We're testing your might and maybe even your patience this week as we're back discussing video game adaptations (and yet another one from Paul W. S. Anderson) with the original Mortal Kombat from 1995. A film with some pretty great locations, art direction, and set dressing, which is honestly amazing considering all the scenery chewing going on in this movie. But a myriad of strange decisions like brainwashing the two best characters of the franchise into mindless zombies, casting a white dude to portray the Japanese God of Thunder, and tossing out "flawless victory’s” with total abandon make this a very sloppy movie at best and an absolute disaster at worst. So with that said, pack your bags, put on your $500 sunglasses (asshole), and board the dragon boat as we head to Outworld and discuss a whole plethora of topics like Western Union's outrageous telegram rates, Nathan's old band opening for Adema, Mortal Kombat being a thickly veiled metaphor for Scientology, and a hell of a lot more with returning guest JT Kelly. This is where you download our episode.

Mortal Kombat (1995) stars Linden Ashby, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Robin Shou, Bridgette Wilson, Talisa Soto, and Christopher Lambert. Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson.
