No, one of the crew members who was revealed to be something we didn’t expect.

To me that always stood out as a huge twist because it comes out of nowhere! Probably safe to spoil since it been so long! 😄

Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street) A close-up of a teenage girl with thick, curly brown hair and blue eyes. She wears a soft pink sweater and rests her hand near her face as she looks off to the side with a worried, alert expression.

Crystal (The Hunt) A close-up of a blonde woman with her hair pulled back, standing near the open trunk of a car. She wears a light blue long-sleeve shirt. Her expression is stern and focused, lips pressed together and eyes steady, conveying toughness and control.

Great choices!

My favorites are Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street and Crystal from The Hunt!

Alien

The twist I’m referring to has nothing to do with the alien.

“Dam funny”

This poster for Eden features a muted green and gray color palette that gives it a somber, foreboding tone. At the top, it reads “A Ron Howard Film.” Beneath that are the lead cast names: Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Brühl, and Sydney Sweeney. The title EDEN dominates the center in huge block letters. Each letter frames a close-up portrait of one of the main characters, all looking tense and troubled. Their expressions range from anxious to wary, with windswept hair and soft, natural lighting that suggests an isolated outdoor setting. Below the title is the tagline: “Inspired by the accounts of those who survived.” Two critic quotes appear underneath, including: • “A thriller from top to bottom” • “A carnival of manipulation and violence” At the bottom of the poster, a haunting image shows a body lying partially buried in sand on a desolate beach, with dunes and sparse grass in the background. The shoreline stretches out under a pale sky, reinforcing the film’s bleak and survival-driven atmosphere. The release date “Only in Theaters August 22” appears at the bottom.

Tough year so far, so I don’t know if I can say I have any true gems.

Closest is Eden. 3.5/5 for me but entertaining.

Then the announcers just go with it.

“This is Emma’s third Oscar and she becomes the first actress to win two Oscars for the same performance.” 😂

This screenshot shows a close-up of an Oscars winner card being held up onstage. The white card has “OSCARS” printed at the top. In the center, it reads: EMMA STONE “LA LA LAND” At the bottom, in smaller text, it says Best Actress. A presenter’s hand is visible holding the card from the side, with a gold ring on one finger. The background is softly blurred with warm stage lighting, indicating the live ceremony setting. This is the Best Actress card that was mistakenly handed to the Best Picture presenters, leading to the confusion when La La Land was incorrectly announced as the Best Picture winner.

I agree, but it would be funny if another mistake happened 😄

If we’re counting tv, then it’s the cobra commander! Every loss was always somehow not his fault!

Fragility is a really good film because everything from the overall tone to the performances (especially Paxton) give it a sense of pressure building. It keeps you captivated but also worried about what will come next.

Rachel’s opening skit had a better reveal than the film! 😄

“It kept me awake … for most of it” would be a hilarious quote to use for a commercial for the film! 😂

Jurassic World: Refund

open.spotify.com/episode/5K93...

This promo image is for our Movie Postmortem episode on Jurassic World: Rebirth. On the left, three characters stand waist-deep in dark red water, looking tense and alert. The central figure, a woman holding a rifle, faces forward with a determined expression. Flanking her are two men - one gesturing outward as if warning of danger, the other looking off to the side with concern. Looming behind them in the red haze is a massive monster silhouette with glowing eyes and sharp teeth, creating a sense of immediate threat. On the right side, the classic gold-and-black Jurassic World logo appears, with the subtitle Rebirth beneath it. At the bottom center is the circular Movie Postmortem logo. In the lower right corner, bold white text reads Season 1 Episode 33.

ICYMI: Here’s our episode on Jurassic World: Rebirth from last year. I’m seeing a lot of people commenting on how bad it is since it’s streaming now.

Unfortunately, we saw it in the theater last year and one of us really wanted a refund! 😅

Hopefully Takedown, my favorite! 😄Sounds like an interesting event.

Great choice! Everything in that film is painfully realistic! Toni Collette’s reaction 😖

Children of the Corn breaks the rules but I’ll allow it because it’s good and it keeps getting remakes and sequels! 😅

You just made me realize that I’m not sure I have seen any films that fall under that genre. 🤔
