Movie Postmortem is where films of all kinds meet the scalpel. Whether it’s a masterpiece, a flop, or a guilty pleasure you just can’t quit, we’re here to dissect what worked, what didn’t, and why we keep coming back for more. Hosted by Reggie, a sci-fi fanatic and scientist, and his nephew Isaiah, a horror buff who watches scary movies so you don’t have to, Movie Postmortem explores the strange, the scary, and the spectacular with two generations of hot takes.
This week, we’re reviewing M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs.
We discuss why the combination of aliens and horror works so well, the film’s incredible buildup of tension, and some of its perfectly timed scares.
We also talk about interesting family dynamic, the surprisingly funny moments scattered throughout the movie, and how the film uses grief, faith, and coincidence to tell a much more personal story beneath the alien invasion.
Plus: What we wish happened to Lionel Pritchard and the Wolfington brothers!

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - Fava Beans and a Nice Postmortem
This week, we’re dissecting The Silence of the Lambs, one of the most memorable psychological thrillers ever made.
We discuss how the film builds Hannibal Lecter’s terrifying reputation before we even meet him, Sir Anthony Hopkins’ cold and unsettling performance, and the visual choices that constantly emphasize how Clarice Starling is navigating a world dominated by men.
We also talk about the film’s handling of Buffalo Bill, the imagery that made Hannibal an instantly recognizable movie icon, and how this film helped turn Hopkins into one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
