens (1986), captured in one of his signature wide-eyed, nervous, deceptively harmless expressions. He’s wearing a gray suit with a red tie, leaning slightly forward as if he’s trying to seem earnest and trustworthy. In the pantheon of movie villains, Burke stands out because he isn’t a warrior, a monster, or a space tyrant. He’s just a guy in a suit who will absolutely get you killed through paperwork, loopholes, and moral bankruptcy. That makes him even worse than the xenomorph!

Happy Black Phillip Friday!

Fun fact: Charlie, the goat who played Black Phillip, was so unruly that he actually hurt Ralph Ineson. Truly committed to the role! 🐐

He only appeared in one other film - It Comes at Night (2017), also from A24.

The standout from my #LastFourWatched was Sisu: Road to Revenge. I went in completely blind. I hadn’t seen any trailers or clips, so every over-the-top moment was a blast to experience fresh. 😄

Nothing says Thanksgiving like Puritans silently judging you.

May your meal be delicious, your goat well-behaved, and may no one get banished from dinner for “prideful thoughts.”

🦃 🐐🧈
#TheWitch #Thanksgiving #MovieSky #HorrorSky #TheVVITCH
A group of somber Puritans from The Witch (2015) stand indoors, dressed in dark 1600s clothing with wide-brimmed hats and white collars. They’re staring straight ahead with serious expressions, giving the impression of stern judgment and strict formality.

🐐🧈The Witch (2015) - Black Phillip Friday [Thanksgiving episode]

We review the Puritan horror folktale to show why family tension, religious debates, and a very unruly goat make this a perfect Thanksgiving film! Plus, we discuss the harshest insult a man can get! 🪓

#TheWitch #MovieSky #FilmSky
This infographic promotes the newest episode of our podcast and uses an image from The VVitch (2015) as its backdrop. The image shows Anya Taylor-Joy as Thomasin, centered in frame, her face lit softly against the shadowy Puritan setting behind her. She wears her wide-brimmed bonnet and white collar, giving the image an eerie, somber tone. The movie’s stylized title, “THE VVITCH,” is overlaid prominently across the middle in distressed serif font. In the upper left corner is the Movie Postmortem logo, complete with the film reel, scissors, forceps, and syringe icons. On the right side, bold beige text reads: SEASON 1 EPISODE 53

My #LastFourWatched were very different this week! The highlight was Eddington! Happy #LetterBoxdFriday
A “Recent Activity” screenshot from Letterboxd displays four movie posters in a horizontal row, each with my star rating beneath it. From left to right: 1. Wicked for Good - The poster shows Glinda in a glowing bubble on the left and Elphaba flying on her broom on the right, against a swirling green and pink sky over the Yellow Brick Road. Rating: 2½ stars. 2. Now You See Me: Now You Don’t - A stylized, Escher-like blue maze of staircases with the ensemble cast standing or hanging upside down on different steps. Rating: 3 stars. 3. Eddington - A stark black-and-white image of buffalo precariously running down a steep cliff. Rating: 3½ stars. 4. American Made - Tom Cruise walks forward holding a duffel bag with money spilling out, backed by an orange-striped design and a small plane. Rating: 3½ stars.

We won’t be doing an episode on Wicked: For Good but here are my brief thoughts.

For the record, I rated the first film 4/5 stars and saw it twice in the theater.

#Wicked #WickedForGood #MovieSky #FilmSky
This infographic presents a movie review for Wicked: For Good, pairing the film’s poster on the left with a concise, text-based critique on the right. The poster features the main cast (Glinda, Elphaba, Fiyero, and others) set against a vibrant fantasy backdrop with the yellow brick road stretching into Oz. Beneath the poster is the Movie Postmortem logo, the show’s Bluesky handle, and a bold red “Subscribe Now” button. On the right, the review text gives the film a mixed assessment: the sequel is described as less magical and more uneven, with strong lead performances but a rushed plot and underwhelming new songs. It notes that Dorothy’s storyline feels underdeveloped, concluding that the movie isn’t terrible, just “far from wonderful.” At the bottom right, the star-rating section shows Reggie’s score: 2.5 out of 5 stars.

These will make sense after you see the film! 😄

#Wicked #WickedForGood
This infographic is my “Spoilers Out of Context” teaser for Wicked: For Good. At the top, bold purple text announces the theme, with a small circular image of the movie poster tucked into the upper-right corner. The central four-panel collage shows: • Top left: two competitors in an over-the-top slap-fighting match, caught mid-impact. • Top right: an old black-and-white portrait of Harriet Tubman, calm and dignified. • Bottom left: a dramatic lightsaber duel, blue and fiery against a dark backdrop. • Bottom right: a close-up photo of Ryan Reynolds, smirking ever so slightly. None of these things should logically relate to Wicked: For Good, and yet, after you see the movie, they absolutely will. At the bottom, the Movie Postmortem logo appears alongside bold text reading “IN THEATERS NOW”, plus the podcast’s Bluesky handle.
