About this listen

Put your quarter on the screen shelf because were are swinging away at one of the most iconic fighting games of the arcade era… Mortal Kombat!! 

Together we try to figure out how the cinematic cut scene storytelling of the modern MK video games can be so deep and rich within the constraints of the VS game model, and how the movies with all their freedom can be so amazingly BAD that we dubbed them “Catchphrase porn.”

Is Liu Kang a way of the four elements monk? Is Scorpion just a Warlock with a fiend pact? Is Johnny Cage more Bard than Fighter? Is Sonia Blade an Oath of the Crown Paladin? Is Noob Saibot an Echo Knight with the stupidest name ever?
