On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are fighting for our lives to bring you this B-movie episode. We watched the 1995 film from Paul W.S. Anderson, Mortal Kombat.
Watching this movie is like playing the original game without inputting the secret code to turn on “Blood Mode.” That’s ABACABB for those looking for a hit of nostalgia.
Yeah, there’s going to be a bunch of fighting, someone’s going to say “flawless victory” (even if it isn’t quite earned), and souls are going to be sucked out of bodies.
What there’s not going to be are the bone-crunching brawls and gruesome fatalities for which the game series became infamous. That’s what people want when they watch a Mortal Kombat film.
What does a movie like this do? It makes for an excellent conversation. Listen on the find out if we grade this B-movie brilliant, a flunder, or the dreaded blunder.
