Godzilla turned 70, and somehow he was more terrifying than ever before.

This week on Movie Postmortem, we’re reviewing Godzilla Minus One. We discuss how the film makes its kaiju story deeply personal through Shikishima, a failed kamikaze pilot carrying enormous guilt and shame, and how his choices make this film feel like more than just a story about a monster destroying cities.

We also talk about the spectacular destruction, and how the film uses postwar Japan to explore survival, honor, and trauma.

We discuss our favorite episodes from the past before diving into Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 for our 100th episode!

We discuss Bella’s transformation into a vampire, the increasingly strange collection of vampire superpowers, the infamous CGI used to bring Renesmee to life, and the surprisingly funny moments.

We also get into the Volturi’s extremely unnecessary trip to Forks, and the movie’s huge final confrontation that gives the audience exactly what they’ve been waiting for... before revealing that things may not be quite what they seem.

After five movies, does the Twilight saga stick the landing?

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!
