Mortal Kombat (1995) shouldn’t work as well as it does, and that’s exactly why we had to revisit it. The CGI gets clowned, the dialogue gets cheesy, and yet the movie still feels like it has a pulse. We sit down to rewatch this classic video game adaptation and figure out what gives it that hard-to-fake 90s charm.

We get into Paul W.S. Anderson’s early action style, why wide shots matter, and which fight scenes actually hold up when you’re paying attention. From Johnny Cage vs Scorpion to the “how did Goro lose that fast” debate, we argue our way through the movie’s biggest moments, best choreography, and weirdest choices. We also talk casting wins and whiffs, including Raiden, Sonya Blade, Shang Tsung, and the one character every Mortal Kombat movie somehow nails: Kano.

This episode is a Flawless Victory.. hehehe
