The Mortal Kombat II movie came out… several weeks ago, apparently, but MK Fever is still raging at Zero Issues Central! We finally all saw the movie, so now it’s time to talk all about it! Does it hold up to the mighty 1995 Klassic? What characters and fights were a flawless fatality or a fatal blow to the series? And what of Karl Urban as Johnny Cage? And our favourite character, Cole Young!? But we’ve got a lot more Kombat to Konversate about! We dig into tournaments as a storytelling function, their long history in comics, games, and movies, and the ever-present shadow of “Enter the Dragon”. We match up some Krossover Kombatants, pitting the MK Krew against comic heroes, then dig into the history of Mortal Kombat comics… which is still mostly Malibu’s 1990s MK line, so why hasn’t anyone else done much with this franchise since? And we have a Casting Call for a whole bunch of MK characters — but they have to be actors from John Carpenter movies! That’s right, we’ve got “Rowdy” Roddy Piper as Johnny Cage! James Hong as Shang Tsung! Keith David as Scorpion! Wilford Brimley as Kano! Ernest Borgnine as Goro! And that’s just the tip of the Event Tower. Direct Download: MP3

Summer movie season is officially kicking off, and the box office is already throwing curveballs. This week, we dive into the numbers for The Mandalorian & Grogu, which defied early tracking worries to pull in a solid $81.9 million over the weekend. But the real story might be the horror-thriller Obsession, which pulled off a rare 30% weekend-to-weekend jump thanks to an intense viral billboard campaign and massive word-of-mouth.Before the box office breakdown, we catch up on everything we've been watching on screens big and small. Josh and Garrett check in on the brutal fatalities and Karl Urban's washed-up Johnny Cage performance in Mortal Kombat 2. Meanwhile, David checks out the streaming survival-thriller Send Help starring Rachel McAdams, and gets surprisingly emotional over the Netflix book adaptation Remarkably Bright Creatures, featuring Alfred Molina as a brilliant, human-helping octopus.Go check that out at somanysequels.com to subscribe, and let us know what you're watching on Instagram at @somanysequelspod.
Neste episódio do podcast De Volta Para o Sofá, nós rebobinamos a fita até o ano de 1995 para revisitarmos "Mortal Kombat", primeira adaptação para o cinema do popular jogo de luta. O filme tem direção de Paul W.S. Anderson (que mais tarde também levaria "Resident Evil" para a telona) e no elenco principal estão Robin Shou (Liu Kang), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang-Tsung), Christopher Lambert (Rayden), Bridgette Wilson (Sonya Blade), Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage) e Talisa Soto (Kitana). Prepare o seu Fatality e aperte o play para revisitar "Mortal Kombat" com a gente! Venha descobrir se o filme ainda é tão marcante quanto na época em que o vimos pela primeira vez. Confira abaixo a minutagem dos quadros do podcast: 00:00:00 - Introdução 00:01:23 - Memória Afetiva: quando vimos o filme pela primeira vez e como foi revê-lo agora? 00:22:02 - Almanaque: uma coleção de informações, reflexões e curiosidades 00:44:12 - Deu Tilt: aspectos que ficaram datados ou cenas que não funcionam mais 01:03:53 - Momento Supra Sumo: nossas cenas favoritas 01:14:59 - Por Onde Anda: saiba o que o elenco principal está fazendo hoje em dia 01:38:17 - Música de Encerramento - Visite a página do podcast no site e confira material extra sobre o tema do episódio - Junte-se ao Cineclube Cinematório e tenha acesso a conteúdo exclusivo de cinema Em "Mortal Kombat", três relutantes lutadores -- Liu Kang, Sonya Blade e Johnny Cage -- são enviados para uma ilha remota onde enfrentarão adversários perigosos em um torneio no qual o destino da Terra está em jogo. Com a ajuda do poderoso Lord Rayden, eles terão que passar por combates mortais até chegarem ao confronto final contra o temido feiticeiro Shang-Tsung. Lançado quando os jogos de "Mortal Kombat" já eram uma febre mundial, o filme fez sucesso de bilheteria, mas foi alvo de críticas por retirar quase que integralmente a violência extrema e o sangue que fizeram a fama do game e o tornaram o principal concorrente de "Street Fighter" nos fliperamas. O longa teve uma continuação, "Mortal Kombat - A Aniquilação" (1997), e mais tarde a franquia ganhou séries de TV e um reboot no cinema, em 2021. No podcast, nós relembramos quando assistimos a "Mortal Kombat" pela primeira vez e você conhece diversas curiosidades sobre a produção. O programa traz ainda o quadro "Deu Tilt", no qual nós listamos aspectos ou cenas que não funcionaram na revisão do filme, e o "Momento Supra Sumo", quando nós elegemos nossas cenas favoritas. Você também fica sabendo por onde andam os principais integrantes do elenco. O De Volta Para o Sofá é produzido e apresentado por Renato Silveira e Kel Gomes, editores do cinematório.

