Transcript
- 0:07[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, do we want to talk about our personal history with Mortal Kombat, the game, and or previous films?
- 0:17[SPEAKER_01]: You don't say it like that just so you know, right?
- 0:19[SPEAKER_01]: What do you mean?
- 0:20[SPEAKER_00]: You got to say, Oh, no, come back!
- 0:23[SPEAKER_02]: That's how you say it.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you say it.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you say it.
- 0:25[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you say it.
- 0:26[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you say it.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you say it.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you say it.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you say it.
- 0:30[SPEAKER_01]: That's how you say it.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you say it.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_01]: So we got some cancels.
- 0:35[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm not good at the game.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_00]: Like how are you doing?
- 0:40[SPEAKER_00]: I just played.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_00]: I just played.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: I just played.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_00]: Because I feel like we also probably already did this when we did the last Mortal Kombat, but I just played.
- 0:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, cuz we were in Texas.
- 0:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, cuz Jack.
- 0:53[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know specifically.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_00]: We review the first Mortal Kombat movie in this in this iteration.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_00]: I think we would have been years ago, y'all.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_00]: It would have been years ago.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy, but I just played MK1 on EZ on EZ on EZ.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_00]: And man, I had fun.
- 1:16[SPEAKER_00]: It's fun.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_00]: It's a fun game that they just keep making them.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_00]: They just keep making these games.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_00]: and like and they the way this one is I played the story mode and it's like it's story, it's several levels of stories where they keep, you know, you this, the cutscenes of all of you.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_00]: And then at the end, you run up the tower and so you just do the game ends on you do the tournament by running up a tower and fighting people on each level of the tower.
- 1:45[SPEAKER_00]: It was so much fun.
- 1:47[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna fall I just I try to play it once and I just got beat so bad that I was like I'm not built for this like I'm not built for the extra combos and the person tagging in and they got a combo.
- 1:59[SPEAKER_01]: I like I just I I think I got it like I wish I did I just gotta play on easy You gotta play you know, you just gotta lower Yeah, we did you say who you played as oh, yeah, who's your guy or down?
- 2:17[SPEAKER_00]: I believe I chose Lou Kang at the end, but just, but to, did that play Lou Kang throughout though?
- 2:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, I chose Lou Kang at the end because you right before the tournament, you'd choose and you'd choose, because you play as a story mode, you play as different people.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: So each, each level, it's like, oh, now this person's fighting.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_00]: And so you kind of sort of get the experience of,
- 2:40[SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh, this is how a, this type of person fights, and these are what their combos are, and you, and you over the course of the story, you get a custom to to everybody.
- 2:50[SPEAKER_00]: And so then right before the tournament, you're like, well, who do you want to be?
- 2:52[SPEAKER_00]: Who is it?
- 2:53[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and I chose the game because I was, he, I had the best handle of his special moves.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_02]: Well, when I was younger, when I was younger, sub-zero was my guy, but when I played Mortal Kombat 1, I played with smoke, and I played with Kenchi.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_02]: He's blind but has a sword.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's Kenchi.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_02]: So it was became my tag to you know what I mean?
- 3:19[SPEAKER_02]: That's a fun one.
- 3:22[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, so that was my vibe.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_02]: Bray, did you, were you a more combat or were you like a street fighter?
- 3:27[SPEAKER_01]: No, I was probably more motor combat than street fighter.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I played a scorpion and that's only because it was one of the easiest moves to learn.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was backpunch.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_01]: Do that a little get over here and it's very fun to do.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly what it was.
- 3:46[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly what it was, backpack punch.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I looked, I don't think we did, I don't think we reviewed the first, uh, more did.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_00]: What did I talk to this about with?
- 3:56[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we might have talked about it amongst ourselves, but I don't think we did a public out.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about regular movies just together.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_01]: And now we did, we deleted it from the internet.
- 4:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but no, I liked playing like moral combat was definitely one of those games that like I felt like I was doing something wrong when I was playing it because it was so violent and I knew my parents wouldn't like me playing it if they saw me playing it, so I only played it at people's houses and felt like I was getting away with something.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_01]: you know, because they were like, you know, like ripping the spines out of people's heads.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the fatalities were pretty, you know, even for a video game, you're like, Dale, even the like, even just like shattering some like freezing someone and shattering them, awesome.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_01]: But I never got like super into the lore and I feel like I only knew
- 4:55[SPEAKER_00]: you know, like like the main people like once they once you start getting deep on like who's this you know, yeah, yeah, everybody looks to say I've ever gotten to lower and I find it I find it being more and more complicated each game.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like this detail.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_00]: So this is going on.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I don't know.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_00]: I can't know what that.
- 5:13[SPEAKER_01]: It's like I can't learn all this.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_01]: I'm only mortal on that.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_01]: You're explaining it now.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_01]: Have all the time in the world to, I'm only mortal.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_02]: Come back.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_02]: What, my dream and say, come.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the thing is, the thing is, you know, when I say the first part, I have to say the second part, even if it does it connect to the sentence.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_02]: You do it, do you feel the energy gets sucked out of the room sometimes?
- 5:50[SPEAKER_02]: Do you like the you, has the field that you wouldn't have this?
- 5:53[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I mean, that's I'm just trying to figure out, like, what's your experience of it?
- 5:56[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like, is it, is it, is it fun or is it like, what's going on?
- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: What's your experience?
- 6:04[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know what, sometimes I don't even know what's happening.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying, you know, I'm saying words and then, and then it happens, you know?
- 6:13[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, then all of a sudden boom, I'm in a moral combat.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_02]: Let's start the show.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, that one was pretty good though.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_02]: Lumin' in a moral combat, that feels like a good one.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm saying.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_00]: She didn't say that, but I felt like she should have.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_00]: It was between that or for the first time in my life, I am Johnny fucking cage.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_00]: But I couldn't do the white guy's line.
- 7:07[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, if you were just saying this song, I'd have been like, that's good enough.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I think we did it.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_00]: I think we did it when we last did Mortal Kombat, which, which again apparently, we can't find.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_02]: Which apparently didn't have.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_02]: I know I watched this movie, but I don't know we reviewed it,
- 7:25[SPEAKER_02]: Who knows, we've reviewed so many things today.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_02]: I fight for rumors, rumors, rumors.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_02]: Fantastic.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_02]: Fantastic.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, hey, everybody.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to Blackmail Kinch up in Hollywood.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_01]: We are a film review podcast.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_01]: We review the films of leading black actors.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_01]: Some talk about, well, sometimes.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_01]: And then we talk.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_01]: And other actors of color as well.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_01]: And we talk about them in the context of race and diversity.
- 7:50[SPEAKER_01]: And Hollywood.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's diverse.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_00]: What's happening?
- 7:57[SPEAKER_00]: What's happening?
- 7:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:00[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:00[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:07[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:09[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:09[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:09[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say it.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say
- 8:22[SPEAKER_02]: Someone doesn't care about Hollywood, what does one there?
- 8:28[SPEAKER_02]: Spider-Man is, is it about to be, is it about to be the highest domestic opening of all time?
- 8:37[SPEAKER_02]: If it is, it is $2 million as of today as of recording Sunday, it is $2 million away.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I keep seeing and I keep seeing reports that are either way definitely it's going to pass.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's going to pass for the weekends.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_02]: It's already done that.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and in game is the one.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and game is the highest.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it was that.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_01]: That's a 270, right?
- 9:01[SPEAKER_02]: 337.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there you go.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_01]: It is me.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so it's so it's 355 right now.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but every hour I see a different report like I see it has it will pass I see it's it might pass I see you know like like every hour a different outlet is put it's passing a slightly different thing So we'll see tomorrow it has a chance to make a billion dollars and a weekend which is in That's Truly crazy.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_01]: I did not expect that that's wild especially with especially with it not being in I max
- 9:36[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not an IMAX bro, but maybe that's, but maybe that works to its advantage because it's like people are only seeing the Odyssey in IMAX.
- 9:46[SPEAKER_01]: And then it's like, it's so it's the police, other theaters.
- 9:50[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because I want to see a more room for Spiderman.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: And people aren't like, wait, I want to wait to see it in IMAX because it's like, you know, you can't see it.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_01]: So just go, just go see it.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_01]: And whatever theater, um, all right, we got off on a tangent, but that's, that's fascinating.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah, when movie news, baby, that's movie news.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: That is movie news.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_01]: That is, I, I am, genuinely shocked.
- 10:15[SPEAKER_01]: I was genuinely shocked.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_01]: I was, I was, I was too.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't feel like it's Carter that kind of buzz.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it doesn't seem like an event movie on the same level as an in-game, but it's getting that way.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting that kind of attention.
- 10:29[SPEAKER_02]: What were you, were you, or I think it's so interesting about it is that I think it's coming off of no way home, which is massive.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_02]: is coming off of, I think it played a lot of played into it.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_02]: I think Dustin Daniel taking over helps a lot because it's like we're not going to have this a green screen movie.
