Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold

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!

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.

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.

"Going Postal" takes a deep dive into the question of whether or not violent video games lead to real world violence. Told by narrators whom I find myself rooting for through every uphill challenge. While I personally believe video games do not cause violence, each new edition of Postal challenges my views with the game's evolving graphics and play mechanics.

The animation featured in the film is both engaging and visually appealing, keeping the viewer entertained with humorous anecdotes. The music in the film does its part to immerse you into the changing atmosphere of each new chapter of the story.

I highly recommend this film to not only video game lovers, but viewers that want to watch a geniunly great film.

Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold takes one of the most controversial video game franchises ever and give us a look into how and why the developers continued to persist despite everything working against them. It's a portrait of underdogs who don't care what everyone thinks of them and who will do anything to continue doing what they love. It's rambunctious, it's out of pocket, it's hilarious, and it's human. This was a great documentary and it comes highly recommended to anyone looking to understand more about the history of the video game industry, but moreover anyone who has any interest in social commentary or a story about the human spirit to persevere.
