In this episode, we are joined by the hosts of Final Girls Podcast to review 10 Cloverfield Lane, the bottle thriller about paranoia and control.

Together, we discuss Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s quietly brilliant protagonist, and how the movie utilizes uncertainty to keep both its characters and the audience guessing about what will come next! We also debate the controversial third act, the Cloverfield connection, and whether the genre shift enhances or undercuts the film’s strengths.

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, Reggie review's down Mercy (2026), a screen-life thriller that can’t quite decide what kind of movie it wants to be. Marketed as a cautionary AI tale, the film promises high-stakes techno-paranoia but morphs into a far more conventional action film.

I talk about why the screen-life format and AI angle feel unnecessary, how the story would function almost identically without them, and what really shocked me about the end of this film!

In this episode, we review Megamind. Released in a year packed with animation heavy-hitters, this clever superhero satire was largely forgotten despite great voice acting and a surprisingly thoughtful take on villains, heroes, and purpose.

We break down why Megamind works and why its release date may have doomed it commercially.
