About this Episode

OptimusSolo, MovieRevolt, HardCandiMandi, and FridleyCent continue their exploration of video game adaptations with a look at Uwe Boll's 2007 film, Postal. The panel discusses the film's confusing narrative, offensive humor, and poor production value, ultimately comparing it to other entries in the genre. They also reflect on their experience trying to watch the movie and share their final thoughts on its quality.

Hi, I'm Phil Lamar, voice of Green Lantern and

Justice League, and you're listening to the Geekcast

Radio Network. Hello and welcome to another episode

of The Cinema Geeks. I am one of your Cinema

Geeks optimists, Solo, and joining me for today's

record is Miss Hard Candy Matey. hey dudes hey

dudette movie revolt dan sup um a lot and uh

also fridley sent hello sir hi and we are here

today for another episode of seven the geeks

going back to one of the series that we've been

doing and that would be the video game film series

so we're going back into the vault to find some

more films that are based on video games i I

guess we should just get right to it here. We're

talking about Postal today. And it's as hard

for me to introduce that as it was to press play

on the DVD player. Postal is another U .A. Bull

film that was released October 18, 2007 in Germany

and May of 2008 in the United States. And it's

directed, produced, written by U .A. Bull starring

Zach Ward, Dave Foley, JK Simmons makes an appearance,

Ben Troyer makes an appearance, as well as a

few other people as we may or may not get into,

I don't know. But before we get to the actual

film, and all of the details, Matt, have you

ever played Postal or Postal 2? Oh, man. So...

Kinda? I mean, not really. Okay. So... when postal

came out or sometime after postal came out me

and my my buddy Jimmy who is the guy who got

me into video games like for real like easy He's

the reason why I played as many games I have

and he was almost always the first one to get

into a game and get me into it He had a copy

of it that I don't know how he got or whatever

and we tried to install it and we couldn't get

it to run and back then like in the early 2000s

if you had a game from the mid 90s like Sometimes

there just wasn't a way to get it to run in your

system. If your computer was too new, you couldn't

run an old game. I do think recently I bought

a copy on good old games to play before this

because I have this like we shouldn't be watching

movies that no one's played. But like I like

what this movie doesn't is like the game doesn't

deserve to be played because of the movie. And

even I guess supposedly the creator of the of

the game. The character in this movie said that

the movie is a bastardization and ruining of

the game. I don't know if that's the real guy

because in pixels, they just said, hey, this

is a creator of Pac -Man, but it wasn't. It was

just some old Japanese dude that they just hired

to say was the creator of Pac -Man. So like an

uva bowl isn't as high class as Adam Sandler,

if you can believe it. So like that could. that

could just be some old white dude they paid to

say he created postal and then hated the game

and slash hated the movie or loved his game hated

the movie may sound in short no i haven't played

the game amanda have you played either of these

games no i haven't and normally after watching

um one of these video game um movie adaptations

and not have played the game i can kind of get

a feel for what the game was like even though

i didn't play the game with this i have no idea

what the point of this movie was and i still

have no idea what the point of the game was or

how it tied into the game whatsoever because

none of this made sense dan any experience with

the game no i i was so confused by this movie

i hate Went on YouTube just to watch video of

the because that's what kids do nowadays. They

watch people play video games So I just because

I'm like what how did this even like just to

get an understanding of what occurred? Like is

there a basis for any of this and there isn't?

But no, I've never played the game I but I did

like I said watch some clips on YouTube, which

it didn't it seemed kind of just like oh It's

crazy. It's like Grand Theft Auto, but not as

entertaining or well thought out. So interesting.

So you didn't enjoy watching people play the

game either? It was very, I mean, it's an older

game. The graphics were not great and just looked

like, oh, that was controversial, but not so

much, you know, it's yeah. So like nowadays,

I think it would just be people would not be

as if it came out today. People like that. We've

seen worse. Alright, well let's move on then

because I haven't played the game either, so

let's actually get into the nuts and bolts of

the actual movie since we don't have much to

base off of if it was a good adaptation of the

game or not. Let's just start with the movie

poster. How about that? The movie poster says,

Some comedies go too far... Others start there.