- 10:47[SPEAKER_02]: I think the in or doomsday trailer was really poorly received because of that.
- 10:52[SPEAKER_02]: I think you have an adult Tom Holland and a Deltzendaya coming off the Odyssey both of them.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_02]: And like the also it's a comic book.
- 11:00[SPEAKER_02]: It's like you see, I don't want to spoil, but you see characters in that trailer that
- 11:05[SPEAKER_00]: What's happening?
- 11:06[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think people are checking for for Cretan that much?
- 11:10[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I wonder how much?
- 11:12[SPEAKER_00]: So I have to check for him?
- 11:14[SPEAKER_02]: But I think they were very, I think this movie, even though Sadie Sinks character has been very guarded, everything else hasn't been.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_02]: It's like people saw that when they were filming it, he is swinging practically.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_02]: Like, and so that became a tough way.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_02]: They showed the costume early.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_02]: It's to me is what Marvel should be doing.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_02]: I think like a lot of these surprises don't do anything to like better the story or anything of that nature.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_02]: Something they were just very open and I think they're pressed towards
- 11:45[SPEAKER_02]: Because we have three of the stars in two of the biggest movies of the year.
- 11:50[SPEAKER_02]: Like literally you have like John Perth, all Zinday and Tom Holland, Star Ennis, which came right after the Odyssey in the same month.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like you just had a run-ness and saying, sure.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, like that's, I mean, the star, like star is not the top of their game being in a movie.
- 12:06[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's more, I feel like,
- 12:09[SPEAKER_01]: Marvel has had so many movies that people just don't care about lately.
- 12:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and so maybe like this is good.
- 12:16[SPEAKER_01]: This is one that like people are like, oh, we can finally be excited for Marvel movie again.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_02]: I think so.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_02]: Have you seen the trailer?
- 12:23[SPEAKER_02]: You avoid the trailers, right, right?
- 12:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, I get what I haven't watched them.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_02]: The trailers to me looked really good.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like,
- 12:31[SPEAKER_02]: it looks shot well the story looks really finally a doubt and I think people are growing we grew up in the kids who watch out for grew up so I think they're like this is a part of it you know yeah and it looked good they try to look so good so it's still it's still pretty shot shocking I mean I yeah the only other thing that I can think about is like outside of the Odyssey
- 12:53[SPEAKER_01]: Like most of the block, the blockbuster movies this year, have, like, they've done very poorly.
- 13:01[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if you think about just kind of relative to expectations and also the amount like their budgets, like, you know, master of the universe, the Mandalorian and Grow grew this closer day.
- 13:13[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 13:15[SPEAKER_01]: All of those have kind of just been like,
- 13:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, hell Mary came out so long.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_01]: Mary came out in April, right?
- 13:22[SPEAKER_01]: Like I'm talking about like the summer blockbuster movie, which is like when kids are out of school.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_02]: And, but you know what?
- 13:28[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_02]: You know what, to your point, which I, I, I think this is a thing millennials have been complaining about.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_02]: But I think once, oh, yeah, super girl.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_02]: Jinzi came on board.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like the two buying groups have now teamed up with like we don't like things that feel uncared and unlike unattentionally made.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_02]: So anytime you heard Tom Holland talk about it the movie just looks different to me.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_02]: Like it looks like a directed directed it.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_02]: It looked like the writing was done on purpose.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_02]: Like the acting was done on purpose.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_02]: and it doesn't look like what he meant was for people or like was super girl was which or right.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_02]: Mama was which is like just literally green screen a lot.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_02]: Moana.
- 14:10[SPEAKER_02]: And so I feel like people are looking for good.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're looking for like good stuff and like it's true.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_00]: Like, especially coming up with a deal, I think it's like to a degree Spider-Man.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_00]: The property has has the significant amount to do with it.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's not like, yeah, it's all pushing it.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_01]: But yes, I mean, Spider-Man has always done well.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it doesn't matter.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_01]: Even the ones, even the ones that like the Andrew Garfield won where they didn't complete it, it still did pretty well, you know, in real.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_00]: Cause, yeah.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_00]: a thing that's frustrating that's been frustrating me about around the conversation and I know this is moving we're talking about but people have been using this as an opportunity to say superhero fatigue isn't real or doesn't exist and I'm that is it's it's it's frustrating obviously that's yeah
- 14:58[SPEAKER_00]: It's frustrated because it's like it's like this movie doing, doing super well does not mean that like I don't see a superhero trailer and roll my eyes or I don't hear about three more superhero movies being green lit And I don't have a feeling of of not caring.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
- 15:16[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how people can say that with super girl doing so poorly.
- 15:20[SPEAKER_02]: Like yeah, and also I agree with Skylar like Batman and Spider-Man are definitely different like those two characters.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but also I truly think
- 15:30[SPEAKER_02]: The film, whether you like Spider-Man or not, it looks like a real movie.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_02]: Like it just, it looks like a film.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't look like, it doesn't look like, again, green screen, it looks like there's emotional stakes on it.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_02]: It looks like it was very purposefully made.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that is the thing that people will actually know it's like, I think doing is gonna do better, sorry.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think doing is gonna end up doing better than doomsday solely because
- 15:55[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, who want to see the film making that went into doom, like like Dennis is going to come out.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to talk about filming the sand whatever the hell, you know, today is going to come out talk about we were in the desert, but blah, blah, blah, blah, and no one's going to say shit for doom, doomsday because they weren't in the room together.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?
- 16:15[SPEAKER_01]: Like, we're going to talk about the green screen was like it was really big.
- 16:21[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I stood there with all, like, little, but I think to bring it back to this one, I think this movie, uh, Mortal Kombat 2 did well because I think even though this movie,
- 16:32[SPEAKER_02]: doesn't have the same cachet, you can tell they took a lot of the criticisms that people have for the first one into this one.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_02]: Like, Johnny came to did well.
- 16:41[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it made money.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it did okay.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't do awful.
- 16:45[SPEAKER_00]: Like it made money.
- 16:46[SPEAKER_02]: Like, if they were to make a third one, I'm like, oh, but also as a hyperbamanized movie, you know what I'm saying?
- 16:52[SPEAKER_02]: Who's the audience for that for teenagers?
- 16:55[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, well, let's talk.
- 16:58[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, let's let's get to the actual law.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_01]: We've talked about
- 17:02[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about Spider-Man, and that was a little hot news.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_01]: Remember that second.
- 17:08[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we got to get my nose baby.
- 17:10[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, talk about the hot news.
- 17:12[SPEAKER_01]: We should be sorry.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why we don't do that.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's just crazy.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_01]: Bring it back.
- 17:20[SPEAKER_02]: This is a cold news.
- 17:22[SPEAKER_02]: I think we should because also one of the big things I don't know if you guys know this I heard this is not me This is from the town in the big picture, but also a lot of the indie movies that usually are announced by now that's coming out for like Oscar season Don't have release dates in the rumors because everyone's like nothing can compete with the Odyssey that people don't want their actors and they're filmed to like loose like somebody's movies are just like um

- 20:28[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, this came out earlier this year in 2026 April, uh, I believe.
- 20:35[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, was it April?
- 20:36[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 20:36[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was April.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_01]: End of April, 2026, a reported $80 million budget.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_01]: It made $129.5 million.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_01]: Worldwide, I just U.S. That's not a big worldwide.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_02]: Damn.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_02]: That's not good.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, not great.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, oh, that's not great.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_02]: That's not great at all.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_02]: No, yeah.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it did.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, remember people.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it made its budget back.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: I remember people panning it.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I remember.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_00]: Well, okay.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_00]: So what do you think about?
- 21:11[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we'll do right to to made it.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, who is this film star?
- 21:16[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the real star.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no,
- 21:21[SPEAKER_01]: I think she is.
- 21:22[SPEAKER_01]: I think she is.
- 21:24[SPEAKER_01]: I think she is.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_02]: I think she's the lead to.
- 21:28[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 21:28[SPEAKER_02]: I think she's the lead.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_02]: I think she's the lead.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_01]: I think she's the lead.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'll just say that.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_00]: And I just watched this.
- 21:39[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if y'all got to rewatch it before, but I just watched this and the movie is like,
- 21:45[SPEAKER_00]: every time they give John, every time they give katana a moment, they're like, and now we have to give the same moment to John, like they, like they just do the sit whatever like element of like character arc growth, whatever happens to katana, they just go, and now here's Johnny cages time to do the same thing, so they, if anything, they were like they didn't want to, they didn't want to only give a ticketana for sure.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_02]: right.
- 22:15[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which is weird.
- 22:17[SPEAKER_02]: But also, uh, you know, we had Lewis tan in it.
- 22:21[SPEAKER_02]: We have, um, it's like 4 C W people here, which is so interesting.
- 22:25[SPEAKER_02]: It's Adeline, Tati, and Macadbrooks, all from like very famous C W shows.
