Hubris being what it is, I’m sure to drop the second I announce hitting 1,500. But all the same - thanks for all the likes and RTs (and more importantly thoughtful film conversation) everybody! Means a ton.

☢️#35. Warriors of the Apocalypse, 1985. Pure crap #postapocalyptic masterpiece. A plodding impenetrable story, hilarious dubbing, and the worst eye laser fx in the history of cinema all add up to dumb fun by the gigantic shoulder-pad full. Great climax. #drinkup #sbig 1.5/5 ☢️

☢️#34. Tank Girl, 1995. Falling short of its anarchistic comic book source material, this frustratingly uneven #postapocalyptic comedic romp could probably still become your favorite movie. #LoriPetty kills it. #TankGirl #sexpositive #punkhero 3.5/5 ☢️

☢️#33. Escape from L.A., 1996. A sense of deja vu creeps in early and never exits. This is an audacious beat for beat remake/lampoon of the original escape. Hilariously bad CG. Needlessly exposition heavy. But...still has Snake. Still fun as hell. #postapocalyptic #sbig 3.5/5 ☢️

No shares yet! Cmon folks, get in the spirit! Feed the inner tiny Tim in all of us that desires the constant approval that can only come from a stranger that likes the same kind of entertainment as you!

☢️#32. The Matrix, 1999. Belated spoiler alert! By reviewing this at all, I am ruining a fundamental plot reveal. If by some miraculous chance you’ve never seen #TheMatrix go ahead and pop it on. Word is it’s pretty good. 5/5 ☢️

I also toured the US in a band once upon a time. Not going to lie, Tennessee was not my favorite place. Montana is beautiful tho

⚔️#11. Willow, 1988. #GeorgeLucas shaves his Ewoks giving them some much deserved time in the limelight with director #RonHoward in this fun if not overly simplistic fantasy romp. #ValKilmer shines as the roguish cad paired with the naively noble #WarwickDavis. #fuckdisney 4/5 ⚔️

☢️#31. Turbo Kid, 2015. A nostalgia laden #postapocalyptic pastiche. Dutiful self awareness nearly weighs down the narrative, but is saved by wonderfully over-the-top gore and goofily earnest performances. Fun stuff. #goofily #MichealIronside #TurboKid 4/5 ☢️

Recently was asked to share my film work and realized that a couple of you might be vaguely curious to watch something I wrote / directed. At the very least to see if I’m delusional as well as overly opinionated. Here you go! https://t.co/DDv2tVPH2v passwrd: memove

☢️#30. Night of the Comet, 1984. Despite its dramatic poster - this one is straight up goofy 80s #postapocalyptic fun. A proto #buffysummers battles zombies with her sister under a red gel sky in a just-abandoned-enough downtown LA. #cultfilm #sobaditsgood #shoppingmotage 3/5 ☢️

☢️#29. Cherry 2000, 1987. We have seen the future and it is horny. And stupid. An undercooked #postapocalyptic satire is made watchable by the sheer effort put into creative costumes and sets. A noticeably larger budget than your average #sobaditsgood jam. #MelanieGriffith 3/5☢️

My dude @eli5stone shared much of this in person back in the day. Picked me up some skillz. Unfortunately most of this is rendered pretty much obsolete these days (as I’m nearly all digital). Although I did find a ziptone sheet the other day. Hmmmm

☢️#28. Waterworld, 1995. A fumbled attempt to reinvent the dusty #postapocalyptic genre. #justaddwater. Despite its short comings - Costner cheese, Hopper insanity, and a floating battalion of stunt performers nearly salvage the waterlogged mess. #funwatch #waterworld 3.5/5 ☢️

☢️#27. Wheels of Fire, 1985. Watch for the horrid performances, flame thrower stunt action, and full support of the Philippine army. Don’t watch for the absurdly overt exploitation of its lead actress. Would be a slam dunk #postapocalyptic #sobaditsgood rec. otherwise. 2.5/5 ☢️

☢️#25. Wall-E, 2008. I was worried for the franchise after the missteps of #ShortCircuit2, but then they went and made the best of the trilogy! This time #JohnnyFive finds himself on #postapocalyptic cleanup duty and looking for love. I want to hug this movie! #WallE 5/5 ☢️

☢️#24. On the Beach, 1959. An often grueling #postapocalyptic epic that repeatedly jumps the line between quaint naïveté and somber acknowledgement of the existential crisis of nuclear proliferation. Saved mostly by a few darkly humorous and thoughtful scenes. #cokebottle 3/5 ☢️

☢️#23. Mad Max: Fury Road, 2015. To avoid blowing the curve for every other movie on my list, this masterpiece necessitates a stand alone rating. Easily the finest action movie to ever grace the silver screen. In fact, I’m going to go watch it again right now! 6/5 ☢️