And then there's a quotation from I can't read

the actual magazine or the website that said

this the quotation is live -action South Park

Dan is that blasphemy? Yes by all means because

like To put this in the same campus South Park,

it's like someone who watched South Park, but

doesn't get the joke at all I feel like that

has to be said by someone that actually has never

watched South Park and they just think they know

what it's about because of something they've

heard or like they've seen a clip. You know what

I mean? Like it's one of those that just like

judged it immediately as oh this is crude and

it's rude and I guess that's how they're in the

same camp maybe in their mind. Yeah that was

like the person who did it like their kids watched

South Park and then they you know they heard

it in the background and like oh this is awful

and yeah this is not So we have we watch this

on DVD because we really have it Part of the

six pack of movies we will be offering up to

a winner at the end of this Session of going

through video game films most and that's probably

one of the motivations for why we're giving this

pack away So we can get this out of our house

They made DVDs of this movie Wow, so let me say

because I am assuming that you guys watch this

on YouTube or something of the like and so the

DVD has trailers, you know previews for other

movies and During those trailers it was becoming

more and more it was becoming more and more scary

that we were about to watch this film because

a lot of times you can base the quality of the

film slightly on the trailers that are included

in the DVD you can at least get a feel for like

production value or like just overall quality

and the trailers were downright scary so I was

it was real hard to hit play when it finally

got to the menu for for postal so I'll let you

guys go first though so initial thoughts on the

movie as a whole Let's start with Matt. What

did you think as far as Postal 1 as a movie?

Bad? Okay, so here's the thing, and I said this

to you guys about halfway into it. It feels like

a really shitty writer tried to make a more offensive,

more conservative leaning episode of like Key

and Peele or Mr. Show or Portlandia. Or it's

just like a bunch of Seemingly unconnected scenes

and then like one or two characters from the

from you know, like scene two and scene five

Meet up in scene seven and it just kind of flows

into its own overarching story But each scene

doesn't really connect hard to each other. It

just seems like hey, let's make it like, you

know Be a funny joke cult leader that doesn't

believe it. So that's this scene You know be

a funny joke if a guy's wife cheats on a bunch.

So that's the scene And then they just kind of

copied and pasted them together. And so it doesn't

work. We have to come clean about one thing,

first of all, and I guess we probably deserve

some sort of punishment when this whole thing

is over. Because Amanda and myself, we did not

get through the whole movie. So we owe you guys

something because that's the deal is we're supposed

to be watching all these films. It was a little

over halfway and we couldn't do it anymore. So

we actually did not finish the last, almost the

last half of this film. But saying that, before

Dan and Matt get a chance to tell us what kind

of punishment we deserve to do or have to do

or something like that, Amanda, what was your

thoughts of what we did see? Oh my gosh. If anybody

liked this, they are a sad excuse for a humanoid.

