In PART TWO of our discussion on the Mortal Kombat original novel by Jeff Rovin, we discuss chapters 12-26, where more than one character is fused with another character, and Shang Tsung still gets zero souls for his portal.

We'll be back next week to talk about the rest of the book, which is sure to have a satisfying conclusion that leaves no questions unanswered. Until then:

We're BACK and we're talking the brand new(ish) animated feature Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match, a retro styled Johnny Cage adventure that is also secretly a "christmas movie." Also, we're pretty cranky on this episode, despite the movie being pretty good, so we're sorry(ish).

Dominic Hart (Twitter: @domxhart | @domxhart.bsky.social) joins The Boys to talk about a bewildering and nearly impossible to find 1996 Martial Arts film starring Ho-Sung Pak, Richard Divizio, and something like 20 other actors associated with Mortal Kombat productions, games, or commercials. Is the movie good? You'll have to listen to find out!*

We're going track by track through the 1994 Mortal Kombat album produced by The Immortals, aka The Lords of Acid. Will any of these tracks reach the unforgettable high of 'Techno Syndrome'? You'll have to listen to find out!*

We'll be back again to talk about an obscure martial arts movie starring several Mortal Kombat alumni! Until then:

Mortal Kombat is no stranger to reboots, but on this episode we're talking about a very specific 'Mortal Kombat' ReBoot. Also apparently Corey doesn't think skeletons are real.

There will be more episodes of this podcast later.
Until then:

Friend of the show Danny (@eckspider on Twitter) made us aware that there's a 9 page manga adaptation of the classic Mortal Kombat movie (which you can read HERE), so we forced him come on the podcast to talk about it.

Who knows what we'll be talking about on the next episode...

Look, we're sorry. But there's technically FOUR Mortal Kombat actors in this.

There's fighting game movies, and then there's fighting game movies. DOA: Dead or Alive is a good time and Jaime Pressly and Robin Shou are in it.

Our next episode also won't be about a Mortal Kombat thing but will feature more Jaime Pressly (probably).
Until then:

Look, you all knew this was coming. Neal plans to turn every podcast he does into an Archie Comics podcast, so we're discussing the Sabrina the Teenage Witch season 1 episode featuring Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Tai Wai Tse. Let's just get right into it.

We thought we were done with licensed 90s Mortal Kombat comics, but then we found out about this 4-issue series from Brazil based on MK4. It's a ride for sure. Shout-out to Tabmok99 and MKO user Gentile who translated these comics in to english for the fans!
