Episode 145 (January 17, 2025)
Get over here to this podcast about Mortal Kombat (1995). We’re revisiting this movie, even after having already covered it on episode 76, because that episode was less than 30 minutes long. And respect must be paid! Director Paul W.S. Anderson knows exactly what kind of movie he’s making here, and the scuzzy mid-’90s vibes are immaculate!
Now, is this movie basically just you watching the video game, but in movie form? Well, yes. But that’s what you bought the ticket for!
Time stamps:
7:02 — Our personal histories with Mortal Kombat
11:18 — History segment: The history of the Mortal Kombat franchise; the making of the 1995 movie under director Paul W.S. Anderson
33:07 — In-depth movie discussion