I'm pretty sure their knuckles are still dragging

the ground. They haven't been able to form speech

yet. And I don't know, I was offended by the

first scene in the movie. more than anything

else that I saw throughout, and that's saying

something. I don't really get offended, super

easy, especially if it's not like directly involving

me, but I was offended in this, and it wasn't

in a way that you can just kind of brush off

the way I felt about it, so I was a little pissed

off right away in the beginning, and it just,

it got worse and worse and worse, and just, wibble

needs to just not. Yeah, that is absolutely for

sure Dan what's your initial take on the quote

-unquote film? So I yeah, I so I will say like

the the latter half like it gets into what kind

of the game is like because it comes it becomes

this spoiler This gigantic like shootout where

I like Matt said none of it really makes any

sense but like then everyone starts killing each

other which is kind of like what postal is and

it's I don't know. It was like he was taking

the term going postal and using that. It was

a little bit ridiculous. This is like that kid

in high school that was like the class clown

that you kind of thought was funny. But when

you look back at it as an adult, you realize,

wow, that was really juvenile. If that kid directed

a movie that was written by that uncle that you

only see at Thanksgiving that watches way too

much Fox News and they made a movie. it would

be postal and it's it is so like i completely

understand being of like i i wasn't offended

by it just because it wanted me to be offended

by it so i was The thing about watching a movie

like Blundering or some of the other bad yoy

bull movies that we've seen You can at least

laugh at him, but it's hard to laugh at a bad

comedy because it's like no it just it just becomes

tedious because there's you can't laugh at it

because it's just so Bad it hurts you in the

inside Just like the running like so Much wrongness

like there's this, you know, the of these did

you guys see that? I don't know if he got to

the point whether these two old guys that have

the most creepy conversations I've ever heard

in my life talking about like is like I hope

she comes back that one Yeah, like the they're

like sexual conversations about like all these

women and they're just so just gross and like

and those are like JK Simmons is in this movie

Why Oscar winner? JK Simmons in this movie Dave

Foley like who was in? Kids in the Hall, one

of the best sketch comedies of the 90s. A very

fucking guy. You just see the soul of his body

just escaping with every passing moment. And

you can tell it's like, this is where I'm at.

This movie. Man. And I did not expect to see

Dave Foley naked. That was not on my, that was

not expected watching this movie on YouTube.

But you can, so there's that. Yeah, it's not

good. Yeah. Man, I'm picturing someone on a stand

-up stage, a stand -up comedian, or an improv

or whatever. This would be... If you were on

stage and you were trying to make the jokes that

this movie is trying to make, it would be a completely

silent room. You'd get booed off the stage at

some point. You're gonna get your ass kicked

in the parking lot later. That's how bad this

was. But I'm just saying, like, nobody would

find the jokes on this funny if you were, like,

trying to say them as, like, a stand -up joke

or, like, you know, tell someone this joke or

that joke. Like, when you're going over, like,

the scenes or the script or whatever, like, there's

no chance that anybody in that room found any

of it funny outside of you at Bull. Like... Who

appears in the movie, by the way. Like, you actually

have a scene... That's meant to be kind of fun.

I don't which wasn't funny. Yeah Well here, I'll

give you a little insight into I guess some behind

-the -scenes for those that haven't looked this

up yet. But you know there was a previous script

to this film. Apparently it was a little darker,

more gritty, supposed to be more towards... There

was a script. More based on I guess the game

of some sort, maybe the second game I guess.

But Boll specifically did not want anything like

that. He wanted it to be a comedy. And... This

is what he's basically going for. He wanted it

to be revenge against people who have protested

or disliked his previous movies. So the Taliban

has come against his movies? No, like you like

they're not all bad Like he wanted like all the

people that said like your movies bad because

of this or your movies bad because of that like

this was his like Middle finger to those people

like I'm gonna do all that and I'm gonna do it

even more and maybe she just do a good fucking

movie I Mean this is who which group which group

in the world is Not offended or would not be

offended at least at some point during this film

like they leave no group untouched Like I don't

know whether it's women whether it's different

races, whether it's different, you know types

of people whether it's a priest whether it's

You know handicapped whether it's Victims of

the Holocaust. I mean they do not leave any group

untouched and it's it's like Remarkable that

they somehow fit in every single Offensive thing

that they did during this film I agree with Dan

to a point like you can't really be offended

because it's just so dumb that it's like it's

almost No, I think you could be I just I won't

be offended by it because it's so trying to get

me offended It's like now I'm not gonna play

your game. It's right You know Chinese african

-american 9 -eleven overweight individuals the

police like they they go after every single group

and it's On you know, it's relentless and the

scene with with bowl and and the quote -unquote

You know maker or creator of the game if that

was him. I didn't look it up. It's just awful

like it's just It's like the worst kind of breaking

the fourth wall ever and He's not clever. So

I this movie the budget for this movie was 15

million dollars So, I don't know who made who

got that money I don't know if that's what it

cost to get JK Simmons day fully and Vern Troyer

involved but it cost $15 million. The movie worldwide

made $146 ,000. More than it should. More than

it should, but not even close to, I mean, that's

a disastrous amount of box office compared to

the budget. Less than $200 ,000 on a $15 million

budget. Who even wanted this movie? Nobody. Nobody.