- 22:31[SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
- 22:31[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe maybe my future x-wife who knows who knows who knows who knows what the world has in store Sure, that's not x-wife.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_00]: Nope.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_00]: That's not a thing to say.
- 22:40[SPEAKER_00]: Why aren't anybody doing that?
- 22:42[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's because she's never gonna get married.
- 22:45[SPEAKER_02]: She's gonna get married and she's like, you know what draw this was fun But we need to go separate ways and I'm gonna be like, you know, I have always thought that in
- 22:53[SPEAKER_00]: In Jurassic Park, in Malcolm says, I'm always on the hunt for a future ex-Mrs. Malcolm, and I've always thought that was the grossest thing you could say, I think he just meant like, my life is, is torrid, you know, and like you don't know what's going to, you don't know what's going to happen, you don't know what's going to come, what's going to go, but you can be happy, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can, you can,
- 23:21[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, this is a sequel.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, uh, McCoy Brooks is back, Loody Lynn, as Luke Kane is back.
- 23:27[SPEAKER_01]: Just a Kubrick Nami is so on your blade is back.
- 23:30[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, tend to boo a sonos back as Lord Raiden.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_01]: Jen Han is back as Jane.
- 23:37[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, a lot of people back.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_01]: And uh, what do you think the Ron Spino score is?
- 23:43[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.
- 23:43[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead and guess.
- 23:44[SPEAKER_02]: 50 61 62.
- 23:49[SPEAKER_00]: 60, yeah, I'll say over 60, 61, 62.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_00]: Man, I don't know.
- 23:57[SPEAKER_00]: Cause you said you were genuinely shocked.
- 23:59[SPEAKER_00]: And the movie was, I remember seeing it being poorly received by people.
- 24:04[SPEAKER_02]: So Brad said he shocked the audience, right?
- 24:08[SPEAKER_00]: So no, he's saying he shocked.
- 24:09[SPEAKER_00]: So, but I'm not sure which direction he shocked in.
- 24:13[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna say 30%.
- 24:15[SPEAKER_00]: That's critics 30 30.
- 24:18[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, that's pretty critics.
- 24:19[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, the actual, no, Jura was actually really close.
- 24:23[SPEAKER_01]: It was 64%.
- 24:24[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_01]: 64 critics.
- 24:26[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 24:26[SPEAKER_01]: Critics.
- 24:27[SPEAKER_01]: How much was the audience?
- 24:30[SPEAKER_01]: 87.
- 24:30[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
- 24:32[SPEAKER_00]: What are people talking?
- 24:34[SPEAKER_00]: What was all of that?
- 24:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like, why did it not do?
- 24:36[SPEAKER_00]: Why was there no money?
- 24:37[SPEAKER_00]: Why is it crazy?
- 24:38[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 24:39[SPEAKER_01]: Positive.
- 24:40[SPEAKER_01]: It's 64.
- 24:40[SPEAKER_01]: Fridge more.
- 24:43[SPEAKER_02]: I saw it in the so and out there and it felt like everybody was, I mean, what do you expect from Mortal Kombat?
- 24:50[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it's hard for me because I'm like, the plot of the games don't really make sense.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, I didn't expect them movie to make sense.
- 24:56[SPEAKER_02]: I just wanted to see like fake tallities and stuff.
- 25:00[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, I don't know how, I don't know what people are expecting, you know?
- 25:04[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
- 25:04[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 25:05[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 25:13[SPEAKER_00]: Sixty-first fresh, so come on.
- 25:16[SPEAKER_00]: It certified fresh and eighty some audience.
- 25:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, what's going on?
- 25:21[SPEAKER_00]: Why they make a money?
- 25:23[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
- 25:23[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to make more.
- 25:24[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I didn't see it in theaters.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm part of the problem, but James James.
- 25:29[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't see it in theaters.
- 25:30[SPEAKER_00]: James.
- 25:32[SPEAKER_00]: I'm part of the problem.
- 25:34[SPEAKER_00]: But why does they make more?
- 25:35[SPEAKER_00]: I can be mad.
- 25:36[SPEAKER_00]: Why does they make more money?
- 25:37[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get into it.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_02]: People like me.
- 25:42[SPEAKER_02]: who was I'll go first, I saw this.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_02]: Cameras and I went to go see this, we ended up can only be, because the movie was selling out in California.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_02]: So we had to go see it in like a Ford, what is the screen where it's like, it's not Ford DX with like the air, but it's like the massive screen where it's like on the left and on the right.
- 26:03[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, right, this is the new thing in the AMC.
- 26:05[SPEAKER_02]: You shot into those?
- 26:07[SPEAKER_02]: It's only, it was only when we could see it.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_02]: It was whatever that theater is called.
- 26:11[SPEAKER_02]: We had to see it in it.
- 26:12[SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen it.
- 26:13[SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen it in there.
- 26:14[SPEAKER_02]: It's jarring, because you're surrounded.
- 26:17[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, I don't like this.
- 26:18[SPEAKER_02]: But I thought the movie was fun.
- 26:21[SPEAKER_02]: I also didn't expect too much.
- 26:23[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I enjoyed what the first one was trying to do.
- 26:25[SPEAKER_02]: And I figured at least this one would be better at it.
- 26:28[SPEAKER_02]: Screen X.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Scala.
- 26:31[SPEAKER_02]: Great.
- 26:31[SPEAKER_02]: That's a bizarre thing.
- 26:33[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was fun.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was very smart to have Katana, I guess Katana and Johnny Cage be the lead to this movie.
- 26:41[SPEAKER_02]: I feel weird that they'd never let Luke King be the lead of the movie, but that's fine.
- 26:45[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the action was pretty good.
- 26:47[SPEAKER_02]: I think this was like some Jackie Chan stunt team who did this movie.
- 26:50[SPEAKER_02]: I think so.
- 26:51[SPEAKER_02]: I think some of the actors are even with this stunt team.
- 26:53[SPEAKER_02]: I think we could have used more fights like the Luke King Kung Lao fight.
- 26:57[SPEAKER_02]: I think some of the other ones I could tell that they were.
- 27:00[SPEAKER_02]: Stump of former as a martial artist like the jacks jade fight was like a little let down for me I agree also I didn't like the jacks for Jade that felt weird that the two black people Somehow got partnered up.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_02]: I was like that's weird the ending.
- 27:14[SPEAKER_02]: I thought was fine.
- 27:15[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought it was a fine movie I thought it was fine.
- 27:18[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was just fine.
- 27:18[SPEAKER_02]: It was like that.
- 27:20[SPEAKER_02]: That was all the playing I would watch it
- 27:23[SPEAKER_02]: There you go, if it came on TNT, and I was home with my parents, I would watch it.
- 27:31[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, that's actually a TNT deal.
- 27:33[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 27:35[SPEAKER_01]: TNT, you wouldn't change the channel.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_02]: No, I would not change the channel of a camel with TNT Braila.
- 27:40[SPEAKER_02]: Look, all right.
- 27:41[SPEAKER_02]: James?
- 27:42[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it's been a while since I've seen that first Mortal Kombat, but I think I would like connected with the journey of that first Mortal Kombat a little bit more than the second one.
- 27:54[SPEAKER_00]: And had I not played in K1 before watching this, I might have a different opinion about how this movie went, but it felt like an adaptation of the video games.
- 28:04[SPEAKER_00]: And that was what I heard before going to see it.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_00]: That was what made me what made me want to go see this was people like this felt like the video game more than the first movie did right and that's it and that is part of what's hard.
- 28:15[SPEAKER_00]: What makes it hard to connect to some of these video game adaptations for me is like I'll I sometimes just want to see exactly what I know it to be now with real people.
- 28:26[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes that's what you're looking for.
- 28:28[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes that's not, you know, sometimes you want to see people doing something extra blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
- 28:32[SPEAKER_00]: Or it's like a very strong take or or what have you.
- 28:37[SPEAKER_00]: But like this just felt like the game.
- 28:40[SPEAKER_00]: I had a lot of fun.
- 28:41[SPEAKER_00]: I had a lot of fun with the fights.
- 28:42[SPEAKER_00]: I agree that that some were little more lackluster than others, but I was on board with the humor, however, like,
- 28:51[SPEAKER_00]: And I think maybe having seen master's of the universe helped make this palatable for me because you know, it's kind of sort of on the same.
- 28:59[SPEAKER_00]: It's just sort of like whatever, like whatever, like whatever top line reference to something else you can make you make it when you're talking about like, oh, we'll call them Gandalf.
- 29:10[SPEAKER_00]: We'll call them such and such and such.
- 29:11[SPEAKER_00]: We'll do not, you know, but I don't know.
- 29:13[SPEAKER_00]: That stuff was was funny for me.
- 29:16[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
- 29:17[SPEAKER_00]: I, and then I also appreciate that we were sort of following Katana like like they they drop you into Katana story early and you're like I can't wait for her to to kill this man and she certainly does.
