This promo image features key artwork from Arrival on the left side. A massive, dark oval alien spacecraft hovers vertically over an open landscape at sunrise, with helicopters flying nearby. In the foreground are three main characters: a large close-up of Amy Adams looking upward with a thoughtful, concerned expression; Jeremy Renner standing slightly behind her, looking off to the side; and Forest Whitaker in military uniform in the lower foreground.

On the right side of the graphic, the title ARRIVAL appears in large, thin gray letters against a white background. At the top right, it reads SEASON 2 EPISODE 9 next to the circular Movie Postmortem logo. Along the bottom right, bold yellow text reads WITH SPECIAL GUESTS, and beside it is the logo for Based on a Book: A Book Club Podcast, featuring three women standing together under stylized pink lettering.

πŸ‘½β³ Arrival (2016) – Lost in Alien Translation

Language, loss, and aliens that look like giant hands. We’re joined by the hosts of the Based on a Book Podcast to discuss this adaptation of Ted Chiang’s novella Story of Your Life and how it compares to the original story.

This promo image for our podcast features artwork from Major Payne.

On the left, Damon Wayans as Major Payne leans in close with a wide, mischievous grin, wearing a drill sergeant campaign hat and camouflage uniform. In front of him stands a shocked young cadet in uniform, mouth open in alarm, with three other kids in military attire lined up behind him, reacting with nervous expressions. In the background is a stately school building set against a clear blue sky and a tree-lined lawn.

On the right side, the bold title MAJOR PAYNE appears in large yellow letters with a red outline. At the bottom center is the circular Movie Postmortem logo. In the bottom right corner, white text reads SEASON 2 EPISODE 8.

πŸ“šπŸͺ– Major Payne (1995) - Full Metal Jacket For Kids

We review Damon Wayans’ military-school comedy that mixes a tough Marine with kids in need of discipline. We discuss funny voices, how the film walks the line between slapstick and heartfelt, and what we liked about the final scene!

This promo image for our Movie Postmortem episode on Rush Hour.

On the left, Jackie Chan smiles confidently with one fist raised in a playful fighting pose, wearing a dark suit and red tie. On the right, Chris Tucker stands with arms folded, flashing a wide, charismatic grin in a sharp suit with a blue tie.

Behind them is a stylized city backdrop split into warm and cool tones: red neon lights glow on the left, suggesting Chinatown nightlife, while cooler blue urban buildings fill the right side, suggesting Los Angeles.

The bold, glossy red RUSH HOUR title dominates the center-right in large block letters with a white outline.

In the top right corner, text reads β€œSeason 2 Episode 7,”. In the bottom left corner sits the circular Movie Postmortem logo with film reel and scalpel imagery.

We enjoyed Crime 101 and felt it's worth a theater watch. Special shout out to the camera work and the sound design too. It looked good and sounded cool.

This image is an episode banner for my review of the film Crime 101 and features a four-panel collage of the film’s leads arranged side by side.

From left to right, the banner shows:
	β€’	Chris Hemsworth in a tense, shadowy close-up, staring forward with a hardened, focused expression.
	β€’	Mark Ruffalo wearing glasses and a mustache, leaning slightly forward with a thoughtful, investigative look.
	β€’	Halle Berry centered prominently, gazing off to the side with composed intensity, suggesting authority and poise.
	β€’	Barry Keoghan in profile, holding a phone near his mouth, conveying urgency and tension.

The color grading is cool and moody, reinforcing the crime thriller tone. In the lower right corner, the bold title β€œCRIME 101” appears in large distressed lettering, partially overlapping the final panel.

In the lower left corner sits the circular Movie Postmortem logo with the film reel and surgical tools motif, while the upper right corner reads β€œSeason 2 Episode 6” in bold block text.

πŸ’ŽπŸ›£οΈ Crime 101 (2026) - Heat Lite

This crime drama led by Chris Hemsworth is clearly inspired by Heat (1995), but does it set itself apart from that classic?

I review the film in this spoiler-free mini-episode and discuss whether this is worth a trip to the theater. Tune in!