And I guess even Foley was going up to UA Bull

and trying to get him to take some of the offensive

stuff out because he was like, no screens, no

theaters are going to show this if you leave

all of this stuff in. And it definitely did not.

I think, I don't know what max was. If it wasn't

like number of screens, probably 50. I don't

know. I guess. Screens. Here we go. Distributors

pulled out of their deal for a wide release of

1 ,500 screens to a limited release of four screens.

I guess he just came after, like, the theaters

and was saying that, you know, quoting censorship

and, you know, all this other stuff, et cetera,

et cetera, et cetera. But, yeah, and he had a

whole campaign trying to make fun of Indiana

Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because

they opened one day apart from each other. Including

Verne Troyer dressing up as Indiana Jones and

proclaiming postal superiority to that movie

So that worked out well. Yeah Approval rating

currently guys. It actually has a 7 % on Rotten

Tomatoes Three people have written positive reviews

Now, just in case you want to know where to avoid

going, and I don't know what this place is, but

there is apparently a website or a blog or a

review place that's called Newsblaze. N -E -W

-S -B -L -A -Z -E. Two of the three positive

reviews come from that source. Two different

people writing for that site or that blog or

that whatever. I'm not familiar with what Newsblaze

is, but apparently two of those people were two

of the three positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

So there's probably three 15 year old boys who

have very limited interaction with people sitting

in basement somewhere watching this movie. The

other one came from a place called Film Threat.

So three positive reviews out of like 50 or something

like that that Rotten Tomatoes has had. Any specific

moments Matt that you want to point out things

that was anything you liked about the film? So

there are a number of things where I could be

like I can see where they're going with that

Like but Don't know man like I like Dave Foley.

He's hilarious. I mean not in this movie But

in other things he's great like most things he's

great Like I don't have anything nice to say

about this movie um like At all I can't follow

the logic of it. I can't do anything like It

doesn't it doesn't paint anyone in a good light,

which I guess is kind of the point but like including

the director Yeah, I Just I don't have anything

to say in his scene I I didn't rewind it to to

watch back what he actually says because that

would have been a crime against humanity to rewind

any part of this film and watch it a second time

but is does he utter a line of some sort that

says That he gets horny when there's a crowd

with children in it Yeah, that's exactly the

words he yes Yeah, I just What? Like I I don't

I don't get it. Okay This movie is like just

to like point out the kind of bad comedy that

they're going for like the the whole George Bush

and like what regardless of what you think about

George Bush and whatever like You know me and

spelling like that's not a funny joke like but

that like That's the easiest like pull you could

possibly make and it took it's not like you're

clever to say something like that So I don't

know I just and that's like one of the least

Bad that's where it doesn't fit with the South

Park Camp because South Park really is intelligent.

It might have fart jokes and stuff, but they

do do their homework and and they they speak

to some things that's going on in society in

our world they don't just make these haha family

guy jokes you know what i mean it's like it's

even worse than that worse than a family guy

joke but like yeah he he says something about

being horny with a crowd with children and then

files that up with a scene in which only children

are being shot like i don't know how long that

takes but like it's literally like a two or three

minute sequence where we just get to see like

a dozen children shot and killed. Dan, anything

positive that you can think of at all for postal?

I don't have to watch it again. That is a very

positive. Amanda, you have other notes that you

want to bring up here? All my notes are really

awful. JK Simmons, what you thinking? Is that

the dude from The Mummy? Everyone is so stereotypical

throughout this, it's not even cute. This entire

movie is pointless. Uwe Boll might be the worst

person in the world. These are notes that are

coming to your mind as you watch. This is the

most useless piece of shit I've ever been forced

to view. And then, uh, shooting of children.

