Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold

But that didn't mean I would love it let alone remotely enjoy it. That said, Jason and Tad did an amazing job telling our story. It's fun and funny, sad and aggravating but the story of POSTAL is all of those things. Despite living through all of this insanity, it's wild to see it all told sequentially with such elegance. Cheers to the animators and entire production staff at Playtest for the job they did on this film. Make sure you go check out the games on PC, PlayStation or Switch. Tell yer friends and tell yer family. Prepare yourself, regret nothing and WATCH THIS FILM! GOING POSTAL is a 10/10!

First of all I wanna make it clear I got my Blu-Ray for free from a contest on twitter but that doesn't define my review cause I've been a long time fan of this company! This documentary is as close to as definitive of a take on the building up of Running with Scissors as you can ever get! It's just such a shame they don't go over Postal 4 but given everything else it's alright to let that slide. They go over so much else in great details and, if you don't know much about RWS, you'll find out here. If you DO know, you'll know what they're talking about but they let other tidbits slip in. This is a love letter to a definitive underdog game company!

I've always had a deep love for the Postal series. From the very first time I played it, I was drawn to its outrageous humor, its unapologetic attitude, and the way it stood out so boldly from everything else in gaming. But watching this documentary was a completely different experience-it wasn't just about the games anymore, it was about the journey behind them. Seeing Running With Scissors' history laid out so vividly, from their earliest days of being labeled as outcasts and pariahs to becoming a company that now enjoys real recognition and success, was truly moving for me.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I cried; it wasn't a performance, it was real emotion. The story touched me because it showed not only the struggles of making controversial art, but also the perseverance of people who refused to give up on their vision. Despite the backlash, censorship, and the criticism that came from almost every corner, RWS kept going. They believed in what they were creating, even when others tried to silence or dismiss them, and that persistence is something I deeply admire.

For me, this documentary wasn't just entertainment-it was inspiring. It reminded me that passion and dedication can turn even the harshest criticism into eventual triumph. Watching RWS's transformation made me feel proud and genuinely happy, as if I was celebrating alongside them after years of struggle. That's why this documentary means so much to me personally. It's not only my favorite documentary about gaming, but one of the most meaningful films I've ever watched. Without a doubt, it will always stay at the very top of my list.

This review will be both characteristics listed in the title of this review. I worked on this film for a bit, and I can't believe or describe how happy I personally am with the final outcome. Tad and Jason put out a film that captures every bit of absurd fun that I experienced in filming Vince, Mike, JSJ, Mike Hunter and the rest. From Pax East in Boston (right as COVID was being announced), to LA filming Miss Carter Cruise and Mister Zack Ward, Tad and Jason put together a film that consolidates 5 years of madness into 2 hilarious and enthralling hours. Go watch it. Bring your kids.

Go kidnap someone else's if you don't have your own. It's wildly entertaining. The kids, regardless of whose they are, will enjoy it. You will love it.

As a Postal fan this myself in my honest opinion but this has to be one of the better documentary I have ever watched, it has great cinematography, editing, and most importantly all the characteristic each and every person had was special, its great seeing a Postal documentary like this showing all of the up and down while producing the game, I myself am a new fan to the Postal franchise but I would recommend it, seeing all those merch I didnt even know much about is amazing in my opinion I got to learn more about the game I loved, the documentary is great way to learn more about the history of the company, and the franchise, and I loved it just for that.
