The game was crass, gory, and dumb--all of which might have been forgivable if the game had been any fun to play. Postal gained enough notoriety from riding the wave of public outrage to warrant a sequel. And DLC. And a remake. And, perhaps most surprising of all, a Golden-Raspberry-winning feature film adaptation directed by the infamous Uwe Boll. In this thoughtful and hilarious tag-team performance, Brock Wilbur \u0026amp; Nathan Rabin probe the fascinatingly troubled game and film for what each can tell us about shock culture \u0026amp; mass shootings, interviewing the RWS team and even Boll himself for answers. Like it or not, Postal is the franchise that won't die--no matter how many molotov cocktails you throw at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrock Wilbur is a writer and comedian from Kansas.
