MORTAL KOMBAAAAT!

Welcome to episode 8 where we will be diving deep into the world of Mortal Kombat.

We kick off as always with a discussion about what we have been playing/watching this week and also touch on the news of the nominees for the Game Awards coming up in a couple of weeks.

Next, we give a brief overview of the three Mortal Kombat movies and have a discussion about what makes them good, fair or incredibly bad.

Then for our Retro Corner, Daz will be bringing us all the way back to the mid 90's for a chat about Mortal Kombat 2.

Thanks for listening as always.

Next up, Daz guides us through a chat about Star Trek, where it began for us, the current state of Trek and what the future looks like.

Then for our extended Retro Corner, we revisit the 1999 gem Galaxy Quest. Enjoy Phil's overuse of the word "disdain".