- 29:31[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, in a in a great way.
- 29:35[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and last thing I'll say is I'm sitting in the same thing happens in the game too.
- 29:39[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sick of the jack's disrespect.
- 29:41[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sick of the jacks disrespect.
- 29:43[SPEAKER_00]: Jacks is a boy.
- 29:44[SPEAKER_00]: They tore that man's arms off immediately.
- 29:46[SPEAKER_00]: He gets killed in the worst in the most graphic.
- 29:50[SPEAKER_00]: And it's disrespect like there's a point in the game.
- 29:52[SPEAKER_00]: And granted, I didn't play as Jacks in the game.
- 29:55[SPEAKER_00]: But there's a point in the game.
- 29:57[SPEAKER_00]: There's a point in the game where you don't play Jacks.
- 29:58[SPEAKER_02]: Because he's born.
- 30:00[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't play.
- 30:01[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't play as Jacks because.
- 30:04[SPEAKER_00]: I can't even remember if you play as him in the main story.
- 30:07[SPEAKER_00]: But by the end, again, I chose who I was most comfortable with having learned, right?
- 30:12[SPEAKER_00]: But there's a point in the cutscenes when you're running up the tower where you're seeing that everyone's dying, but one of them, they just cut to straight jacks is just
- 30:21[SPEAKER_00]: it's like a close-up of like this character you haven't seen the whole game just just destroyed and it's like what why they keep doing this to this black man like it feels like it feels personal that they are that they are doing this to the black guy to me like about the jacks of it all it's like if you think about Mortal Kombat and if you think about like
- 30:44[SPEAKER_02]: Street Fighter always feel like the black dude is big and he's just a brawler Like he's just like I think he's in Street Fighter.
- 30:52[SPEAKER_01]: He's a boxer and in this one He might as well And twist it metal he's he's just a big dude who holds just wheels
- 31:03[SPEAKER_02]: That's what he did that in the show.
- 31:05[SPEAKER_02]: So his whole thing is he drives the car with two wheels.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like there is no car.
- 31:10[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they did it just like the it just didn't match up with him in the show.
- 31:13[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they did do it because you're out with him.
- 31:14[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's just like they did a good job for like the most ridiculous character that could possibly exist.
- 31:21[SPEAKER_01]: Like a game in which there are there's like people constantly shooting gun and firing missiles to have one of the cars be just a human person.
- 31:34[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean like, you know intimidating.
- 31:36[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they did a decent job, but yeah, it's ridiculous and saying I tell you I told you that story about that dude, right?
- 31:43[SPEAKER_02]: That I had to I was getting in me.
- 31:44[SPEAKER_02]: I was I was I was I mean a while ago now But I was like looking to go back to grad school and Julie R. had just started it and so they parted in me with the black dude to show me around and it was him And I don't think I need to do as a audition together for

- 32:23[SPEAKER_02]: They stopped looked at him and said we can take one more took him and then made me wait an hour for them to finish their lunch and I was just by myself.

- 33:09[SPEAKER_00]: Hey
- 33:12[SPEAKER_02]: It was like there was no way they were You could have been you could have been the black option when I looked at chocolate on a stick I was like listen, it is described as chocolate on a stick.
- 33:22[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you what they look surprised that I was there I got in the room and they look surprised that I They're like we let you hear for this role.
- 33:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like we paid the I'll tell you what I bet that's verbatim what they said
- 33:37[SPEAKER_01]: You know what they say?
- 33:39[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, why?
- 33:40[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure.
- 33:41[SPEAKER_00]: You know what you're talking about?
- 33:43[SPEAKER_01]: I think technically we put any ethnicity.
- 33:45[SPEAKER_02]: So.
- 33:46[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 33:48[SPEAKER_01]: Wait.
- 33:49[SPEAKER_01]: How many I think?
- 33:50[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's not.
- 33:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what do you think?
- 33:51[SPEAKER_01]: No, James is finished.
- 33:53[SPEAKER_01]: I did mine.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 33:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 33:56[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I didn't like it, and that's obvious.
- 33:58[SPEAKER_01]: Oh.
- 33:59[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 34:00[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I didn't.
- 34:01[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you couldn't.
- 34:02[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, not at all.
- 34:03[SPEAKER_00]: There's a thing.
- 34:03[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even know.
- 34:08[SPEAKER_01]: I thought my expectations were pretty low for this because I remember, I was like, yeah, the first one wasn't that good though.
- 34:14[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I liked the first one a little bit more than like the average person because when people are like, it's not faithful to the game.
- 34:20[SPEAKER_01]: And like, what do you mean?
- 34:22[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, it's not the game, isn't as a no story.
- 34:28[SPEAKER_01]: The game has a pain or thin story, guys.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_01]: Not like, but, um, oh.
- 34:33[SPEAKER_01]: But I did think it was dumb that they like just invented a new character.
- 34:37[SPEAKER_01]: Makes no sense for that.
- 34:39[SPEAKER_01]: And then they rectified it in this movie by just being like, they didn't have to do that.
- 34:46[SPEAKER_01]: We just viciously murdered the sky.
- 34:50[SPEAKER_00]: They had it, they did, the way that they killed this man.
- 34:56[SPEAKER_00]: They have him go, this is for my family.
- 34:59[SPEAKER_00]: They have him, of this moment.
- 35:03[SPEAKER_02]: And we're so happy to use that guy.
- 35:06[SPEAKER_02]: What makes it bad is he won.
- 35:08[SPEAKER_02]: They, he, he legit won.
- 35:10[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 35:11[SPEAKER_02]: And they were like, you know what?
- 35:12[SPEAKER_02]: No, you don't know.
- 35:12[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, is invisible now.
- 35:14[SPEAKER_02]: So nothing can be done.
- 35:15[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Lily, there was a Freddie Kruger horror movie moment.
- 35:18[SPEAKER_00]: That was like, like, that was a horror movie moment for him to like kill him.
- 35:24[SPEAKER_00]: And then have him be alive.
- 35:25[SPEAKER_00]: I was like so scared for him.
- 35:26[SPEAKER_00]: And then he had the worst death next to Jacks, which is whose death is those are the two worst deaths.
- 35:33[SPEAKER_00]: And they're both people, the jacks were the jacks were the jacks were the
- 35:38[SPEAKER_02]: I felt like that was just a root dead, but yeah, brace out as you were.
- 35:41[SPEAKER_01]: No, but yeah, I just like, it's still like, even though like that fight seemed in particular, it was like, oh, yeah, I remember this level from the game.
- 35:49[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, that's cool.
- 35:51[SPEAKER_01]: I am kind of to your much earlier points, you're like turned off by green screens and like the overuse of CGI and trying to just feeling like I don't like, I know this is all fake and it doesn't feel it's like not exciting for me anymore and I'm just kind of like over it.
- 36:12[SPEAKER_01]: And then I also for a movie that like kept talking about the fate of the world, like we just never see
- 36:20[SPEAKER_01]: Earth really like it's just like the just feels like the the amount of time where the earth is so little and then we're just transported to this like land that just looks fake and like it and not fully realize even though they did this whole intro the beginning and I kind of just didn't really Yeah And so but that being said
- 36:44[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to yuck anyone's yam.
- 36:46[SPEAKER_01]: If you guys liked it, that's great.
- 36:47[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, say it again.
- 36:48[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to yuck anyone's yam.
- 36:49[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to yuck anyone's yam.
- 36:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you never heard that before.

- 37:05[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I got episodes of going.
- 37:07[SPEAKER_02]: I felt like last week, you had some phrases that I didn't like, and now I don't like this, yuck a young.
- 37:13[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I don't like it.
- 37:14[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe this is the first time you're hearing that phrase.
- 37:17[SPEAKER_01]: I've never heard someone say, yuck, yuck someone is young.
- 37:21[SPEAKER_01]: Skyly, you've heard producer's guy.
- 37:22[SPEAKER_02]: You've heard someone saying, I've never yuck somebody's young.
- 37:27[SPEAKER_02]: I have many, you guys are disgusting.
- 37:28[SPEAKER_02]: You guys are, I don't like it, I think it's cool.
- 37:32[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's so crazy that you haven't heard it because you're also single.
- 37:37[SPEAKER_01]: Like, and you're, I feel like you should be, you're in the world where people are using that phrase.
- 37:42[SPEAKER_02]: When people are getting their yumshipped, I don't even have to say it.
- 37:46[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know what you say to where, the phrase.
- 37:49[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, you know what I'm saying?
- 37:51[SPEAKER_02]: The way that you just said it, that's how you feel.
- 37:53[SPEAKER_02]: You said it.
- 37:54[SPEAKER_02]: You said it like that.
- 37:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but you said people are kicking their yums, yuck.
- 37:59[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
- 38:02[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, technically that is true.
- 38:04[SPEAKER_02]: That was happened.
