Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold

I've been hyperfixated on Postal for the last few years and it has dragged me out of some of the most difficult times of my life, so seeing the history in a documentary like this genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful documentary that feels like it was made by Postal fans for Postal fans!!! I'm not ashamed to say I was absolutely bawling at the end :')

The editing is amazing first of all, I can't describe it but it just WORKS. The animation throughout is tasteful and also just works perfectly.

Also, Zach Ward, Rick Hunter, Corey Cruise, AND Jon St John being interviewed in this is my Spider-Man No Way Home.

This gave me a new and even higher respect for Postal, for Vince Desi and Mike J, and everyone who's ever worked on the series.

10/10.

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.

I been a postal fan for a while now and I am excited that I got to watch this documentary. I been hyped with the annoying that postal would be getting a documentary and love seeing the teaser trailers. I also love seeing Mike J and Vince talking about their experiences with postal. Of course there are youtube video going into the history of postal but none of them really deep drive into the starting of running with scissors as a company and the impact that postal had in the world of 1997. To me this is one of the best ways to learn more about running with scissors and postal over the 25 years they have existed for.(Username:AaronR-701)

Ok, I'll admit, I'm very biased towards anything related to POSTAL, so my ten star rating is definitely skewed by that. But I found this docimentary really amazing and it really does show the history of POSTAL really well. I watched it with my brother, and we both had an amazing time watching it together. I'm such a big fan of this franchise, even though i'm very new to it, and I'm so glad I had the chance to learn through this movie. I'm running out of things to say to hit the minimum required limit but I truly did love this movie and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in the topic.

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.
