Uncensored and unapologetic, this feature-length documentary dives into the chaotic 25-year journey of Postal, the notorious video game franchise by Running with Scissors (RWS). Storming into its 1997 debut, Postal shocked the world with its unfiltered violence and unapologetic dark humor, igniting public outcry, government scrutiny, and multiple bans across the globe. Led by eccentric founder, Vince Desiderio and vice president, Mike Jaret-Schachter, RWS navigates a minefield of media fury, legal battles, and industry flops. Through ups and downs--including a disastrous Postal 3 release and its triumphant return with Postal 4--the film explores the franchise's resilience, its fan-driven success, and Desi's defiant message: 'Have fun. Regret nothing.' This is the untamed story of an industry maverick, a divisive cultural icon, and an unwavering dedication to fans.

Jake P Thoroughly-researched, brilliantly-presented, and utterly hilarious, Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold covers the rise, fall and rebirth of the POSTAL series in an engaging and informative way. Voice actors, journalists, developers, and a slew of other guests share a lot of engaging conversations, whether it's about the controversies that surrounded the title or the impact the series has made. Eye-catching fan-made animations and artwork are littered throughout, which add additional comedic flair to the wild anecdotes the cast have to share, and the cinematography throughout is nothing short of stunning. In short, this may very well be the best video game documentary to date. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Ethan R I LOVED this film so much. I’ve had a fixation on postal for a hot minute now so this was really nice! The one thing I am a little sad about is that postal brain damaged was really talked about since it’s my favorite to play. Besides that, I enjoyed seeing how Running With Scissors came to be a company. I would heavily recommend this to anyone interested in the postal series! user- @tf2_MedicMain Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review milk m I absolutely loved that one! Thanks for father's day giveaway RWS!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Burak G As a fan of Postal, I’m eagerly waiting and I regret nothing. @MayMabet Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Simone C Hey, I'm not kidding when I say this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It's informative, funny, and so damn entertaining. I highly recommend it, you won't REGRET NOTHING. (@CAPPUUU2 on X) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely beautiful, This documentary left me speechless. The fact that this was the only documentary I've watched is Absolutely flattering. Definitely would rate more than a five out five. Postal has changed my life in many different ways, more than I can think of and it makes me happy seeing that Mike J and Vince Desi also feel the exact same makes me feel in some sort of way. If RWS is reading this, Have a krotchy day! @KainMosier41813 On X. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
