It's showtime! We do another kharacter deep dive and take a look at everybody's favorite heroic goofball, Johnny Cage! You know the drill: we'll cover the actors who have donned the sunglasses and explore the evolution of Johnny's character from Jean-Claude ripoff to OP god killer. So guard the crown jewels and come join us for a rousing discussion!

Do you love or hate Johnny? Let us know in the comments!

The first era of Mortal Kombat games ends not with a bang, but a whimper. We finally conclude the first leg of our journey by playing Mortal Kombat: Special Forces for the Playstation. This time all three of us actually gave it a spin, and so has Final Neal of MK Podquest , who returns to help us dissect what is often considered to be the worst Mortal Kombat game. But is it really the worst? We take an honest look, have some deep conversation, talk about some movies, and Neal also gets executed.

How do you feel about Special Forces? Let us know in the comments.

It's that time again! Time to cozy up by the fire with some great literature, as we explore the Malibu Comics one-shot Kitana and Mileena, and the two-issue series Mortal Kombat: U.S. Special Forces. How lucky we are to get to read these gems! How lucky you are to get to hear about them so you don't have to read them!

Do you agree with our assessment of these komics? Let us know in the comments below!

It feels like we haven't seen you since last year... While we're working on our next episodes covering more Mortal Kombat komics and MK: Special Forces, we take a moment to catch up, talk about our current favorite and upcoming games, and Jae and Josh make a historic bet on when MK 12 will come out.

Let us know what you're looking forward to in 2023 in the comments below!

What's the greatest Street Fighter game? Yup, you guessed it! It's still Street Fighter III: Third Strike. But, a game that may not be as bad as we initially thought is the MK-styled video game adaptation, Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game. We take an honest look at the game, explore its history, and ruminate about the purity of unarmed Kombat.

Has Mortal Kombat ever scared you? No? Maybe not even a little bit? It will tonight, as the Kombat Krew dives into the world of internet creepypastas and explores three spine-tingling (or spine-ripping?) tales that will keep you up all night. We also uncover a terrifying conspiracy about MK11. We know you're not doing anything special tonight for Halloween, right? Or maybe you're just avoiding trick-or-treaters. Whatever the case, keep the porch lights off (and the inside lights as well), curl up in your blanket, and prepare to get frigh-talitied.

It’s our 30th episode and it’s time to talk Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind! By now, almost every MK fan has probably had time to see it, but if you didn’t, hang out for the first fifteen minutes for a spoiler-free review. Once you do, check out the rest, where we go deep on what’s good and what’s not good. So get comfy, make some soup, and close your eyes, because you don’t need your sight to enjoy Kombat Time!

Special guest Damion Damaske comes back to have a hearty conversation with us about the lore of Mortal Kombat. Why is Scorpion so angry all the time? Exactly how many times has Kung Lao died? We dive into the story, the characters, and the evolution of Mortal Kombat's rich mythology, and how it reflects on the current era.

The Kombat Krew is back again, this time to talk about the Mortal Kombat 4 comic book tie-in. We take a few detours along the way to getting there, though. But you're 28 episodes into this show already. (hopefully?) You know how it is here. So, let us know what you thought of the MK 4 comic, as well as Resident Evil in general.

It’s Kombat Time yet again as Neal from MK Podquest returns (yet again) to discuss the fourth entry in the series with us, Mortal Kombat 4! Any more guest appearances and he might take over the podcast.

We also take twenty minutes to discuss the latest news: the upcoming animated sequel Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind, and Josh also talks about the strange ways he plays video games.
