Matinee Monday: Mortal Kombat (w/ Cameron Esposito)

MORTAL KOMBAT! Cameron Esposito (A Million Little Things) enters the fighting arena with Paul, June, and Jason to talk all about the 1995 stinker movie adaptation of a beloved video game. They discuss the anticlimactic fight with Goro, Christopher Lambert's wig, and how the mortals are unfazed by the supernatural. Plus, we learn about June's relationship with video games, find out Jason's thoughts on the soundtrack, and hear an amazing Second Opinion review. (Originally Released 01/28/2014)

[@DPK365]

You think this one is bad? Watch Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

[@ryanmussell739]

Exactly.
I am surprised there has never been a fan made movie to replace annihlation.

[@WhoaD614]

this is an old episode of the podcast and shortly after this came out they learned about annihilation and how bad it was. they said the first one sucked bad enough they didnt need to see a worse version lol
