It's finally here! The trailer for MK12... er, we mean MK1... dropped last Thursday to deafening fanfare, a call heard around the world: Mortal Kombat! What year is it? Our heads are swimming as we sift through the details in the trailer and speculate about story, gameplay, and guest characters.

Ep.37 -Saturday Morning Kombat
Monday May 08, 2023
Monday May 08, 2023
It's finally time for us to talk about one of the most important pieces of Mortal Kombat media, important because without it, the title of our show would probably be something lame like "It Has Begun." We take a lengthy look at the much-maligned "Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm" Saturday morning cartoon show, detailing each episode and exploring the voice actors and creators behind this gem. And like the gem of Tetsuri, Defenders of the Realm may manipulate your emotions, such as breeding hate, disgust, or perhaps joy? Come take an honest look at the series and determine for yourself if this show deserves immortality.
Do you remember Defenders of the Realm? Let us know in the comments below!

Ep.35 - We Need to Talk about Special Forces (with Neal)
Friday Mar 24, 2023
Friday Mar 24, 2023
The first era of Mortal Kombat games ends not with a bang, but a whimper. We finally conclude the first leg of our journey by playing Mortal Kombat: Special Forces for the Playstation. This time all three of us actually gave it a spin, and so has Final Neal of MK Podquest , who returns to help us dissect what is often considered to be the worst Mortal Kombat game. But is it really the worst? We take an honest look, have some deep conversation, talk about some movies, and Neal also gets executed.
How do you feel about Special Forces? Let us know in the comments.

Friday Feb 03, 2023
It's that time again! Time to cozy up by the fire with some great literature, as we explore the Malibu Comics one-shot Kitana and Mileena, and the two-issue series Mortal Kombat: U.S. Special Forces. How lucky we are to get to read these gems! How lucky you are to get to hear about them so you don't have to read them!
Do you agree with our assessment of these komics? Let us know in the comments below!

Wednesday Nov 16, 2022
Wednesday Nov 16, 2022
What's the greatest Street Fighter game? Yup, you guessed it! It's still Street Fighter III: Third Strike. But, a game that may not be as bad as we initially thought is the MK-styled video game adaptation, Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game. We take an honest look at the game, explore its history, and ruminate about the purity of unarmed Kombat.

Ep.31 - The Spooky Realm of MK Creepypastas
Monday Oct 31, 2022
Monday Oct 31, 2022
Has Mortal Kombat ever scared you? No? Maybe not even a little bit? It will tonight, as the Kombat Krew dives into the world of internet creepypastas and explores three spine-tingling (or spine-ripping?) tales that will keep you up all night. We also uncover a terrifying conspiracy about MK11. We know you're not doing anything special tonight for Halloween, right? Or maybe you're just avoiding trick-or-treaters. Whatever the case, keep the porch lights off (and the inside lights as well), curl up in your blanket, and prepare to get frigh-talitied.