- 38:05[SPEAKER_02]: Young was getting yet.
- 38:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 38:07[SPEAKER_00]: I'm finally upset that my mic was was out and I couldn't participate.
- 38:11[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 38:12[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we don't need any more.
- 38:15[SPEAKER_00]: I heard the first half of it and I was just very upset that my I am sorry.
- 38:20[SPEAKER_00]: I hope let's just go so long.
- 38:22[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to be clear, James.
- 38:23[SPEAKER_01]: You've heard this phrase before of course I've heard of Yuck.
- 38:26[SPEAKER_01]: Yuck my yuck phrase.
- 38:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, of course you heard that.
- 38:30[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, you're not hasn't heard of it.

- 38:49[SPEAKER_02]: We are, it's fine.
- 38:50[SPEAKER_00]: I, I just missed it and I just want to participate.
- 38:51[SPEAKER_00]: But Yuckin' Yamon on their face are just very, very just normal words.
- 38:53[SPEAKER_00]: It's, I feel like you're being something on it.
- 38:55[SPEAKER_00]: You're yuckin' someone's Yamon their face?
- 38:56[SPEAKER_00]: See?
- 38:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
- 38:57[SPEAKER_00]: When you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you
- 39:09[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I'm not disgusting.
- 39:10[SPEAKER_02]: Mortal Mortal Kombat 2 opens.
- 39:16[SPEAKER_01]: Throughout here.
- 39:16[SPEAKER_00]: So when we watched the open cat was there for some of the opening and cat just kept saying, why is this little girl here?
- 39:23[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot so funny.
- 39:24[SPEAKER_01]: That's interesting.
- 39:27[SPEAKER_00]: What I like is that it's fighting for the fate of the, of the, of the, of the, of the, of everybody's there.
- 39:32[SPEAKER_00]: That's the round girl they're focusing on on the, of the room.
- 39:35[SPEAKER_00]: But all, there's a bunch of kids there.
- 39:37[SPEAKER_00]: We just see that little girl because she's going to grow a big katana and kick his ass.
- 39:40[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I just kept saying.
- 39:42[SPEAKER_02]: So great for this opening.
- 39:44[SPEAKER_02]: Um, because I know we're taking a run.
- 39:47[SPEAKER_02]: But, um, I've never seen Game of Thrones and I know you're a Game of Thrones watcher.
- 39:51[SPEAKER_02]: When I saw this, people kept telling me this opening fight was reminiscent of the Pedro Pascal.
- 39:58[SPEAKER_02]: versus the mountain fight in Game of Thrones.
- 40:01[SPEAKER_02]: Do you do you Wait, which fight was feminism of that?
- 40:04[SPEAKER_02]: They were saying the fight between the opening and show was like reminiscent of
- 40:11[SPEAKER_02]: Pedro Pascal, whenever he dies in, um, yeah, I didn't find it in one way, like story wise or the fight itself, like I guess, I think the fight itself, like he was like he's a small to do versus a bigger do and at one point he had a chance to win, but he glutes and then like Bruce Bruelly murdered.
- 40:29[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you cut it's exactly that fight the person has to give it you cannot agree you have to double tap.
- 40:36[SPEAKER_00]: You got to double tap.
- 40:38[SPEAKER_00]: You cannot turn your back.
- 40:40[SPEAKER_00]: You have to make sure and the thing is This happens all the time come on.
- 40:46[SPEAKER_00]: It happens all the time you got to triple tap.
- 40:48[SPEAKER_01]: You got to tap and if you don't triple tap
- 40:54[SPEAKER_00]: Then you got it.
- 40:55[SPEAKER_00]: You got to be going.
- 40:56[SPEAKER_00]: You got to be somewhere else.
- 40:57[SPEAKER_00]: You got to be on a you got to make sure you're not in the vicinity.
- 41:01[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
- 41:02[SPEAKER_02]: Hey bro, you ain't got to say now.
- 41:03[SPEAKER_02]: But two words and a chicken stick to me.
- 41:04[SPEAKER_02]: I'm saying you're hurt at that phrase.
- 41:08[SPEAKER_00]: Don't invent a phrase.
- 41:09[SPEAKER_00]: Don't don't just make something wrong.
- 41:19[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my goodness, hey, this man.
- 41:21[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome, hey, it is.
- 41:23[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, back to me.
- 41:24[SPEAKER_02]: So we see that fight, her dad just murked.
- 41:27[SPEAKER_02]: Then, you know, we fast forward to like, she's in a delg and trained by Jay.
- 41:30[SPEAKER_02]: But the cool thing is, as we get to see Johnny Cage, which there was a lot of controversy when Carl Um Irbin was cast, like, oh, he's too old.
- 41:39[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 41:39[SPEAKER_02]: Why he's doing this?
- 41:42[SPEAKER_02]: but he was so fun.
- 41:43[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 41:44[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I was like, I was like, oh, they better make him his age.
- 41:48[SPEAKER_00]: And they did, that was my thing.
- 41:50[SPEAKER_00]: I said, they better make him his age.
- 41:51[SPEAKER_00]: And then when they did, I was like, this perfect, I'm on board.
- 41:53[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I was just, which mouse is something on board?
- 41:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 41:58[SPEAKER_02]: He's retired.
- 41:59[SPEAKER_02]: He shouldn't be fighting, like, yeah, that made.
- 42:02[SPEAKER_02]: I was, I was with it.
- 42:03[SPEAKER_00]: I, I'll say that in the games, now though, I'm not sure what they were like earlier on, but in the games now though, like he has an actual connection to martial arts in a way beyond just like he was good before and now he's, and now he's not like that, like it's like,
- 42:23[SPEAKER_02]: I can't remember if it's like in his blood, or in his mind, his bloodline are the people.
- 42:30[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to say invented it, but like he is a reason he's so good because like he's a part of, yeah, his bloodline.
- 42:36[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like they could have incorporated that in this movie a little bit more.
- 42:40[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I, the jokes and stuff are funny, like they did a fine job with the like actor pretending, you know, and I thought that that that tracked very well,
- 42:52[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a, I felt like there was a way they could have introduced that without it being super hokey.
- 42:57[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, but they chose to just like mark of the warrior, whatever.
- 43:03[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 43:04[SPEAKER_02]: Did they even bring that up in this one?
- 43:05[SPEAKER_02]: They did.
- 43:06[SPEAKER_01]: They did because he got it.
- 43:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 43:10[SPEAKER_01]: Got it.
- 43:10[SPEAKER_01]: Got it.
- 43:12[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so that happens.
- 43:13[SPEAKER_02]: We see, because I'm not trying to rush to it, but I also feel like this movie is just like basically you're going from five to five, you know, it's levels like yeah.
- 43:20[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, um, what's what's he has at the old movie fight, Raiden shows up.
- 43:27[SPEAKER_02]: Also, Raiden stay get in Mark.
- 43:29[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like in none of the movies, do we ever get to see Raiden, like, really kick him out?
- 43:34[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 43:35[SPEAKER_00]: He's just like, more like on that floor, Raiden was my guy.
- 43:38[SPEAKER_00]: I was, I loved Raiden.
- 43:40[SPEAKER_02]: But in any other movies, even the ones in the 90s, he never was fighting.
- 43:44[SPEAKER_01]: He's never fighting, and he never feels that pat.
- 43:46[SPEAKER_01]: Like he, it feels like he is so powerful, and yet they're, like, every time it's like the only thing he can do is like, all right, and I'll just like make this cage.
- 43:55[SPEAKER_01]: So you guys can't come in, but it's like,
- 43:57[SPEAKER_02]: I want to see this dude fight.
- 43:58[SPEAKER_02]: Also, they always de-power him.
- 44:00[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like that's the thing is like he's so powerful.
- 44:02[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, hey, if it was real, this dude would just wipe everybody out himself, but I'm like, he can't.
- 44:08[SPEAKER_02]: So just let him beat up the minions as something.
- 44:11[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 44:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I, I've been thinking about this, I'm not to bring up.
- 44:16[SPEAKER_00]: not bring a Marvel again, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately with like Hulk and stuff like to wear like why like like I understand that characters are powered on a level that blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 44:27[SPEAKER_00]: So just you just choose to like you're just like you just sideline them, but you can figure out you can there's there's another challenge that you can just figure out which is like one is you're trying to figure out ways to get them off screen or to order to power them the others you can just figure
- 44:46[SPEAKER_00]: uh, like how to pose a challenge for them, you know, like that's just the other route you can go, you know, like why shy away from it, that's just another, that's just a fun creative challenge to try to figure out like what would stand in their way, how could they not, you know, I don't know, I just feel like I wish, especially because we're getting so much of this kind of content, it feels like it's worth it for creators to be thinking about this, you know,
- 45:17[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
- 45:17[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's one of those things where I'm just like, um, uh, yeah, I don't know, but
- 45:24[SPEAKER_02]: You know, this movie moved at a breakneck pace, like once once freaking, uh, what's this name?