That's what I have. And then I stopped. So, go

ahead Matt. So you guys quit watching it before

Vern Troyer got raped to death by chimps then?

Oh my god. Yeah, we missed that. Thank you for

stopping this movie. I just kept looking over

at it. I was getting judged so hard for not stopping

the movie. Like she was like, I was like, the

longer I let this play, somehow this is reflecting

on me, I guess. So I'm like, I can't do it any

longer. She's like burning holes, you know, holes

into me with her eyes. They were like taking

off from stealing the crotchie dolls with Vern

Troyer. It was right after all the children get

shot. Yeah. and they were taken off with the

dials. The one thing I wrote down that I haven't,

this makes you appreciate how hard making a movie

is. Not saying that they were putting any type

of effort forward here or that they were, but

it just shows all the different things that can

make a movie look so bad, can make it sound so

bad, can make it do whatever. Even when you watch

a film that's, quote unquote, maybe bad in your

opinion, that still you know made on somewhat

of a professional level like there's an art to

that like there's a skill set to making a movie

look professional and this is be this is something

that somebody could have made on on youtube i

would feel like or just like on their you know

whatever their handheld camera and it could have

been the same quality level so uh yeah this is

uh somewhat painful um anybody else have any

i don't want to give this too much more time

Just thinking back to the scene where like the

the police officer the police officer gets out

of his car and Just like shoots the like Asian

lady that's turning like like that. There's no

joke there There's like no there's like nothing

Even like remotely like what is that even commenting

on I guess that's what I don't get don't drive

and People shoot that like that doesn't you're

trying No, I wasn't saying you're trying too

hard, but you're not trying too hard. It's not

a political satire. If you're not satirizing

anything, what is that commenting on? A bunch

of this stuff you're talking about, what is it

commenting on? What is the stance that he is

taking? What's the point of killing 12 children

in a row? What's the point of shooting the Asian

lady who's not going on a green light? It's it's

a police officer to shooting for no reason but

like even when you're doing stuff on 9 -eleven

like, okay So there's a political thing or there's

a not necessarily political thing but stuff that

holds some political connotation Like what commentary

are you making on that that you're making a joke

out of that whole thing? Like I don't understand

I was the most offended about was the 9 -eleven

stuff. I Just I guess I just don't get what commentary

he's making on most of these things Like, Matt,

did you find anything, any of the jokes that

had some type of... You said you could see maybe

some of the things like, oh, I see where you're

going with this. Honestly, I think that the first

joke of like, why would you do it? What are they

in it for? Had some potential to be written into

a good joke. Definitely, I think that's the most

key and peel -like vein, but... Yeah, I don't

know just it's just inappropriate and trying

to be offensive and I think I'm with Dan where

it's like I I can't be offensive because it's

not smart enough Yeah, I'm with you on that luckily

guys there there was a sequel in the works but

but back in 2013 bowl announced he was funding

production of postal to through a Kickstarter,

but then it was cancelled like less than two

months later because of a lack of funding. First

Kickstarter to lose money. So there's that. We

at least have that to tide us over that there's

not going to be another one of these. Man, let's

do some grades and final thoughts all the way

around the horn here. Amanda, what kind of grade

would you give Postal and anything you didn't

get to spit out there about it? I have nothing

else to say about this crap. But, uh, Gray, can

I give it a zero? Can I give it a negative something?

Because I don't feel like any negative number

would be good enough, so just zero. Okay, zero

from Amanda. Matt, final thoughts on Gray? Uh,

man, I'll give it a what? A two? I'll give it

a two, because I think it could have been worse.

Like, at least the camera was... I think the

camera was steady in most of the scenes. Like

it had some actors that that like though the

the material is terrible They seemed to at least

try a little bit like it could it could have

gone like I don't like any of the content I don't

think it really hit on any of the places. It's

supposed to hit but like it was still watchable

So I'm gonna give it a two I did. Yeah, it's

watchable. It's not enjoyable, but it's watchable.

I can't agree with that since we didn't get to

watch the whole thing, so I found it unwatchable.

