Uwe Boll's Postal, Part 2: Uwe's critical disagreement
Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Andy Hunter. We wrap up our discussion of Uwe Boll's 2007 film Postal by examining the film's critical and audience reception at the time of its release. This will help set the stage for Uwe's multiple attempts to make a sequel to the video game movie audiences didn't seem to hate as much as his other movies.
Topics discussed include: Uwe gets big mad at critics, Uwe should probably get a new publicist, Kevin's lukewarm takes on an 18-year-old flop, and we look at Uwe Boll vs. Chris Koehler of Wired in another installment of Scandalous Games Theatre.