- 45:33[SPEAKER_02]: Johnny Cage got to out of a world like it just was moving.
- 45:36[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, he gets there and he fights Katana instantly.
- 45:40[SPEAKER_01]: She was just like, yeah, like they put them all in separate fights.
- 45:44[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, all right, that's fight, that's what you just go through it.
- 45:48[SPEAKER_02]: I did like the fact that um,
- 45:52[SPEAKER_02]: Also, is it bad that like, in the first one, I was like, he survived, so he's got to die in the second one.
- 45:59[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it was like, because they got it.
- 46:00[SPEAKER_02]: No, you did some kind of a casualty.
- 46:01[SPEAKER_02]: Because my thing is, it had to be casualty.
- 46:03[SPEAKER_02]: He's not like, you're not going to, Luke King, if you think about Mortal Kombat one, the game you played, he becomes based out like, more powerful than Raiden or something like that.
- 46:11[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm like, if he died, he's going to ascend to something.
- 46:15[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
- 46:15[SPEAKER_02]: You're not going to kill someone yet.
- 46:17[SPEAKER_02]: You're in, yeah, who else is on the good team?
- 46:21[SPEAKER_00]: But why not, especially because they're right here, especially considering where this movie ends, which is like, they're like, they're gonna, you know, spoiler for the ending, but they're like, we're gonna go to the Nether room and we're gonna get our friends back.
- 46:34[SPEAKER_00]: So like, it's like, yes, we lose, yes, we lose a bunch of people, and I'm still frustrated with how we lose a bunch of people, but the plot of the next movie is gonna be everyone's back, you know, all the people you know and love are backing it.
- 46:47[SPEAKER_00]: So like, why can't you kill?
- 46:51[SPEAKER_00]: Shootin' her little, shootin' her little fireballs, and then it was like, she was always getting out of every scrape, and they rip off my mans on, you can rip off anybody's arms.
- 47:02[SPEAKER_00]: You can rip off anybody's arms, but you know what?
- 47:05[SPEAKER_00]: We got to rip off the sideboard, black mans arms.
- 47:09[SPEAKER_00]: We got to rip off the sideboard, and you know what else we got to do?
- 47:11[SPEAKER_00]: We got to jam a spear through his throat.
- 47:14[SPEAKER_00]: Why, and I know I'm black and so I'm sensitive to this, but it also does feel deliberate that it keeps happening and they treated him like in that final fight.
- 47:27[SPEAKER_00]: They treated him like nothing.
- 47:29[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it was gross.
- 47:38[SPEAKER_02]: in these movies, it is easier to kill a man of color.
- 47:41[SPEAKER_02]: I think who are humans, when they're human presenting, I think like if you watch more to come about one, women did die, but they were like the hybrid, dragon woman or the hybrid, like they weren't like, yeah, I mean, the first death we see in the tournament is the zombie months.
- 48:00[SPEAKER_02]: Like, and so I feel like, you know, it's easy to justify that, but to just kill the blonde white lady, that's tough.
- 48:07[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the tough thing to do like who but who but who literally in the fight Looks like they're not pulling the same weight.
- 48:15[SPEAKER_00]: That's something like like in that last fight But in that last I'm just talking about what's on screen in the fight.
- 48:22[SPEAKER_00]: I love Sony Okay, I love me some Sony But what we even what we're seeing on screen.
- 48:28[SPEAKER_00]: It don't look like she's pulling her weight and she just gets knocked to the side and they rip To shreds.
- 48:34[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't
- 48:36[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I said I was with them.
- 48:37[SPEAKER_00]: I am the I actually am done.
- 48:38[SPEAKER_00]: I'm stop.
- 48:39[SPEAKER_02]: No, but I feel you it is very frustrating, but I also think like You know In this movie in particular, they had to kill people from the humans had and again I don't think you were going to kill Lucane until the end wish they end up doing in this ascension type of way they couldn't Katana wasn't on their side yet you weren't going to kill Johnny because you it was such a big deal to have him in this movie.
- 49:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yes
- 49:02[SPEAKER_01]: Even though he had to loop.
- 49:04[SPEAKER_01]: It was funny because I was like, how are we gonna get out of this because he there's no way he's winning this first battle But it's supposed to be a fight to the death.
- 49:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but that was a nice little plot.
- 49:12[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if they choose also liked that, too.
- 49:14[SPEAKER_01]: They were like, right, they choose.
- 49:16[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 49:17[SPEAKER_00]: I'm all in hit and he did the, uh, he did the sway that was cool.
- 49:21[SPEAKER_02]: They have to do the, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
- 49:37[SPEAKER_02]: It that's great in a good way or bad way.
- 49:39[SPEAKER_02]: So I in in both like it felt good and that I love the martial arts in bad that I could tell they were on a green I have like such a thing about these washed out.
- 49:50[SPEAKER_02]: Oh Green screenshots and I understand it was supposed to be that level of the game Right I still think there's a way to do these things
- 49:59[SPEAKER_02]: that look real in textured.
- 50:01[SPEAKER_02]: You don't understand like, I just, I just really do.
- 50:05[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like because you could tell they put so much work into that fight, having it on a green screen did a disservice to the work they did to do the fight, even though I liked the fight.
- 50:14[SPEAKER_02]: Like, looking dodging the hat, because couldn't allow, sorry, couldn't allow you to be my guy.
- 50:20[SPEAKER_02]: My guy.
- 50:21[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he's trying to rotate.
- 50:22[SPEAKER_02]: She's fine with me.
- 50:23[SPEAKER_02]: Bro, that used to be my guy and even had a game so I didn't have the system.
- 50:28[SPEAKER_02]: I think it came out on like super Nintendo.
- 50:30[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe PlayStation, Shaolin, Monkswell, it was like Luke King and like Kung Lao.
- 50:33[SPEAKER_02]: It was more like an adventure game of them like, I don't know, go through our world.
- 50:37[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that fight was fan freaking fantastic.
- 50:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, you have both now talked about the CGI of this movie.
- 50:46[SPEAKER_00]: It really didn't bother me.
- 50:48[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe it's the how recently I played the game too, but like I, and I agreed with what you just said of like, there's certainly a way to like blend it and make it feel.
- 51:01[SPEAKER_00]: like you're on a real practical set but to me like even if we're just comparing this to like the Mortal Kombat that came out in the 90s one of the things that I think is is fun about this is how they're able to really build out those worlds and have and have it feel like you are you know in the game you know but yeah I mean I guess
- 51:29[SPEAKER_00]: you know, like an overly overly CGI in other capacities, typically bothers me.
- 51:35[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's just, you know what it is?
- 51:37[SPEAKER_02]: It's not that it feels laser or anything.
- 51:38[SPEAKER_02]: It just feels, it feels like you haven't decided what you wanted to be.
- 51:42[SPEAKER_02]: So you're shooting it in this way, so you can decide, like, so you can do the, so you can do that.
- 51:47[SPEAKER_02]: So you can figure it out, like, like when you watch the Bahána scenes of in-game for instance, the Tom travel suits, they weren't wearing those suits.
- 51:54[SPEAKER_02]: Like they went through like so many iterations.
- 51:56[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't even know what the designs were.
- 51:57[SPEAKER_02]: Because they know what it looked like.
- 51:59[SPEAKER_02]: And so that stuff, and just for like it's it's it's I think the beauty not only because of the color and the textures you get will film is that if you shot will film or if you pull like a Around Google or Christopher Nolan and you're shooting an I'm max you don't have a lot of film is harder to do but makes you really think about choreograph and block the things that you're doing and I think that asked like a better movie and film
- 52:23[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, this film like it was just on a bunch of sets like legitimately, it was not even a bunch for sets, the the rate in set that random street.
- 52:34[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was useful with the same street, the same street just in different parts, yeah, I think probably.
- 52:40[SPEAKER_02]: we're looking and conglow for it.
- 52:43[SPEAKER_02]: We're selling it and then they'll for it.
- 52:46[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like those were probably the same send out.
- 52:47[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like those were the same locations, just different rooms because we never got a watch shot.
- 52:51[SPEAKER_02]: We never got a true watch shot of the song if I. Yeah, it's so, you know, it's it's it is what it is.
- 52:58[SPEAKER_02]: What do I know?
- 53:00[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm just saying it's like, guys, be better.
- 53:04[SPEAKER_01]: Did it feel like the scorpion storyline felt great pretty repetitive like I was just like isn't this exact This is exactly almost less less literally almost big
- 53:19[SPEAKER_02]: He literally was like, Oh, he is just again.
- 53:23[SPEAKER_02]: Only difference is that this point, you had Johnny Cage in there.
- 53:25[SPEAKER_02]: He finally gets to do his like, he learns his inner.
- 53:28[SPEAKER_02]: What did they call it?
- 53:29[SPEAKER_02]: That's cool.
- 53:29[SPEAKER_02]: His inner cheese.
