Ep.13 - Our Journey with ”The Journey Begins” Begins (and Ends)

So three people walk onto a leaky boat...

 

If you're waiting for the punchline, it's the animated classic The Journey Begins. We get together this episode to figure out why we decided to watch this "movie" in the first place. At some point we talk about the "plot", but I don't remember. It's all a blur at this point. We did end up talking about The Matrix Resurrections, though. That's gonna be an interesting one, ain't it? I mean, where are they gonna go from here? Is that Morpheus

Let us know what you thought of the "movie" in the comments below!

Ep.10 - MK II: We [Do Not] Become the Ultimate MK Champions

Since we absolutely dominated Mortal Kombat (1992), we felt confident enough to tackle one of the most loved fighting games of all time, Mortal Kombat II (1993).

...

So that didn't go as planned. But, we did have a blast talking about this fan-favorite for our latest episode of Kombat Time! Listen as we gush over the mechanics of the game and recall some of our favorite moments while playing the game once again.

Ep.8 - The Evolution of MK Violence

Mortal Kombat has always been coupled with the word "violence", whether it's parents and politicians complaining about how dangerous it is or fans raving about their favorite fatality. So we thought we'd talk about it in this episode, from the infamous hearings in the early 90s to some of the controversies around MK11. We also focus on how the violence in the games themselves have evolved over the years.

Ep.7 - Annihilation Amnesia

We had to do it at some point. The much-maligned Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is our subject in this very special episode. Returning guest Elliot tries to undo his chains and blocks out his memories of the movie and we also talk some news.

Ep.6 - We Become the MK1 Supreme Champions!!

A wise person once said to truly understand something, you must start from the beginning.

We're sure someone smart said something close to that at some point in time. The point is, we go back to where it all started and do a bit of a deep dive into the original game, Mortal Kombat (1992). We talk about how the game came to be, our experiences playing the game across different platforms, and how the game changed the industry to what it is today.

Let us know what your experiences were with this groundbreaking game in the comments below!
