  • Episode 135: Elves (1989)

    Ho-ho-ho! It's another year of axe-mas episodes 'PostMortem' has lined up for you all, and what better way than to start with a classic romp of schlock! From director Jeff Mandel, a tale of a down on his luck Santa taking on an elf who wants to mate with a woman because of a diabolical plan to make superior beings - wait, what???? From 1989, "ELVES", starring Dan "Grizzly Adams" Haggerty. Also on the show this week, an unscripted opinion piece on three shows worth talking about: from SyFy and USA, "CHUCKY"...from Disney+, "ANDOR"...and from Netflix and the mind of Tim Burton, "WEDNESDAY". Nothing like an elf, a killer doll and a deadpan goth girl to get everyone into the holiday spirit, right?

  • Episode 127: Prey (2022)

    Not often does a movie come along where it's briefly mentioned on one episode, only to be given a full review treatment the next episode. But with Dan Trachtenberg's latest film, PREY, that is the case here. Also on this episode, 'PostMortem' Paul gives a quick, spoiler free review on the Netflix series THE SANDMAN, as well as two recently released films, DAY SHIFT and GLORIOUS. There may also be traces of incoherent babbling and lost-story thought processions, but that's nothing new when it comes to this show - now is it?

  • Episode 121: Transylvania 6-5000 (1985)

    The theme to this week's episode: stop whining and have some fun! Remember the days when we just enjoyed movies? Bad or good, we just wanted to have a laugh or a scare, and no matter how feasible or unrealistic something was in a movie, we didn't care. We just wanted to have fun. We need to go back to that. Stop being hateful critics and just enjoy the art of cinema again. This week's lineup of topics involves two films that have been on the receiving end of the hate; 2022's MORBIUS and the featured movie review of the week, TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000 (from 1985). Also this week, blurbs about the newest addition of horror channels to the streaming world...and another attempt at a...Crow remake? Again? Will this one stick? I guess only time will tell.