Reused props from the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie! Castor Troy's box of fun! Child endangerment! Awkward use of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow!" Efficient establishment of a bitter rivalry!

Environmental destruction, explosions, stunts, and sparks for days!

Mike shares what he believes to be the Top Cult Classics that defined the 2000s. These are the movies that either confused audiences, got dumped by studios, or flat-out failed at the box office… but later became beloved cult classics through DVD, cable, streaming, memes, and word-of-mouth. Mike talks to Emile Hirsch who talks about his love of the video store as a kid, landing the role of Speed Racer, working with his heroes, getting an early start as a child actor and his roles in Lords of Dogtown and Into the Wild. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Mortal Kombat 2. Johnny Cage joins other fighters in the ultimate, no-holds-barred battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn, a powerful tyrant who threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. Mike shares why unfortunately it wasn’t better than part 1, Karl Urban’s lackluster performance and why it feels like an off brand Avengers Infinity War. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan. Odysseus, king of Ithaca, embarks on a perilous journey to return home after the Trojan War. Mike shares why he is now hype for the movie after he initially thought it was going to be a snooze fest. New Episodes Every Monday!

Sabe aquele protagonista original que ninguém pediu no primeiro Mortal Kombat? Cole Young tem a cabeça explodida logo no início do segundo filme. E isso não é spoiler. É pedido de desculpas oficial do diretor aos fãs.Mortal Kombat 2 abandonou o realismo chato, as justificativas complexas para poderes e abraçou a galhofa total dos games. Karl Urban interpreta um Johnny Cage mais velho e decadente, passou por treinos intensos para replicar os chutes do personagem, e o início do filme homenageia Van Damme com diálogos cafonas de propósito. Martyn Ford (mais de 2 metros de altura) passa 4 horas por dia na maquiagem para virar Shao Kahn. Ed Boon, criador da franquia, aparece como barman e dubla o "Get Over Here!" do Scorpion.Rafael Arinelli, Henrique Rizatto, Duda Smilari e Natália Malini debatem por que a crítica deu nota 47 no Metacritic enquanto o público aprovou com 89% no Rotten Tomatoes. Vale a pena medir Mortal Kombat com a mesma régua de Oppenheimer? Ou isso é só porradaria, sangue e nostalgia funcionando?• 05m37: Pauta Principal• 1h20m24: Plano Detalhe• 1h36m16: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • André Marinho Moreira• Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Guilherme S.

This week, we review Mortal Kombat (1995), Paul W.S. Anderson's action-packed martial arts fantasy based on the iconic Midway video game franchise. Robin Shou, Linden Ashby, and Bridgette Wilson star as Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade — three warriors chosen to fight in an ancient interdimensional tournament to save Earth from the clutches of the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung, played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. With Christopher Lambert presiding over the chaos as the thunder god Raiden, and Outworld already sitting on nine wins out of ten, the stakes couldn't be higher. This film raises intriguing questions about what it truly means to fight for humanity — and whether a dodgy CGI lizard man is really the best line of defence.Is Mortal Kombat a finishing move or a finishing disaster?

