For this Week's TechtalkRadio Show  - Andy, Shawn, Justin, and Matt welcome documentary filmmakers Tad Sallee and Jason Sikorsky, the creative minds behind "Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold". This five-year passion project chronicles the rise, controversy, and legal battles of Mike J. and Vince Desi, the duo behind the infamous Postal video game series.

The filmmakers—who first met handing out Clinique samples at the University of Arizona—in  Tucson initially set out to make a short YouTube series, but the story of the Journey of Running With Scissors and Postal pulled them into a 5 years-long journey involving crowdfunded production, learning of the legal drama, and the fight for free speech in gaming. The guys discuss the cameras used to put it together ranging from Canon C100s to Red and Sony A73s, which delivered a mountain of 24TB in footage, the project evolved dramatically—especially when they migrated from Adobe Creative Suite to DaVinci Resolve for post-production to have it needed to be rebuilt. 

The team dives into the technical challenges of editing a documentary full of archival footage and interviews—including chats with friends in the Radio World that provided the various voices of The Postal Dude like Rick Hunter, Corey Cruise, and Jon St. John. The film premiered to a sold-out crowd at the 2025 Phoenix Film Festival, even sharing a time slot with Platoon. Talk about epic timing!

Tad also shares insights into his production company Playtest Network, dedicated to video game specials and documentaries. With Postal done, new ideas flew fast: Justin pitched a future film on Project Zomboid, and Andy floated the idea of a History Channel-style series on video game history in America similar to The Food That Made America. 

The crew also caught up on gaming news and memories:

🎮 Justin is hunting down a Nintendo Switch 2 (but why?!)

🎮 Shawn breaks news about Mattel teaming up with OpenAI for AI-powered toys—which could be a bad idea and whether we’re raising the next-gen or dumbing them down.

🎮 Favorite Games are discussed and Matt gets nostalgic with Final Fantasy VIII and Legend of Dragoon, Justin shouts out GoldenEye and Sea of Thieves, Shawn reps Diablo II, and Andy remembers the pure joy of Intellivision Baseball with his late son .

This episode is packed with game history, tech challenges, AI toys, and some heartfelt moments that went beyond the Games.