- 53:30[SPEAKER_00]: What did they say?
- 53:31[SPEAKER_00]: No, they said your special move.
- 53:33[SPEAKER_00]: They call them like spawning in the air.
- 53:34[SPEAKER_01]: Like, your powers.
- 53:35[SPEAKER_01]: They like call them special moves.
- 53:37[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they said maybe they didn't say special move, but they called them your powers.
- 53:40[SPEAKER_00]: Like, did you got your powers yet?
- 53:42[SPEAKER_00]: Like, right.
- 53:43[SPEAKER_00]: They might I'm gonna have to actually watch back because I feel like I feel like there was a point where Cano was like do a move You know like yeah, yeah do again do a move.
- 53:51[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's something like that.
- 53:54[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna tell you this right now Cano might have been the bright spot of this movie.
- 53:58[SPEAKER_02]: All right Like the moment he showed up out in the movie has like
- 54:03[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, I think the sequence with Johnny Cage and Barack was very fun.
- 54:07[SPEAKER_02]: I think Johnny Cage was a very fun character, but for some reason, there was just a way that that actor, what is his name?
- 54:15[SPEAKER_02]: He's on St. Dennis.
- 54:16[SPEAKER_02]: The way he carried himself, I thought was so well as cano.
- 54:20[SPEAKER_02]: I, I, oh my god, he's the guy who's on St. Dennis.
- 54:25[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's on St. Dennis.
- 54:26[SPEAKER_02]: And do you remember, oh, oh, oh,
- 54:29[SPEAKER_02]: It's so funny and he was on a show with Don Cheeto that it was him Don Cheeto Preston Bell and What is the name of this show you guys house of lies no, yeah, how's it was such a funny Freak they would do they would do improv together in LA like I I mean we weren't remember James, maybe you were
- 54:55[SPEAKER_01]: I never saw, but I remember a American accent.
- 54:59[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like he's fantastic.
- 55:01[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's so funny.
- 55:02[SPEAKER_01]: He's so funny.
- 55:03[SPEAKER_01]: He's freaking rashes it on.
- 55:06[SPEAKER_01]: He crushes this cameo.
- 55:07[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he had the most charisma in that first movie.
- 55:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 55:12[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they got like Carl, I think Carl over and did really well.
- 55:15[SPEAKER_01]: Like so, the movie definitely benefited from having him as well.
- 55:19[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
- 55:20[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 55:22[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, what's the hot like is there either any plot to even really lead on about they have to defeat Shows.
- 55:29[SPEAKER_00]: We're already in the we're already in the already in the another world sequence.
- 55:34[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, yeah, you're just defeating Shalkon that is Yeah, and they do it and then they do it and they sure then they do it I like
- 55:50[SPEAKER_00]: who are they fighting in the uh... it was sub-zero right uh... that's right uh... a sub-zero first one no no no in the uh... another in the other world in the netherworld or whatever the nether realm is called was what's his name was a fighting on new psibot psibot new psibot who is technically who psibot in this i think it's their names the creator's names backwards
- 56:16[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, perfect.
- 56:17[SPEAKER_00]: But it was new side by he is the kept splitting into different like he has the inside and his outside.
- 56:24[SPEAKER_00]: Which is very fun in the game.
- 56:26[SPEAKER_00]: Very fun in the game.
- 56:29[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 56:30[SPEAKER_02]: I like.
- 56:32[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't know, I think it was fine.
- 56:33[SPEAKER_02]: It was like, again, I agree with Bray.
- 56:35[SPEAKER_02]: I think it made that scene did nothing new, but to put new upside-bought in it.
- 56:41[SPEAKER_02]: It would be, it would be a bit cool if he would've been like in the movie, like, hunting people down and stuff, but he did not do that.
- 56:46[SPEAKER_02]: So...
- 56:47[SPEAKER_02]: They call him by on in the...
- 56:51[SPEAKER_01]: That is the name of Sub-Zero.
- 56:53[SPEAKER_01]: Got it.
- 56:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's why that was why I thought it was a deal.
- 56:56[SPEAKER_02]: So he's the mother of the Sub-Zero.
- 56:57[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't using any.
- 56:59[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't using any.
- 57:00[SPEAKER_00]: Ice.
- 57:00[SPEAKER_02]: But that's because his brother, his brother, in the video game comes back and replaces him once he dies and becomes.
- 57:08[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
- 57:08[SPEAKER_02]: So his brother becomes the new Sub-Zero.
- 57:10[SPEAKER_02]: Who's a good guy.
- 57:12[SPEAKER_01]: So the brother's guy, the Sub-Zero.
- 57:15[SPEAKER_01]: Not the bad.
- 57:16[SPEAKER_01]: And I love, I love playing a Sub-Zero.
- 57:21[SPEAKER_02]: Who?
- 57:22[SPEAKER_02]: Subzero sick also, I'm just agreeing.
- 57:24[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.
- 57:25[SPEAKER_02]: If you could play with him, add a friend who was so nasty with him, you could generally never touch him, because he would freeze you or do like ice clones, so you would just fall into the ice clone that he has slid under you or make you slip and I freaking hated him.
- 57:36[SPEAKER_02]: loser had no life.
- 57:37[SPEAKER_02]: Smoke was in this movie, right?
- 57:39[SPEAKER_01]: Or it isn't actually smoke.
- 57:41[SPEAKER_02]: Smoke is what I've always called new cybot.
- 57:43[SPEAKER_02]: I think two different characters.
- 57:57[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's just another one, right?
- 57:59[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so basically people thought smoke and new side by was the same until smoke ended but coming one of the robots got it.
- 58:13[SPEAKER_00]: I literally was just kind of like, oh, yeah, this guy's moving like smoke and also now I think in the most recent game I just played smoke is an adopted brother with with sub zero scorpion.
- 58:26[SPEAKER_00]: It's like he's like the he's their brother, but another brother from another mother.
- 58:31[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and how they say.
- 58:33[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, who was the guy with all the bombs like his fatality who just like drop a bunch of bombs out of his you remember this oh out of his chest Syrax.
- 58:42[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Tyrax.
- 58:44[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, they haven't had him in these movies yet.
- 58:46[SPEAKER_01]: No, not yet, but he probably will be I think they're going to bring them in.
- 58:50[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're going to bring those like where's that do soon.
- 58:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay.
- 58:54[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's my theory.
- 58:56[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to bring them in soon.
- 58:58[SPEAKER_01]: Anything else to talk about here then?
- 59:01[SPEAKER_01]: I don't probably know it.
- 59:04[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not.
- 59:05[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't like that character in the first mortal combat.
- 59:07[SPEAKER_00]: I agreed with everybody like why they got this new guy, but I really thought that they did them, they did a Hella dirty.
- 59:12[SPEAKER_01]: I feel that for the actor.
- 59:14[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he had a horror movie death that he had a horror movie death That essentially was meta making fun of the fact that they introduced him in the first place and they and they and they threw him in it They had been resolved him in as they destroyed his head and then dissolved him in acid
- 59:34[SPEAKER_02]: Bro, when eight when eight dragged him into the past and I was like, this is just they're like he is never coming back Don't worry, we heard you and he is never we will never see this man again.
- 59:46[SPEAKER_01]: I was like that's so freaking mean Everybody else we can save but this guy is guy.
- 59:52[SPEAKER_02]: No, he's we erased him Also he is deleted he was in another movie That actor
- 1:00:01[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, cuz he's like a pretty big martial artist.
- 1:00:03[SPEAKER_02]: He was in badlands.
- 1:00:04[SPEAKER_02]: He was in badlands.
- 1:00:06[SPEAKER_02]: It was a show.
- 1:00:06[SPEAKER_02]: Never mind.
- 1:00:06[SPEAKER_02]: He was a show.
- 1:00:07[SPEAKER_02]: He was a show.
- 1:00:08[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he was in badlands.
- 1:00:09[SPEAKER_02]: He was so good in it.
- 1:00:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, he's good.
- 1:00:13[SPEAKER_00]: He was good.
- 1:00:14[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he didn't deserve that.
- 1:00:16[SPEAKER_00]: He was the first thing I saw him in.
- 1:00:18[SPEAKER_00]: I remember him like he's a great.
- 1:00:19[SPEAKER_02]: He was in dipole for like two seconds.
- 1:00:22[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds right.
- 1:00:23[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds right.
- 1:00:23[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds right.
- 1:00:23[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds right.
- 1:00:24[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
- 1:00:25[SPEAKER_02]: Boy, he gets murked baby.
- 1:00:27[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, Katana, you know, no man could kill Shao Khan, which I think is a Lord of the Rings, right?
- 1:00:34[SPEAKER_02]: Lord of the Rings thing.
- 1:00:36[SPEAKER_02]: So he can sacrifice himself and he turns into a dragon and flies off.
- 1:00:42[SPEAKER_02]: Um, also guys might theory because whatever I believe dragons were real.