I'm with Amanda. I give this a zero. Whatever

the lowest score that you can give in this gradient

scale, I give it. Because we have seen a lot

of bad video game films, and I was not expecting

one to come along that was by far the worst thing

that we've seen. Like, this is... Leaps and bounds

somehow worse than the garbage that we have sat

through like this is the worst film That we've

seen in this video series. This may be the worst

thing I've ever seen in my life. This makes room

look great So and and whatever other films I

haven't seen what is it that what does the other

film that everyone always says? It's like the

worst film of all time. Sure. What is roll troll

to you? Yeah, so I'm actually I'm gonna go watch

troll to to see if postal might beat it as the

worst film ever Dan What do you think? Hadn't

like a seven No, it's it's a zero for me too

it just it's in Probably the worst movie I've

ever seen Not even have been hyperbolic because

it was like it was a gonna be you able movie

something and now it's definitely this one and

Yeah, like at least like I said at least some

of those bad movies like a Like a blood rain

or trouble to or room like you can get some ironic

humor out of it or enjoyment this one that you

can't there's like nothing It's you know, it's

like being stuck with Someone who's not funny,

but you're on a flight and they won't stop talking

so you can't move at all. So It's just not good

Yeah That's my quote for it, not good. I like

that. Amanda, is this the worst film we've seen

in the series for you two? Oh, by far. Is it

the worst film you've ever seen? Oh, yes. Yes,

it is. So that's maybe three votes, and we're

not being hyperbolic. Like Dan said, we're being

honest. We've seen a lot of movies. We've seen

a lot of bad movies. I would have to think long

and hard to think of something that I thought

was worse than this. Matt? I missed Dead or Alive.

Like watching this, I'm like, that was so much

better than Game of Credit 4. Let's go back and

re -score a couple of these films that we scored

earlier on. Matt, is it the worst for you of

the video game series or is there something that

was worse? Because you gave it a two. I think

you might have given a one out at some point,

didn't you? or I don't know. Oh no, I feel like

one is a functionally broken movie. This one

at least has elements of movie -dom. And if I

did, then I'll re -correct this to zero. This

is definitely the worst video game movie I've

ever seen, including movies I haven't watched

for this series, because there are some of those.

And yeah, I think it might be one of the worst

movies I've ever seen. I have seen other movies

that were like independent films that, like I

said, were functionally broken. There's a lack

of logic and camera work that's just unwatchable.

And I think those might be a little worse. But

this is definitely the worst high budget. If

you're talking about a movie in the millions

of dollars, this is probably the worst that's

ever been made. I think that's a good stat there.

It's something that's at least at a budget of

one million or more because you can't count the

stuff that's less than that because they're not

dealing with much there. I agree. One of the

most disturbing things though, you had sent a

link on our Twitter messaging or something of

the fact that you were watching this on YouTube.

Did you guys read any of the comments on the

YouTube video page? Was afraid to so now they

are I tried to I tried to avoid YouTube comments

to begin this usually as a real fun And this

is why this is the definition of why you should

avoid YouTube comments the comments under the

movie on YouTube are overwhelmingly positive

Like overwhelmingly positive about this it's

good like maybe it's a scar sarcasm There was

like genuine people I feel that were saying that

they liked the film Maybe I was just reading

it too quickly But it seemed like there was a

lot of actual like people were saying people

said this movie was garbage And I don't see what

they're talking about or people will say this

is bad And I think it's hilarious like it is

not a good thing to read whether it's sarcastic

tongue -in -cheek or whatever I like read like

ten comments. I had to stop. I was like I can't

continue to subject myself to this So, do yourself

a favor and avoid YouTube comments like Dan said.

Alright, so that is it for Postal, that is our

15th video game film that we have reviewed. We're

getting closer guys, there's only 22 total, so

this is number 15. So we have 5 from the rest

of the 2000 before last year and then we have

the 2 that came out last year that we hadn't

had a chance to talk about yet. So next up on

our video game series is going to be Hitman.

Also came out in 2007, the same year as Postal.