396 Mortal Kombat 2 Invincible Finale Boys Backlash Flight of the ConchordsDoom Scrolling IntroSteph kicks things off with a Tip Top canned cocktail (Jungle Bird) while the Foos recap a packed weekend: Joe's work family-day picnic vibes, notes for next year (more trucks, coffee cart dreams, boba cart fantasies), and a throwback hang with old band friends at Richie's birthday — the same house where they used to throw teenage ragers. Joe lands a darkly perfect joke: the only time people call you “young” at 40 is at your funeral.Then Florida delivers, as always: a homeless man allegedly catches a felony after throwing an open ketchup packet at a Good Samaritan who checked on him — with the real story being the drugs they reportedly found afterward. Florida stays undefeated.Geeking Out is stacked: the Foos review Mortal Kombat 2 (May 8) and declare it's basically a full-on Johnny Cage movie — bigger scale, more classic characters, more fan service, and fight scenes that feel like the game's arenas brought to life. They roast a friend for making it halfway through the movie before realizing he thought he was watching Street Fighter.They also hit the Invincible season 4 finale fallout: Mark's trauma, Thragg stepping up as the looming big threat, Viltrumite chaos, and the internet's meme machine going into overdrive (mustaches included). Then it's The Boys discourse: the newest episode getting the lowest rating of the series, pacing complaints, and the show flirting with burnout — plus the wild release idea of the series finale in 4DX one day early… and the local showings basically selling out instantly.From there it's rapid-fire: Green Day's upcoming comedy movie Nimrods (Legion M involvement), the Swatch x Audemars Piguet “Royal Pop” collab causing real-world chaos (lines, cops, pepper spray) over a watch you can't even buy online, and a Mortal Kombat trivia quiz where Steph nearly goes perfect… until the razor-hat question exposes the Kung Lao/Liu Kang mix-up.Here's What I Would Do wraps with two dilemmas:Tori (Burbank) thinks a married coworker is crossing the line with “work spouse” energy and wants to shut it down without workplace fallout.Alyssa (Costa Mesa) agreed to location sharing with her boyfriend and now feels watched — and the Foos call it what it is: modern convenience turning into surveillance real fast.Before the outro, they shout out the Flight of the Conchords show at the Greek (their first time in years), with surprise moments and guests — and plenty of “Netflix is a joke” energy.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroTip Top Jungle Bird canned cocktail + weekend recapWork family day picnic notes coffee cart boba cart talkOld band friends Richie birthday throwback rager houseFlorida man felony over ketchup packet + drugs foundGeeking Out Mortal Kombat 2 review Johnny Cage movieFriend thought it was Street Fighter until halfway throughInvincible season 4 finale trauma Thragg Viltrumites memesThe Boys lowest rated episode discourse pacing burnoutThe Boys finale in 4DX one day early sold out scrambleGreen Day movie Nimrods Legion M summer releaseSwatch Audemars Piguet Royal Pop collab chaos lines copsMortal Kombat trivia quiz Steph almost perfectHere's What I Would Do Married coworker flirting Tori BurbankHere's What I Would Do Location sharing feels like surveillance Alyssa Costa MesaFlight of the Conchords at the Greek recapOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroMortal Kombat 2, Johnny Cage, Invincible season 4 finale, Thragg, Viltrumites, The Boys backlash, 4DX finale, Green Day Nimrods, Legion M, Swatch Audemars Piguet Royal Pop, Florida ketchup felony, Flight of the Conchords Greek Theatre, work spouse, location sharing
MK2 Full Spoiler Breakdown: Did This Sequel Fix the Franchise or Double Down on Its Mistakes?FATALITY-level spoilers incoming! Cupcake, Mike (WillDaBeast), and returning guest Lucky Bri go deep on Mortal Kombat 2 (2026), directed by Simon McQuoid and starring Karl Urban as the washed-up action hero turned reluctant fighter Johnny Cage.We cover the good (the Baraka fight sequence, Kitana's emotional revenge arc, the Kung Lao portal fight), the bad (the script's logic holes, Kitana suddenly fighting for Earthrealm, Scorpion's tacked-on return), and the very ugly (illogical plot twists, the endless revenant resurrection loop that drains every death of stakes). We also debate whether the franchise should just lean into being a 90-minute fight movie and stop reaching for Game of Thrones-esque mythology.Two of us walked out calling it a watch, one a BIG skip.