- 1:00:47[SPEAKER_01]: So just one of you guys know what you're saying you're theory for the just the world.
- 1:00:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess he's like, yes.
- 1:00:53[SPEAKER_01]: He's like a drunken martial artist.
- 1:00:55[SPEAKER_00]: He literally has like a drunken master type.
- 1:01:04[SPEAKER_00]: fight sequence and he's incredible in it.
- 1:01:07[SPEAKER_00]: And I remember when they cast him in in, yeah, he's later in Copa Kai.
- 1:01:12[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, because they're the ones looking for it.
- 1:01:14[SPEAKER_00]: He was the guy.
- 1:01:14[SPEAKER_00]: They want it to be iron fist, right?
- 1:01:17[SPEAKER_02]: Wasn't there a thing about like people think there was a thing about that?
- 1:01:20[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 1:01:20[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
- 1:01:20[SPEAKER_02]: It is the comics change with iron fist.
- 1:01:22[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like Nate, we really just moved pasturas and he thinks dragons existed.
- 1:01:29[SPEAKER_02]: What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what was that about?
- 1:01:31[SPEAKER_02]: What's that about?

- 1:01:56[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, why does everybody believe this one creature exists it, but couldn't you but couldn't you think that here's where I what I've been where my mind has been going more and more lately is like animals just actual animals are fucking strange.
- 1:02:11[SPEAKER_00]: And if you don't and if you don't know like what that thing is you know for a long time what what is a dragon was probably and then insert you know what some other you know what I mean I suck in my arms right now.
- 1:02:29[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I suck in my arms.
- 1:02:32[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like it.
- 1:02:33[SPEAKER_02]: Okay

- 1:02:43[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
- 1:02:43[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you James.
- 1:02:45[SPEAKER_00]: Why would every culture have say that Why would every culture have some kind of drag and lore?
- 1:02:57[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like English culture has some type of vampire or zombie.
- 1:03:00[SPEAKER_00]: And we know they exist, especially if you think about it in terms of how they evolve.
- 1:03:04[SPEAKER_00]: Because they started as energy, they started as energy suckers.
- 1:03:07[SPEAKER_00]: And we all know energy suckers.
- 1:03:09[SPEAKER_00]: They still exist today.
- 1:03:09[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what they are, energy suckers are yum, yum, yuckers.
- 1:03:13[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
- 1:03:14[SPEAKER_02]: Yum, yuckers.
- 1:03:15[SPEAKER_02]: Yum, yuckers.
- 1:03:16[SPEAKER_02]: John is such great at yum, yum, yum.
- 1:03:19[SPEAKER_00]: We gotta put that on the screen.
- 1:03:21[SPEAKER_00]: And that's just because they're in rice.
- 1:03:22[SPEAKER_00]: It's like yum, yum.
- 1:03:23[SPEAKER_02]: Now, listen, listen, based on what you told me, I believe that if we have a, if I go to the museum of National History and I see these giant bones, but it's freaking T-Rex, or it is Bronosaurus, you tell me, I can't believe in a flying dragon.
- 1:03:38[SPEAKER_01]: Well, do we have bones of the flying dragon?
- 1:03:41[SPEAKER_01]: No, because you don't, I guess, like, you don't want them to exist.
- 1:03:44[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I guess the answer is maybe, because we got dragon bones.
- 1:03:48[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if we got dinosaur bones, we say we don't have dragon characters.
- 1:03:53[SPEAKER_00]: Because also a lot of the time somebody's some of these species They'll be like we got three bones and this is what we think the rest of it look like How you know how you don't know the rest ain't a dragon.
- 1:04:03[SPEAKER_02]: Did you I know what that's so kind is a dragon?
- 1:04:06[SPEAKER_02]: He's he's like a dragon person Yo, oh yeah, he's like a he's like a dragon dude Well, it's definitely time for the cause we were a review.
- 1:04:19[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, it's unreal.

- 1:05:02[SPEAKER_01]: What am I saying?
- 1:05:03[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, the cause of if we feel like it fully helped the cause of leading black or people of color actors and Hollywood, we give it a black fist.
- 1:05:13[SPEAKER_01]: If it's someone helped the cause, we give it a white pomp.
- 1:05:15[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't really help the cause at all.
- 1:05:17[SPEAKER_01]: We don't give it anything.
- 1:05:18[SPEAKER_01]: So on the count of three, we'll raise our ratings for Motorola.
- 1:05:26[SPEAKER_02]: Two, one, three poms, three poms.
- 1:05:32[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't break the bank, but people of color was in it.
- 1:05:35[SPEAKER_02]: We had some black lilies.
- 1:05:36[SPEAKER_02]: We had some Asian lilies, you know, yummers were yucked.
- 1:05:40[SPEAKER_01]: We had some black leads with a plural.
- 1:05:43[SPEAKER_02]: Well, they were lead characters.
- 1:05:45[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, like Johnny, like a jacks and Jay, they were leads.
- 1:05:53[SPEAKER_02]: Right, what's going on?
- 1:05:54[SPEAKER_00]: I got to say this, glad I had to look and see before like I was trying to look before I gave my rating, but the third movie has not been formally green lip yet.
- 1:06:11[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I don't think this movie did, I mean, super well.
- 1:06:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that it did well enough.
- 1:06:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll
- 1:06:22[SPEAKER_00]: energy around it, but I feel like, I just feel like people didn't like it.
- 1:06:26[SPEAKER_00]: I'm surprised the movie is certified fresh and 80% because then why didn't people go?
- 1:06:35[SPEAKER_00]: 87.
- 1:06:36[SPEAKER_00]: 87.
- 1:06:37[SPEAKER_00]: I know why I didn't go.
- 1:06:38[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I mean, life got in the way for me and then that things aren't theaters for show short now.
- 1:06:44[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing's in, nothing's in.
- 1:06:51[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what I'm saying, I always say, a sequel's box office is not an indication of how good that movie is, but an indication of how good the sequel was.
- 1:07:02[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, oh, interesting.
- 1:07:05[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the original, the original, the original, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:07:24[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see if everybody loved no way home.
- 1:07:27[SPEAKER_01]: And that is why that's why I mean, yes, yes, and I think that is true, right?
- 1:07:34[SPEAKER_01]: Because far from home was good, it was good.
- 1:07:42[SPEAKER_01]: And so then the no way home box office, I mean, it was also partially affected by COVID, but you know, it's not doing these numbers.
- 1:07:50[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.
- 1:07:52[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
- 1:07:53[SPEAKER_02]: It's like no way home did it's so gangbusters.
- 1:07:55[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, people were like, listen,
- 1:07:59[SPEAKER_01]: So that's, I think that anyway, I've always felt that way.
- 1:08:03[SPEAKER_01]: So I feel like that's what happened here was like people, the original, not the original, but the first reboot of Mortal Kombat.
- 1:08:11[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't even talk about the 90s movies.
- 1:08:14[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, was mid at that.
- 1:08:18[SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe we haven't talked about that.
- 1:08:20[SPEAKER_02]: And it came out on streaming.
- 1:08:21[SPEAKER_02]: Don't forget it was a streaming one.
- 1:08:22[SPEAKER_02]: Mortal Kombat one was straight to HBO Max.
- 1:08:26[SPEAKER_01]: Don't know that matters, but I did forget that.
- 1:08:28[SPEAKER_01]: It was straight days from that.
- 1:08:29[SPEAKER_02]: It was, yeah, it was straight days to be on max.
- 1:08:31[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 1:08:32[SPEAKER_02]: Yo, COVID is crazy.
- 1:08:34[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, six years ago, COVID was COVID was crazy.
- 1:08:39[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, man.
- 1:08:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, man.
- 1:08:41[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, is that how long ago the first moral comic can come out in 2021?
- 1:08:44[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, that's what I wanted.
- 1:08:47[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the best.
- 1:08:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, still during COVID.
- 1:08:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we still were in the mix of it.
- 1:08:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yo.
- 1:08:56[SPEAKER_01]: So didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't,
- 1:09:26[SPEAKER_01]: The whole other episode, whole new episode, every other week for $5 a month, just dirt cheap.
- 1:09:34[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, but we're doing something fun for our Patreon, all right, we're all going to get a chance to pick a movie that we get to review.
- 1:09:45[SPEAKER_00]: To jazz it up, right, to be a little excited to hear something fun.
- 1:09:55[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't.
- 1:09:56[SPEAKER_01]: Braylock, I was surprised that a movie existed that I had never heard of.
- 1:10:01[SPEAKER_01]: Braylock was already in the, had already been in theaters for many, your days and nobody saw it.
- 1:10:07[SPEAKER_01]: Braylock picked it quite big stars in it when Black Leads.
- 1:10:11[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, and I didn't even hear about it.
- 1:10:13[SPEAKER_01]: Good Lord.
- 1:10:14[SPEAKER_01]: Talk about zero marketing for the call to again.
