Mortal Kombat (w/ Chris Bashen)

MOR TAL KOM BAT!!!

WELCOME to the first of THREE two-fer franchises that we will be covering on THIS PODCAST RIGHT HERE.

Matt's franchise pick is up first and that, of course, is "Mortal Kombat." The two films that comprise this ultimate franchise are 1995's "Mortal Kombat," followed by 1997's "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation."

This episode covers the Paul W.S. Anderson 1995 classic film and not the 2021 version (although that one may pop up soon if you are a subscriber of our Patreon page!)

Our guest for this episode is the host of the NerdOutcast Podcast, Chris Bashen! If you're IN THE KNOW, you'd know that the L2W boyz were recently guests on Chris's show to discuss the "Predator" film series. Well, guess what? WE GOT HIM TO ENTER THE THUNDERDOME AND COME TO OUR SHOW, MUAHAHAHA!! 

 

As always, here is the official synopsis for this classic film:

"A Hollywood elite, Veronica Vaughn, and Liu Kang are summoned by Highlander to enter Mortal Com....ahem, KOMbat, an ancient tournament that is held once every hundred years or something. If they lose then our world will be destroyed, but if they win...then we get to hear that Halcyon + On + On song from "Hackers"...you know the one."
