TPToA Podcast 214 – Mortal Kombat (2021)
In 1992 a scandalous video game hit the arcades, it's unique selling point; the ability to violently kill a bunch of photo-realistic fighters in interesting and grotesque ways. It was seemingly designed to make parents angry (and therefore become the hottest thing for teenagers to play, anywhere) and it succeeded. Mortal Kombat was better than popular. it was INFAMOUS. Nearly 30 years on the franchise continues to push the boundaries of good taste and probably to annoy parents: It's still gruesome, it's still bloody and now it's back in cinemas for another bite at that fat Hollywood cash. Mortal Kombat is directed by Western Australian Simon McQuoid and was shot in and around Adelaide, making this a distinctly Aussie feeling production. Does it have the international flavour it needs to engage the MK fanbase? Only time will tell.
Dion, Jill and demon-sorcerer Quinn-Chi are ready to tag team on this cinematic fight-fest to see if it's a Flawless Victory, or just another Mortal Kombat related pun.
