Post-Apocalyptic Movie Geek Out with Ty Rucker (Part 2)


The postman movie - PA movies

Ty Rucker from Crypt Monkey Games returns as we explore the wasteland once again. Our post-apocalyptic movie geek out continues from 1987. We cover obscure movies and popular ones, but all of them deal with the end of the world. The Blood of Heroes created a sport called Jugger. Escape from L.A. gave us Kurt Russel and Peter Fonda surfing a tsunami. Robot Jox was giant mech before giant mech was cool. The Postman was almost a work of complete genius. These movies expose us to stories and situations we can use in our tabletop role-playing game campaigns.
