This week on The First Run, Matt and Chris check out ‘Mortal Kombat II’.  The franchise reboot continues with nary a Christopher Lambert Raiden insight.  After the lackluster relaunch back in 2021, can the ill-fated franchise fight back?  We know there are going to be fatalities but are there going to be Animalities? Babalities?! FRIENDSHIPS?!? One can dream.
