MORTAL KOMBAT!! The beloved violent video game franchise made its big leap to the cinema in 1995, followed it up with a derided sequel in 1997, and then took 24 years to return with 2021's Mortal Kombat and the recent Mortal Kombat 2. But which one is the best? Find out in our new episode!! 

Also, some talk about internet controversy if that's your bag. 

**Spoiler Warning - we do spoil pretty much every movie we talk about here, so if you haven't caught up with MK2 yet, maybe listen to the first hour and then come back when you have seen the film**

Listen to find out! 

Also, some optimism about 2026 in movies, TV and video games for the first twenty minutes if you are all about that kind of thing...

It's finally time to talk about the late maestro David Lynch! Specifically the three films he made set in Los Angeles with Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire, forming an unofficial "Trilogy." We get into the unheralded skills of Lynch as a horror filmmaker in Lost Highway, as well as the origins of Mulholland Drive, before his final feature, the off-the-rails Inland Empire. 

Listen now and find out which one we think should be crowned champion! (Although art is subjective, so who wins really?)

We are back with part two of our Yautja/Predator tournament. This time around, we are looking at 2018's heavily compromised The Predator, followed by 2022's Prey. Then we take a look at 2025's Predator: Killer of Killers and the box office hit Predator: Badlands. We finish things off by looking at the winner of this round compared to the winner in part one to determine who is the champion of the Predator franchise! 

Oh, and we also go through our favourite media of 2025 if you are interested...

**SPOILER WARNING** - we spoil The Predator, Prey, Killer of Killers and Badlands from about ten minutes in.