Amanda, you commented first, so what's your excitement

level for Hitman, and have you seen it before?

Pretty friggin' excited. Yes, I've seen it before.

I own it. I really like this character. I've

not got to play the game, though. I don't know

why. I fell off of video games for a little while.

And this is during that time period, for sure,

and I think that... I want to go like rent it

or something, since now that I've seen the movie

and I've got a vibe for it, I'd like to play

the game maybe, so we'll see what we can do there.

Matt, have you seen Hitman? I have not seen the

movie. I've played a bunch of the games, like

a lot of the games, but not the movie. Are you

looking forward to watching Hitman? No, I've

heard a lot of bad, bad things. No, it's fun.

To give a quick rundown, Dan, of the final seven

films we have for people that are keeping track,

we have Hitman and The Name of the King, a Dungeon

Siege tale. Max Payne, Prince of Persia, The

Sands of Time, Need for Speed, Warcraft, and

Assassin's Creed. Where does Hitman rank amongst

those final seven on your excitement scale? Excitement

scale? I think you're kind of overshooting it

already. I kind of do want to see Prince of Persia,

and I've already seen Max Payne in theaters.

And Warcraft So I probably I like Timothy all

fan like I'm a big fan of him So that has me

someone intrigued and I'm interested about Prince

of Persia because I've heard like I've heard

more positive things about that the most more

so than any other Comic or? Video game movie

that I've that has come out so that one. I'm

somewhat interested in but yeah So I would say

second, I guess. For the record, I've also heard

good things about Need for Speed from a few people.

Anyway. Wait, wait, wait. Is TMG -1 Mike multiple

people now? No. Yeah, you brought up an interesting

point there, Dan. I wonder how many of these

films any of us have actually seen in a movie

theater. Because I'm looking back at the 15 films

that we've already covered. And I did not see

any of them in the movie theater. I think the

only one in this entire list of video game films

that I saw in the theater would have been Warcraft

and Assassin's Creed from last year. Amanda,

did you see any of these in the movie theater?

Oh, you're asking... The wrong person with the

wrong memory? Yeah. Maybe Silent Hill. Definitely

the two most recent ones. Okay. Dan, is Max Payne

the only one you saw in the theater? Yep. And

I saw a lot of the Resident Evil movies in the

theater. And I saw Doom in the theater. Okay,

there we go. A couple of them there. Matt, have

you seen any of the video game films in theater?

Any of the upcoming ones? Any of the ones we

covered at all? Maybe not. Yeah, I haven't outside

the two that were just from last year, so It's

interesting I wonder how many people in the world

have seen a majority of the video game films

actually on the big screen because it seems like

something that most people would not Go to the

theater for like unless it's something that they

just really played a lot like this these like

Scream like rental or free movie or something

like that if you're gonna check them out So if

you did like postal though, please go to the

website and explain to us The website is geek

Geekcast, www .geekcastradio .com. Just look

for the Cinema Geek post on postal and then you

can click on that in the comment section. You

can write a comment, we'll reply, we'll respond,

we'll engage in an interaction of a conversation.

I'm just trying to throw words together that

don't make sense like the movie. We can also

interact with you on Twitter. The show handle

there is at Cinema Geekcast, which a lot of people

think that's our actual podcast name, but it

is just the Cinema Geeks. Amanda, what's your

Twitter? At Hard Candy Mandy, I's no Y's. Dan,

what about your Twitter? At Movie Revolt. And

Matt? I'm Afrid Lison. And I'm at Optimus Solo.

So if you're enjoying the video game series,

one other thing that we would ask you to do,

go to iTunes and submit a review of The Cinema

Geeks. If you do that, before we get to Assassin's

Creed... then we will enter your name into a

drawing to win a six pack of movies that, yes,

you guessed it, does include the one we just

reviewed. You can have your very own DVD of Postol.

So get those iTunes reviews in before it's too

late. All right, that's it for us for this week.

Tune in next week for another chance to listen

to The Cinema Geeks.
