Mortal Kombat (2021) tells the story of 'Cole Young', a failed MMA fighter who has a strange birthmark. The birthmark automatically means he is a champion of earth, and must defend Earth Realm in the last of ten consecutive martial arts tournaments against 'Outworld' - but not if the Outworld team and its fearsome assassins have anything to say about it!

We talk about the tournament that never was; the benefits of an assassin picking the best moment. means and moniker; and question some interdimensional treaty-writing decisions.

All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?

Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: The fate of Earth is in OUR hands.

Next time, we're caught in a trap: It's Spiral: from the Book of Saw (2021).