Ryan Hill and Sean Tormey circle back to Mortal Kombat: Conquest from their latest Episode Roulette by watching the remaining 3 episodes. Then, the boys complete the combo by discussing all the fights and fatalities (and flaws) of Mortal Kombat II.
Mortal Kombat II is finally here! I got Joey C and Gil in studio to talk about this highly anticipated sequel to a movie that wasn't very good. This time we have Johnny Cage, the tournament, and less Cole Young. Does that make the movie KOOL or KRAP?

Dallas and Celeste just got back from seeing Mortal Kombat 2, and they have thoughts. The sequel brings Johnny Cage into the fold, raises the stakes with the actual tournament, and delivers some genuinely great fights and character moments. But does it stick the landing? In the spoiler-free half, Dallas and Celeste break down the pacing problems, the characters who got shortchanged, and whether the film earns its R rating. Then after the break, gloves come off, full spoiler discussion on movie spoilers, Kitana's story arc (the one that should have been the whole movie), what the film gets right as a Mortal Kombat experience, and why it left Dallas wanting to fire up the games all over again.

MK2 (2026): Fatalities, Fan Service & a Panel Divided | ft. Brian from Lucky Finds ComicsJose (Cupcake), Mike (WillDaBeast), and Brian from Luck Key Finds Comics go spoiler-free on Mortal Kombat 2 (2026) — and the panel is split wide open. Karl Urban arrives as Johnny Cage, Ludi Lin returns as Liu Kang, Josh Lawson is back as Kano, and Adeline Rudolph steps up as Katana in a film that's part fan service, part franchise-building behemoth, and — for at least one of us — a brutal disappointment. Fans of Mortal Kombat (1995), Mortal Kombat (2021), and classic video game tournament films like Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport will find a lot to chew on here. We dig into the franchise legacy, the creative team behind the film, and deliver three very different verdicts — including one that drops the hammer hard. Watch or skip?

***Please note the new format. Going forward, we record smaller segments and post them as one, longer audio file. 081 - Mortal Kombat II, Dir. Simon McQuoid Mortal Kombat (2021) was an unexpected hit and good time. The fans wanted a few things changed but It's safe to say it was far and above what was expected after the 1997 disaster. Mortal Kombat II gave fans more of what they wanted but at the sacrifice of the little story that made the 2021 film so unexpectedly great. MKII has more Kano, some excellent Johnny Cage, and more fights between destined characters (and a few deaths!). What was your take on it?

GET OVER HERE!!! We're heading back to the NetherRealm for Episode 205 to discuss the highly anticipated Mortal Kombat 2. Our crew previously reviewed the first film back in Episode 66, and we revisited a few of the points we brought up then. We dive into the introduction of Johnny Cage, why Princess Kitana feels like the true focal point of the movie, and the pointless online drama surrounding Jade's (Tati Gabrielle) appearance in the film. Fair warning, the Mortal Kombat fandom energy was overflowing throughout this episode.With a third film already confirmed and a new video game possibly on the way, the spark behind the franchise continues to grow. Would you want to see a spin-off series or a new animated film?And with all that being said, we still had to ask the ultimate question, Was It Good Though?
On this episode of Damn You Hollywood, Robert Winfree, Jason Teasley and Mark Radulich review Mortal Kombat II (2026), the long-awaited sequel to the 2021 reboot based on the legendary video game franchise created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. Directed by Simon McQuoid and written by Jeremy Slater, the film brings back Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Lewis Tan, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada, while adding Karl Urban as fan-favorite Johnny Cage alongside Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn and Tati Gabrielle as Jade. This time the actual Mortal Kombat tournament takes center stage as Raiden's Earthrealm warriors battle Outworld for the fate of humanity. Does the sequel finally deliver the crowd-pleasing martial arts spectacle fans wanted, or is it just another CGI-heavy nostalgia machine? We break it all down.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

It's New Movie Monday! Today, we find ourselves in a tournament of endurance as we fight our way through a conversation about a movie that is far more video game than film. Griffey, Heath and Sam conjure their special powers of bs to analyze the merits of Mortal Kombat II, how it compares to past iterations of the franchise, the lore it invokes from its arcade origins and ask why it was packaged as an R-rated ride instead of a movie aimed at kids.
